Ask: Which areas of comp-sci study are engineering disciplines and which are sociological/political? For extra credit: which are both? I think you will get a boatload of anecdotal grievance, though that's not saying…
They also need to start over on all that wiring behind Dr Hinton in the photo.
The author has either not read "Nickeled and Dimed" or else has read it and summarized it in this article. I truly hope she is not simply plagiarizing the book. As for the title, it reminds me of the attitude displayed…

I can't help thinking the author is subtly c-blocking her hubby for all time with her incomparable saintliness.
You could do that easily with a 3D printer using an edible medium on bread with a sturdy crust layer. SnackChat?
I'm a casual runner, but I am engaged in a secret athletic struggle against my nemesis, a guy in my age group (55-59) who routinely finishes about 5 minutes ahead of me in local 5K races. It's a secret struggle because…
I attended a Clipper user group in Atlanta in the mid 1990's, with my dad. He was into Clipper, was trying to get me interested. The Clipper folks were also into Turbo Pascal. A Borland rep was there to give out swag…
My point was about the selective enforcement of a requirement, not about the merits of government-issued ID. But it's fair to discuss all aspects of my comment. You are absolutely right that having a government-issued…
No. I am asking those hysterical about recent events to tell me why one form of selective enforcement is accepted as a matter of course, while another is not. I am using this example to show that selective enforcement…
In the 1990's in Gwinnett County, GA, you could not enroll your child in school unless he/she had a Social Security number. Non-citizens (including illegal aliens) were exempt from this rule. I considered declaring my…
Kapow!
Clearly, the PIVOT point is the key.
I can see where natural selection would lead to separation of the blowhole from the mouth. I'll bet proto-whales without that adaptation had frequent clogging of the blowhole with food from within. This would not only…
I understand, and I know HN has the right to control speech in the forum it owns. So I will only write this in the thread where I have been invited to write it (and will note that I am a Libertarian so I of course did…
You are right. I saw "branch of baleen family" and was blinded by my own joke w/o reading the whole paragraph. I wonder if the suck-feeding method contributed to the evolution of the blowhole? Perhaps it originated as a…
I'm disappointed they went with "Alfred" and didn't try the more descriptive Baleeny McBaleenyface.
Sam Altman has already stated what Peter is allowed to say (and presumably think) as a condition of his continued association with YC. There was a recent spate of articles by and about Sam Altman, including a probing…
Looks like Mr. Thiel will have to content himself with being inclusive on his own, or at least not as part of Ms. Pao's exclusionary inclusion organization. Her post made me think of a quote about "all right-thinking…
Team vi or Team Emacs.
It depends on how you will access it before retirement. If you withdraw early, you incur a 10% penalty and you pay income tax. If you borrow it from yourself, you don't have the penalty but it may impact your ability to…
Given the context, chicharrones was clearly a mistake or a play on the word cojones. The earnest parsers of speech for fatal psychological landmines would not in a million years be able to make this tiny mental leap, as…
I believe it summons a Tesla Uber on Autopilot(tm) with a proper roof rack to drive down the runway, and wafts down upon it and then they roll on into the hangar together.
Understood. I meant to make a distinction between commonly accepted terminology, and free-form text where the author chooses to make controversial statements. And yes I'm aware of the existing controversy over use of…
