But you shouldn't have to do that! The thing just has a bad design that they can fix by letting people elect to ignore all requests. Then you wouldn't need to do any work! edit: I'm down-voted for arguing against a recommendation to do t

If you want to know more of Penrose's arguments for Orchestrated Reduction: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orch-OR I've always been a fan of his books and I'm sure others here have read his works too.

It's just that writing a compiler requires such a large up front amount of knowledge of how computers work, and teaches you so much more, that it's hard to compare to any other project where you can learn exactly what is happening in a comp

Yeah it would be a lot better if on your friends profiles it would only show those the apps that they have installed that you also have installed. At least that way those pirate/ninja/etc. people can stick together and worry about which zo

It's always a small group of people in my friends list who think it is a great idea to spam everyone they know with this crap. There really should be a setting to ignore all application requests.

The article seems to suggest that there was no preference one way or the other previously, but that larger groups still up-voted stories together, which influenced the diversity of the site towards them more than was wanted by everyone. For

True, but the article is not focusing on information to correct mistaken ideas, but on the rise of a terrible fad among teens in several small communities. The article tells how some kids think it is 'cool', that those who have followed re

The article's mention towards further research on if the drop in people over 40's innovation confidence is due to exhaustion or wisdom is cool, but I'm more interested in if those differences will extend over time or will, as more people wh

Quantum bomb testing is pretty cool. Considering you can become arbitrarily close to probability 1 of detecting which are bombs, this is really cool. The link at the bottom of the page also explored other areas at the end of their essay,

Would no one else be worried of the potential for bad VC's to abuse fresh startups and their probable inexperienced founders that apply to YC? I mean, not every one here knows how to handle investors, I'm guessing there are a lot of fresh

I've heard discussions of why local news papers do not report teen suicides as suicides in obituaries for precisely the reason of copy cat effects in the community. I'm have not read 'The Tipping Point' but surely it makes similar arguments

My grandfather can't understand how his DVD player has more than one disc. He just doesn't have any the technical ability nor does he really care about anything but how to get email. I've tried multiple operating systems and instructed hi

I prefer to use jEdit when I'm working on a project that I move between several different machines to work on - if I know I'll be developing on a mac, linux, and windows machine it's good to keep some sense of organization the same inside t

Well, it looks nice to me. While the service sounds good, I'm not sure I'd use it. I still use a lot of the surrounding features of the social sites when checking updates - it's usually done such that I can quickly respond to something an

I already submitted my application before I finished my prototype, which I now have to get done before the deadline. I'm trying to use this as really strong motivation to just finish the prototype instead of waiting until feature creep, p

The guy made a million dollars. You know, I had an idea like that once. A long time ago. It was a "Jump to Conclusions" mat. You see, it would be this mat that you would put on the floor, and it would have different conclusions written on i

I was very much hoping for the response to be a more active user base. At least then the community would still be some-what close to providing the wanted dialogue, as most users have been here for a few months already and there is some sor

Ugh, I'm near the Pittsburgh area and I certainly agree - it's not the best place for entrepreneurs. It's like the whole area is a "danger zone stay out" for investment money. Why is this? There are plenty of good Universities in the area

That's not what Arrington is doing at all! Why, he's helping the little guy! Those startups that didn't make it obviously needed help with running their startups, and here he is - helping them by giving them the opportunity to learn a val

I was trying to spark conversation along a different line of dialog, but maybe I have been misunderstood. Yes, this new ad system is a great idea - instant feedback and better, more specific targeting for individual websites and viewers,

Yes, a reasonable person would be glad to have such feedback, but I was more curious of the Marketing Management reaction who would look at their ad click-through's and notice that they aren't that high for a service they just paid money fo

Oh snap! I went to some random PG essay to see which ad agency PG would put up and was immediately disappointed to see an ad for Mortgages, which was entirely off-base for the page, but then an up/down mod appeared! What?! That was aweso
