In a recent case of someone living in TX learning that their fetus had trisomy 18, there was a whole legal case that had to be fought, and when Judge Gamble ruled that terminating …

adding a “can” in there can clarify the author’s intent, I think. I mean, some truth to that, a political economy is not a solely hands-off thing in all cases, or solely planned-ou…

So could you slowly rotate a satellite and extract a bit more energy in orbit? Since the side facing the sun is baking and the side that's away is freezing?

For one, this is not as one-sided and simple as "X is a tax burden". The Congressional Budget Office reported in 2007 that "the tax revenues that unauthorized immigrants generate f…

On the second point, I think folks are rightly dubious about the effectiveness of incentives broadly[1]. There's also some hilarious historical examples of incentives backfiring or…

This is a common argument (bordering on memetic and cached) and well, the budget for ISRO is about 170M USD, rounding up and considering steady increases lately. That 1:9 compared …

I'm quite taken aback by the vitriol in those comments. Programs are meant to be read by humans, and language/terminology has a huge impact. If there are cost-less replacements to …

Chernoff faces are pretty fun to play with too! A while back, I played with it[1], and they do seem useful. I wonder if more realistic faces lead to better utility as a at-a-glance…

I like this tool. Been waiting for something I could recommend to occasional terminal-users I meet and help. I'm very glad it was posted here.

This looks really awesome. I liked that rehydration was factored out with a higher order component like that. That seems like a much cleaner solution. Overall, I'm really intrigued…

Check out Hyper.sh too. It abstracts away the whole datacenter -- you can use `hyper` instead of `docker`, basically. You don't need to think about VMs ever as a concept, container…

For small teams like the one I work in, and for solo work I have dabbled a bit in, I can imagine the following thought process if I have a git repo and sit down to think about how …

But Hyper.sh is still competitive, I think, even though it's super young. They already have a high level AWS Lambda alternative (Hyper Func) that uses containers and is fully langu…

I was considering the first column, which does list Thailand as second highest in terms of road fatalities per 100k inhabitants. By second column, I didn't mean to say skip the col…

You may find this interesting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_traffic-r... Sorting by the second column gives a good picture about which country has more danger…
