10 to 30 hours? How did you arrive to that number? The text seems to have many exercise problem. I was expecting an answer like '2 months, going with an hour a day'. At any rate, thanks.

Can anyone comment on what would be the 'prereq' for this? Are the video lectures available anywhere (he seems to have taught a class by same name before)? And, approximately how much time would it take for someone going over it as self-stu

I think that the reason that Luddism is a more frightening spectacle than it was shortly after the Industrial Revolution is that due to compounded population growth the competition for the automation jobs is going to be much more fierce.

From all angles the situation manifests itself as a gridlock. The article seems to have very concretely taken the harrowing position that the future is either default or inflation. Now, let's consider the average American Joe in this new wo

I'm sorry to see that you've been had and misinformed by Wikileaks-attackers. It's been made clear numerous times now that Wikileaks never edited or omitted any parts of any of its leaks, any that were charged with the accusation at least.

I think perhaps the most pervasive element to the phenomenon of linguistic relativity is the existent literary material of a person's respective language. Has this been considered by linguists?

Spivak's Calculus, http://www.amazon.com/Calculus-4th-Michael-Spivak/dp/0914098... is a good bet. But it's very theory-involved.

I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to communicate here -- the Gawker article you linked to makes it clear that Wikileaks did not cut/edit the video. Anyway, I think perhaps they do need to separate themselves into two wings and cl

Update: Wikileaks editor Jullian Assange told CNN yesterday that the 39 minute video is "everything we have. It is a continuous take except for one 20 minute interval." So, ___Wikileaks did not edit the video themselves—their source did___

It's unfortunate that you're not getting many responses, I personally would have loved to see what the HN crowd would have had to say here. I think it's probably because you posted this question on a Saturday -- I hope you try again maybe o

Ah, okay, that puts things in perspective for me. I think it's maybe because I'm in my early 20s, and grew up near railway tracks that this man-engineered structure's value isn't readily appreciable to me.

I would love to get a hold of that book, but it seems to be unavailable from your link. I cannot find it anywhere else, would you happen to have another link? If you have it yourself, could you please upload it?

Cool, I'd been meaning to get an Arduino microcontroller myself. Can anyone give examples of the more interesting projects that are being done with the Arduino that you know of?

If I recall correctly, you're still in high school. Unless you're taking very high-level courses, I don't think you really get a chance to thoroughly vet your intellectual capability there. When taking my summer-accelerated diff eq class, f

I've noticed it in myself. I'm 22, started using the internet when I was 12. I've noticed in my lecture classes that my focus-level and memory retention is discernibly poorer than my peers'. I'm at least hoping that this can be rectified in

What of music that is impractically hard to perform live? The Beatles' decision to become a studio-only band (that eventually churned out the Sgt. Peppers album) would have earned them a rather paltry amount of money for their efforts today

Could this possibly be implemented in Chrome as an extension (so I don't have to keep copying and pasting the texts onto it)? Well, it obviously could, so I guess what I'm asking is are you willing to do it? :) I, for one, would be very, ve

You seem to be taking a very blunt position in the nature vs. nurture debate, which I find a little unsettling. That said, I don't think the problem with common education today is that it's one of an one-size-fits-all orientation, I think i
