Why? Even in your hypothetical world domination scenario a program can make many mistakes but as long as it wins more territory than it loses it is still successful.

This rebuttal certainly makes me more inclined to believe the takedown piece. Disruption obviously happens but Christensen has made me less likely to believe he has any ability to predict when it is going to happen or why, or that he has an

Can you please disclose how many bitcoins you own and if you have any vested interests in keeping the bitcoin exchange rate high. Thanks.

There can be an infinite number of different rigorous conceptions of logic, while at the same time there are also an infinite number of modes of thought outside of logic .. we know the ones like instinct, superstition, and religion that are

This article is kinda missing the point. The "empty" is the undefined. That which has yet to exist, or never will. There is that which is uncountable, for example the number of corners in a circle. Just because it is a contradicti

It's signalling. An employer that refuses to negotiate is looking for employees that are easily bullied. If they have lots of candidates to choose from who allowed themselves to be bullied, they can get away with this. Do you really wa

So understandably you don't want to be too specific about how you pick search results to beat the seo people, but could you talk briefly about how ddg returns results? Is it still some variant of PageRank?

But it should be obvious there are a lot fewer salespeople needed than factory workers, and more importantly, robots don't buy things, so who is buying the artisanal pocket calculators and where are they getting their money?

Could you please elaborate on how people tried to game the system and what was done to try to mitigate that?

I have a huge problem with this, because what should be obvious is, the number of people who can be in management/architecture roles is necessarily much smaller than the number of people who are in basic development roles. Assuming the

While I personally think the above post is morally repugnant, I was very disappointed to see that it had been downvoted significantly and I upvoted it to try to balance it out. The poster might be wrong but he did so with a civil tone and a

I don't think the quote was meant to be taken literally. You are missing the point if you are. It should be obvious by now that OOP is a programming method that is possible in any programming language, and it is easier in some and hard

The writer mentions that he doesn't believe in the subjective theory of value, but doesn't explain why. I am really curious as to what his reasons are.

On what basis do you make the claim that you are the #1 rated mattress? I see that you have mattresses that are 5 star rated, but that does not imply you are the best one. According to Amazon's "Top Rated" mattresses, your br

Since you bring up Fowler, in his book Refactoring he gives specific examples to show why you should AVOID comments. In most situations you should try to write code that is so clear no comments are needed. That's what the above code is

That's very interesting. Do you think addicts already have those personality traits from before they became addicted, or the traits developed as a result of the addiction?

Pretty sure you are addicted to oxygen. You are probably addicted to hackernews also. This is not meant to be a banal comment. Addiction is not necessarily a bad thing. You could be addicted to hard work, for example. You could be addicted

It is not clear to me from the article and from the brief googling I did, how they came to the conclusion that there was no trading class? What evidence did they use to prove this absence? It seems to me the ruling class of any society work

Can you explain in greater detail please? Are you using the terms "concave" and "convex" in the same way that NNT does in his recent book Antifragile?
