please, HN community, downvote me to shit for speaking plain truths; pretend I said something I didn't if that helps you. the guy said why don't "manufacturers offer standard pc motherboards tweaked for their…
he suggested "motherboard", not "full desktop system" resist the urge to reword
what you say is true, but what I said is also truly what I wanted to say, so to clarify: NYC has widespread ignoring of many traffic laws, and that does not bother me. I am talking about, in the context of widespread…
most electric bikes I see are ridden dangerously to pedestrians; by NYC deliverymen (doubt I've ever seen a woman on one), swiftly and silently sneaking up to run you down on sidewalks or the wrong way on one way…
make it a "shopping trip" to an old store, virtual time travel :)
what I wrote was also about academics, taught by academics who also write academic papers. They're the same people. You don't have to read them
I agree the manipulation of, or it's hyper perception, is a good direction to take; the point I'm making here is that, that doesn't mean "in the stock market"; the stock market is a faceless buy/sell with a lot of savvy…
well, winning the world series of poker is the way to make a lot at poker, otherwise you aren't make a lot at poker. And etc. for a lot of other endeavors. The fun of the question is to engage in the speculation. The…
I'm not being a smartaleck, but "you shouldn't be writing code" with your attitude/approach. "NEVER trust user input" is an important security mantra to learn all on its own, like "wipe your butt/wash your hands" is in…
I understand what you are saying, but to inform other people it would be better if you indicated that you know what I'm saying. Refute the point? I disagree. if this robot could do approximately what Renaissance has…
Finance Theory, the study of stock markets and related matters and which is recognized as an academically rigorous subfield of economics, does not offer the conclusion that being smarter is enough to win in the stock…
I felt like a lot of the answers people suggested were assuming it was actually more superhuman than we know it to be from the description. The intriguing part for me was simply the question "assuming you could…
can you control getting onto Jeopardy quickly? And then there is no evidence that by being smart and informed that you can be smarter and better informed than the crowd-sourced stock market.
why isn't the answer "hang around outside Yankee Stadium hitting balls, running, and catching them, till you get discovered and signed"? or something athletic like that. Seems a lot better than the "super productive web…
stop and think for a minute about what you are saying. Did you go to college, and did you learn anything? High school? Those books are all written by academics; very few of the smarter better informed people you're…
um, pretty secure even against dedicated thieves. a four digit PIN is pretty secure when you have centralized authentication (the one bank) and get very very few tries before account lock-out, which is how Debit cards…
for various historical reasons, the US economy is among the largest, "most advanced" (not referring to products, but to services, financial markets, meta-stuff), and "most global" economies in the world. The US is among…
pure speculation, because i don't know the interior history of python: 1. perl has always prided itself that "there's more than one way to do it" including repeated, prominent use of an acronym for that. see timtowtdi.…
but who will bust the busters? guy got busted by some people who turned around and helped him. now he's returning the favor?
look, I am in favor of open systems, right to repair, right to modify, etc. Hell, I'm in favor of the GPLv3 which puts me way to the free-open-copyleft side of 90% of HN. So yes, I am against the DMCA. What I am…
I don't recall when/where it came from, but for example the unix mount command uses "path ::= name colon path" delimiting for things like NFS and other "protocol based rather than physical disk" filesystems. And along…
I want to use Uber's software, just like this guy wants to use the software that came with the hardware that broke. Look, I agree that I don't like what this company is doing. But I don't like what the unicorns are…
wow, thanks! that is an incredibly interesting article, and way to learn trig, I think I would have gained more insights had that been part of my introduction. I'm sort of wondering if that terminolgy sounded more…
this company has not taken action to enforce DMCA or any other licensing gripe with the guy, so as yet he hasn't forced to pay obeisance to anything, and he didn't, so that issue is not really on the table. you are…
his "above statement" is not at all absurd, it reflects the thinking of somebody who is drawing a parallel because they are clearly educated in the Nobel prize attracting (i.e. hardly obscure) field of microeconomics;…
