They are not anymore. Insisting on old ideas because they used to make sense in the past is .. well .. kind of dogmatic.

No one is claiming having an open source application will cure cancer. FSF promotes "free software" as a means of ensuring the user's freedom. When in fact, if you have a piece of free software that's old and unmaintaine

I think the GPL is a little outdated in that it misses the point on what really matters to ensuring the user's freedom. I think having an open source application is useless to the end user. I mean really useless in and of itself. What

What qualities do you look for in founders? Is it the same set of qualities you look for in the normal YC application? A little bit more relaxed? A little bit more strict?

Actually I've heard that scientists have proved that your awareness of your brain's decision sort of comes after the decision has already been made by your brain. Not to mention there's a lot of "subconscious" stuff

Maybe consciousness fades out as the size of the group gets larger and larger and there's some limit where it can't get conscious anymore (probably related to the speed of sound). But consider this: you are aware of yourself, but

Consciousness in the metaphysical sense isn't really turned off when you sleep; otherwise you couldn't have dreams.

I heard somewhere that Obama wanted to do an apology for Hiroshima, but the Japanese government advised him not to.

That's a very good point. We need more examples of something practical done in a functional programming manner. Like another commenter mentioned, FP is not a tool to use here but not there, it's a general method of abstraction tha

HipChat came years before Slack. Slack came very late and yet still managed to eat the others. That seems like an argument against the idea that "being slow will kill you".

X_i is a valid variable name. Although it seems in math you can only use single-letter variable names, which is kinda ridiculous (coming from a computer science background).
836.
by hasenj 11y ago
I've always thought (ever since university) that math notation should take inspiration from code. Instead of writing Xi, they should really write X[i]; because Xi is ambiguous. I find that dealing with all the ambiguity in syntax can b

That's the point. Something is the matter of fact, but it's not what the original question was. The original question is bogus. The way you perform the "measurement" influences the answer you get. Also if you repeat the

by hasenj 11y ago
When people talk about hidden variable theories they still assume a definite answer exists. I'm saying the answer doesn't exist because the question is not really valid in some sense. Which kind of coincides with the idea that &qu

I'm not familiar with this particular experiment, but all my pondering on the subject - as a layman - leads me to a simple conclusion. The properties these experiments are measuring are simply bogus. They are not well defined. The answ

Is this the only instance of this species? Why doesn't it have other instances elsewhere that behave the same way?
