Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

$9.99?
While you can simply update your host-file for free and enjoy the same?
How is that a "service"? Where is the added value? That is not a product, it is a rip off.

On October 17th, F# Gotham gathered experts who presented different aspects of the language and tooling such as asynchronous programming, computation expressions, optimization, FParsec and Xamarin.Forms. To one day be known as G-flat

I wasted spent time to learn F# some 5 years ago and couldn't find a single opportunity to use it in practice. Microsoft should just pull the plug and remove it from Visual Studio, IMHO.

“Roads? Where we’re going, we don’t need roads,” Dr. Emmett Brown famously said in the hit movie “Back to the Future.” Doc was wrong about that, though. Today you still need roads, but perhaps what we don’t need are drivers.
Today is Back to the Future Day, the day on which Marty McFly and Doc Brown travel to the future in the sequel to the original film. To honor the movie and the date, Stanford engineers have built a self-driving, electric, drifting DeLorean. In honor of Oct 21, 2015. Drivers? Where we're going we don't need drivers.

In what at first glance seems an unlikely pairing, Microsoft is bringing Google's open-source Go language into its Azure cloud. Two things I'm unlikely to use - in one convenient location

Now Azure will Go much better, I'm sure...

I'm hearing a lot of good things about the Go language with a huge growth in popularity recently. It must be doing something right.

It's mostly popular with people that have worked with dynamic languages such as Python but want better performance. Easy to learn and has support from Google, but in general it is a pretty backward language that encourages copy-paste code reuse.

Apple Inc told a U.S. judge that accessing data stored on a locked iPhone would be "impossible" with devices using its latest operating system, but the company has the "technical ability" to help law enforcement unlock older phones. News from 10 minutes from now: Apple phones unlocked by 15-year old in Mongolia.

Bloomberg, October 21 Maris: “If we each keep our genetic information secret, then we’re all going to die.”[^].
"But Maris dismissed privacy concerns surrounding the prospect of genomic data becoming public. “What are you worried about?” he said at a Wall Street Journal technology conference in Laguna Beach, Calif., on Tuesday. “Your genome isn’t really secret.”
Fast-forward to 2050: those who are too poor to afford bio-firewalls (which, at that time, will be 90% of the world's population) will be turned into living billboards for major consumer products by ads that appear on the skin as a result of the release of genetically-engineered viruses that trigger dermatographic urticaria.

How did we ever evolve without sharing our genome?
..and yes, when someone makes a statement like that, you should worry: it is more a threat than an argument.
