You did that to sound smart, and refused to concede when actual domain experts showed up to slap you down.
I worked on a ballistic missile tracking software that would calculate areas of uncertainty given coverage of various defense mechanisms.
It very much involved rocket scientists from JPL.
You are wrong in every measurable sense of the word.
- pc86 5y agoTwo unrelated things: 1. If HN had a friend system/social graph, you'd have a pending request from me based on this comment alone. 2. Fantastic domain name in your profile.
- imwillofficial 5y agoThanks Shoot me an email to keep in touch
- IgorPartola 5y ago> You did that to sound smart, and refused to concede when actual domain experts showed up to slap you down Sounds like I lost the asshole measuring contest :)
- imwillofficial 5y agoHN has a vast amount of random talent. If you’re going to speak with authority, you’d better know you’re right! And if somebody comes in and upgrades your knowledge, be cool about it. They just did you a favor.
- IgorPartola 5y agoThank you so much and I am so sorry for what I did. I didn’t realize there were domain experts on HN. That’s amazing and I can’t believe I spoke on this subject without first checking if I was the smartest person in the room. What you added to the discussion is invaluable. You are a saint.
