As a proud deletionist (philosophically, not actively), I feel I need to respond to a bunch of the comments here. This claim that any fact, no matter how obscure and how specific, should be on Wikipedia is maddening. Have you heard of the L

I still don't understand how anyone can believe that paying ten to a hundred times as much for algorithmically provable trust or whatever will get any market traction ever.

I hate to be "That Guy", but how is this relevant to Hacker News? Is it just because people who write code also drink coffee?

Two people does not make a noteworthy conspiracy theory.

The fact that articles like this even exist is one of the top problems with Wikipedia today. One guy with a crazy theory can generate enough "evidence" and "citations" to make any random bullshit encyclopedic, and there

This is not the The Atlantic that you've heard of. And i smell a rat. Has anyone else who has purchased a Tesla had even half as many issues? I think this guy just worked things until he got some sales schmuck to make him an offer to

Could all the people without medical knowledge please stop saying that their lack-of-medical-knowledge make them smarter than the guy that actually did this? Your requests for various random chemical levels are stupid. We have done scienc

A somewhat serious question: Why didn't they just shoot him?

Maybe downvotes because the claim that your combination of buzzwords "could kill off Uber and Lyft almost overnight" requires more backing than just asking people "why would [it] not work"?

Is this even a startup at this point, or just a guy good at making mock-ups that get covered by TechCrunch?
613.
by powera 11y ago
The startup and/or its employees should have known the tax laws. It's not like this exact thing hasn't been happening for years and years. (And it kind of is the startups fault that there isn't a way to exercise-and-sell

On the other hand, there aren't billions of dollars to be made in a cottage industry from cranks claiming that fusion-like setups cause things to actually get cooler or that some form of reverse-fusion occurs. So if you have enough pe

If this is such a credible or important result, why are none of the articles about it ever from NASA or quoting NASA?

Pretty much every cloud platform offers a deal like this to pretty much every tech incubator so the actual value of the deal isn't that high, certainly not $5000.

I still see the (blatantly absurd) "As the first major computer company to make Open Source development a key part of its ongoing software strategy" copy on this page.

I'm just going to say "no way". No way that a 4-page document is the proof, and no way it's on any site other than a university or Arxiv.

"Also be warned — I have no idea what I’m talking about. Take everything in this article with a grain of salt." - pretty much. I'm not sure whether the author thinks "platforms" even are. And the complaints that &

I think it's far far far more likely that they intended for the declaration to arrive after the attacks, but with some amount of plausible deniability.

The article appears to be of the belief that literally nothing the Japanese government could have said or done was a sign they wanted war.
623.
by powera 11y ago
The tone here is incredibly biased towards "nobody in Japan wanted war". Apparently nobody in Japan wanted war, but they somehow kept invading countries? And the claim that "Japan had planned to declare war shortly before

You seem to completely ignoring Japan's wars of invasion against China, Korea, Indochina, and basically every border other than "America" first. Or for that matter, the rest of World War II which had been going on for over a

My super-hand-waving explanation of why machine learning works: MNIST is a handwritten digit database. Each 784-pixel image (28x28) corresponds to a digit from 0 to 9. As a pure mathematical construction, there are at most 2^784 inputs po

First off, a reminder that Umberto Eco is an Italian author. (as I'm sure most of the commenters here are familiar with The Name of the Rose or Foucault's Pendulum in English) Based on this (and a few other) reviews, I'm not

In this case, the author is clearly comparing another juror ("Henry") to Henry Fonda, not himself. Which is definitely not comparing himself to Henry Fonda.

This guy seems like a terrible, terrible juror. Bragging about violating the rules, annoyed because the judge is called "your honor", implying that a jury with 6/12 people white is somehow a sign of massive racial bias? What
