Wohui

I can only think of DuckDuckGo ("we won't track you").

In the spirit of HN; this post and your previous one could be shortened to just this one ;)

Games these days are insignificant experiences for people who've already played plenty of them. Taking Secret of Mana, that was surely the first game at all of its kind that I'd played. But I'd barely part with any money to buy an RPG today. Games today have a much harder job being original, and tend to be shameless in their lack of originality anyhow.

I think you misplaced the words "you thought". How do you get into MIT without being smart enough?

It was a few years back that FF was so sluggish in linux. (fast in Debian now) That was the time I tried Opera. The difference in bootup time was like night and day, and it was quicker rendering certain pages, but in the long run those pages were outnumbered by ones Opera was actually slower at.

For those who go straight-to-comments on HN (myself included):

Users first play a series of games with cartoon spiders, which start out as cute and harmless-looking but gradually become more realistic. One early task involves helping a spider hide in a slipper while someone is using a vacuum cleaner.

You're also missing a spider in a top hat.

This needs more votes, simply for reminding people that bullying isn't some generic situation. The least bad case of bullying is when you have a single bully, who can be made to start treating you as a human being without going as far as a fight. The worst case is a group, who chronically hate you for whatever reason. Not every situation in life has a solution, if you have enough enemies.

One day, pal. I believe it will become possibile too. There are various upsides and downsides to humans achieving self engineering, I realised a terrible one recently - people would truly have nothing that belongs to themselves.

It is, insultingly so.

Cheers, I'm using that right now. The real teaching power is in apps.

I don't see how that is feasible. Upvoting the analogy though.

Apparently these systems (dwarf-n-habitables) are hard to record correctly: http://www.stefanom.org/2000000-systems-played

I just observed the same result (89m 336y).

What do you call exploiting?

It's hard not to have a crush on the japanese when you can relate to all this. I recently walked a man to his destination for 10-15 mins, because giving directions / pointing on his map "left too much room for error" as you concisely put it. All so I didn't fail as some anonymous directions-giver. It's just something you expect to get right.

But I don't desire 'perfection' in anything, I simply have standards that don't degrade. Think of TV talent shows, and the horrible people you get to see during the auditions. These people lost their standards somewhere along the line.

When the ratio of comments to article-upvotes reaches a certain point, threads are punished as 'flamewars'.

"The squashed, wonky, and weird glyphs of Comic Sans have been beaten into shape while maintaining the honesty that made Comic Sans so popular."

It's half as honest. It's dilute Comic Sans. It's the diet coke of casual.

The problem is, existing 3 year degrees in America are compressed 4 year degrees. America should ditch gen-ed at the same time (as switching to 3-year).

No. It's for effect.

An intern? Don't pat yourself on the back TOO hard... ;-)

Who's to say an anecdotal 'employee' is any better than his 'intern'?

When an explanation (as opposed to an opinion) gets downvotes, it warrants a reply...

I understand the spectrum to be honest, but I think in trying to get the rest of the world to understand ASD, you can't start off too deep. In the article it seems autism is now interchangeable with ASD, so we're losing even a binary terminology.

It's asperger's. You'll know if you meet someone with full-blown autism. They would never get into employment.

They caught the burglar, but he turned out to be the local kid that everyone kind of liked. He was punished as everyone agreed the law required, but nobody was happy about it.

Not one of the downvoters, but I want to add that criminals remain likeable when humans have no visceral reaction to the crime.

Actually I got the same impression from the article. I'm not American, but I know MIT is one of the finest unis in the world, and if they allowed anonymous PC logins and the journal site itself just took email registrations, those are conscious choices.

There should be a W3C validator service for this.

This reads like a UK tabloid article. (the internet should never feel that way)

As in, you're told what to think in advance of all info.

it shows how drunk on power on he is.

Read the article properly.

"We have found the inventor of Bitcoin. At 15 AU, harassing him will be extremely expensive, however we hope NASA will do the right thing and repurpose their 2025 europa lander"

You may have identified quite an audience.
