OK. Sure. Downvote away. And this will keep happening. Grats on that. Keep fighting with reality, let's see how that goes.

Teenager in the US at the same time. Yep, this is exactly what we did with our 8-bit machines and modems at the time. We were global even then. EDIT- LOL. I guess the HN downvoters have proof this isn't what we were doing back then???

Start firing people for screwing up and their peers will learn not to screw up.

Here's what I consider a balanced response- prosecute him for some kind of hacking crime, and at the same time fire the system administrators for gross incompetence.

I wonder if the same applies to say... Google. That they're kept afloat by less than 1% of their users.

Well, no. You stated it was list of films someone enjoyed. But that's not what it is. It's a list that one of the top living film directors on the planet thinks that directing students at one of the leading film schools in the wor

Better received by who? For film students, the films themselves are the information needed.

Not really. If these movies don't stimulate your directorial imagination, a few words aren't going to help.

I'd counter that if you watch the films on this list and don't understand why Lee included them, you're not likely to be a good film director.

No French cinema? Breathless is on there, as well as 400 Blows and Day For Night.

Lee picked it because it's exceptionally good cinema.

They certainly would have understood corporate legal status, and done so much better than nearly everyone who comments on it today. And honestly I don't think it would take most of them very long to grasp the implications of mobile pho

"I'm talking about the period between its invention and the development of cinema." Right. Which should absolutely scream to an entrepreneurial crowd there's an immense opportunity here to develop the VR version of cin

I'm much more interested in an AI that optimizes audience stats than one that optimizes in-game stats.

Vaguely related is the Salton Sea in southern California. It's been a large lake in the geological past, but it most recently filled in due to some bad irrigation planning in 1905. It filled up in about 2 years.

I'm a little skeptical about the pepper spray accusations myself, but there's no question that a Google security guard harrassed and attempted to intimidate the people making that documentary short film while on a public sidewalk.

This recent debate has quite literally centered on his administration using the San Bernardino shootings as leverage to force Apple to break iPhone's encryption. It's the main reason this whole discussion has the profile level it

A 10 year old Toshiba running Windows Vista. It runs everything I need it to run, and I have mac and linux desktop machines, so I feel no need to buy a new one.

Except this time technology is evolving in a general way, to take over all jobs, not just specialized tasks. It's not the same thing happening this time.

That's pretty much how I see it. It's something that simply must happen, there's not a lot of choice about it. Better to figure it out now than be forced into it later.

But it wasn't when it started. Which is the point.

That's a good point. Don't YC companies get some crazy amount of AWS credit?

There was a fair amount of resistance to society changing the internet from that crowd in the 90s. They've turned out to have been pretty much right, they just lost the fight.

"Hillary and Trump have received the lion's share of attention in media, social media, and such. Google searches SHOULD show them prominently." I'm not sure I agree with this. An alternative is easy to conceive, that all

That last is very interesting. What do immersive game designers do as artists in residence? Has anyone written anything covering those stories?

The examples in the screenshot look like the kind of functionality you get from OK Google, only with having to type rather than speak.

It's been my whole career. Yeah, I've had to go in and do the grip'n'grin interview and talk to people for a couple hours to make sure I'm not a martian or something. But every job has always come about because some

It's my belief that the best experienced programmers don't have to go through programming interviews. Even if you don't actively make an effort to network, you have a network of people who know you're good enough to outr

Honestly, I think I'm a little different from your average HN'er on this. And from dang as well. I don't care if you're "rude", I just care if you're right. I just don't place that high a value on civ
