Note to future readers: This is how we ended up training our new robot overlords wasn't it?

Our kid is two, so not really relevant. He watches peppa pig / masha / noddy for about 30 mins a day when we're feeding him. As an adult who started on computers at 6, I think we're overstating the problem. He's mor

As a person who has worked remotely for around 15 years (as a programmer): Results may vary. It doesn't have to be this way at all.

Unfair! They are providing a damn good service in the current paradigm. They are standing up for something important in a reasonable way. Decentralisation will be the next great hurdle, I'm sure we've all been thinking about it fo

Well that was a horribly inaccurate glimpse into a future I don't want.

I cannot believe this is happening - that is truly insane.

Does that invalidate the entire argument presented? ... there are certainly advantages for both cabbie and client (otherwise it wouldn't catch on). The problem is 'new stuff' being run like the 'old stuff'. It'

With all respect to our American cousins -> Bitcoin != A US financial system. Regrettably yet another article from an American perspective, by an American author, that doesn't take into account the actual context. ...balanced and we

Genuinely impressive.

I was interested, but you lost me at the pricing - no middle ground, 500gb -> 3tb - and a $200 gap right there.

Unfortunately you may be right (unless we change it ofc!)

Serious question: It's just kids who use this stuff right? I assume most people over the age of 25 are pretty much completely bored with / have no use for this kind of thing. Or am I wrong?

Yes, I never thought of that way. I remember once feeling a moment of confusion IRL: "Please go to window 2 sir.." -> "*but there's only 2 .. ahh ..ok.." - just that ever so slight moment of brain fail. It was s

Well I've been programming since I was 6 years old, and i'm 38 now. I am what I am, I have yet to encounter any issue I couldn't solve. I don't deal with those sort of things though, so no idea if I could or not. When I

I'm not going to Google it, I don't know what you're talking about. I assume it's some 'thing' that's impossible/hard to solve. I'm sure someone will solve it if it's possible. It won't

I remember I figured out 'interfaces' about 5 years after starting to deal with them. I'm not proud of that. I had no books, so... still. I also occasionally double-take on an 'off-by-one', and happily will spend 2

My stuff is a combination of the left column, and other times hugely overly flexible / elegant stuff that ends up never getting fully utilised (and me thinking I should have stuck to the left column)

Yes, you're absolutely right. If I could send them 30 euros a month, instead of $10 to my usenet provider I would. I can't, so I don't. (I live way way way away, netflix is a distant dream here) Also: I tried netflix at one p

Been programming for 30+ years, [ can solve any problem ] in computing, have saved companies millions and invented new ways of doing entire processes for thousands and thousand of people -> I have no idea what most of those matrices were

Well, if that goes - there's a few more that'll be next. If you know what you're doing, the convenience with which you can have a fully stocked and extremely up-to-date media experience is staggering. For around $10 a month y

She seems nice. The tone was more remarkable than the content (the content was also interesting). It seems we've been inundated with this grotesque idea that every single young artist is a boring dark repetition of the same old paradig

You're dealing with the infinite, and returning with a high probability of the value 1. If that turns out to be correct - I'll eat my own brain.

That's an extremely humorous notion.

Haha thanks man, i'll get off your lawn now. I don't feel old at all, honestly!!!! - I know I'm still a yoot basically, I have so much to learn. It was only meant in relation to the context given (the article)

Where are you? That sounds incredible. I have 2 dogs, a wife and a new baby. I can lend you them for 3-4 years if you want ;) Nah, it's awesome. Thanks, and enjoy your new friend - great move!

As a 38 year old who doesn't need to be hired: I am infinitely more useful as a programmer now than when I was 18. I started when I was about 6, I had put in my 10,000 hours by around 18. I lacked so much. I play on-line FPS to relax a
