And ultimately, remember that the biography is just one person's version of the story of another human being. You don't necessarily know what was left out, or left in.

I always have a question about this stuff: when the robots take all of our jobs (or the jobs of a critical mass of the human population), who is going to buy all this stuff the robots make if the humans who are supposed to buy the stuff are

You and me are thinking similar thoughts. Something else I want to do, you see how people build public libraries and community libraries? I want to build public and community laboratories. Chemistry, physics, biology labs that any random ki

Lately, HN down-votes seem to me have a very "boo boy" thing about them. There's nothing in the original comment that would warrant a down-vote.

It seems to me like the biggest things are impossible to see with a "normal" outlook. It's as if you either can't see the big thing, or you see it in a fantasy world, a fiction of some kind (science or otherwise). Take c

>Some of the dark races were described as deceived more than evil. I would argue the larger point still stands if the light skinned races aren't depicted as falling for similar deception, because a tendency to fall for deception is

This comment reminds me of high school physics, when we were learning about interference and those double slit experiments. The teacher would give different scenarios and ask us to predict what patterns would be observed. In one, the patter

Is "auto" in autopilot short for automatic or automobile? It's just occurred to me it could be either if you want to be strict or pedantic. I automatically assume it's short for automatic pilot, which most people would a

Instead of being indignant that we can be "mentored" by a person half our age, let's rephrase the question and ask, "What could I possibly LEARN from a person half my age?" Well, almost everything. Your typical gran

I find this interesting because I've ever thought of it conceptually, the idea of a scanner that instantly scans closed books (instantly because one pulse of whatever EM wave you're using suffices). I thought about it after readin

I can't find the link now, but I remember reading an article stating there are three levels to this thing. One, the obviously visible and known features, such that metallic strip many notes have. Know to both the users and would be cou

I would argue advancement ultimately begets happiness, eg, you cure cancer, you save lives, which makes those lives, and the lives that love them, happy. If the advancement does not serve a purpose that brings happiness, what's the poi

I hadn't thought of that to be honest, and I've never used one either, but from review videos, it seems that the phone detects when you pull the S pen out, so I'd guess there's some kind of connection.

The Galaxy Note 7's S pen is considerably bigger than a head phone jack, yet the phone is water proof even with the pen removed from it's slot, so my guess is that can't be it. Assuming, of course, that anything Samsung can d

Hmm, could there be something in the analytics that could be used to claim, in aggregate as opposed to you personally, that the ads influenced your buying decision, hence demanding a higher price, perhaps for future ads? Coz it doesn't

The worst ads are the ones that advertise the very thing I've recently browsed. Say I browse some shoes (not google them, browse the site selling the shoes), that's when I start seeing tons of ads for that very site. What's t

I'm curious if this has to do with their generally broken English, as I read on what I think was their blog post. Does English proficiency affect coding "fluency", seeing as you are coding in English?

I don't know how these things work, but I'd have thought showcasing your prior work goes a long way in determining if someone wants to hire you. A bit similar to how, if I wanted you to create an ad campaign for my product, I&#x27

The fact that there are others who have it much worse than you does not invalidate your grievances or limit the language you can use to speak to those grievances. If we start that kind of comparison, then I'd argue the people you descr

So what was that thing about wanting to add artificial noise to electric cars for safety reasons because you normally can't hear them coming? Was that just bogus stuff from someone?
