Panhandle Lake is NOT the most remote place in the Boundary Waters. Not by any stretch. A clay foot algorithm. I’ve had 100 square miles alone to myself in the BWCA for days/weeks and know the park well. Since the BWCA is adjacent to

The sprinkling of intellectual “philosophy articles” in Hacker News have been of outstanding quality.

Yes, I believe you catch the gist of it. It’s a calculation which proves there is indeed a complexity point whereby quantum computing will exceed classical computing ... by proving mathematically that adding enough qubits will suffice that.

Albert - Ignore the naysayers and keep writing your book and ideas. I have followed your writing for years, and share many of your hunches. As did Aaron Schwartz. It's a bold attempt at a future worth working on. Abundance is indeed

Each time the Cruise starts from a stop light, it's too slow. Every time ... cars pass it, and dive into its lane (a typical reaction to slow moving vehicles). Still, nice accomplishment.

Regreyably, Chiyonofuji - the dominate Yokozuna of the 1990's decade (a lightwieght, strong, judo-esque wrestler and a sublime Japanese gentleman) is not included in the article.

It's actually worse than described in this article. XiJinPing is beyond ruthless, law is meaningless. Even this under-describes the reality.

An exceptional well-written article ... about pure intellectualism.

Four things that actually help - 1) a shower before sleeping. 2) stop using iPad/iPhone and TV two hours before sleep. (I also use orange light bulbs which don't emit blue light near bedtime.) 3) begin sleep and wake up at regula

Lawrence Lessig (@Lessig) has yet to comment on Twitter - he clerked under Scalia. Lessig also clerked under Richard Posner, considered by many to be the top legal theorist in America.

In 1992, I saw Scalia in person preside over a three-judge panel (including two other federal district judges) at Harvard - at the Ames Moot Court, the famous moot (fake) court for the very best two teams of third-year law students. He did

My account has various drag-coefficients on it - which "dang" can see ... all of which hamstring my ability to participate (anywhere near) equally on HN.

Dang, the commenter you are fighting with is right. I had my account hell banned by posting "too many articles about Snowden/NSA". PG even modified the HN code to automatically friction-drag (partially flag) articles of such

Le Keqiang is not "some apparatchik" - he's the #2 leader in all of China, and a superlative scientist.

In the early days a joke circulated around Beijing in "China hand" circles as follows: What's the difference between a Hong Kong Chinese and a mainland Chinese? The Hong Kong Chinese knows the difference between 1/100th

"sharetea" has the right idea. I've studied China for 29 years, speak/read Chinese and Japanese well, and have lived there long stretches. All his statistics are correct. Most importantly is the capital flight - of both

The baby carrot is a bacteria nightmare, as are sliced apples. Removing the skin that early is inimical to your stomach's pro-bacterial flora and bad to the entire digestive tract - even if you can disguise the decay with a spray whic

Well written. I first passed thru ShenZhen in 1985, when it indeed was a sleepy fishing village of 10,000 people. At that time I continued on to attend 北京大学 (Beijing University), living in 中关村 (ZhongGuanCun), where many high-tech HQ's
