That's fascinating , thanks for sharing. Where would one go to try out TMS? I would be quite interested in finding out what my brain is like so long as it was done in a safe manner.

This was literally the funniest thing that I've read on HN so far. Took me a few minutes to stop laughing. Reminded me of the time Russell tried to reduce all language to logic, only to be thwarted by a rebellious twenty-something Aust

Both contempt and disgust are natural emotions that are displayed by most people.

Hmm, yes, I understand where you're coming from. If I can pick your brain a little bit more, I do find what you say about body language to be quite interesting - particularly because I am largely unconscious of mine most of the time. I

Hi, thanks for sharing your story. Yes, you are correct that it is different for children. As adults we can learn to cope and compensate for our weaknesses, but for a child whose mind is very different from the norm it could be nearly impos

Sounds like my kind of guy, thanks for sharing!

I can see what you mean, but as a still-current user I only compare it to my user experience at the present . Certainly I understand that it used to be much worse, but if it's not satisfying me now, well, I'm keeping an eye out f

That would be a fun linguistic/NLP project to work on! Most tweets that I see in English are pushing towards the boundary of the 140 character limit, which suggests to me that it's at best barely-sufficient to express ourselves. I

I was just thinking about how it would work for German, which I speak to a certain extent. I suspect that, per-capita, twitter might be quite unpopular in Germany compared to other countries. Do a lot of people use it in France?

I wonder how microblogging works in China/Japan? With Kanji/Hanzi 140 character limit turns into a 140 word limit. That's like a friggin essay.

Yeah, that... Makes a lot of sense. Always surprised me that the URL counted for the char limit.

It's not silly because this is something that a lot of people care about. The other things you've mentioned are, obviously, completely irrelevant to most people.

I have a love-hate relationship with that feature. On the one hand, some of the most insightful things that I've seen on Twitter have been written in such way. On the other, it's just so effin ugly. You can't reply/share

This is interesting to me. The 140 character limit definitely works for what Twitter does, but is it optimum ? How would you even tell? I love the long form messages that being in a place like HN allows you to have. I also think that the

That's interesting. How would that work in practice?

"Body language shared by terrorists"? Wow, that's... Wow. Reminds me of the early 1900's eugenicists posters about "facial features shared by criminals".

Oh, absolutely. I don't know that much about ADHD but it always stroke me as an odd thing to diagnose. "This kid is not good at following orders and is unwilling to engage in long hours of monotonous and repetitive tasks? Clearly

That's quite interesting. I have a former friend who joined some sort of super happy cult a year or so back, and undergone a similar change literally over a course of a single week. It was quite... disconcerting to watch.

Hmm, lets see. 1 - I asked you not to tell random people that they're autistic because it's bad form (fact) and questioned your knowledge of the matter (my opinion). No personal attack on you has been made. 2 - You retaliated by
