If what they said was false, then would the conclusion not be that they either held the belief incorrectly, misspoke, or were telling a lie? Not all false statements are lies (in what I believe to be the most common definitions) It might be

I don't understand your last sentence, or rather the last part of it. It seems to be suggesting (incincerely, of course) that looking to hire people without tattoos would help to hire people who identify as hackers (but who would not b

Because, of course, a lie of omission* can't really be considered a lie at all! Of course, it all depends what we mean by lie. In my experience this tends to vary from person to person. Personally, I do tend to lie of omission* much mo

Speaking as someone who apparently believes feigning incomprehension (also, immitation) is funny: I don't get it. Why would you name the cow? It's not like it's a pet, or even a dairy cow. It's for eating. Also why would

I suppose that's true. Still an improvement/would take longer. Also the only way I've tried takes a while to compute, so it might be more efficient to do it based on reasoning instead of based on brute forcs? But that might b

They aren't saying the game would work differently. Rather, things would not be known until at least one person got that far. One couldn't, as soon as the game came out, look at the executable or source file, and determine how it

If a regex is required to only match x if p(x), is the regex required to match ALL x such that p(x)? Although this is probably just pointless nitpicking on my part.

Is there really any significant social pressure to make a new years resolution? I more see it as an option to make decisions at the same time as others, which some might find useful for reasons I will describe later in this post. You descri

This seems to be mainly a reference to another article that has also been on HN. By approximate scroll down length on mobile, the ratio of content that isnt a quote, to that which is, seems to be approximately 7:5 . (not taking into account

No, but I would think that it is often useful to indicate when one does not know of a better option than the one one is criticizing. Because "this is a bad choice" has a connotation that that is not the one that should be made, bu

I don't understand your argument? Why would you argue that to be a number of any significant size? There seems to be three possibilities here: A:you believe that killing randomly selected people will prevent more deaths than it causes.

A claim that they don't monitor that which they don't need to for safety seems unsupported? As in, it seems to me like you are saying something roughly analogous to "they said that it is neccesary, so we should let them do i

My uninformed guess is that they mean that a statistical AI system might come to similar conclusions as humans such as concluding that there exist thunder gods, while a non statistical type (one with just "reason") would not come

To me it seems like calling that the fault of "religion" seems roughly analogous to blaming the concept of "government" for the actions of a specific city or state/province government? (that is, either 1 or 2 levels
