Related to the CS science vs engineering discussion: There is one movie of a lecture somewhere online, where a professor writes "Computer Science" on the blackboard. He than crosses over the "Science" part, and says this class is about engi

A little offtopic, but: "The term “evil” (the silliest and most counterproductive word to enter tech discussions ever) is thrown about haphazardly." Interesting observation. Haven't seen it here before. Was there some talk about this on HN?

Can the "two many friends" problem be solved with more powerful personal internal groups, or better named - contact labels? The problem is in the name "friend". Most of our facebook-friends are actually just contacts. Only a subset of those

OK, you are not getting his point. You don't have to explain it to us, all of us here are aware of it. But, if there are users that don't understand it, than it means that they didn't deliver the message in a proper way. And obviously there

If there was a special device which made you more recognizable in an automated traffic environment (be it on a bike, or as a pedestrian), I would buy such a device even if it wasn't mandatory to have one. There might be a startup in there s

It is clear that one day automated cars will make less mistakes than human drivers, and that such systems can reduce the amount of traffic accidents. There is one big problem - convincing some people this is true, and that cars will make mi
