before the internet computers were pretty much useless, except for things like visicalc and wordstar. Besides basic office duties they were useless in the home, except to geeks who didn't mind pecking out simple programs that were forg

that's not racist at all, just unobservant. It's not racism to think a name sounds Asian. How did we get so confused about terms like racism and feminism.

absolutely, the website looks very 90s, none of the links look like links and its too myspace in appearance (old myspace) - I would bounce if results landed me on that site without even reading the content.

look what you've started :) ultimately, every social network (hn included now) devolves to discussing cats. Humans make such good pets.

you're missing the point of pinterest, it's not "things i want", but rather things i like. The whole premise is showcase a personal aesthetic. it is through these aesthetics that we learn more about each other. obviously

As a search/deep learning engineer I am amazed at google, I think that the more you know about the subject, the more appreciative one becomes. Take, for example, their iOS search app. You just say "ok google" then often befor

are they serious? people really volunteer for that? while I'm with Douglas Adam's in that we should try to save the black rhino, I have no problem with a disgusting parasitic worm going extinct, since it has little to no effect on

this is a really confusingly named project. I immediately thought that the scala for Apache Spark ("Lightning-fast cluster computing") had been rewritten in java!

why is that nice? Isn't that like saying, "it's nice because it works on an EGA monitor"? javascript is a much as part of "the web" as html.

In that case, why would you care for a gallery of notebooks? I love iPython notebook, any data scientist, CS teacher or python developer should learn how to use them.

thanks for the explaining why you suggested the world's birth rate is dropping. As you say, population of the earth as a whole is still increasing, and the birth rate is not in decline. It's not a mean vs. median problem at all. I
