Of course it's Spanish and about sex, indirectly. I think I prefer the German poets and their poems about nature, the human struggle, etc. (I'm sure someone will provide some examples of German poets that write about sex)

I really like breadfruit - I prefer it over potatoes. But it's not as simple as potatoes. It's slightly toxic when raw (depends on the species) and preparation, although not difficult, isn't as simple as potatoes. That said,

That's where the 2045 date comes from. That article mentions the 1% issue, and based on that someone came up with the date 2040/2050.

I don't really mind the downvotes but I'm not sure where they're coming from. This court case is especially sensitive right now showing the tensions between the state department and the intelligence services in the interactio

They're able to model about a second of brain processing in about an hour now on our largest computers. The challenge of course is the parallel nature of our processing. Based on current rates of processing growth they can probably mod

Our intelligence services are at war with Iran. Nearly every budget point, every effort, must be justified in terms of our struggle against the Iranians. This is not that different than when we were in a cold war against the Soviet Union. T

Based on the current rate of processor development we will probably be able to model a human brain in realtime around 2045 on a supercomputer. We can model the processing of a human now but it is exceedingly slow, and it is just toy calcula

We live in Europe and prefer using housetrip. It's based here and seems less dodgy/tacky and has what seems to be very close in number listings. I believe they were around before airbnb, although I'm not sure. I know I was us

But you can work in this industry and do good in the world. You may not make as much or have a big payout though. I originally focused my career on healthcare and first wrote software used by biotech/pharma companies to support their c

I wonder if there'll be blowback against ms pao as a result of this verdict. She did much to harm successful womens' reputations in the tech industry with her behavior and innapropriate lawsuit. They're already having to bury

The article is trying to implicate old rich men in wheelchairs that get together once a quarter to complain as running the intelligence services. Most of the direction comes from the deputy director level and below. Basically the long-terme

It's unfortunate that this article starts to ramble and become onfocused. The first mistake is pg 10-11 and makes it obvious that the writer is not an insider in domestic and foreign intelligence consulting. It pretty much falls apart

I don't disagree that it's a good thing for society for generational wealth to be dispersed. But I think for your family and descendents it's probably for the better to keep the fortune whole. Someone brought up the Rockefell

The current narrative in the u.s. press, including the tech press, is that china is somewhat backward and uncompetitive. Some people even still call them communist. When the reality is quite different, with cutting edge research, products,

I always find it fascinating how quickly a family fortune disappears (although in this case it sounds like it's on the lower end of the scale of wealth). It usually only takes one or two generations. One way of reducing the chance of t

How do they make money, or plan to make money? Enterprise contracts? Hope to get bought out?

They are not profitable and they are not able to fulfill their original mission due to FDA regulations.

There's a big difference between the 5 - 15 years and billions of dollars to product in biotech/pharma, and the few at most years and relatively cheap amount of money for the payoff in software. And if you think there are shortcut

Since moving to Switzerland I've learned how much better the basic old-fashioned foodstuffs are. Mayo made with egg, oil, vinegar, lemon, and mustard. No preservatives. Bread made the day you eat it, no preservatives. Amazing cheese. A

I had a start up that was working on hard technically challenging problems. We were a spin-off of the MIT mind machine project. We were working on cognitive modeling with the long-term goal of modeling intention awareness, which is modeling

Since this is posted here is it a sign that HN is going to get some edge? It's probably too much to hope for... I'm sure we'll continue to be subject to the same wimpy upvoters/downvoters we've always been subject t

It's not a matter of coding 10X times faster than another coder. It's a matter of coding to not put yourself into common traps/pitfalls that waste your time trying to get out of. And also to make the correct decisions/st

Are there ways to reduce the size of the block chain? Or will we get to the point where only large service providers can hold the block chain? I ask because I was maintaining my own wallet for awhile but stopped because the block chain data

I have a hard time believing a warrant canary is something that can be trusted. It seems it would be one of the first things that would be brought up to the judge and the judge would order to continue updating the canary. These warrant cana

Skepticism is required. The doctors that used to diagnose people with chronic fatigue syndrome have moved on and now are diagnosing people with 'chronic' Lyme disease. These are known scammers. This article reports on doctors stil

When I read the first couple of sentences I was going to mock the article. I remember the visual elements from the Prisoner but I more remember the costumes, the sets, and the large condom beach balls. But then I looked at the pictures in t
