According to Verlinde, there is no dark matter. Tell me how he's wrong point-by-point. Just because gravity is emergent doesn't mean it still cannot have effects similar to what's been perhaps wrongly attributed to dark matte

Some feedback for the OP: 1. The tester and another team member spent a year developing something that would intercept calls and relay them. Two problems with that: (1) two person years spent, (2) and that sounds like serious NIH (not inven

My point was that these biases and agendas have more and more driven a wedge, dividing the people of the U.S., Britain, and others.

(Note: fredley responded when my comment was just the first line about public libraries.) I think this gets too expensive. Instead, I think you need to just serve the lowest denominator and help those that don't even have that with oth

Some computers are too old and slow to run the JS in the client as the IDE. Either the browser is old and incompatible, or it would just waste precious internet cafe/library computer time for each action. Either the JS needs to be fast

This post gets it close, but what we need is the best tools that can run in a web browser on a public library computer. Many don't even have a Chromebook or RPi. And really what we need are the best tools that can run on the lowest end

I think that Google removed it from their results intentionally. Google has the ability to restrict results, and for it to be weighted so highly after they "fixed" it, and because they gave no indication of what was wrong, I think

That's new to me. I work for a company that doesn't work in metric, and the reasons we haven't switched are: 1. The customers use inches. 2. The expensive machines we use are configured in inches. 3. The code we use uses inch
