20-33 percent? That's crazy! I often encounter MAVN for restaurants in Austin. Looking them up, they $50 a month and $0.25 an order, which is way more reasonable. http://www.whatismavn.com

How did they estimate the age of the crater? Did they bring some moon rock back and test it? Or infer it using other data?

How old is this article? Neo4j is not "designed especially for Java". Their Bolt protocol[1] allows you to interact with it via binary, and is built into their official Node.js driver[2]. [1] https://boltprotocol.org [

This is a fascinating and frightening technology. Used altruistically, this can heal a lot of people and prejudices. But how long until people use it to reinforce their own prejudices, simulate dehumanizing scenarios, or force it on others

I agree it was wrong to label Obama a political genius for that, but that doesn't make the current movement wrong too.

I feel the same with ReasonML / OCaml. I've spent hours on a refactor and everything work beautifully after fixing all the type errors.

You might be interested in Concatapult [1]. I built it to minimally cover server needs (first-time setup, env vars, testing) and optionally add tech as your project needs it (react, knex, typescript, etc). Basically it's a lego-like

FYI, I still believe in an afterlife. The bible talks about a resurrection where all will be raised from the dead for judgement. It's common misconception to think we float off to heaven or hell as disembodied souls. The difference is
