There are probably a lot of good answers to this question, but why not just use velcro? If velcro isn't strong enough then I'm sure that designing better velcro would be easier than designing this.

It can't be searched on the server. The article says "The app is encrypted end-to-end and, like Apple's iPhone, can't even be accessed by the company itself."

That is weirdly negative. Why is he advising people to not play with his software? Is he afraid of it leading to competition?

Was the push towards humanoid robots a PR gimmick? I would think the ideal robot would look very different than us and not have the limitations that our bodies have. Airplanes don't flap their wings.

IMHO, Moore's law could continue, but with a period of time where it is interrupted. In other words some years where it is polynomial instead of exponential and then it will return to moore's law. This is based on the idea that t

I would have to go back and watch the episode, which I may do. My memory of it was just the simple relapse rate, which would have to be based on a period of time. I don't know where they got the numbers to compare to AA, but I assume

The TV show Bullshit, written and hosted by Penn & Teller, did a show on AA. AA accidentally posted their recidivity rates on the internet and the numbers were shown. They showed that there was zero advantage of going to AA. That doe

Continually raising money means the current stockholders, including people recently hired,are being diluted and are seeing their percentage shrink. This won't matter in the short term as the valuation soars, but it definitely will mat

Definitely. I would like to think that what I call negative can also be called substantive criticism. Where does this recent comment of mine fall? It is snarky but isn't it also substantive? I guess I could have left out the snark. &

Cool. I told my daughter who has a 2-year-old. She has a problem now that when she lets her kid play with her cellphone he disappears into bringing up kid videos. Based on available evidence he will do this forever.

I find myself making negative comments more than I would like. But these happen to be about points that are the most interesting to discuss. The resulting discussion is very useful. What am I to say about things I like? +1 adds nothing to

One time I went through a severe depression. It was caused by external events, not a systemic neural problem. I started pretending to my wife, everyone else, and I guess myself that I was fine. It worked. I started feeling the way I was

How old is this? It looks pretty interesting and I haven't heard of it, even reading HN. I am constantly looking for the ultimate live environment. This has a chance of being that.
