I don't like it.
It includes a bunch of nonsense about pandering to people who are "offended". Claiming to be offended should not be a powerful weapon.

Agreed. But not pandering to the offended will get you burned at the stake for deviationism.
It is a sad commentary on our times that Freedom from Offense trumps Freedom of Speech.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

microsoft technologies go from bad to worse. Example yesterday I want to upload a rar file to onedrive a few times but I was got an error. Then I upload the file to google drive on my first try.
And If I want to develop a application for windows phone I can't develop it. Because my computer don't support win 8.1 emulator. It works only win 8.1 pro. This explain why win. phone market doesn't enough.
But android sdk is works every platform. And a lot of pc support android sdk.
I am coding c#. But now I want to learn java and google go. If I had free time I will learn java and google go. Because Google is leading to innovation of world.

Microsoft today is introducing a new application aimed at reducing the time it takes to check and respond to email while on your smartphone. I really thought they already had and email app (and instant messaging as well)

Hi Piebald,
Not only is "nurture over nature" for homo-saps being challenged in a great variety of scientific and academic disciplines ...
A future in which that assertion is going to be changed at an exponential speed because of what is going in genetic engineering, neuroscience, etc. is rushing towards us.
cheers, Bill

Tabula rasa; we have roughly the same brains, and it will be hard to prove that intelligence is determined by DNA.
..but then again, we are talking about Bloomberg, it just needs to be a headline that includes something sexy and the word "millions".

Quote: Underlying this is the plummeting cost of gene sequencing. It took $3 billion and 13 years, from 1990 to 2003, to sequence the first human genome. The cost today is as low as $1,000 a patient, making it viable to sequence large numbers of people and discover relationships between genes and symptoms.
And it will probably go even cheaper...

A truly frightening film. I hope that we are wise enough to avoid such a dystopia.

The PHP community has been buzzing about all the significant releases such as PHP 7, Symfony 3 and Drupal 8 in 2015. With improved userland application frameworks, better performance and lower memory usage PHP is about to be better than ever. Yet the world is changing and maybe PHP shouldn't try to keep up with the Joneses. You had me happy there for a moment
