Yeah, that's pretty amazing stuff! How come no one else is impressed with this? How well does it perform? Is it all it's cut out to be? Could this change the mobile web browsing game as we know it?

Did you notice that this compiler is linux only?
The reason why Intel compiled programs are so prevalent is because of Windows.
What a narrow argument. Let's see how it looks reversed.
Do you know what prisons are for? They're for punishment. If criminals don't have a roof over their head, they shouldn't have gotten convicted. If they don't get three meals, they shouldn't have gone to prison. If they don't have access to a fitness center, they should've hired better lawyers. Want to earn a degree? Stay out of prison! Books and computers? Should've thought of that before landing themselves in trouble.
Besides, public schools were never intended to educate.
The smartest person of that era would look like a total idiot today just trying to get by with what we take for granted -- driving a car, using a cell phone, browsing the internet, etc.
Yes, but I'm sure it wouldn't take them long to learn...
Remember Turing's Halting problem? Given a description of a program, figure out if it finishes or it runs forever? You can't provide a general solution, but you can provide a specific one.
Creationism is a falsifiable theory - it just takes a really long time.
One day, either we'll all be dead, or Jesus will return.
Where is the actual equation itself? I'd like to see the problems these kids are solving..
I have a pair of the 1tb spinpoint f3 samsungs, they've worked reliably and beautifully for me for the past several months now. they're relatively cheap, not too loud or hot, and they're fast.
Yes, please. Someone set up an effort, and a site, and some transparency/accountability, and let's do it!
And the United States, according to the beliefs of a large part of its constituents, is in the middle of its very own.
At least one of those was a man.
And the project an excuse to impress women with their apparent skill in awkwardly balancing, slowly scooting, and... badly jousting.
How much of the fear of death measured in this study has a basis in reality?
What I mean is, if someone has reason to fear death (because of circumstance, or illness, etc.) then they probably have bigger things to worry about than getting college degrees?
Can't wait for the movie adaptation. I heard they got a book in the works too???
I remember learning in school that West Africans would trade gold for salt, pound for pound, with people from Northern Africa and abroad because they didn't know how to make their own salt and they needed it to survive. It always made me wonder why they didn't just pay gold, even if it was an incredible amount, for the knowledge to secure their own salt. Producing salt wasn't all that difficult, if I remember correctly, the salt traders would just evaporate seawater in little holes in the ground and scrap up the leftovers.
And thats exactly what they want you to think...
I believe we shouldn't punish a person for being born poor. No one has a choice about who their parents would be.
But by that same token we shouldn't punish someone for being born rich either.
