democracy dies because people couldn't be bothered with the "mundane technical details". its like this is a flaw of intelligent civilization that Carl Sagan didn't think about. it's not global nuclear warfare, it's not…
to me it seems as though there is no precedent for it. Compare to IBM. IBM created the somewhat open "PC" platform in the 80s. Within ten years there were dozens, maybe hundreds, of companies making "PC Compatible"…
Don't worry, I'm sure that the Aluminum smelter that provides their sheet has carefully weeded out all the "non-American" aluminum atoms. Also each Steel molecule must declare that it is not, and never has been, a…
finance is a different culture than hackernews, and the people speak different languages with different philosophy and assumptions about the world. maybe this is not a technical issue, maybe its a subculture interaction…
wouldnt it be true that, basically, every boom bust cycle is "caused" in part by 'traditional' investments having low returns which makes investors look for something with higher returns? which by definition is probably…
dear young people who are reading the above comment. IMHO dont be afraid to take it with a grain of salt. don't expect to be rewarded for saying no. don't expect a light feather ruffling. don't expect light…
then wouldn't we would be able to correlate rates of lower toxic behavior, like harassment and conflict, with the practice of 'cultural fit'? like doing some kind of empirical study? ironically i would wager that the…
so i wonder if its like sports... they aren't paying for workers to be or stay healthy. like a football team, they are paying a handful of superstars until their bodies are used up and broken, then they can discard them…
how important are the differences really? whether you are in a Chinese prison or a US prison does it really matter which injust, ridiculous, hypocritical system put you there? does it really matter what kind of…
That doesn't make me trust them or their software / electrical team. http://www.latimes.com/local/california/la-fi-toyota-prius-i... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Barr_(software_enginee... T-SB-0172-09 I love…
my other question is has anyone ever tried to find this with rational points only
my question is can you get similar results by doing a physical simulation of charges repelling each other
my 2007 macbook could barely load it.
i hope contemporary libertarians on the moon and mars will be OK with with some of the worst rankings in everything from infant mortality to diabetes to education, because that is the legacy of this type of extremist…
i agree with everything. however. i recently subscribed to Curiosity Stream. its like netflix but only academic-ish documentaries. its "curated" by human beings. i can almost feel the lack of "algorithm". its weird how…
Not specific to robots, but i found your question very interesting to compare with this video which is specifically about managing empathy, and it's dangers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wlwDdzlpuk "Can you run out…
I'd recommend the Sinica podcast, they have done several shows on surveillance tech and the Chinese state, including one focusing on xinjiang and these camps. Big tech in China is closely linked to government social…
As long as there are people like you, there is hope for the world....
The crux of the library in 2018 is exemplified here. It is important to have public input to the weeding process (thats what it is called in the US), because libraries are inherently hierarchical government…
You know what's funny is how many topics on 'hacker news' are basically questions of sociology or anthropology or economics or psychology. If you could make some kind of AI that would color the comments here based on…
Otto von Bismark.
so 10,000 years from now they can look at all these nano particles in our bodies as artefacts of our civilization, like we look back at Otzi the Iceman's stomach contents.... ??
i have played with it on and off for years. when i was helping with an open source project i used it to test portability. what i really liked it about it was the simplicity. its like you can learn a lot about your own…
The way I understand it, is that the Cold War was actually a War, although we forget about it, but the propaganda arms of the governments did not allow anyone to be a human being, you must be either a heroic figure or a…
