Yep - or someone who ostensibly would have been the target of the alleged 'vengeance' but doesn't feel victimized as a result of it. I'm not saying that Title IX is perfect - nothing is, especially not redistributive pol

>In fact, today Title IX, the federal law that was supposed to ensure equal educational opportunity for both sexes, is known almost exclusively as a tool for advancing women’s interests. Yes, that's kind of the point. And that'

That's a good read. Just goes to show that it's important to remember people's humanity, especially when all the cards are stacked against them. People have said some really ugly stuff about MM.

I bet it would be up even higher if Niantic (sp.?) and Nintendo had a formalized data sharing agreement. See HN discussion here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12071098

How? It's the study and critique of ideologies, without a judgment of right / wrong.

by pboutros 10y ago
That's an interesting perspective -- to clarify, do you just consider that any subjective judgment is derived from a set ideology?

Neither are being bad, but Spotify is clearly trying to force the issue around the App Store generally. Spotify is clearly at fault here (and the way it's been handled in the media suggests some machination, perhaps), but Apple's

That's a good question. I think it's probably by enjoying what you do - if you enjoy it and keep learning as you go, you'll probably get better. Basically sounds like a way to get to the "10,000 hour rule".

The use case outlined is solvable by a spreadsheet. IBM continues to put marketing first, product second.

The fact that you go to this effort is why I love HN.

I hope they aren't - I'm american/lebanese as well, hence noticing.

Is Marwan Fawaz also lebanese-american? Tony Fadell is, and Marwan's LinkedIn looks like he went to a high school in Lebanon. What are the odds! https://www.linkedin.com/in/marwanfawaz

Two points to keep in mind: - It's a deck with 200+ slides, so it's going to probably have decent content in there somewhere. - A document / paper would have been better for you, but you're not really the intended audien

I would attribute the (mis)use of that word a little bit more to the author of the article, and a little bit less to 'centuries of philosophers' - many of whom were scientists.

That was an incredible piece. What an interesting way of looking at it. Matching it to Minsky's model really shows the limitations of current AI - but I'm going to read more about the validity of Minsky's model before setting

I don't know why, but the image of really cute little robots popped into my head. I would fund that - for the cuteness alone.

I, for one, would fund this study, if only for the joy of knowing that it is occurring.

This is really interesting - and extremely ambitious. Having played with the CVE database, I'd caution you that it was surprisingly difficult (for me) to parse. The content is mildly unstructured, so that would be one of the first thin
