I wanted to add: I skimmed your paper and slides. Your work is very, very interesting and well thought out. I'll take a deeper look when I'm not so tired. One important thing: in your slides you write that data flow is underpinned

Type safety isn't nearly as simple as you think when it comes to visual programming. There are lots of expressions/functions that need more than "Is the input the right 'type'?" What if the input is the right t

Totally agree. Amazon's problem is that it has a very large surface area. To competitors, that can be a feature or a bug.

It would be better if the jobs the created were performed by the many qualified American citizens. The 'lack of qualified Americans' is a total lie. This is, and has always been, about labor arbitrage, plain and simple.

I always ask the same question about huge American tech companies. They have almost unfathomable amounts of cash, but complain about the lack of qualified American talent. If there really is a shortage of qualified American talent, then Ame

The comments are for discussing HN submissions. As written, the article is yet another data dump on CNNs. There are a lot of these on the web already, and I don't think this explanation is better than what already exists. I stand by my

I actually don't think this is a good explanation at all. I'm not saying it's badly written, just that it's not a good explanation for the stated purpose (serving as an intuitive explanation). To this point, the article
