Signs point to a long chain of great filters, as far as I can see: - DNA/cellular Life itself: each is already highly improbable and hard to reproduce, and likely not even possible anymore in our current climate/atmosphere - multi

I remember reading another story on HN this morning from someone who applied to the big four (well, five) and got accepted by all of them. How they did it? By optimising solely for the hiring process and little else. And, to be honest, I wo

Focusing on your point: I don't think I am not influenced by advertising, I just avoid it like the plague for the given reasons. That also means that any intended influence to the benefit of the industry is sufficiently undone. (unless

I'm not sure you can comprehend a human that tries to block all forms of advertisement, controls all information the net has on them and sees ads as a possible factor towards not buying a particular product. I might be an asshole who

I know - my comments were more about the initial demand, and it's a little bit of a misunderstanding that people immediately compared it to me trying to invalidate the nuremberg trials.

Well, there is also the question of actual participation: Let's say [A]dam thinks they're not getting enough data and had this stupid idea to fix the problem, bought a bunch of repos when he had the chance, and told programmer [B]

Let's not make this a witch hunt. Yes, the company should be ostracised, but don't ask for every little person remotely involved with them to pay the price of a stupid lead decision.

Shouldn't you care more about the topic and if you find it agreeable or even inspirational instead of judging it by the author's perceived importance?

This is the first time I see this package description format. The leading de-indented dots make me nervous. That being said, I agree with the idea that things have changed a lot and tooling has become a lot better.

While I agree that we have a problem with population growth, the author has very traditional views on marriage and its requirements for a society/population to function - there's much more to it than that. Also thanks for calling

But it's hard and we don't understand much at all about us, and the things we built after thinking we had some gigantic insight are kinda not as great as we hoped them to be. Therefore, doubt is appropriate. (as is working on furt
