In 1800-ies the typical American mother bore 7 children. So nothing amazing. Standard human biology.

And they are also likely to be happier than you are ;) Primarily because of the same factors that you've mentioned.

Well, pretty soon the U.S. military will consist of even more poorly-paid drones who care less about family and community than they do about abstract bits of information coming fro…

How about using statistics/machine learning and showing these spam warnings only when people want them? Yes, it is hard, but this is not an excuse! Besides, fixing spammy warnings …

Following your logic: "You'd have to be crazy to give away stock as part of an investment round. Even it were possible I can't imagine many project creators making that choice. The…

I dunno. Sometimes I'd be happy to drop 5-10k to a good project. Just to kickstart some good new tech or product. But not getting equity kinda sucks.

Unknown Internet Source: "Despite the fact the light water and heavy water are chemically identical, heavy water is mildly toxic. How can this be? Since heavy water is heavier than…

Don't get me wrong. I like functional approach. I am developing in functional languages as well as in C/C++. I think these techniques actually do have a place in the production lev…

I very much agree. I should have stated more clearly that "20 years of coding" requirement in my post should include software (and hardware development) in a variety of languages, …

Sorry about being an asshole here, but really. The problem with articles like that, is that a novice developer, with some 5-10 years of experience can pick up an article similar to…

Hey! This is great! I can fill my C++ code with statefull functors and lazy evaluation. The enemy shall not pass. No one will ever be able to debug it. Instant job security. Seriou…

Oh. Common. No need for any new inventions. Just replace a person [that gets entangled with a particular outcome of a random event (have measured it)] with a simpler organism, say …

Can't I? What if the state of these poor remaining neurons and the body is scanned, encoded as polarization of a bunch of photons and sent to a receiver far far away? In that case …

> So for my current body, the event never happened, although you might have written the number down and will always remember it. In other words, the past is relative. So where this…

And what if you would move away from that surrounding matter? Or, say launch it away with near light speed, so it would get behind the horizon at some point. How is that situation …

I have a question. I just went to a source of physical (quantum) randomness http://www.randomnumbers.info/ and I'm giving you a random number between 0 and 10,000 which I've just g…

I agree with you absolutely. If you are yourself encountering lies and nastiness from your partners, an enlightened way would be trying to understand them. And forgive. But my poin…

According to Wozniak, Jobs told him that Atari gave them only $700 (instead of the offered $5,000), and that Wozniak's share was thus $350.[65] Wozniak did not learn about the actu…
