It's not an option, it's fare price insurance. Essentially airlines have taken the 'insure everything' game that retailers found out was massively profitable years ago. Also they've taken to selling cheap trinkets, charging fees for everyth

The real benefit of artificial non-descript meat sausage will be ending overfishing? I'm assuming you mean when they come out with artificial fish meat, but I can't find any mention of that in the article.

There already are artificial flavors, even artificial meat flavors. McDonalds french fries are sprayed with it. The reason he wants to make this a burger isn't because they've made artificial cow, it's because the artificial meat has the co

It most certainly is. Vegetarian bacon, while good, does not taste like bacon. And bacon with all the fat removed does not taste like bacon. It may be good, but it's not bacon.

Don't worry, when costs go down there will be plenty of marketers giving it plenty of 'appetizing' names. Let the scientists stick to the science.

If they hadn't made this judgment, would there be anything stopping you or I from legally attaching GPS devices to government official's cars and recording their movements? They should overturn the ruling and make it fair game for anyone to

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic, but if not, why then would they regard their formula as such a secret that the only two people allowed to know it may not fly together in case the plane should go down? As a diversion form their busin

So coca-cola has a legal monopoly on the use of an ingredient. Seems like pretty unfair business practices to me.

Sure, I guess if you fundamentally misunderstand MVC but not in the real world. You don't have render your view on the server, using a js framework is perfectly fine in MVC. There are plenty of rails plugins to make this even easier and I w

Cheesy opinion piece by a dude who doesn't seem to have even read the legislation. Plus, why is it written in the 3rd person?

it's pointless to blame anyone else but ourselves, the web development community I disagree. To me this is a complete failure of the W3C do do 3 things: - Come up with a solid plan for the deprecation of vendor specific tags. - Convince b

I think the doom and gloom is a bit over-hyped, and the other browser authors probably have no choice but to implement the webkit prefixes. They just don't have the install numbers to do otherwise. I don't like the situation but I see it as

Yay, loosening regulations on wall street. Lets let startups without enough financial knowledge and market power to create a real IPO jump into being publicly traded. I see this going really well.

The only real lesson in Moneyball is do what you love and don't let others tell you not to. What I find most interesting about the story is the different effect it has on people. Business types see it as "Take a great risk and it'll pay off

Mmm, I think this really highlights the issue that facebook is not a public space. It's private. You can campaign all you want but this isn't womens lib. This is a private business that has their own rules. You want real freedom of expressi

The title of the post is "A Solution to CPU-intensive Tasks in IO Loops" There's no reason to make up a more inflammatory one. It only serves to guarantee a less productive discussion.

For me, a huge justification for piracy: archives. Not just you, but also the US supreme court. If you already own a copy of that movie on any format it's legal to have 1 digital backup and you can acquire that backup by downloading it. W

Sure, that all sounds great. I'm not trying to say you made a bad decision. You're original comment, though, came off as overly forceful, and a mild-bit condescending to the erlang community for no apparent reason and I decided to put my 2

Plus all the hype just makes programming better. More eyes, more research, more usage, more knowledge, more code-as-art projects. I don't use node, but I'm envious of the people who have all that time to play around with it. Is it the best

It's been going on since at least news papers. Go to the grocery-store and take a look at the magazines in the checkout isle. Humans love to watch unfold what they think is a controversy. It's entertainment.

For no reason other than it would be a fine alternative. I'm sure your Node solution is performant and simple, and you should stick with that but no doubt a simple server written in ruby or haskell or python or anything really would get the
