Absolutely. Are you serious? Do you not learn anything from literature?

That isn't really the point, though, is it?

I have the same notions about such cases. Can anyone think of child prodigies that went on to do notable things? (not including the unabomber)

How is this relevant?

Not really sure how this made it on my HN frontpage. This is an oft-touted point of 'proof' for anti-vaccine folk. It's also, pretty flawed: https://lizditz.typepad.com/i_speak_of_dreams/2012/12&#x2F

Well, to be fair, and we're on course to veer right off topic -- a large majority of gun deaths are suicides.

Do you believe that bitcoin is useful as an actual currency? As far as I can tell, its only use is to buy drugs and other illegal things online.

Can I ask -- What was your line of thinking that led you to find this out? I'm the kind of guy who could probably figure out how to do this if it was, like, given to me as a task. But never in a million years would I just stumble acros

Are they squandering it by making such claims? How many people do you really think are going to read their claims, then read that their claims are not fully backed up, and then decide to boycott the company? Versus how many people read thei

Confusing indeed. Are they just trying to make it harder to buy the cheapest model? That's the only thing that makes sense to me.

What is bitpatreon? I can't find anything about it on google.

This whole 'article' feels a lot like an ad for various consumer products.

"Yourself"? I am quite sure you are not aware of the issue here. We're talking about binding, or forced arbitration. Often times, people are unaware that they are being forced into arbitration, and when they are, it severely

I'm really confused by a lot of what you said, but I agree with some of it. When you say that these appeals to reason and logic are generally to protect the right from our left-going politics, I agree somewhat. When the right use this

How do you find such an experienced therapist? What do you mean by "all our problems are basically psychological or spiritual"? Why do we have to slog through crackpottery for insight?

> virtualization isn't magical security juice you can sprinkle over stuff. In fact it increases your attack surface in a lot of ways. Any thoughts about qubes OS?

I want to move 13 times in 20 years. What jobs in the military let me do that?

I am not surprised at all. When they switched to this percent system, it was clear from then that they want to ensure that there's no chance you'll be turned away from watching something on account of some random human who doesn&#

I guess I'm not really talking about it from a business-centric perspective, but rather one of progress. This is where I feel the next step in mobile computing lies, given these advancements in mobile CPU. But you're right, perhap

by Finch2192 8y ago
Can someone explain to me why this matters? It feels like CPU advancements in recent memory have brought nothing at all. It used to be, in the early days of smartphones, every generation brought something very new, something that can truly

Well, to tell you the truth, I pulled that out of my ass. I have no idea if the Homepod is selling well. I am basing this on the fact that Apple allows employees a 50% discount, something they do not do for any other product other than the

by Finch2192 9y ago
It's pretty simple why people don't like it, and it's obvious why it's not selling well. The Homepod does not have an aux cord. The Homepod does not allow you to use its onboard bluetooth 5.0 hardware to play music from

Can't we do a little better? If this is 'So important' - why is it relegated to one small blog and why is it entirely up to us to mail this letter? Truthfully, I don't know what this 'high stakes' fight should

What are you doing? Are you seriously just spamming this service (presumably because you own/work for them) all over this thread in the hopes that you'll steal away the miniscule niche of this thread, within the miniscule niche of

This doesn't seem all that groundbreaking, it's just an instance of Zipf's law in action, is it not?
