Agree the article does not make a clear point. I think it conflates several issues. However, risk is now recognised as a necessary component of play: https://theeducationhub.org.nz/promoting-childrens-risky-pla...

Seems unlikely given that out in the free world we’ve seen a consolidation around Chromium. The web is mature enough at this point that the choice of browser engine mostly isn’t a differentiating factor.

This is somewhat mysterious. Sabre launched in 1960 on a pair of of IBM 7090s (a system itself launched only a year prior) but the first HDD compatible with the 7090 was as far as I can tell, the well-known IBM 1301 which didn’t ship until

Tika uses PDFBox under the hood, using its built-in text extractor (which is "ok"). If you're looking for table extraction specifically, check out Tabula ( https://tabula.technology ) which is also built on top of P

Having spent some time in academia I can tell you the answer - it's the cheating. The rise of science in developing and recently-developed countries where corruption is still endemic has led to there being a large cohort of students an

Hard disagree. This sort of conspiratorial dismissal of plain evidence has been going on since at least the moon landings, probably since the dawn of time. Ignoring the evidence of your eyes and ears is just part and parcel for members of p

This is not actually true. For example the NYT news desk does not employ any fact checkers. You have to go to the opinion desk for those.

Home builders operate on borrowed money so high interest rates push up their costs significantly. Worse still, with rates expected to slowly come down they’ll be selling into a market where house prices are likely lower (in real terms). Nei

It’s actually transportability and shelf life that were the original drivers - looks were a follow-on trend. The former of course translate to price - which I can’t argue with people for being motivated by.

> you must now pay a 30% surcharge on gasoline you use. What happens when you have low income and cannot afford a car? What a strange example. Over the past few years gas prices have fluctuated by 100%. Your idea comes pre-disproven. You

I assume you mean AWS Athena - but no this is quite different from FoundationDB. Athena separates compute from storage (it’s Presto https://prestodb.io/ under the hood). Think of it as an on-demand SQL compute cluster. Foun
