Many people correctly surmise that the benefits to individuals are temporary and will sunset, after which their taxes will be higher than when they started. Also, provisions such as repealing the individual health insurance mandate lead to

Fair enough, maybe it depends on your definition of "full bust". But consider this... if the price were to go back to where it was just a year ago before the current mania (which is a common thing to happen when a financial bubble

Bitcoin absolutely could go full bust. It is not a physical commodity, there is no utility outside of its perceived value. It is not a company, so it doesn't even have book value as its floor. And the technology is open source and w

This should give the big Wall St banks the ability to muck with crypto prices however they choose, just like they can do with gold and silver and other commodities (for example, Goldman magically closed gold positions and sold short 2 days

That's what the insurance industry is for. Just make the companies liable, and they will seek insurance. Insurance companies will force them to take reasonable measures in order to carry a policy. Nothing new under the sun.

It is correct to hesitate to guess ethnicity based on names. Quite sure there are plenty of people of color named Smith and Johnson. Also, even if these were Caucasian names, the article states that the system disproportionately targets

Critical thought often requires intentional effort, even by those who value it. And many people that I come across do not even seem to value critical thought, especially when it comes to politics... to the contrary, there exists a movement

I find your post to be cynical. The article you attribute to Adafruit is not written by them, they just linked to it from their blog, ostensibly as food for thought and discussion. A couple of years ago I had the opportunity to interact wit

Why are we to assume this is a bad thing, or that it is even something that won't be sorted out by natural selection?

True enough, I just think it is a bit misleading to act as if that is somehow the colloquial Model F Keyboard when really they are recreating a pretty obscure keyboard relative to the XT or AT Model f's.

All of your criticisms are kind of superficial and senseless: - type annotations + HTML in comments - it is called javadoc - 80 column limit - lowest common denominator for most people, also historically part of Sun code conventions for Jav

Article is a little misleading... you don't need "extensive modification" to use a Model F keyboard with a modern computer... the Model F AT keyboard can plug directly into a PS/2 port and be used as-is: https:/&#x

This feels like deja vu, except that I can remember that we've heard all this before. Still waiting since 2008 or so for Ruby and Rails to eat Java's lunch. I have no problem with Ruby or Node BTW, but let's be real.

Sorry, but this article is kind of full of assumptions and it has more storytelling than facts. Multiple times author says "I have no objective measure but one time I met a guy..." Perhaps the worst assumption is that we have a c

If you have these compiling with a modern toolchain, you may wish to ditch the python subprocess wrapper and compile them with something like emscripten (compile to javascript) or NestedVM (compile to JVM bytecode). Then you won't be
