I'm a bit older than most people here. I mention that because it may be relevant. I'm entirely unfamiliar with the work you mentioned. So, I'm going to use just your description of events and work with that. I'd say that

Latin and French were the languages of science for quite a while. Arabic before that and Greek before that. This is ignoring Eastern science intentionally. They searched for 'peer review.' I don't see any indication that they

Thank you. Would you know where I can look for more derailed info?

I try to be understanding and say that I don't know if all regulation is beneficial. I have no problem with regulations being changed to reflect new information. I don't feel qualified to opine about specific regulations but I am

I have pondered this and have decided what my standards are. I realize I don't have the authority to set those standards for everyone. GAI is, to me, when machine is able to be given a problem and then, without prompting, decides which

Yeah, 750,000 (or 70,000) really pales in comparison to the number of documented Mexicans in the US. In other words, this just reinforces my understanding that there is no great trend, that the stat is certainly true but woefully out of con

I don't doubt that it is true, I doubt that it is telling the whole story. Your links seem to indicate that I am right to be reserved in judgement. Undocumented workers going home or being forced to go home really isn't indicative

Prior to colonization, I'd expect there to be visits which do not result in permanent residency on Mars.

You may wish to check usernames. You're assigning a quote to them that they did not make, unless they have multiple accounts.

Yup. I was brought into this world almost sixty years ago and spent my youth moving around as the military commanded my father to do. As such, I got to see the horrible way we treated the planet and can remember the differences in both resu

That seems off. Do you have a citation? Is that counting only lawful immigration and how many of those where undocumented workers moving back and how many are counted that were legally forced to return to their country? It's actually n

Having read that, I almost wish I were doing something illegal so that I could enjoy such a cat and mouse game. Maybe there should be some sort of informal game, perhaps played with the major law enforcement agencies, with the goal being to

I'm not qualified to speculate how well those laws will stand up to a challenge as a 1st amendment issue. The SCOTUS tends to take a strong protective of the 1st view. My inexpert opinion would be that those laws would be ruled unconst

There wasn't much of anything to compare with. Traffic modeling 'on a computer' didn't have (m)any domain experts, nor programmers with domain knowledge. So, training was key and something I felt strongly about. I starte

The company was mine and had slightly less than 250 employees. It is probably a bit different than what people experience today. It was also started in the early 90s.

One from this thread is fairly close to what they described. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15427888 The not deserving of much sympathy really brings it home. After all, rural white hillbillies don't deserve symp

He was a DBA and rather antisocial. He wanted his office to be in what was also the wiring closet, which was a space very much away from everyone else, very small, and became his home away from home. As strange as it may sound, he was worth

Much of math's foundation isn't from the west. Even our numerals aren't from the west. They came from India by way of Arabia. Also, I'd probably pick a different source if I were expecting deep commentary about science o

Counteroffers aren't always just pay. I had one unusual employee who wanted a very specific, and unorthodox, space turned into his office. He got it, if you're curious.

My view has been prevent it in the first place. If my employee was seeking work elsewhere, then we have failed them. If you are unhappy then you should be in a work environment where you're able to address that successfully and in a ma

I've said it before, I'll say it again. Comments like that are why I like HN. I see there is some long reads associated with this subject. Once again, HN has sent me off into a subject I'd not have found on my own. That'

I'll try to do you one better. I use Maine Solar, out of Starks, Maine. They are over next to Harry's, which is where the weed festivals started and continue. Anyhow, I have to head down that way during the coming week. I will see

I am not keen on learning the ropes, but I understand that it is driven by a barter culture and that there are financial exchanges made but that a lot is simply traded. The illicit nature is probably one of the attractions. My understanding

A few weeks ago, and prompted by an HN post, I considered writing about the possibilities if ML as applied to large aggregate datum and with criminal investigation as the motivation. With all the public posts, writing style analytics, and u

I'm assuming pedophilia isn't profit motivated. I don't really know that, but it seems a good assumption. I'm also not even sure where to begin researching that.

I don't really remember search engines being charitable? My first exposure to the online search arena was human-powered, slow, and expensive. As in, you paid someone to scour the 'net for you and return the results to you. DMOZ is

Yeah, I'd even have to make a point to hide my learning. Only a specific subset of people would be asking how best to allow uploads while ensuring the IP address was masked via Tor. Added with other questions, it'd put me into a p

It's a book you can read every few years and get something more from it. Quinn's work is one of my favorites.

Ah, thanks. I don't really shop or compare prices, but just get what suits my needs. I've been happy with the results and costs, so I was unsure of where the scam was.
