   Well, you'd use different scales for those domains. If you thinking about crop failure, floods, macroeconomics, population trends, etc, 99% is fine for certainty. Do you agree?

   I definitely used to be a hardcore finisher. It's a really difficult habit to break, as it feels like personal failure, and violation if principle. My wife was also, and independently a book finisher. I don't recall the realisat

   I agree, but suspect it's also not true. I couldn't check Wayback machine for 10 years ago, but Reddit 2002 is not as good or like HN.

   I still have my ZX81. I fondly remember writing BASIC code in a notebook, on a bus, on the way to school.

   Dead by 30, is mistake. The high infant mortality contributes to a low average age of death. Steven Pinker goes into a lot more detail in his recent book Enlightenment Now.

   It would be interesting to learn how many jobs could be replaced with this type of service.

   I can relate. I have taught myself to judge the impact of the StayAndPlay behavioral, and if necessary Alt-F4, walk away. Getting the shopping out of the car when my wife gets back is not more important, but not helping my wife is perceiv

   I assumed Code Versioning so that if you have robust data segmentation you have less uncertainty about the impact of change. However, I'm a tourist here and hope OP comes back to share.

    Going back farther, it would be easy to feel nostalgic about the BBS scene. There were less people and it had a higher barrier for entry, so better signal/noise. Now there's everyone and it's easy to participate, and the nois

    I expect the rationale is that once governments have total access to phones, criminals will stop using them, and governments will still have the access.

    So true, I can ask Google a range of verbal questions and get great answers, mostly what-is-the-fact questions. At work we are nowhere near asking an intranet "show me the last pentesting report for Tony's new website" or &qu

    Interesting discussion, thank you. I am reminded of the Graffiti handwriting notation used by Palm OS. That was single stroke, and devices came with a card depicting all the characters. I was never able to become fluent. https:/&#x2F

    I read the article and while the marking was not interesting to me, the passion and persistence of the author was quite heartening.

    I still have my ZX81. My dad bought it for the family when I was 11. It was to me the most anazing and fascinating thing. It absorbed my attention completely. I remember handwriting code on the bus to school.

    Spider is still a spider. Fascinating to think that web was created by a spiders body (an amazing process) and lasted so long. How short and fleeting a day is.
