After the gold rushes were long gone, people still offered to let people rent a shovel, a pan, and buy a map to go try to find their treasure by panning in a river where most everybody knew there was absolutely no balance to the time+effort

I grew up with whole milk, weened myself to skim (and came to NOT like the heft of whole or 2%), then essentially stopped milk altogether. With kids, milk was brought back into the fridge (whole). Now, I prefer whole (certain premium organi

Hersh is a tired 78-year-old sitting on an exploding story. Someone is trying to talk about the context, from an org that is already figured to be coming from a bad angle. He's got 100 other things to do that will stick to the core of

It's a bit early to even crank the bait headline machine up, but I love "Pill Savior" articles. Deuterium-containing fatty acids supplant hydrogen-containing in cell membranes despite heavy fat intake being 1-2% of toatl ener

It's nit-picky but the bother to owning and the value isn't based on measuring the difference between the software models (which are very good; d16 group's are phenom) and the hardware. It IS the hardware itself. It's th

It sure would be nice if they could come up with something that provided developers an opportunity to develop best of breed experiences based on the type of device, screen, pixel resolution, etc. But, then they did. The Universal App templa

Thanks for the mostly transparent insight into your experience. How does one enter a deal to pay back investors with a shuttered operation? Does that mean make them whole or just pay something back? It seems like someone is holding onto a b

Organized group warfare? Do you mean bar fights or nation-states and insurgents? What proportion of humans take part in acts of organized group warfare? Saying war is natural to humans is to selectively ignore that the vast majority seem to

Bonobos are about as close and they are hedonistic little buggers. Judging by the internet, I have a hard time believing that sex is a pure invention, given its universality across space, time, and our most closely related genetic relatives

That's a fair point on the use of that literary cliche. Yet, the main thrust of the idea is valid. Peace is a relief against from which special events (wars) are defined. Whether it's valid AND important to his thesis is doubtful.

With a tin ear no less. It seems that these types of statements focus on a small world vision devoid of a taste for, or experience, within the walls of mid and larger corporate entities whose systems are windows 10x over. Knowing that a mas

That was my first big ? as they were rolling on this set of features. But, in terms of languages, the uptake for MS with another language seems like merely a bandwidth issue at this point. Build 2016 could feasibly include Swift? What if th

Second this with my WP preference. I have a device for the major platforms, but my WP experience is better than the others. It's more intuitive and has is already where the others seem to be trudging towards, in terms of content first.

I increasingly come to expect this sort of product since kids coming up expect their products to be like this. He may be a leader in this, but the group coming up definitely will be demonstrating the "Yes, and..." attitude in term

What if a small, semi-random sample of voters could fire an elected official for any piece of legislation they attach their name to? I see the grades in Iowa elevating and the market-value of a degree from Iowa discounting. You get an A! Y

There is no mention of Android in that 2010 article. The Android issue is the new announcement. Scale claims are Wired's.

Generally agreed. PL's are a part product of all of history of computing, but a bigger part is a product of the programming Zeitgeist. It's better to be a young language than to have matured 15-20 years already. Certain syntactic

There are only so many LINQ's in the history of programming or any programming language. It is unlikely that anything added to the language, at this point, would have such an impact. On testing and pre/post, this is an area around

My opinion is probably as invalid as the author's or most anyone else's... but I can't let a couple things just sit. Just because some closely related primates display something we can interpret as war doesn't mean you c

It's a start! There is big space for improvement in supporting the complexities of research studies, but this can definitely be a jumping-off and may well support broad consistencies in design and implementation. There would still be a

Ehhhh. I'm 40+ and I've never had so many opportunities. Then again, I love this stuff, so it's not really work to keep up. I still love the shiny new thing, and my ramp-up is faster since I've seen most of it before. It

I am so putting one behind the toilet paper roll to enable "the button press of shame." My hope is that this is for April 1. I can't believe this isn't already built into Keurigs.

This piece is a well-built observation; woven from the oft frayed edges of film and books. Really cool to see someone have moderately concise and clear thought that binds across the many fields interested in their respective piece of the la
