  1. Amazing use of factors by Alotau · · Score: 4, Funny
    For those of you who missed TFA, here is a juicy tidbit:

    Teig estimates that the footprint of a Tabula chip is less than a third of an equivalent FPGA, making it five times cheaper to make, while providing more than double the density of logic and roughly four times the performance.

    That is 6X more impressive than any other use of factors in a sentence... ever.
