See, that kind of comments don't contribute anything to the conversation. All you're doing is portraying yourself as a victim and hijacking the issue back into the bullshit "are we too pc" debate again, which quite frank

So your friend can't get a job because... there are immigrants who are collecting more in welfare than doctors? Is that how welfare works now? You've somehow managed to put the phrase "they're stealing both our jobs AND

Can people rename this to something that makes sense? Seeing a post on the front page saying "A brief update" is so vague. An update by whom? About what? There's literally not enough information to gauge whether or not I shou

That is one region of the world that I do not know much about. Would you have any links about the history that led to the current state of the affairs that you've described?

Thank you for your insights, this has been useful! (I was actually hoping to ask this to a linguist for some time now, so I was happy when I saw your message!) You surmised my current situation well, I've been focusing a lot on the 5 c

Why do you think that sharing buttons are crap?

What? Where do all of these conjectures come from? Is there any evidence?

Do you agree with Searle's classification of speech acts into five different types? Or would you use a different way to classify them?

That is such a messed up and privileged attitude. "Homelessness isn't a problem, you just need some seeds. Ergo if the homeless are starving they must be too lazy or maybe they spend all their money on drugs so they can't eve

I'm surprised by people saying "well how could AirBNB end racism?!" It's not like they have access to all the data from who the hosts accept and reject and the profile pictures of each.

I know right. It was obvious from the start that he's full of shit, how are people still arguing about this?

I like your analysis, thanks. > We may never reach the stage of Strong AI because it turns out that what we actually do is not intelligent enough to require Strong AI. That's interesting. If we find a rigorous enough definition of &

Very wisely said. People in AI try to replicate the "power of the human brain" when there are billions of "human brains" that are surviving at a subsistence level or working in mind-numbing menial tasks. I can't und

Well said. +1 for mentioning Aubrey.

I wasn't sure what to make of riprowan's above accusation that /r/bitcoin has become a toxic environment, but you've pretty much confirmed it. Sorry for your loss.

Does anyone have data for how many companies from the previous batches have survived so far and what their valuation is?

by tangled_zans 11y ago
Nice! You got a link?

Wow, thanks for sharing! I did look at CoreNLP before and the fact that it's in Java has put me off, so this will be useful :)

Heh heh, I see what you did there ;)

Thanks for the compliment! Yeah, I did not intend for my "this was funny" comment in a negative light, it was a genuinely fun thing to read. I often wish that more people came up to me with proposal of developing domain specific f

Yeah I did not think that me and rustynails really disagree on much either!

Yeah that's very interesting, we should defo chat more! I'll send you an e-mail after work.

by tangled_zans 11y ago
Oh! Sorry, I didn't mean to misunderstand. The reason I found it funny was because it reminded me of something a close friend would say, because that's exactly the sort of thing that I'm into. I'm totally with you on the

Yeah, I actually like that a lot. I was thinking of something along the same lines. Do you think it would be cool if there was a way for people to choose which lists to post their tweets to? Like, I follow some people who do research on typ

Hey! I was replying to your comment on my other thread and then it disappeared :P You sound like you're going through a lot of the same stuff that I am. I'm 27 also and my mind is a maze of incomprehensible things. Let me know if
