I don't get the Fire phone at all. iPhone users are never going to switch to it. Can't see Android users switching either. I appreciate that they tried some new things such as Firefly (although that is apparently available on iOS/Android, as it should be), the gestures and some of the other UI differences. But the 3D stuff is lame and the overall aesthetic is dreadful.

The Kindle is apparently doing well and makes perfect sense.

And 2 of my new favorite gadgets are Fire TV (vocal search is the way to go) and Echo (very well done an a no-brainer at $99).

ps I got my Fire phone for $199 no-contract with free year of Prime ($99 net unlocked).
I don't dip into emacs often, but I do like that idea. I'm sure some vim ninjas have you-complete-me and such setups that handle basic language functionality, but I'm always too lazy to get it set up in a permanent manner.

Someday when I get sick of firing up python to quickly check that you append() to lists instead of push or add...
DataMapper isn't gaining traction, sadly. v1 is abandonware, v2 forked off to become a different project called ROM (which explicitly "isn't an ORM"). I still use DataMapper v1 because I find it a thousand times nicer than ActiveRecord, but it's a minority taste.
There is core.match[1], and between the restructuring bind, multimethods, and the ability to create polymorphic functions like hello in this example[2], you can replicate a lot of common FP idioms reasonably well. It's not pretty, but Clojure generally isn't.

I hope someone finds a way to completely break this. Otherwise, imagine when the censors get ahold of it. (If you're not convinced this is a bad thing, read "their traffic is policy-compliant" as "they aren't trying to visit any Web pages that acknowledge that the Tiananmen Square Massacre occurred", for example.)
> It's a viral mechanism to franchise selling the scheme. Anyone can buy in, promote the narrative, and get others to buy in.

This is a great definition of cryptocurrency. It nicely frames how they become pyramidal.
Failure to pay eventually sends you to prison one way or another when you live in a country with such a catastrophically broken social safety net.

The games Nintendo didn't want you to play? Tengen didn't want to subject themselves to Nintendo's rules and quality control, and decided instead to work around Nintendo's lockout chip. Nintendo isn't really at fault here.
Chickens will kill rats, which are attracted to their eggs, though to be fair I think only in cases when they have no other food. Otherwise why risk a fight with the mini dinosaurs.

Free eggs are nice but you'll have to clean after them, and they're pretty messy (probably not an issue when you only have like 5 hens).

You'll probably want to get rid of any roosters unless you want violence in the coop and eggs with some, uh, extra protein.
In order to keep the discussion meaningful, please don't use extreme numbers as typical examples. This just lowers the quality of conversation.

To the contrary, there is no evidence to suggest that China has had the spread necessary to kill 3 million people nor any evidence suggesting that they have covered up 3 million deaths.

You might naively think we have no way of checking, but this level of spread would be trivial to infer from antibody tests of people traveling to China. We have seen no indication of a deception anywhere near the scale you are suggesting.
