Sounds fascinating, but your paper develops far too slow for today's hyper living. I quit soon.

Given the number of topics that you already have, it't impossible to suggest anything in such an extensive and complex context.

Helping without consideration of the cost is something we do because it's an essential aspect of our identity as humans. The ability to reimburse the cost without unreasonable hardship might play some role after the fact, but reimburs

My opinion after programming for 55 years: The field repeatedly expands beyond what your can mentally encompass. This is not because of cognitive decline. Trying to separate the effects of these two factors seems impossible. Two things

I've used an Apple iPod Touch since they came out. Unfortunately, Apple has stopped producing them. I'll use mine as long as I can. I like it a lot.

You might consider shoulder speakers. There are different kinds. Mine is a 3 inch wide elastic band that contains two bluetooth speakers that rest near my ears.

Further comments. 1) I once got a count of comments on HN that reference adhd or ADHD. There were over a million. Your's is not an insurmountable problem. 2) While you can't compete head on with CS grads with excellent grades,

I dropped out of Stanford with ADHD. I did well in high school without studying, but that didn't work in college. I went back to school a few years later and got a cheap degree. I worked my way up to a position of research geologist

A good friend for 25 years told me about a LAPD deputy gang he partied with. Each member wore metals of honor made from the brass bases of shotgun shells. They wore one metal for each person they had killed in the line-of-duty. This is h

I don't think that it would do much good. Compare the difference between your proposal and abolishing Prohibition. When the US abolished Prohibition, beer truck drivers became beer truck drivers. Bartenders became bartenders. Brewm

I suspect that this is propaganda. This is the first I have heard of this, and I should have heard some indication of it before. It matches a propaganda technique of charging your opponent with the source's own faults.

If by intelligent you mean capable of subject experience, there is nothing in known physics that even vaguely suggests that it could lead to subjective experience. Simply responding to events in meaningful ways is something entirely differe

Back in the early days of HyperCard, I was browsing its scripting language. When I discovered "mouseEntered," I had an epiphany. I could use this feature to make deeply interactive geologic maps. I built my professional reputat

Things will change drastically. I have no idea how. When they change, I want to be in a preferred position so I pay in hopes it will prove beneficial. I certainly believe that having this resource available is worth the small fee.

If Apple wants to pursue a Mac comeback, it ought to do two things: 1) Stop destroying the Mac Presence by making it look and act like a iPhone. 2) Re-evaluate the direction of macOS. Under Federighi's leadership, macOS has become b

I've been programming since 1968. I'm still pretty good, just not as fast. I feel that I was at my best in my late 40s. My decline from that was very slow.

I am more worried about an intentional attack on the plants. I think that Putin is sufficiently insane that he could threaten to destroy the plants to obliterate attacking Ukrainians unless they withdrew.

Setting aside the number issue, it's nearly impossible to grasp one death. All that we can say about a million Covid deaths is that there is something horrible beyond comprehension there. Or, I suppose, we can denigh that there is an

I was seriously lacking in the knowledge I needed to get any further than an entry-level researcher. I feel that I could have done wonderful things if I knew more about my subject. You can only take basic knowledge, ambition, and imaginat

I dropped out of Stanford in my senior year because I couldn't continue to ignore the negative effect that severe ADHD had on my classwork. While I did come back and graduate a few years later, my PhD ambitions were in ruins. While I

Not being able to get past the paywall, I can only comment this way: Water in the West is always about money, huge amounts of money. Many of those who would benefit from capturing the Sacramento-San Joaquin outflow, bought cheap worthless

It's called Epiphany Workflow. It's on the Apple App Store. I charge $20 for it. I'm making absolutely no money on it. Just now I changed the price to Free. I hope it's useful. Feed back in hugely important.

If you are going to announce something like this on HN, you really should tell us what Strava is as soon as we visit the website. I gave you 20 seconds, I didn't have a clue, and I left.

Saying that it's whatever I'm working on at the moment is not really a poor answer. It's all important to someone at sometime.
