Fundamentally, the reason for why everything is changing too fast is that people have more capacity to create change than to absorb it. Specifically, some people have that capacity and also do not care about whether other people can keep up

What I really hate about this situation is Google profiting from HN users by using us as unpaid human complaint department.

You compliment me by thinking it is my idea. No, it is not. It is actually being seriously worked on by Nasa. Also, they use the word "affordable". Now, in case if NASA this can mean practically anything, but there is chance it is

10,000 only applies to a concept that reasonably is known to everybody or almost everybody before they die (like the fact mentos thrown into bottle of pepsi does funny things). I suspect that only very, very small number of people are aware

The one downside is that you need multiple missions to observe just single target. The mission could potentially be modified to be good for more than one target but at the cost of length of the mission. The path of drones would have two int

Of course, even better strategy is to just sit at home and create a small fleet of drones that can use Sun's gravity as a lens to observe planet surfaces in nearby stellar systems with resolution in kilometers per pixel. At least this

Mathematical proof actually has very precise definition. You can take something and answer precisely whether it is or is not a mathematical proof.

You can have libraries that can implement device driver functionality and talk directly to devices. Actually there are some (DPDK - Data Plane Development Kit and SPDK - Storage Performance Development Kit, for example). > The scope of &

I mean... if we go this way why even have a kernel? Why not just have a single application with everything that is needed to run it as VM?

Well, they are tripping on their own imprecise definitions. Using the most prevalent definition of species, the one listed on Wikipedia, we don't have "too many species lumped together into Homo Sapiens", we actually have too

On the other hand, as much as I dislike Google, I use Google to filter spam on my email on my own domain and it seems to be extremely effective at that particular job. Over past 6 or 7 years I have been using Google I remember only one case

I like SF and I read a lot of short stories, regularly. But I admit I prefer longer books or even series because if something is interesting I don't like it to end too quickly and I like the feeling of being embedded within the world.

Probably surprisingly little. Also, the publicity HN brings is most likely orders of magnitude more valuable and that makes it much less important to try and optimise the service. The pages are very light and the algorithms seem to be desig

They do help, but you need give it early enough. Most unvaccinated patients do not seek help until they are clearly more sick than a normal flu. They wait until they have trouble breathing. And at that time it is already very likely they ar

It is not speaking up, it is just complaining. Speaking up is aimed at fixing the problem. People who "speak up" do it because they believe it is necessary to create publicity around the problem to get it fixed.

I think you are making logical mistake. A trait can lead to a lot of different outcomes being more likely. Including outcomes that directly conflict with each other. Saying "having these traits makes you more likely to be a good person
