Aww. The moment HN has to admit two things: firstly, computational power is merely a quantitative power, and secondly, they have no idea about the qualitative. Oh well. Enjoy obsol…

While this is a very obvious joke, that contains a lot of truth, you're throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Humans are functionally better than (current) computers at GO[1]. …

The question (and this applies to Wikipedia as well) is whose explanation are you reading ? I'd throw you a quotation about the Power of Language, but I'm sure you can imagine it a…

It's called Manufactured Dissent . You got the air-play because the NSA etc needs to show it's all fluffy bunny and won't stifle white people's aggro. That's it. That's why the NSA…

The first two comments I made were "down voted" within seconds. Your argument is invalid. p.s. Today's analysis of the "protests" and even the flaccid NSA "approval" of them on the…

Total numbers, out of a nation of 320,000,000: Less than 10,000 (and that's being extremely generous). Since the "national organizers" raised ~$100k, has anyone asked them about be…

And... this is the second thread where the "down vote" ability has been abused. A user (with enough "karma" to allow them multiple negative "down votes" has nuked my content, and n…

antoko, sorry, I can't reply to you. The answer to that is, of course: that is why you'll fail, that is why they'll ignore you, and that is why this is all a joke. Thanks for makin…

If you're operating in NYC, what is your strategy visa vie NYPD and the $150,000,000 Wall St. TIA system in place[1] [and no, don't attempt to discredit the source, I simply will n…

You're all part of the show[1]. ( Would You Kindly Remember Which Tech Teams Ran the Obama Campaign ? And their connection to Reddit?) You have no idea how predatory you need to be…

This falls under exactly the same Laws that prevent a UK resident viewing Channel 4 content on YouTube. (Or, try asking a German why so much of YouTube is "dark" to them, specifica…

Thank you for the answer: in developed / high culture markets (i.e. fashion, or targeting boutique++ markets) it's often hard to tell when someone is pushing an aesthetic trend (th…

Since the polite version didn't work, here's the scoop: The CEO[1] of this start-up has a long back ground in the Advertising and Media Relations industry[2] and still works in his…

[Edit - I re-read the FAQ, I will remove complaints in lieu of a serious question, and alter the tone; unprofessional of me, and I apologize to the longer-term member base] Since t…

Please, elucidate: Is this project serious, or satire? If it's the former, we have no interest ($450? Who do you expect to use this, no major Brand Retailer will green light this, …

No, this is the perfect point that shows Face Book is over . Retro 1970's style physical counters, with a plug lead only 2' foot long, for "I LIKE THIS" . This is satire so perfect…

Looking at the trends, I suspect Facebook will be the goat in the tech group cull that's being contemplated.[1] The reasons for thinking this are three-fold: a) Extremely poor shar…

Trusting anonymous protest groups that are not transparent, lack accountability and seem 100% driven by social media (Reddit / Facebook) is a bad idea . Especially if they use medi…

Well, thank you for the hostile tone. a) I in no way critiqued Dennett - in fact, you'll notice that my last statement about how mind / consciousness is not separate to the body, o…

I'm unsure of how technical to make this, or what your background is, however: Let's take a "classic" of Dennett's[1], against the "brain in a vat"[2]; from what you know about fee…

I'm not going to insult one of the patrons of these pages, however, I do note: Paul is the author of On Lisp (Prentice Hall, 1993), ANSI Common Lisp (Prentice Hall, 1995), and Hack…

For mine own good All causes shall give way. I am in blood Stepp'd in so far that, should I wade no more, Returning were as tedious as go o'er. Ambition is no bad thing, as long as…

Please read what I wrote, and the links provided. I stated 1948-1954, and this is exactly correct: Louis A. Bowman [in 1948], an attorney from Illinois, was the first to initiate t…

As a non-American responder, are you talking about the original pledge, or the 1948-1954 changes that added the words "under God" to it?[1] The original was formally adopted in 194…
