My next keyboard will be columnar/ortholinear. It just makes so much more sense compared to the staggered layout on a standard keyboard and it doesn't require you having to learn a whole new layout like dvorak.

I already do my part for the environment by not having kids. That's a much bigger impact than trying to reduce the amount of meat I eat. So I'll eat whatever I like, thank you.

The cost will come down. 20 years ago, the cost of sequencing one person's genome was over $100 million. Today it's $1000.

The pilots were trained on how to deal with a runaway trim stabiliser. The procedure hasn't changed from the old 737, the only thing that has changed is that it is that the failure mode is more likely to occurr on the 737 MAX. From the

I'm not a professional web developer, but in the experience I've had building a couple of JS heavy sites, I've actually found the Edge developer tools to be the best. If there's one thing microsoft knows how to do well,

Well, I guess you have to start somewhere. I'm sure his goal is to make a machine where you can just dump clothes in and they come out folded. But the technology isn't there yet and it takes time to develop. He's probably hop

With milk, the measurements used seem to depend on the type of milk sold. If it's regular milk, it will be sold by the pint. If it's UHT or filtered milk, it seems to be sold by the litre.
