I can't concur enough. We don't teach, "how to design computers and better methods to interface with them" we keep hashing over the same stuff over and over again. It gets worse ov…

I can't edit my previous comment so I'll continue: This isn't and has never been true in a universal sense. Athens was democratic plutocracy with slaves. The United States didn't h…

Define, "human nature." Don't compare me with an activist.

If I had children I would force them to sit and play this for an hour every day. Bravo pal.

It might be an aside but it would be, "really groovy" if the general public started to realize that, "democracy" is a way of life and a set of considerations that furthers an open …

John Von Neumann famously questioned the value of compilers. Eventually we get the keyboard kids that have dominated computing since the early 70's in some form or another whether …

As a Smalltalk dork (Jaya Dan Ingalls!) and a former UNIXtard this really gets me moist as hell. Semi-related; anybody have an old NeXTcube they'd be willing to part with? I'm a st…

I wonder if the AI can teach you how to use commas correctly.

Hey Rick. Excuse me for the long reply time. Our cinema program at our local university has been eating up a lot of my HN time. I appreciate your response in turn. 1) The relevant …

The issue is that law enforcement personnel are going to do combinations of both. Corruption is real and companies are just made of people. Things can be done in relative secret wi…

Going into the specifics of what motivated Mike Mansfield requires going beyond the conversation we're having about R&D into the domain of politics and ideology. I want to stick to…

Dichotomizing the world as either UNIX based or Windows is pretty myopic. I want the computer architecture Douglas Engelbart dreamed of. I want a realization of the ideas of Seymou…

UNIX is for dorks. We needed a Smalltalk style, "everything is an object and you can talk to all objects" but thankfully we got Java and, "object oriented" C++. The Alto operating …

Ubiquity for Firefox/Chrome. Hit, "ctrl + spacebar to search for anything with simple typed parameters for search" was a killer product in 2005 and now Microsoft finally got wise t…

The people that are proprietors of these institutions count for less than 1% of the social economy in a large state where guns are legal. Please keep being greedy. You know where t…
