I dislike DRM as much as the next HNer, but: >But not being allowed to control my own property is. And this is specifically what DRM is supposed to do, it prevents me to switch the bits in my RAM in the way I want to. Freedom doesn't me

I downvoted him because it's so unclear whether he was being sarcastic that the comment adds no value.

CINC. Willingness to fight and larger muscles are both a consequence of higher testosterone.

I've played with white women (and one Hispanic woman) who also enjoyed it. I've never seen anyone not enjoy the game. Most of the people I've played with are Jews, and the presence of cards like "Auschwitz" and "Nazis" isn't a problem.

It wasn't supposed to be a negative statement. ;) Though I see how it could be taken that way. FWIW you did seem to have it a bit more together than some of the folks there. And you are clearly more productive than a lot of Less Wrongers.

I met Gwern once or twice at a Less Wrong meetup. I don't think he particularly stood out from the other folks there.

It's nice for Yahoos, but I don't know if it's revolutionary. I think Google gives 7 weeks.

Which part of the article says that Jews are over-represented? It says that blacks (and, to a lesser extent, Hispanics) are over-represented, but all it says about Jews is that they were under-represented and that this effect starting fadi

I understand the hypothesis. I am even aware of acausal game-theoretic arguments that people at our stage of technological development may be disproportionately likely to be simulated. I didn't mean to say that this isn't an interesting li

Fair enough. There are a lot of tedious jobs out there - but there are plenty of varied bigcorps (e.g. Google, AMD, Goldman Sachs, NASA) of whom the following isn't true: "Compared to most folks [I know] that didn't spend time in the indu

I think it's a bit silly to try to infer things about the computer that could be simulating our universe based on things internal to the simulation. Many of our fictions don't have the same laws of physics as we do.

No, compared to most people [OP knows] not in the games industry, as the OP said. I've worked at a lot of different, varied places (including someone else's startup, and my own, and a government agency, and an investment bank, and a chip m

That was my assumption, too. I just meant it's gibberish in the sense that the lines aren't semantically related to each other.

That's just an implementation detail. CoffeeScript has syntax and semantics every bit as valid as JS's.

I was responding generally to OP's general statement. I don't work on Gchat spam, and don't have any particular insight into their problem.

If only Google would hire you, I'm sure you could solve all our spam problems (including the one I work on) in an ethical and competent way. :) Sometimes there are different classes of users with conflicting interests, and no algorithm or M

Not sure what your problem is, but I've been in my share of mosh pits, and I've never done it with a drop of alcohol in my blood, nor have I ever smashed my head into someone else's. It's mostly shoulders and backs and the occasional elbow

You could do a gzip patch, and then replace it with the Zopfli patch 2 hours later...no?

I agree that he was being sarcastic about whether this was a realistic reason for him leaving. But I still think it's telling that he made the joke - it seems to me to indicate that there's some perception, internally, that teenagers no lo

Not just contrib.admin, but also contrib.auth. It's very easy to extend the existing user model rather than creating one from scratch. I had to do some unconventional auth stuff recently and I only extended auth.User slightly (and also wro
