Surely UofChicago did not cost so little 10 years ago? A factor of 4 in ten years does not seem realistic.

I think you're right, but I don't understand why creating a browser engine is such a monumental task. Is page layout really so complicated?

I don't think thw committee's options are really so limited. They could totally have defined a JavaScript 2 not backward compatible with JavaScript 1. Browsers, of course would have then had to support both, but who cares? Espec

What does that mean?

How much could we possibly get? Nothing proportional to the cost of a solution, certainly.

I'm no authority on this stuff, but I don't think it has to be one single universal ISA for everything. In the same way I can compile my C program to run on x86 or arm, I can design it to interface with two different possible sto

And an autonomous vehicle should drive so that, whichever of those things happens, it will not drive into anything. This may mean that the car drives rather slowly when the treeline is close to the road, or extremely slowly when the road is

The trolley problem is not relevant because an autonomous vehicle should never put itself in a position where it might drive into anything.

Ignorant question: for the purposes of this article, are all clothes "fashion"? Are other things fashion too? Which ones?

Perhaps the article's reason for being is simply that, if you publish a headline with a professional-looking article behind it, then large swaths of people will have their opinions swayed without actually reading through.

Datomic is really neat but, for any system that operates at significant scale, I think the approximately-10-billion-datom capacity is probably too great a concern. For example: Stop&Shop has 415 stores, and 365 days * 415 stores * 1

The GP's point (I think) is that many companies have much greater lobbying might than Intuit (Amazon, Google, Cocacola, Unilever, ...). Those companies may not care so much about how taxes are filed the way Intuit does, but they do ca

I am not a computer engineer and I always wondered: What if we had a modern, pipelined CPU architecture with no branch predictor, which instead unconditionally executed the X instructions immediately following every branch before (possibly)

Sort of, but in this case circumstances are somewhat complicated by the PRC's authoritarian government which is prepared to deny market access for political reasons. So it's not the opinions if the people with money to give that a

Learning Chinese is no harder than learning any other language. Unless there's a language you already know that is unlike Chinese and more like other languages.

That's theoretically true, but more far-fetched considering the amount of steel involved. Synthesizing jet fuel from atmospheric carbon, directly or indirectly, is an active area of research and will likely happen at some point.

If you ammortize the environmental impact of building the rail network over all the rail trips, it might swing the other way. Especially if someone figures out carbon neutral air travel in the next decade.

Does sprawling imply not dense? As densely constructed as the city of Shanghai may be, 2-hour commutes are not uncommon because millions of people live that far from the city center.

That's already how everyone is reading the existing headline, though. It's not like anyone is being misled (I don't think)

I tend to agree with you but the GP may feel that we live in a society that has decided showing off one's body is the only way for a woman to get attention and succeed and that any feminist who realizes it should try not to go along wi
