As someone who has run everything from 10 miles down to the 100m for the past 15 years, there are two types of barriers of fatigue when at maximal performance. The first barrier is the pain felt because you're running at max performance. T

Your second point is just plain stupid. For sake of argument, let's say that everyone's abiding by the rules and the government's ultimate goal is to have as much access to private data as possible. Which method do you think is easier? "

I posted this article because I was interested to see what HN thinks on the issue of having broadband as a public utility. Sure, you get faster internet because you're handing over control and subsidization to government, but then you're ta

OK, and so what does that conclusion have to do anything? You just went in a big circle to tell me that my intuition about the neural network was correct -- that there was a designer ( the framework's creator ) outside of the neural network

lack of a human known answer does not mean something else must exist that knows the answer However, in your same vein of logic, the incapability to prove the existence of a designer does not invalidate the existence of a designer in the e

I did not say it was about ID vs. Evolution, either, but the original post clearly indicates a world-view that claims a lack of a designer. As I already noted, there would be an obvious logical dilemma between how the results of this exper

So let's see, you set out to build a human brain and emulate consciousness, yet in the process you reaffirm to everyone that it takes a phenomenal level of supercomputing power, complexity and intelligent, purpose-guided scientists to creat

Off-topic, but why did you create a new account to post the exact same thing you deleted under your normal name (river_styx)? Or am I mistaken and these are two different people? http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=573339

Thanks for being a voice of reason in this thread. People don't seem to understand that subsidized does not mean cheaper, nor do I get how exactly they think faster and better technology (aka extremely high-speed rail lines) are somehow che

300 mile sweetspot Yet again, Southwest.com is $200 from Philly to Pittsburgh, and Amtrak is $110. Except then I'm spending 14 hours on a train round-trip. If I'm going to spend 14 hours on my trip, then I might as well drive to Pittsbu

Ok, you're correct on that point. Now here's what I want you to do... Go on to Amtrak.com and configure a trip for yourself. You'll notice that riding on Amtrak costs MORE than a plane ticket. For a round-trip from Philadelphia to Austin

There is absolutely no benefit to taking a train instead of a bus. Name one. (And I'm not talking about subway vs. bus) Buses cost less, are equally as cramped, and take less time to arrive at their destination. 99% of people don't care a

Just to put Iraq in perspective, the government has already spent or committed $12.8 trillion this year alone to hold off a deeper recession: http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=armO... As a taxpayer, I think I'd prefe

I'd agree with this guy. WIPO is ridiculously quick to snipe away your domain name and give it to someone with a trademark if you don't have a legitimate business or use for the name. I would highly recommend creating at least some fake co

My best advice to you is to take none of our specific "go here" advice... Take a good week off to just step back from the college admissions process and recollect your thoughts so you can look at it objectively. I'm sure right now it's a b

Before everyone gets up in arms... how do we know this was an April Fool's joke and not an unfortunate glitch? All I'm seeing is this website calling it a joke with no real justification. Secondly, I'd be curious to see the intraday charts
