The government gives you money to go to school. You get a 3.0 and up, continue with free education until you get your associates degree. If you fail out the first semester the IRS should come down on you like Thor's hammer because you just wasted taxpayers money.

To create diversity, first create inequality.

I have taken apart a black endura pro and ... unless there's supposed to be a second steel plate to add weight, the entire keyboard is just a pair of metal plates with the membrane mechanism sandwiched between them. Don't have it handy so I can't tell if it is steel or aluminum.

What I'm saying is ... fn n m, and f (n, m) being different is good. You have more flexibility since automatic currying is available when sensible.

The author has worked on SML/NJ internals, has a strong background in type theory, and has written similarish software in the past. I'd say he was able to solve those problems. Those problems are not even particularly complicated to solve once you have an expressive type system.

It would have killed them, because (n) is a tuple of one element.

The current syntax has a few benefits. A big one is that you can write things like fun mul n m = n * m; fun double = mul 2; double 4 (* = 8 *);. Automagic currying is good.

As long as we don't have another Spock on speed dial moment we should be good!

Make all drugs legal for 1 month out of every year. That way Darwin comes in and filters through all the idiots who can't control themselves. By the end of the month everyone who practices personal responsibility and respect continue contributing to the normal human gene pool. It it's a hit expand it to 2-3 months a year.

Hopefully cardiac arrests don't start up again and people lose their life after the lose their weight.

We've gone from competition to participation in everything.

Cell phone towers will be replaced.

Cell phones will be replaced with WiFi.

Back at HOPE9, there was a really awesome presentation on semiconductor manufacturing. It's worth the entire 90 minutes and IMHO was the best part of the conference. I've ended up showing the video of it to a few folks now, and it never becomes less awesome.

Now look at how many people in the world have no access to reliable power, and think about what happens when they want it. It's unfair to tell them "sorry, but you and your children and their children unto the end of time get to live in a hut because you were born in an area without an established industrial base."
