Are we still linking to this snake oil salesman?

You mean the first version of Symfony (Symfony 1, which was monolithic like Rails), and not the current Symfony (Symfony 2/3) which has nothing to do with the old one other than th…

Another example is Symfony2, which is completely decoupled (not just loosely coupled). Oh but php programmers are bad, am I right HN?

Uh, so how do I point out that the guy is a fraud? Did you read the whole sentence?

Yet another failure for patio11, the "how to be successful" blog posts guy.

The Universe is expanding, and some parts will never interact with other parts, because not even light could make the trip. One could say they are now in separate universes. So tha…

Intelligence maybe, but sentience? We haven't made any progress in that. We don't even know if science will ever be able to figure that out. See: the hard problem of consciousness.…

The foundation has no say whatsoever in the project.

The block reward only halves, it doesn't "go away". Unless you are talking about when it can't halve anymore because of the 8 decimals limit, which we could just remove, just like …

What do you mean? :(

"Waking up: A guide to spirituality without religion" by neuroscientist and philosopher Sam Harris. Don't be so quick to dismiss it please, give it a try. It's not mysticism.

Plants can't "prefer", they are not conscious beings.

Any suggestions?
