>>Only if everyone ended up having a million dollars :) If that actually happened, it wouldn't be that great. A million dollars would just be worth a lot less real fast.

Peter Gibbons: Our high school guidance counselor used to ask us what you'd do if you had a million dollars and you didn't have to work. And invariably what you'd say was supposed to be your career. So, if you wanted to fix o

You just proved my point. He wasn't talking face to face with an Nvidia engineer and told him "hey, you suck, fuck you!". He acts like this behind email and a video camera. Maybe he can behave the same way face to face in his

You didn't get to keep your receipt. You didn't even put your hands on it. It was merely shown to you, as it was leaving the printer, and would go on to a sealed ballot.

If he wasn't communicating through emails, it probably would have been considered as going too far already. And he probably doesn't rant the same way when talking face-to-face with others, or when dealing with people outside of th

I can spend good, fulfilling and interesting times with a 'pleasant' idiot friend. Intelligent assholes, on the other hand, besides some intellectual discussion in their field of expertise, I would pass on their company. But, sinc

The problem is, if you vote for candidate X, there's no way of checking if your vote was really computed or tampered with by the machine. The report will print something like 'candidate X = so many votes', but beyond that y

There used to be a separate printer attached to the voting machines, which would print each individual vote, in the presence of the voter, and would automatically go into a ballot, and it would be used in case there was an allegation of f

I'd like to know about its energy consumption, and how long would it operate with today's best battery technologies. That seems to me to be one of the bigger hurdles for turning this into something operational, but I might be wron

What? Please provide some links. The only story I heard so far about it was this one: http://www.orfury.com.br/blog/65748/tricolor-de-coracao-e-fi... And it's pretty clear that what happened is not what you a

4'33 is okay as an experiment, sort of like an unexpected meditation/awareness of the present class to an unsuspecting audience (for those hearing it for the first time). Not much beyond that, though.

Well, I come to Hacker News exactly for this. It helps filter out all the bullshit I don't want to waste time putting up with. And please remember that he's criticizing the video on Hacker News and not on her website or youtube

I never said it should or shouldn't be illegal. I'm saying that if you use the word "drugs" the way it was used in the parent, then 99% of everyone will understand it as being referred to illegal drugs. edit: spelling er

No, when I said "There's no evidence to that" I was referring to wether Van Gogh cutting his ear off was important to his life and work. I didn't discredit everyone's claim to the importance of nothing, just the cla

I also probably had a lot more testosterone in my body back then... but if I was still starving, then maybe. I guess I won't know, since there's the internet now...

It may be silly, but I bet 99% will understand that he meant the illegal stuff.

There's no evidence to that. From my personal experience (yes, anecdotal etc) with dozens of LSD taking friends over the course of many many years, they all end up attributing huge importance to their acid trips, and all the insights g

Nope. Maybe you're young and you allways had porn available at your fingertips (internet). When I was a teenager, I'd come accross just a couple of movies on VHS a year. Beyond that, I'd have to watch the blacked out, static

Just to be clear: in Brazil it IS a crime if someone over 18 has sex with a minor.

The problem for me is I would think it was a spoof by some (forgive the apparently hated word) hipster designer. I'd think something like "this was made to 'subvert' the whatever, but we're actually supposed to stay off the grass".

This x10. Same thing happens here in the state where I live (São Paulo, Brazil). A similar box (it's actually a bag) is given to lower income expecting women, but only if they sign-up to the Mãe Paulistana program (São Paulo Mothers, loosel

The article doesn't say it is attributable to the box, as pointed out by a bunch of HNers already (apparently, the ones who actually read it).
