Well, how you interpret whether or not what we don't know will occur next can still be considered a fact depends on your core worldview (e.g., compatibilism, deterministic, fatalis…

kragen, chromosomes passed on from Spanish people from their own ancestries are not something that people distinguish/highlight--at least not in South America. You are right, howev…

I'm sorry, but you are only partly right. Let me first say this confusion exists also amongst some Latin Americans because there is a lack of Latin American history (as South Ameri…

Wow, I'm surprised. You completely misunderstood what I said. Anyway, I don't think it is appropriate to continue with this subject on this type of site.

Not only have I traveled to different Latin American countries, I am from a South American country. Also, I studied it formally (at university) and have written numerous research p…

Could it be you're (gasp!) not informed instead of it being "non-sequiturial"? Saying Miami is more Latin American than Buenos Aires is stereotypical and prejudice because this sta…

Again, stereotypical and prejudice. Last I checked, Spain was in Europe.

That's rather stereotypical and prejudice.

I understand that. My point is why call it Paleo-anything (2.0, etc.) if it only resembles it in a maximum of 35%? And that's not even counting that you eat cheese, butter, yogurt …

One of the major parts of the Paleolithic diet is consuming at least 65% meat. With this in mind, you can see how your diet is very much not like theirs.

Argh. This is what I don't like about non-tech, -IT, and -CS articles posted on HN: people go off on tangents with so little (useless) information. I'm sorry to say this article is…

> It just so happens I was listening to some beautiful 1970s space music when I read this (Tangerine Dream, if you're interested). The Pink years were the best.

> I think it would be quite practical if some religion researcher could prove once and for all whether there was one or more Gods, and if so what His and/or Their properties might …

No. Technically, we're a federal constitutional republic and a representative democracy. The "representative" part was implied in my previous comment.

It's called democracy for a reason.

Or: "Small Team + Big Ideas," no? Since the article says, "A year from now, he expects the company won’t have launched 20 small, cool ideas, but it will have developed four-to-six …

> Did you watch the video? While I don't play violin, my wife's a composer (and plays viola & cello), and that 'electric violin' portion of the video was probably the most cringe-w…

Western music theory and programming are similar in that both are systematic concepts and can use numbers or "functions" to express them. The thing is, that description fits many t…

> Actually, L. Peter Deutsch famously left programming in favor of composing. That's interesting, because I'm actually "leaving" composing in favor of programming. I've never heard…

>I'm always wary of people who tell me how funny they are. If you're funny, I'll almost certainly figure that out organically. Even if they're German?

Let me play devil's advocate (which might actually play in your favor, seeing as you've used that neologism). How do you think new words and phrases make it into the dictionary? It…

I just signed on to express your first sentence, but you beat me to it! I've been lurking for a short while on here and found out about HN because I wanted to get into programming …

I just created a user to say to the site's author: Your site isn't HTML5 compliant, bro. JUST SAYIN'. http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fpeople.mozill...
