I said greed for money makes us bad humans. Not money. There is absolutely nothing wrong with "not wanting to impact the world", and it's a shame that so many are implying that it is. It's "enjoying life", plain and simple. I don't care a

They are aware that it's difficult. They're also aware that they continue to choose that lifestyle. This is just as valid of a life choice as any other. It's more than a little arrogant to say that she's not the master of her own life just

Hey, would you put your email address into your profile's "about" section (or alternatively, would you email me)? I have a quick question I'd like to ask you.

... and this stunt will cost Github five to six figures. This is fascinating to me. It would be great to learn the reasons why it will cost them so much. (I don't doubt it; quite the contrary. I'm inexperienced and would love the opport

Here is Feynman's paper on that subject: http://www.cs.princeton.edu/courses/archive/fall04/cos576/pa... It's unfortunately the best quality I can find for free. The rest are locked behind paywalls (which is a tragedy).

Ah. Thank you. If anyone has any more information about the decline of Bell Labs, it would be deeply appreciated.

As an attempt to make this interesting (by completely ignoring it): It turns out that, by employing quantum mechanics, it's possible to encode data and then later answer the question "has anyone looked at the data yet"? Let's say you're a s

Hi! Thanks for the kind reply. Would you mind putting an email address into the "about" box in your profile? I had a question or two, if you have time.

The game pops up a messagebox that says "If you give us 5 stars, we'll give you more features!" Proof: http://db.tt/whiVaG0t

Why do you say that? (I'm just interested. It would be nice to hear more.)

If that's how you feel, then there's no reason to post that here.

Am I insane for being completely satisfied with $80,000/yr to do really cool multithreaded programming work on some seriously beefy hardware? (Midwest area.) I wouldn't ask for a raise for the simple reason that I'm totally satisfied with m

Hi, just thought you'd be interested in hearing about my experience with eatdifferent.com. Please disregard this if it's unwelcome (sorry!) ... I figured website owners enjoy hearing first impressions, but this is kind of awkward. But on
