I'm not sure the Anthropic principle can be applied here. There is a broader data set than that which is relevant for that principle, based on my understanding. "Against all odds" would seem to be the key words here. There ar

Just to throw in an additional perspective of what I find fascinating about this topic. I don't think that all long lasting things are particularly interesting. Rocks have been around longer than the Jewish people but we don't cel

> Science isn't free. Also, how on earth does one go about such an experiment humanely and in a financially prudent manner? I think it is outside the scope of this paper. But that is part of the thing that struck me as being so biza

Certainly a possibility. I totally agree with you that is seems downright ludicrous to think that a spell will cause bullets to bounce off of someone. We have to take the author at their word that such is actually the belief of those using

This paper leaves me feeling uncomfortable. There are so many problems with it on so many levels and, yet, I think it is fascinating in the sense that it is applying a well known concept to a novel context. Personally, I have a hard time se

Lighten the mood and then talk to the universe/world (whatever you want to call the something that we are all a part of). I know. I know. That might sound weird and all. But, it is the only thing that helps me. I grew up a very calm pe

There seems to be a basic problem in this argument: a lack of definition of distraction or any discussion of its value. For example, lets assume the consciousness is an illusion, a sort of biological trick of evolution. In that case, I&#x27

Honestly, this wasn't calling you out at all. I think it is great. It is a very well done presentation. You did a good enough job that it made me interested in the product.

Nice good catch! I totally think this was all staged. I would love to think that they've made some huge innovation in OCR. In any case, it is a good example of an MVP.

Great MVP pitch! After signing up for the Beta, it hit me. Every single bit of this could have been staged without having done any coding at all!! Brilliant!! I'm not sure if that is actually the case, but theoretically it is totally p

Interesting article from an opinion point of view but I find very little real substance behind his arguments. He is fight the original myth with his own myth except that his myth is founded upon his own assumptions and intuitions as opposed

Interesting. I'm not entirely sure that "optimal" has an agreed upon definition. At best, "optimal" is relative to the system within which it is being applied. "Optimal" in a Trump world is very different

So true! 50 years ago they were using concepts from early computing to describe how the human brain works. With each new wave of advances in computing, there is a new set of analogies that philosophers and neuroscientists adopt to say: &quo

How is it that everyone (82% Nationally) seems to agree that the most critical step forward (Funding Research in Renewable Energy) is a good thing BUT we spend all of our time arguing about whether or not global warming is happening?? This

Of course, the irony is that Trump, an ardent capitalist and pursuer of wealth, ran on a platform of decreasing the influence of money in politics. According to his 100 day plan, he is going to put a number of serious barriers on lobbying.

I would have to disagree with the other responses to this question. However, I cannot disagree completely. Learning Erlang/Elixir is a subject full of nuance. Learning the procedural aspects of Erlang or Elixir is very easy. In that se

Interestingly enough, this was built with Angular 1. Also, after doing a couple of searches, it is clear that this is a treasure trove of interesting articles that never made it to the front-page of HN. If I was simply "surfing" f
