This reminds me of the article I read this morning about beard transplants becoming popular in NYC.

I agree, who would want to stop thinking? Though I'm sure we'll be told by someone we "just don't understand" and that it's ambiguously deeper than that.

I would say you need the laws of science's permission to do anything.

Yeah, the set theory bit was kinda bull shit. It's really nothing like set theory other than the word "contains". And the "Mathematicians have seen that far" sounds like typical snake oil selling.

One tip cause it's a big pet peeve of mine: move the images at the top in the a tags. That way you can click on them instead of just the text. Looks cool, if it works and has good reviews, I'd buy it!

Wait, is he just changing version numbers? Suddenly he goes from most committed programmer ever to most...frivolous?

This isn't the best thing since sliced bread. It's better than sliced bread.

Indeed, the "just start" approach is awesome. It cuts the excuses people find to continue to "prepare" or procrastinate.

Nice job, though you could argue a big part of the prototyping (in fact, the main feature) was already completed. Most of the design decisions, illustration and how the information should be displayed had already been 90% provided by Neila.

The technology is coming, whether anyone here likes it or not. Whether it's nanotech, web prying or any other things we haven't even dreamed up yet. This is inevitable, you can't ban research and development into it. The peop

I've never quite understood this argument. I hardly think a Colt and a Wingmaster are going to help stop trained soldiers, drones, jets, tanks etc. It is ridiculous and ignorant of reality.

I'm not supporting shit, I'm just saying whether you like it or not, the technologies eventually going to get to the point where you can't prevent it. Whether it's incredibly small drones, nanotech or your own cellphone,

There's lots of felonies the private sector commit anyway. Industrial espionage is already a major market in the world.

I think super accurate mass surveillance is inevitable. It goes with expanding technological capabilities, both government and civilian. I think the real question needs to be focused at how it's applied, whether it's used solely f

It's amazing the performance difference with WebGL on Chrome vs Firefox. It lagged to like 5-10 fps with Chrome, but am getting 60+ it seems with Firefox.

That's odd, I reject Apple for the same reason. I joke of course, but Apple builds monopolies they have tight control over, sue for anything and basically tell everyone who doesn't like it to screw off (and they can because they h

I read this as 5 US Paratroopers, though I think that'd be all it would take. They are the "French" Canadians ;) jokes

I haven't seen any trend of bashing China, unless of course reporting honestly is bashing. NASA, despite its huge budget cuts, in the last decade has operated three rovers on Mars, landed one new one (via spectacular jet crane awesomen

Rather than smashing $500 into oblivion, wouldn't it be better to sell it and donate the money to some worthy cause, you'd probably be able to get better publicity coverage for that too. I can't help but feel disgusted with p

Brilliant actor in every role he had, one of my favourites. Really sad to hear this.

As long as clueless fucking judges allow this shit to keep happening, America is going to keep losing its tech edge. These patent trolls make creating anything in the US risky for businesses.
