Dementia is a bug in the program. The program is powerful, and the bug is a small change that makes it powerfully wrong. It is amazing that someone could drink that much water, without a restroom bream or just not feeling thirsty anymore. B

Right. It is rather easy for someone with a CS eduction to earn ~$40k a year and spend most of the year in freedom. Just get a contracting/freelance gig. The hard person is getting $100k or $200k or more and still having freedom.

Oleg Kisleyov is amazing at this. He works for NOAA or something and is a leading PL researcher in what I believe is not his main job. Also, Satoshi :-) and Bram Cohen...

Thank you for knocking down the Gödel canard. People who say humans are not similar able have a vague faith that humans are far smarter than they really are. The existence of "Uhprovably true statements" is less of a weakness in logic's abi

The great personal insight is when one finally discards prejudice and bigotry and realizes that a thermostat is intelligent, and that a neuron is a "molecule" of intelligence.

Advanced for students, like "advanced algebra". Not for professionals. But great to teach this before kids start jobs.

Why video games, and not programming in general? Useful work is actively discouraged? Heck, there are tons of scouting-relevant apps one could make, around trip planning, navigation, information+-cataloging..

You are just wrong. Compare Headline News -- a constant loopy stream of Headlines to CNN. Don't blame CNN because you are bored so they tell you more stuff. Don't blame HN do being repetitive. Change the channel if you don't need the infom

Why do the police--the people getting shot at, want a spectacle?

WTF do you think the purpose of the National Guard is? A weekend exercise program?

You assume without evidence that this act was a cry for attention, and not the more obvious attempt to hurt people.

It tells them that if they pull a stunt like this in Boston, half a million people will cooperate to catch them and they won't escape. Good.

Of course he doesn't. Facts interfere with nerdrage.

Congratulations that you are capable of handling a threat profile (mass shooting event) that is completely different from what actually happened in DC. Lucky for the rest of us, the police in Boston are capable of handling a wider array of

This a viewpoint that needs more echo's. Every libertarian gun fan is just jealous that the cops got to use the big toys this week. In their fantasies, the bomber would have been in their boat, and they could have shot him themselves, and t

Hi, Mr Troll. This kid shot a college security guard to death, so the armor came out so he wouldn't kill 20 more. I didn't see you volunteering to chase him down in your tshirt and shorts. Considering that you do your police work from tour

Well maybe it's advisable not repeat Twitter rumors on HN as foundation for your analysis. That's just contributing to misinformation that hinders the police ability to safely handle mass casualty situations.

You can do things like deposit a physical incarnation of the stuff somewhere, or several locations, locked in a series of locks, and exchange geo coordinates and keys in a series of trades
