Because life is random and stochastic. The sooner you realize that your very existence was simply a roll of the dice, the more liberated you will become.

rms is probably the first, original troll. His very life is the punchline to the joke of annoying mainstream people.

True, we have been refining techniques for incremental improvement. But what of disruptive technology? Can something that is chaotic and non-deterministic have a deterministic set of steps to achieve? Is it reproducible, ceteris paribus? Th

I'll do it for free. In fact, I will pay YOU for the privilege of helping you out.

Upvoted you because it's a very good analogy. The Washington Consensus and neoliberal trade theory have wrecked developing economies by at least 10-20 years. It's no surprise that the developing economies doing well right now accepted littl

Very interesting. We once had a similar discussion in an aesthetics class I once took. Is viewing something digitally the same as experiencing it?

Another example of acquisition frenzy by Marissa Mayer...already priced in, especially in this market of asset inflation.

Be extremely careful with this type of correlation. I had a colleague that thought whatever Twitter sentiment was, would reflect the market at a given point in time. However, this is a fallacy, as any "trend" in the market is already priced

I think it ultimately comes down to "choose the right tool for the job". TDD is just one tool that you have in your toolbox to accomplish whatever project you are working on. That doesn't mean that TDD is appropriate for every project.

"How much is enough?" "It's not a question of enough, pal. It's a zero sum game, somebody wins, somebody loses. Money itself isn't lost or made, it's simply transferred from one perception to another."

Having installed NixOS over a year ago, I was really impressed with the package manager. It's wonderful to be able to have multiple versions of GCC, haskell, etc side by side, so you can debug some of the reasons why your program works in o

>And in any case it doesn't take more than a few seconds to write or read; when the hell did four sentences become a "bloody novel"? Welcome to the generation of twitter. :)

I can understand this guy's frustration. While I've never used Dwolla before, all the negative reviews of it make sure that I will never use it. Hopefully Ripple and OpenCoin take off, in the meantime it's probably better to use traditional

Sad day to see that Linode is not immune to data breaches. That being said, I don't necessarily support the witch hunt that seems to have taken place on its reputation.

It is clear that Bitcoin was engineered deliberately by some entity. Whether that entity is a government, economic bloc, or group of individuals is an interesting question. My two cents are that this group of individuals are related in some

Actually, the caste system isn't that much of a problem anymore. Because of various affirmative action programs, many former Dalits have risen to high governmental posts and industry titans.

Unfortunately, this is quite an accurate article. I've only been to Delhi once, but in my parents' home city of Hyderabad, this behavior is commonplace. That being said, this article is being written from a feminist and classist perspective

I went out on a Monday night to EVR, met Charlie through a mutual friend. I had no idea that he was involved with Bitcoin at the time, nor that he was planning on accepting it at EVR. Really down to earth guy, plus the free drinks didn't hu

And? This is the very definition of a margin call. Retail investors ought to RTFM when it comes to financial services products, especially when it comes to forex.

A sad day indeed. Roger Ebert had the courage to stick to his intellectual integrity, unlike many film critics in this day and age.

Perhaps it was an April Fools' joke, because if anyone were serious about the position, they wouldn't put: "Hi, saw your listing on HN, here is my LinkedIn. Call me."

Interesting idea, I initially had that angle with Nanex, but I haven't been able to contact them yet.
