When you have that many books it's a pain to find one if they aren't organised in some fashion.

To clarify, 'vacuous' was describing the way these people are portrayed, rather than how I think about them. Additionally, there are so many similar replies, I can't be bothered replying to them all.

[from the comments] whenever I tried to explain anything technical to her, her eyes would cross and the she’d get impatient, flustered, and frustrated. I keep hearing this bullshit, both on HN and on other news sites. Do you really choose

Interesting article, but the lack of subtlety in some parts made me cringe, e.g: "wanta be partners?".

You can tell he's read Taleb's work with a chip on his shoulder (as many have). Did it occur to you that Taleb's frequently inflammatory tone might have something to do with this?

Good ideas, it seems, need to be repeated. Absolutely not. Ideas that are diffuse and unoriginal, on the other hand, are often repeated because they are uncompelling. I've read The Black Swan , and although it was entertaining, I didn't

Just out of interest, how would you justify the $4.99 price tag? It seems unusually high.

Even without that, DHT would help.

Hubris. Programming is partly a creative pursuit. Thus, it helps if one enjoys using the tool you need for the job.

I say this not only because of the new focus and exposure controls that can elevate my pictures from snapshots to photographs Yeah, who needs a good lense?

This is completely untrue and it's rather surprising that Wired perpetuates this nonsense (whether tongue in cheek or not).

All else being equal. All things being equal would defeat your argument.

There's no way I'd keep that much data on something that easy to lose / have stolen.

Pure coincidence. I often look for definitions as a way of remembering certain keywords in text (sort of like taking mental notes). The submission on reddit now has over 1200 upvotes which is crazy: it isn't that funny. Not to flog a dead

They might throw you the odd CAPTCHA but apart from that I doubt they'd do anything.

I submitted this to reddit as opposed to HN thinking it was too low-brow / off-topic for here. I suppose I was wrong!

Imperial College or Cambridge University. Both have excellent CS departments and lots of interesting research going on. And if you end up going to Imperial, I'll see you in October!

They are having lots of trouble selling ad space in various territories. Though I agree that the article should have mentioned it.

If it was a simple algorithm, yes. I believe you have missed the humour, so let me make this clear: I have absolutely no interest in your passwords.

I would never try and second guess somebody who describes himself as "Devil's Advocate Extraordinaire."

Yes, I'm sure he does that in his head.

This will be considered off-topic, but I'll say it anyway: I really like the design of that site.

by katamole 18y ago
Sounds like if I were targeting your accounts specifically, I'd have a pretty easy time of it. As soon as I get hold of one or two of your passwords I can work out the algorithm and then start calculating your passwords myself. While it mig

I've found http://browsershots.org/ to be useful for that. Of course, you can't actually use the site through it.
