Aww. The moment HN has to admit two things: firstly, computational power is merely a quantitative power, and secondly, they have no idea about the qualitative. Oh well. Enjoy obsolescence. Computers are not your future: your minds are. Deal

While this is a very obvious joke, that contains a lot of truth, you're throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Humans are functionally better than (current) computers at GO[1]. The reasons for this are your answer (and I might be ta

The question (and this applies to Wikipedia as well) is whose explanation are you reading ? I'd throw you a quotation about the Power of Language, but I'm sure you can imagine it already. This site marks the end of 19th / 20

It's called Manufactured Dissent . You got the air-play because the NSA etc needs to show it's all fluffy bunny and won't stifle white people's aggro. That's it. That's why the NSA read this forum, and poste

Total numbers, out of a nation of 320,000,000: Less than 10,000 (and that's being extremely generous). Since the "national organizers" raised ~$100k, has anyone asked them about being transparent? Hint: this is not how it get

And... this is the second thread where the "down vote" ability has been abused. A user (with enough "karma" to allow them multiple negative "down votes" has nuked my content, and not bothered to respond to any

antoko, sorry, I can't reply to you. The answer to that is, of course: that is why you'll fail, that is why they'll ignore you, and that is why this is all a joke. Thanks for making the point so clear. Might want to study h

This falls under exactly the same Laws that prevent a UK resident viewing Channel 4 content on YouTube. (Or, try asking a German why so much of YouTube is "dark" to them, specifically Corporately sponsored music channels). It has

Thank you for the answer: in developed / high culture markets (i.e. fashion, or targeting boutique++ markets) it's often hard to tell when someone is pushing an aesthetic trend (through prototype or catwalk) over a real product. I

Looking at the trends, I suspect Facebook will be the goat in the tech group cull that's being contemplated.[1] The reasons for thinking this are three-fold: a) Extremely poor share performance post-IPO (which has irked a lot of heavy-

Well, thank you for the hostile tone. a) I in no way critiqued Dennett - in fact, you'll notice that my last statement about how mind / consciousness is not separate to the body, or the world or the universe is explicitly his p

Please read what I wrote, and the links provided. I stated 1948-1954, and this is exactly correct: Louis A. Bowman [in 1948], an attorney from Illinois, was the first to initiate the addition of "under God" to the Pledge. The Nat

As a non-American responder, are you talking about the original pledge, or the 1948-1954 changes that added the words "under God" to it?[1] The original was formally adopted in 1942 by Congress, prior to this change: The original:
