I speak for myself, but I'm pretty sure many people would share the thought: healthcare is the number one reason for which I'd never move to America. And there are a billion things for which you might want/not want to move to

well, that's still almost as complicated as human intelligence. the only main part that's missing is language. and to be fair, although human natural languages are really tricky, you could easily build communicative, natural-like

This is why I agree with other commenters who say that there's no good way to do this: with pencil and paper, you can't make changes / expand / remove parts so easily, it's harder to make big documents, it doesn

it's not the same. even if you are similarly "conditioning growth" in both cases, you don't care the same about both things. with lawn, I'd say most people are mowing to "prevent something ugly" more than

I always like to point out that a problem here is that people don't always recognise it when intellectual effort happens. Most people talk about someone being intelligent because they can get good grades without studying or similar. Bu

This is very long and complicated, but I'll try to write a quick comment. Many people know from experience how hard it's to convince anyone to change what they say, the way they behave, etc, from facts alone. I say "behave&qu

I can't really tell, because I can't know for sure what you experience internally, but I felt similarly a few times, and I think that calling that "personality" is not appropriate. I believe you are talking about "b

Writing clear and as-simple-as-possible code is one of the most difficult parts of programming, one of the hardest skills to learn. In fact, many programmers don't ever learn it. Some do not even realize it's a problem. I could ta

Yes, in my opinion they are two different things: following your passions is almost always good, but expecting that to also guarantee you a job can be, many times, naive. I think the key point is understanding that difference, and being abl

Agree with your comment. Even on opinion articles HN often offers greater value than many other sites. Of course there can still be a lot of vitriol. HN is also criticised for being an echo chamber. Well, when a site becomes popular, your u

I used Sage a couple years ago for a cryptography course. I share your opinion, many times Sage was confusing or even frustrating. But I'd still say it's a great project, very capable, and... Mathematica is really expensive. Sage

Yeah, I believe that the key point here is that regulations should prevent "harm" to others, not "self-harm". And as far as I know, that's how it goes most of the time.
