It really shouldn't be allowed to publish science without the underlying data regarding what you did - barely any of that list gives much hint as to actual ingredients. That said, this conforms to a lot of previous research regarding f

Would I be right in assuming there's no open source CFD apps capable of the kind of demos he was doing? Any proprietary apps?

Really? All your documents, finances, photos, music, movies, messages, health data, viewing patterns - might as well just give that to Google since they already have your search queries? That doesn't make any sense.

It's become beyond obvious that existing Bitcoin blockchain technology has no real ability to scale, function as a long-term store of value, or withstand even moderate attacks by bad actors. The hype has gotten in the way of building s

It's an amicus brief filed by DoJ with the Solicitor General's name of it - a man directly appointed by Obama in 2011. In more ways than even other DoJ briefs [1], there is a straight line from this to Obama, and surely if he wish

In fact we are in so far the hottest year on record, following 2014 as the hottest full year on record. All of the 10 hottest years on record have occurred since 1998. The oceans and atmosphere are, as has long been predicted by climate sci

Yes, and there is quite a lot of science explaining why we are seeing a temporary rise in Antarctic sea ice even as Arctic sea ice and Greenland/Antarctic land ice melt. It's not that complicated - the amount you know about the to

I wonder how difficult it will be to manage pull requests for merging against node.js & io.js simultaneously - also, creates an interesting political situation if one project accepts the PR but the other doesn't (I would guess io.j

I think http/2 solves some of of the issues regarding round-trip. One real problem with mobile vs. web is versioning, the inability to ensure that you can keep your client & server in sync. In some ways one of the biggest advances

But what you're branding Triton in fact appears to be a PaaS GUI on top of SDC? i.e. the way people manage their containers/hw in Triton the service, is not available in SDC which seems to be all CLI tools?
