Using the 'N' word in a debate competition? besides that it has more the allure of a verbal seizure ... as you said tragic.

So the debate is basically a gentrified 'yo-mama'/rap-battle? Don't get me wrong: I love a good rap battle and the improv prowess of some rappers is simply astounding. But at the end of the day the delivery matters more

Wow, I had never read that story (or even heard of it). Truly a great read! You made my friday ... have a nice weekend. I highly recommend this.

"We test extensively on the latest versions of Chrome and Safari. For the best experience, we recommend Chrome." Why no FF? What could possibly cause them not to support it? Any specialists out there?

Everything around you is ripe for sabotage, even today's cars: https://www.wired.com/2016/08/jeep-hackers-return-high-speed... Inter-vehicle communication is not immune from that also. But it is a necessary c

I don't think machines currently have enough contextual information to be able to drive fully automated. Case in point: the limitations mentioned in the article. I don't think you can compare human cognition and driving abilities

by kelvin0 9y ago
I think 'fully' automated self driving will only become a reality once 2 things happen: 1) Inter-vehicle communications is standardized. This allows for each vehicle to communicate to each other and signal important metrics (speed

Well glad to see Twitter is finally tackling humanity's woes. I'm sorry for the vitriol, but what kind of value is this adding to anyone's life? It seems to me like another way of having the hunched-over-zombies-with-lit-face

If I had a crystal ball back in the 90's that would have predicted this, I would simply had thrown it away thinking it was broken. Simply astounding. MS went from the 'monopoly' everyone loved to hate to this. Bravo!

Not sure I understand your point here? Do you mean it's peculiar that the casting technique (if true) was not documented by the builders? Maybe we simply haven't found the evidence (yet). Please clarify.

I had read an interesting theory stating that the building blocks were cast in place, similar to pouring concrete. Here a video explaining the theory: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znQk_yBHre4

Disparaging (all!) Software Engineers on HN? I'm surprised this comment has not been downvoted into oblivion.

I hate to admit it, but I do think their ideas and projects would gain wider adoption if they packaged them in a more visually appealing way. I do like the minimalist style, however the logo could use some work. PS: I am a programmer, not a

Once there is an 'Nordic' edition able to navigate winters, I'll be even more impressed. Snow, Ice and low visibility are not yet tackled as it seems. Or we could all move to SF ... and live inside our cars?

Good one! Sounds like a Monty python skit! I would add that in this case they wanted someone with 'clay' pipes experience. He only had 'regular' pipes knowledge.

I stand corrected. However it is a weird question to me and this mislead me into wondering how could someone not ever encounter any problem or task which takes more than 20 minutes to grok. Out of curiosity, what is it you do professionally

by kelvin0 9y ago
From the parent post, and I quote: "What kind of problem takes 20 minutes to wrap your head around? Can you give me a working example?" I'm not against breaks, the issue here is that someone mentioned that 20 minutes is more

If you are a programmer, here's a good one: You are 'thrown' into a legacy codebase and asked to fix/refactor/add a new feature. Oh, and also you don't have docs and the people who wrote the code are no longer

OK, so the link to that video is a 1 hour loop of a guy saying: "Your keys, your bitcoin. Not your keys, not your bitcoin". So my guess is you are making fun of the 'security' of that mantra being repeated in the video?
