'old' vs 'modern': I run a search engine. It is big enough that it needs drives, caches, firewalls, VMs etc. The front end is php. No classes, no phpadmin, etc. Just pure vanilla php. Sometimes I tail /var access lo

Speed of nerve impulse through tissue: Up to 120 m/s Add to that muscle charging time. Add to that tissue acceleration. Etc. The fact that the brain decided 200 [ms] before the finger moved is just plain newtonian physics in the macro

Nah he's right. They have a history of axing stuff with 0 care about personal or corporate users. Search 'Google graveyard' , etc. There may be a huge market, but your dev time will earn income for not many months/years.

And people that don't, often have to buy/run antivirus, anti-malware and rootkit scanners/cleaners. Say, do you run also without a firewall and keep mail and other ports open, just to prove you are less paranoid than the rest

Because, in 5 , 10, or 200 years. When societies (or rules) change, it will be used to discriminate or worse. "Whoever doesn't study history is doomed to repeat it.'

That front remains to be seen. However, 128 lanes, 8 channel ram; It will make a mess out of Intel in the vm hosting arena. I'm glad I don't own any Intel stock atm :)

But you got born in a civilization with access ramps, accessibility washrooms, semaphores with audio feedback , etc, just in case one day you may be incapacitated in some fashion. If such tragedy strikes, you can still be productive and som

To see how horrible your words sound to some of us, replace ADA with 'elderly healthcare'. It's not always about efficiency, and that slippery slope you are calling for, historically, ended bad. What should disgust you is the

As I say, that was my assessment. I just wanted to be friendly and share my views. But, people are free to do whatever they want with their money. Just keep in mind that Snap isn't AMD, and snapchat CEO+board inspire opposite of confid

Of course, that's because you did something morally wrong. This is different than what people label as 'echo chamber'. In there you'd have either 100% love or hate. Having mixed responses verging toward hate, says you sc

Interestingly enough, as a non American poster I find it amusing with the US posters having predominantly this type of selfish response. Every time healthcare is discussed on reddit, slashdot, etc, most of the people commenting on us health
