It doesn't sound like the article is claiming he's Nostradamus, just paying some homage. Half of the people on this site, including myself, have likely been influenced by his writings. His ideas and claims weren't all "o

"One thing all these fields have in common is that they are more intellectually rigorous and harder to succeed in than the computer software industry." All other points aside, this is simply an untrue statement - the lofty heights

It's really like some kind of kafkaesque greek irony or bad horror movie. Most of these people probably wish they threw away the ticket.

Completely agree. These are intelligent people who have done their research and are now making an informed bet. Whether or not their investment was justified remains to be seen.

Choosing the word "overstate" was extremely poor word choice on my part, given my argument. The "statedness" of the success is subjective, regardless. If we, as a society, did not assign degrees of greatness to accomplis

Then I will argue your initial response is a non-sequitur to my initial comment - it's not a question of whether of whether or not we "can" or "cannot" diminish one's role in something - we certainly can. But,

I don't think you're following what I'm arguing from your response - let me re-state - I'm not saying that the "truth" is that Fritz Haber is the only one who could've "discovered" his procedure

This has nothing to do with Hollywood. Looking at it from that perspective is blind to history and human accomplishment. That's (part of) what our species... does. Is it a good or a bad thing? This would be a very different planet - pe

Once he knows what browser version you're using, he's going to steal your wife. Till death to us part, until she realizes you haven't upgraded to Microsoft Edge, the superior browsing experience, yet.

I understand that may feel that way, but I think that perspective is complete shit for someone to have. Nothing is beaten into anyone. That is a losing attitude in life. Every profession on the planet can involve idiot managers expecting su

We’re way ahead in cryptocurrency startups. We should definitely take that into account.

Thank you captain planet, most people are aware those corporations are scum and do not approve of their behavior. I'm not really sure what to tell you - something closely approximating omniscience will be in the hands of a few organiza

No. No. No other company on the planet knows where billions of people exactly are and what they're doing at a given point or can predict their behavior. Not Coca Cola or Monsanto or any of them. There are very, very specific reason why

Agree too much. I'm not sure where the author is from. This all sounds great on paper, but life is a lot messier.

I've lived here for ~4 years, which is not a long time, but anecdotally, every other taxi or uber driver has given me an earful of their opinion on regulation (or lack of). If I were a taxi driver 5 years ago, I would have began drivin

Stop being so rational. Please instead appeal to my existentialism of a professional in a young, pubescent nation rising in the world, carried safely around by a uncongenial immigrant who, demeanor notwithstanding, bestows me with a nostalg

Not exactly, but you can "sort of" look at it that way, especially depending on the distance metric they're using to penalize distance from X, and any bias in sampling perturbed samples that are "near" X - the regre

I'm getting the vibe this person is a complete fraud. It seems likely that somebody is steering her on what to say, how to manage the project, and market herself as the visionary behind it. Reading through the comments "However he

Yes, exactly, and I think the grandparent OSHA argument has merit, however, the parent comment completely distorted it into a case for big brother - which I do not believe has any merit.

This is so true. Most people's dreams are idling around in their heads for most of their lives. And then another half of those end up failing simply because they won't even put in the required effort or commit that is minimally re
