Works for me, with current Chrome dev (6.0.472.25). Which version do you have?

It wasn't, when the comment you just downmodded was written. There's a reason Aaronson's posted multiple clarifications, after all...

It's been updated again, with a revised version of the draft ("minor updates") dated August 9, 2010.

Well, he also states that he hasn't really spent any time analyzing the proof, so it's not like he knows that it's deeply flawed. Isn't Aaronson maintaining a bit of a bad-boy online persona? Could just be his way of saying what Bill Ga

Discussed here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1587405 As randomwalker says, it's not entirely obvious that Aaronson is betting against the proof.

Guido has never been that kind of "dictator". Sounds you haven't really been paying attention...

Yeah, you're so completely missing the point of his code that I have to question the intelligence of both yourself and everyone who's upvoted your message. Is this stupid night on Hacker News, or what's going on here? (And yes, I'm 100% se

So what industry is this, and who are their customers?

I suspect that was a reference to this: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/12/technology/12google.html "User testing has been done mainly in schools with groups that included sixth graders, high school girls, nursing students and university u

The page I end up on has the title "5 Organizations Helping Women Get Ahead in Tech" and isn't really arguing against anyone what I can see. Are we reading the same article?

by studer 16y ago
In the article, "They" in your first quote refers to evening people, so I'm not entirely sure I understand what you're trying to say here.

From "Jay Nancarrow, a spokesman for Google", perhaps? That's a real person.

What interview? Blogoscoped is quoting three comments from the Reddit thread.

The script just sets a hidden input field to a "magic" value once you've moved the slider all the way. If you can write a trivial regexp, you can circumvent their "captcha".

Can you link to the post where they claimed that? In the one I read, they said that Tumblr was a pretty cool site. Not a single word about the size of the user bases. So which post did you read?
109.
by studer 16y ago
What argument? Posterous has never claimed that Tumblr was dying, so the whole post was based on a false premise. Go read their original post again if you don't believe me (or read my post in the deleted thread, where I quote the relevant

Where did Posterous claim that Tumblr is dying, btw? Their original blog post says "A lot of you have asked for help moving your old blog, photos or videos to Posterous. You grouched about dying platforms that haven't added new features

The more I read about this, the more I wonder if most of them were just playing an ARG (or at least thought they did).

It's titled "A Special Announcement!" in the TUG conference proceeding. I'd say the odds are pretty good that it's TeX-related.

Oh, please. It's not like anyone's forcing you to be an trolling asshole, so why do you gladly volunteer? You don't know Guido, and you don't have the slightest idea what he knows and not.

Or that's what he claimed. For some reason, he forgot to mention that he went from a post-IPO behemoth to a pre-IPO company that was the hottest thing on earth at that point...

Is it just me, or is the "daily internet activities" description a bit confused. Do 18% of all adult Americans really deal with their online bank "every day"? Or did they perhaps mean that the average user does it a couple of times per we
