It computes because it is detached, there is no feeling. To learn, we would need to first create something that is conscious, an ever-changing self. It needs to be in reference to …

We can reason subjectively from the perspectives of Mozilla/Google, or we can reason objectively from the perspective of people. The concern from people is always about too much po…

Actually, I was trying to be sincere -- our actions have consequences on other people and the world at large. The flip side is that we become observers when we don't take any actio…

Just continue teaching people, like you are doing now.

It is interesting. He is intelligent and has a very good grasp on reality, but does not seem to know himself very well. (e.g. not being able to control his thoughts and visualizati…

I think this is one of the reasons TDD/BDD have caught on lately, small refactors are easier to manage than changing large chunks of code. Looking back at my coding workflow early …

Sensing is easier to model out than intuition. Intuition requires the self component because it comes from feelings and past experiences. The current algorithms are important too, …

The problem is that showing explicit screens and granting authorization and doing all this stuff manually is not a viable solution. I think it is natural that companies won't do th…

The problem here is that the whole security model is upside down. No one else should see or have access to my data. I am sure that Congress could eventually interfere and set certa…

Bezos is trying to take over the world, like the guys at Google and Facebook. They are architecting the new world as they envision it. It isn't about just one industry or some obsc…

Educated/uneducated may not be the right terms, but it is possible to have hindsight just by understanding the landscape. Privacy is becoming a large problem in the internet and en…

In the large projects that I have seen, when I think about how much of the work being done is the core product vs frameworky stuff and/or integration, I think 100-1000x is more acc…

What level of control do you have for authentication? I didn't see much info on this on the website.

Years ago at an interview, I answered this question with "Sometimes I get so excited about what I am working on that it gets counterproductive." :)

IMO, this shows how important each respective product is to each company.

I don't know about published, but I have been able to measure my campaigns by measuring people's feedback to my posts, clicks on links, total sign-ups, conversions, etc. Some thing…

I disagree with just about everything in this article. Social marketing works and it is measurable. In my experience, the first step is to gain followers or fans. The best way to d…

You're right, but we need more transparency. What are the skills of the 9% or so of people that are unemployed now? Do the majority of the unemployed people work at similar types o…

While the overall unemployment number is a good indicator for the economy, it is far from the best indicator. Instead of looking at an overall "jobs count", perhaps we should be lo…

"It gets a LOT more into the nitty-gritty of personal politics" That's the feeling I get from the author's last few posts that have made it to the top of HN. It seems very superfic…

In my opinion, a reason for concern is different than believing their product is inferior. At the end of the day, this is business. In business, there are many ways to battle the c…

Thank you, I will read it.
