It's possible that some (many?) programmers enjoy a Ruby-like syntax?

I wouldn't either but now that I have one one my desk, nightstand, and coffee table; I could never go back.

That's a bit relativistic; no? How could something that dies at a mere gram of arsenic have survived for so long?

Honest question, do you think a 2x factor of error is all that significant? Maybe it's just my EE background (where everything is measured in logs) but anything within an order of …

Do you have any links I could peruse that explain how UBI would flatten the demand curve, rather than just shifting it?

Does anyone know if there is a PAC aligned around technology-savy candidates? Seems like something the EFF should be involved in.

Both this and all the railgun technology the Navy has been developing. Undoubtedly part of the reason the new Zumwalt class destroyers are electric drive.
