There are certainly issues of this sort. I've seen references to "environmental racism" where poor neighborhoods like Altgeld Gardens in Chicago are built on top of reclaimed landfills, and the water pipes are all made of lea

Could land on someone. My understanding is that a lot of the anti-drone defense systems being researched involve catching them with nets.

Not only this, but we should have continuous integration testing. Each batch of every product should be run through a litany of health and safety tests, and such a thing could be crowdsourced.

Even if the end result of Brexit would be neutral in any circumstance, it is entirely possible that prolonged uncertainty would be bad, considering the aphorism that "markets hate uncertainty." Although, uncertainty doesn't s

Really cool ideas for automatic cache invalidation and leveraging rust's ownership to guarantee safety with concurrent reads and writes.

It references studies on human children subjects that I was able to look up, although did not provide easy links. Other than the graphic design and "eww chemicals" I'm not sure what the actual problem is with the content. And

I detest Apple but understand your perspective. However, linux has improved over time for desktop use, and more things have moved to the web. So really I feel like I rarely leave the browser. And if I do, it is just to a text editor or IDE.

This is almost undeniable. Seems like everyone and their mother are using vscode, typescript is huge, .NET Core is FOSS, PowerShell is now open source, etc etc. The Language Server Protocol has revolutionized IDEs in general. And now that t

Open source contributions could ease development cost a bit, but cost isn't the main concern. The concern is compatibility, security, and performance which almost no amount of resources could get Edge up to par. However, a radically ne

Microsoft also has world-class translation services. Mozilla could partner with them just for this. That would be a good idea, I think. Surprised they haven't come up with something. There's also various open source projects tackl

D had a closed source reference compiler for a long time, and didn't have any major backers. Rust had Mozilla backing early, and was fully open and transparent in terms of community feedback, and wasn't just making a language that

That commenter should've said the yield is driven down. The US government wants to borrow at the cheapest rate of interest. If more people want to lend to them, they have more options and can pick the cheapest option.

This is an interesting take on assortive mating, and likely has at least some explanatory power. I suppose, also, prostitution can skew the numbers. If some people regularly service hundreds or thousands of people, then that could have a si
