I would go as far as to say that, to an autodidact, structured education is akin to Chinese water torture. A Steady, predictable flow of bland facts hammered into your skull, while you cannot change flow rate, the subject or the scope. Also

"Ok. What`s depressing -- what`s depressing jobs is that the world supply and demand for labor has changed. In other words, there`s a lot more people working as China came on and India came on and they are competitive. There`s a world suppl

"We are players in a game we don’t understand." We've had the opportunity to understand the game ever since Darwin published the Origin of Species. Yet, even Darwin himself struggled with the ramifications of what we truly are (and aren't)

Hero worship exists as a powerful evolutionary parasite, designed to extract submission from a competing male from within your tribe. If a member of your tribe is climbing the totem pole rapidly, you can either let him by or challenge him.

Unfortunately, the issue is not so simple. The the labor market is under assault from every front. Illegal immigration and offshoring depress skilled labor wages, while at the same time robotics and software progress to automate as many ski

Out of curiosity, why did you select your current mission statement instead of the the description you gave me? I like yours much better. Magic and sunshine are difficult to understand sometimes :) "Our goal is to help people qualitatively

Why do I suddenly get the sense that no amount of stimulus funding is going to solve the structural unemployment issue in the USA? We appear to have crossed the technology Rubicon, whereupon the ratio of jobs created to jobs destroyed by te

Thank you, that sounds very interesting. Would be interesting to see a compare and contrast between Amazon and Google. Almost antithetical cultures, yet both wildly successful companies.

Curious as to what Otelic (the author's company) does, as I could not decipher their mission statement [0]: "A company dedicated to bring full engagement and sunshine to individuals and companies using simple tricks and mathematical magic."

"religion is both wrong and harmful" This is akin to saying that human sexuality is wrong and harmful, or male competition is wrong and harmful. It is taking a purely evolutionary phenomenon and assigning it a nebulous moral value. Religiou

If Dawkins is aware of my points, his approach does not seem logical. The God Delusion approaches religion as a broken philosophy or a disease of the mind, not as an evolutionary phenomenon. He does not quote any of the plethora of papers w

I must preface this comment with a personal note: Dr. Dawkins is the reason I understand biology, evolution, and all living things. I have read all of his books on evolution, including The Selfish Gene, The Extended Phenotype, and many othe

If you actually have this ungodly power and wish to use it benevolently, please shoot me an invite. I'm dying to use G+. Thanks in advance!

I rarely comment on HN, but this is incredibly wise advice. To anyone who is graduating soon and being told by everyone to "find a job, any job" listen to this man's words VERY CAREFULLY. Parse each statement individually and then contempla

I believe he is referring to the exponential increase in computations per dollar which has been ongoing for almost half a century. Furthermore, he refers to the massive industries which have sprung from this growth in computation (personal

This is an extremely cogent article on the unemployment issue. It appears the US needs to seriously start considering the structural unemployment that results from accelerating efficiency gains brought on by technological progress. Although

Ramanujan[1] had smallpox as a child and died due to malnutrition at the age of 32. As much as we would love to believe otherwise, intelligence is a genetic trait much like athleticism. Unfortunately, the former statement is taboo in our PC

Tell me about it. Was on a date last Friday and couldn't resist checking it when my lady friend checked her phone for the time. I showed her what I was reading and she was floored. Her attitude became far more amiable since she believed I w
