As the sea level rises, its surface grows by the square. So, more and more water is needed for it to rise more. So, all linear predictions are flawed anyway. What do you think, the sea is suddenly going to rise by meters? Get a grip on real

I love how it's called Elementary OS but it's just a Ubuntu Linux with some sugars. I already got excited about another operating system but it's same old, same old.

And here I am looking down at my keyboard, which looks like this: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/81amtBk%2BvqL._SL1500_... And wondering what an E-Ink Keyboard is good for in the real world (this is a genui

It is ironic how Germany represses fascism that comes in the form of Nazism, but not fascism that comes from Islamic fundamentalism. A clear double standard.

Hahaha, I see what you did there. That kind of behaviour only works out for the political class that is above the law.

Just take all documents, move to China or Russia and build a ton of these. That'd make the US think twice about messing with inventors.

Why? Even a toddler can solve a number of difficult adaptive problems. Like walking or catching a ball. We tend to forget that what is difficult with machines, the body does with ease sometimes.

When I was 18 I did what I was told. Mostly, anyway. If my parents told me my future depended on taking a 250'000$ loan, I might have just done it, especially if they raised me in that belief.

Of course, the state incentivises this scam by giving massive loans to young people who cannot even comprehend what they're doing until it's too late.

Wow, that is super impressive! Done by a single person in in 3 months, back then... I need to be more productive.

The e-mails should have put her in prison, and they would have put anyone else in the same situation in prison. But you're right, with her being her, they're a complete nonissue. They simply don't matter at all.

That reminds me of my old comment about this https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12492856 I'm really not overly negative about new things but this was predictable.

Yes, and notation is key. If there is even just one symbol that the student can't understand, then the entire understanding of the paragraph, or even entire book, is at stake. However, I do think that examples and applications help a g

I would never request such explicit pictures from anyone but I would consider it a huge abuse of trust if I found out someone used wrong pictures claiming they're theirs, and that would be the end of that relationship.

Frankly, any photo or video on digital media is just a tiny little step away from being irreversibly published to the internet. People should never make photos or videos of that kind if they don't want it to be public.

I doubt that weed makes you 'far more cautious' and 'analytical'. Weed severely impairs judgement, motor control and short-term memory for the duration of the high. Look, Marijuana is okay, but let us not fantasise about

That's funny how that works in Norway. In Switzerland, if you ignore all the letters of conscription you get fines and after some years, you will be visited by two very kind policemen who put you in prison. Hmm, that is interesting. Wh

I'd love to be educated about this topic. I am always eager to learn new things and broaden my horizons. I don't shy away from complex, multifaceted subject matters. It's just that, to learn, I need facts. I need something ta

Norway does not have a compulsory conscription they only elect to enlist those who are motivated to do so and you can object without any legal repercussions. That is weird because a few years ago I had a friend from Norway and he was forc

Evidence or gtfo. What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. I presented my evidence in the form of official FBI statistics.

The only 2 western countries that still have conscription which are Norway (non compulsory conscription) and Israel treat men and women equally in this regard. Get your facts straight. Norway has compulsory conscription. So does Switzerla

Rape culture? In the west? Explain. Rape incidents have never been lower in America than in the last few years, as shown by fbi.gov and other governmental intitutes. And this despite many efforts of encouraging victims of rape to speak out.

The church in Ireland operated a system of forced labour detention for women considered "immoral" known as the Magdalene Laundries And men have conscription in 2016. The problem is that feminism is loudest where it's least

Way to compliment someone on their fantastic 300-hour project that they finished and present to the internet. Typical HN commentary. What this guy has done is a labour of love. I love it. Other people have done great WADs too... so what? Ev

a wave of molasses rushed through the streets at an estimated 35 miles per hour (56 kilometers per hour) Now, you wouldn't call that slow as molasses.

Haha, you sound like a fun person to be around. For some reason, I like trolls. In eliciting a reaction from me, they show me how I can improve by taking a step back and having a more stable mood that cannot easily be played with.

I am not sure why this is being downvoted. I think it's an interesting perspective. After all, it's in pretty much every internet user's and provider's interest to have a working internet.

Yeah. Until the Wikileaks twitter proves itself with a properly signed PGP message, I won't be trusting it anymore (but even then: If the twitter account has been compromised, maybe they also grabbed his PGP keys?). Also, I'm worr

I strongly doubt that liberty & equality (before law) lead to dictatorship. Unless you mean liberty that goes as far as harming others. But that would infringe on other people's liberty.

Are you seriously comparing stuff like neural nets and perceptron to human intelligence?
