Isn't that your job as a manager, though? To balance the various personality types on your team? Seems like you just want one generic personality type on your team to make your life easier.

This is neat. Many moons ago, I remember using Interix and SFU on Windows XP (also tried coLinux and of course Cygwin and mingw as they became available). What I did notice with SFU/Interix is that they were extremely sluggish, when co

Probably one of the most insensitive posts I've ever seen written on here. There are many people who have crippling anxiety and social phobias, and your post chalks that up to them having an "attitude".

And you're conflating moral absolutism with groupthink. Not everyone subscribes to moral relativism, as much as you might want them to. Groupthink would be to eschew one's morality entirely, and merely subscribe to some sort of

No idea what this means if you're a male. Males are fertile forever basically, so there isn't some "optimal" age to have offspring. By your logic, males should be continuously fathering offspring throughout their lives,

This is a really bizarre post. It doesn't matter if someone is observing you, like Panopticon, or there is nobody observing you. Your actions are dictated by your personal ethics; morality is simply the framework society overlays on to

What if you have an agent that can understand not only the rules of a generic game, but the metagame as well? I think that would be a good stab at unbounded nondeterminism.

How is anything remotely related to AI a "glorified calculator"? Pedantically yes, you are taking inputs into a black box and recieving output. This level of reductionist thinking actually hampers progress in AI, because you'

To your point, I actually find the UX of the site to be quite horrible. The split-screen makes it cluttered...overall, I'm not engaged by the site, and I quickly closed the window after the headache inducing 2 seconds I spent on there.

The proliferation of female contraceptives is something we can all get behind (no pun intended). Joking aside, I think this paves the way for legitimate, regulated drug delivery; which itself may create a more favorable environment for the

Trump is effectively inciting violent action among his supporters. And he's not even elected yet. I shudder to think what will happen to the rule of law in the United States.

It's not that we value human life less as a society in the West (if anything, we value it more). It's just that our political leaders think they can act with impunity. That's why we need forceful action to disrupt the corrupt

Which part of India are you from? I've never heard the term "migrant" to describe people from other states within India.

This is very much a case of civil disobedience. Non-violent struggle is a surprisingly effective tactic. As Gandhi states: >You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even destroy this body, but you will never imprison my mind.

I mean it's his life. Until he realizes he has a problem, nothing you do or say will reach him. He has to experience that rock bottom event which will trigger a change in his behavior. Unless he's being super disruptive (and it

And yet the law is applied unfairly on HN. Dang warned me that I'd be banned if I ever insinuated that somebody was shilling, yet several people are openly doing it in this thread. I don't see their warnings. Sorry for continuing

I guess I'm an anomaly and counterexample to your analysis. I tend to prefer the company of older women, up to 10 years older than myself. I have this preference as I've found women that are younger than me often don't know

For some reason, I never saw the appeal of opiates. Granted, I use them somewhat occasionally (as needed) for pain, but they don't really cause in me the compulsive, addictive behavior I've read about. My internet addiction (HN in

Absolutely. I think in any system, there will be emergent behavior exhibited by agents. We see this in toy examples like Conway's game of life, but it could easily be applied to societies and pop culture too. Hence we have this concept

Totally agree with you. I'm also really surprised that the political leanings of corporate leaders is of such importance these days. It's like holding every single employee of Enron culpable for the actions of Ken Lay et al.

Is it weird that I find this entire blogpost eerily similar to PUA strategies? I think it ultimately boils down to confidence. To use the dating analogy, nothing drops the proverbial panties (or boxers, if you're into that sort of thin

It ultimately boils down to the tragedy of the commons. If you look at the postwar WW2 era, the commons were flourishing, due to (in no small part) government spending. The meme of Keynesian economic theory created this concept of "in

What does this article have to do with the Mac App Store? You can easily disable gatekeeper by right-clicking on a pkg. I don't see any similar mechanism on Windows 10, and anyway, the article is discussing how UWP would lock down API
