I'm impressed. But I wish they modeled the citadel after Hogwarts.

Awesome article. But I disagree with "Don't try to be great." Yeah, it takes luck, and yeah, there's nothing wrong with being "solid." But with that mindset, you won't be great, even if you're lucky. Do you think Bill Gates spent his 10,0

I don't think I could handle a quarter century in prison. That's just insane. Had his sentence been closer to 30 years, he would have served his first term the year my dad graduated from college, and he would have been released the year I i

I actually think it would be cool, at first, but I would be painfully quiet if I knew everyone used it. It's the kind of thing that would be neat to try for just a day. Once lots of people use it, there would be a nice little market for Ret

Yeah, that does it. We live in a computer simulation.

It's a good reminder to me, as a developer, that people simply buy (or use) what they want, not what I think they want.

Awesome. I love the spider demo, especially -- the way it sticks and everything just feels right, to the point where it's too realistic for comfort. I felt like I was messing with a real spider.

I'm also curious to see what makes it illegal. Do you need a specific license to sell alcohol?

Note to self: don't post an enthusiastic comment on someone's thread if they have a similar name. I was really puzzled as to why I got so many downvotes on that comment. You're wrong, though. I'm not the "author submitter." Believe it or no

Always wondered what it was like. At first, looking at the more rote-recall-based verbal section, I thought it didn't live up to the conception that it was an IQ test. But the math section didn't look easy, especially without a calculator,

By taking it into account, they probably excluded people with medical issues that would skew the results. The study isn't perfect, so this guy has a point: People with genes that make them naturally strong may have related genes that contri

After I clicked on this link I played the demo for over 4 hours on Linux. Such a fun simulator.

I personally think copyright law provides enough protection for software. I think patents would actually harm innovation in the software world. Algorithms are inherently protected, anyway - they're not like clever mechanical solutions tha

Made me close Chrome -.- And if I were using Windows I'd feel compelled to run a virus scan. Still sort of cool though, in a chaotic way

It's not logic. I just think it's messed up to ridicule someone for making something cool and getting a nice payday for it.

I should have known better about the age thing. I know it's a stretch to compare the two, but Summly seems more innovative than "a unique new social network" if you know what I mean. I give the kid tons of credit.

As a fellow 17-year-old, I have nothing less than respect for Nick. You're obviously doing something right if you sell your company for $30M before you're an adult. Who cares if he's not an AI researcher? The scholar who wrote this article

So true. I would normally have trouble believing that assembly is more expressive than C, but maybe the people who write assembly tend to be excellent at what they do? And JS is more expressive than Java, no? Maybe some of these are skewed

It's called sarcasm, bro. Don't get bent out of shape. I'm criticizing lawmakers for questioning a technology that will make navigation and calling hands-free and much safer.

People should have the right to do whatever the heck they want with their property. While these "lawmakers" are at it, they should ban all of the voice-enabled cars and force people to text and hold the phone while driving. I was driving do

Gotcha. I thought he proposed simply substituting hits/attention for upvotes

by alexvr 14y ago
Maybe I'm just stupid, but I feel like scoring by "attention" would subject comments to the same top-sticking, accelerating feedback loop. No?
