Any Trump supporters in YC are probably smart enough to keep their mouths shut.

You are drowning in your own bias. Everybody who disagrees with you is stupid?

It seems to me an Amazon FireTV or even one of those sticks (firetv, chromecast) could do everything he wants.

I was going to ask if they couldn't just replace the hardware with emulators :-)

The person you tell that might not agree with your assessment, and in fact feel even more insulted. Also, I am not sure if everybody can reach the same level of competence. Not saying it is impossible, just that I don't know what is th

But surely looking at your paintings would be a waste of time that would be better spent learning to paint. No I don't mean that - I don't know your paintings. But supposedly they are works of art, like computer games. What is the

"Why does Brian earn more than I do?" - "He is better than you, simple as that". I think happiness levels in companies would definitely skyrocket... Wonder what the experience in Sweden is, though. How often do people qu

But how would you guarantee to meet the quotas with anonymous interviewing? There was for example a study showing women did worse in (phone) interviews when they were masked as men (digitally replacing the voice). So the assumption that eve

Every quota is also a limit. If you say "there must be at least 30% women", it is equivalent to saying "there must be at most 70% men". Rephrase every demand for quota as a limit, let's see how that would go down.

I don't understand why AMP needs all the extra shenanigans. Why can't it just be an optional CDN by Google, transparent to the users?

As you get older, sex may become less appealing, or less realistic anyway. For example, men seem to be most attracted to women in their 20ties. While I acknowledge the (evolutionary) reasons for that, I also think it sucks, sometimes to the

Try to beat nethack for a start. I think it is OK to like high end games, though. And for VR even more powerful hardware is needed. It is not that expensive, though, compared to other things in life like owning a car, for example.

I'm a huge fan of Feynman, but the lectures gave me the impression they are not the ultimate learning resource for physics. Any other books on physics that people would recommend?

Might be fun to send to the competition, to undermine morale.

Is it technology holding housing back, or politics? I thought it was mostly the latter?

Yes, I am slightly horrified that AI is supposed to integrate this basic kind of logical flaw, which gives human societies so much trouble. It would be OK to deduce that the expected answer is white or something like that (taking human unre

I think programming is comparatively easy to learn. I sometimes wish I had become a physician, but I don't think trying to learn that by myself (or in 21 days or whatever) would be a good idea. With coding, a single good programming bo

I would expect the data to be from the blockchain and GeoIP of node from which the transaction originated? Of course still not 100% reliable, as theoretically people could use any node, but still interesting.

I've given up on using Inkscape on my Mac, but I am stuck with OS X for a while. Are there any other vector graphics programs that are cross platform and not too expensive? I don't want to invest in learning an OS X only tool.

I am impressed by how perfectionist some people can be. All I want from a desktop is little icons for launching programs. One of those icons should launch a command shell. That's it. I don't have the nerve to learn all the other f

If you believe all that spending makes computer secure, you are fooling yourself. It is an incredibly complex environment - much more complex than the code for sending rockets into space, for example. And rockets still explode. Besides, I d

How so? The absurd thing is that it is news - it should just be common sense that computers are not secure. It shouldn't take a statement by the future US president to convey that message. Have you ever looked at a computer owned by on

Sorry then my English isn't good enough for such nuances. Maybe replace all instances of "main" and "only" with "significant" or something like that? I think with some goodwill, you could see the point I w

Are you sure you can not decipher the argument I am making? Feel free to either replace "only thing" with "main thing" in my first comment, or "main thing" with "only thing" in the later comment, to m
