Hacker News isn’t the place to get into polemics so I’ll drop the subject. All I’ll say is I hate the optics of TBTF and companies like VW, Airbus, and the like getting a free ride because they are “Western”. The fundamental human right is

The guy who bought the Duster was living in the Gulf and became friends with the nephew of someone in the royal family of the country he was living in. The Bullshit Castle guys knew the buyer of the Duster and channeled money thru him to th

This type of doublethink is what undermines confidence in the global order and rule of law. When some European/Western companies indulges in corruption and out-and-out egregious behavior, it's "just boys being boys" and

I'd love to take a crack at humanizing your site in return for some endorsements. If you don't like the work, you can always hire a proper marketing consultant. Email in profile.

I'd refer you back to this - > Even if they never buy from you, if they recommend you to a peer, they've given you a patina of credibility that no online marketing effort can match. Marketers have this rule of thumb that you

I see this all the time with tech startups - the marketing copy on your website is technical and emotionless. Pinpoint production issues instantly. LogDNA is the best logging platform you will ever use. Learn why enterprises, startups, a

(Anecdata) A Canadian friend of mine is now a US citizen who immigrated to the States on a NAFTA related (T?) visa. Now that he's losing his eyesight, companies like Apple and governmental bodies like the Obama White House invited him

<layperson> If energy cannot be created nor altered, only change forms, then time seems to be quite arbitrary. Take money. Think of money as your economic energy. It can change from coins to bills to T-Notes. It can be dematerialized

Layperson question coming up - Say a decohered particle reaches an un-decohered state outside the realms of our detection. Does this mean that for that particle time didn't elapse? As far as the particle is concerned, someone observed

According to these two lines in the article - The question of time's arrow is an old one. And to be clear, it's not whether time exists, but what direction it moves. Lanza is the founder of biocentrism, a theory that space and ti

I thought the point was very clear - if gravity is too slow (not sure what this means) to force decohered particles to move in a single time direction, then the notion that a decohered particle is moving forward in time must come from our p

Say I hear from you that it's possible to sync speakers and repeat this to my best engineers. Just the notion of syncing speakers reveals nothing about how it's done so neither my engineers nor I have "learnt" anything.

1. Baiting is learning though. 2. "Baiting" is an opinion. I have no doubt OP got baited in his view but to Google, it might have been simply the asking of questions. Maybe the questions were asked to make sure OP's technol

Send is ortho to what I had in mind. Downloading the file expires the link ( oh, this is what the other commenter was saying ) but leaves a copy with the receiver.

If they take a screenshot or video, maybe I can report the action back to sender notifying them that the receiver is not trustworthy. I'm told Snapchat does this for screenshots. I'll look up expiring links but do they need people

Hmm, I can absolutely self study but I question whether I should self study an entire branch on knowledge just to figure how to take apart component parts of that knowledge and reassemble them. For example, if I told you today that you ne

I'm curious to learn how to think about the applicability of ML inside my app or server. I know I could hire an ML professional to do the thinking for me but a bootstartup can't really afford the time, money, and salesmanship requ
