It is very sad that they won't open up, and very short-sighted as well. I'm sure Whitney and KX are perfectly happy with their millions, but they are sitting on one of the most impressive software achievements around and refusing

That's a theory buddy. The word "speculated" might clue you in. Maybe that is the case. It is plausible. Maybe he is 'craving for attention and coming up with stunts'. Also plausible. Unless you're a fuckin

So that is evidence that the light is motivating the octopus is it?

There is no more evidence for your theory than theirs. Neither can be proven. So "let's not attribute any aspect of his behaviour" to anything is the only correct response.

In the UK where you are from, the top marginal rate is 13.8% employer NI (make no mistake, that money comes out of your pocket), 2% employee NI, and 45% income tax. Grand total = 60.8%. So you're not far off.

It's not O(k) then. As he mentioned, he's writing this as a language feature, so he can't make simplifying assumptions about k or n. It must handle large n, and can't assume k << n.

Sure, it's simple. Don't allow heretics (Galileo, Spinoza) Don't allow homosexuals (Turing) Don't allow Communists (Hollywood Ten) You're basically assuming that your moral code (that you happen to share with the ma

There's been a deluge of anti-cash articles post Davos, and it's no mystery as to why. Not because it helps to prevent crime, or is more convenient, or any of these other reasons. Simply because you can't implement negative

I've found it interesting to read and evaluate some viewpoints that I don't normally hear. Please stop demanding that HN be your own personal echo chamber.

You mean to say this Abhimanyu Ghoshal doesn't actually speak for 1 billion Indians? You must be offended that he presumed to know your opinion, based on your nationality, without asking you.

You can try this in court one day. "Well, there were only 100 million people in Roman times, and there are like 6 billion people now, so on a relative scale, so me brutally murdering someone is an order of magnitude less serious. Tha

I will have one last go at explaining my position, as simply as I can. I used the word 'unchanged' to indicate that the sea level in the Marshall Islands is unchanged. It is currently approximately where it was 23 years ago. Thi

By the way, you will note in my initial source that the final point in the dataset is level with the initial point (slightly below). So it is, in fact, unchanged. You can quibble about smoothing methods, how to fit a regression, etc., but

'Crackpot' is a several thousand word article on how climate change is submerging the Marshall Islands when all the hard data shows that sea level has done fuck all except bounce around for 23 years. But sure, yeah, I'm a cra

Wow. I see - at best - a random walk. A random walk where the noise is about 5 times the amplitude of any signal you might argue is there. I also see the mean tailing off the last three years to be lower than it was in '93. What do

We'll try the BOM then, that goes back to '93: http://www.bom.gov.au/ntc/IDO70052/IDO70052SLI.shtml Try any source you like. Show me something hard to back up "The Marshall Islands are Disappearing

These integrated omnipath fabric ports... are they going to be competitive with low latency NICs like those provided by SolarFlare/Mellanox ?

What's genuinely embarrassing is that you think there is enough ice on the planet to raise sea levels 150m.
