How does quantum mechanic's randomness come into play here?
The answer is to use one of the "hidden variable" interpretations of quantum mechanics. Bell's experiments have ruled out local hidden variables, but hidden variables that violate locality are still permitted. Since this function takes the global state of the universe (hidden variables included) as its input and returns a new one for its output, there is no restriction for locality, so it remains consistent. Whether…
Oh Wikipedia, wrong in the very first sentence. "Mise" can indeed mean "placed", but here it's a kind of gerund and means "placing". (I looked for a Wikipedia reference to describe how this aspect of French grammar works, but all I can find is http://forum.wordreference.com/threads/fr-nouns-formed-from-...)
What a ridiculous comment. As if you automatically have total understanding of a concept if the term used for it is in your native language.
French is not my native language, however the wikipedia link adds absolutely nothing to what I already knew. And don't get me wrong, I don't claim to "have total understanding of a concept". To see what I am talking about, imagine instead of the link this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recursion
Hey guys, the Wikipedia article didn't teach BanzaiTokyo anything new -- can we start making sure every article is selected just for him from now on? Thanks.

Please stop posting uncivil and unsubstantive comments to HN.

Frankly, when you look at the thread, you should be putting him on notice, not me. I said the comment was ridiculous and I stand by that statement. So, where did I call him a name exactly? The guy wastes all of our time saying that he doesn't think the link should be posted because he didn't learn anything from it. Get your priorities in order for what constitutes a substantial post, please.

The "but he did it" defense doesn't work on HN, since people have to follow the rules whether someone else does or not.
But your flagged comment was obviously personally rude, and therefore much worse than what the other person posted. No matter how ridiculous someone's opinion is, if you can't comment civilly and substantively, please don't post here.
I agree with you about the article. In fact I was the moderator who boosted it (as described at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11662380 and the links back from there.) But all that is secondary to the need to be civil, which the life of the community depends on.

You continue to misunderstand and misconstrue my points. I don't see this going anywhere as, ultimately, you're the mod, not me. I hope he continues to leave useless posts complaining about articles he doesn't personally like, since that's what you seem to appreciate. I'll just note that I did, in fact, call his post ridiculous, but explained why immediately. It wasn't an insult in a vacuum. And when he replied with a similarly absurd follow up, I used sarcasm to get my point across. I was never rude for the sake of being rude. His comment bred any incivility which followed, and that's not "but he did it" -- it's just a fact.
