Randolf_Scott··on Ask HN: How to Combat Imposter Syndrome?

Randolf_Scott··on I decided that I must live my life on my terms
Many people have good intentions, but then in their emotional tantrums cause by their zeal, they will forget that law and order exists and will inevitably do more harm than good. So anyone that has ideas of going their own path, should temper it lawfully.

Randolf_Scott··on Ask HN: What Is a 'Misinformation Reporter'
Someone who finds what is false and combats it by reporting it as false. Normally a reporter would only produce what they see and hear, but the latter reports on only what is misinformation. Thus the combat against misinformation is not passive, but active.

Randolf_Scott··on Ask HN: What would you do with a million dollars today?
I think there are real problems that computers can solve, such as engineering rockets to obliterate meteorites that may destroy earth. Also, producing jobs for citizens that have an interest in computers. On the other hand, computers can also generate problems that must in turn be dealt with. Thus computer in themselves have an entire eco-chamber of worth. One million dollars could be used to make more money perpetually, thus it could be used for help or hurt. Thus you would need to use it for immediate help such as food, clothing and shelter while the money continued to generate upon itself.

Randolf_Scott··on Ask HN: What made the 80s so pleasant?
Joke:

Well, back in the 80's all you had to do to worship Satan was play your record backwards. Now it is so much more of a ritual.

Back in the 80's I felt like the year 2000 would be the epitome of tech, but now I have no hope for floating skate-boards.

Back in the 80's I had protection for my hair-do, but now my hair stands vulnerable to all forces of nature.

Randolf_Scott··on Ask HN: Is it reasonable to ban Windows OS from our workplace?
Windows is not going anywhere anytime soon. If you take away windows, you will lose out on many technologies. And just because people complain about windows, doesn't mean they can actually do anything about it. And if you can do something about it, you're probably a criminal learning ways to exploit the software.
Randolf_Scott··on Ask HN: How do you define the singularity?
Could be when humans understand God, but that will never happen on our own. That's why God sent His Son, so humans could understand everything they need to about their creator.

Same with machines, a human will eventually need to go into the machine world and let the machines destroy him, so they can analyze and take upon themselves the human coding, thus machines will be able to understand humans.

Randolf_Scott··on Ask HN: Software with biggest potential for positive impact in 5 years?
As far anything that humanity develops, I would say in the software arena would only be for educational purposes. This would not be advantageous to immediate returns, but would be the best way to develop something with the smallest amount of collateral negatives. Basically create software that teaches reading, writing and arithmetic. If humans can learn those, then other educational pursuits would be allowed. Things such as [science and history], [Engineering and Technology] Once they are competent in these, then things like psychology, philosophy, religion, sociology would be unlocked. Basically software should be centered around focusing the human toward educating themselves in a way that mitigates presumptions and self-destructive tendencies. Or any combination of the cores: reading, writing and math combined with a soft-science. Honestly, I can't figure out a way to mitigate humanities need for laws. People always prefer to be bad than to be good if they can get away with it.
