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 obsolescence. Computers are not your future:…
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 reasons for this are your answer…
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 already. This site marks the end of 19th…
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 read this forum, and posted on their…
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 their website shows you exactly where this…
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 being transparent? Hint: this is not how…
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 not bothered to respond to any of it).…
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 making the point so clear. Might want to…
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 not post the sensitive documents /…
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 to face Power down, and a sponsored Face…
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, specifically Corporately sponsored music…
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 (through prototype or catwalk) over a real…
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 this field on current projects[3]. In…
[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 this was disliked, would the person…
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, for both cost, practical application (a…
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, I suspect this is a viral insert for…
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 share performance post-IPO (which has irked…
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 media that is eminently traceable, is known…
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, or the world or the universe is…
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 feedback loops or dynamical systems would…
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 Hackers & Painters (O'Reilly, 2004). He has…

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 the addition of "under God" to the…
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 1942 by Congress, prior to this change:…
I read this piece; I then went to his recommended book list[1] to see what he classed as reading. I'm afraid to say, it is (with a couple of notable exceptions) one of the most conformist, populist and lacking in…
