globalrev··on Early Retirement is a False Idol
Scary how true that is too me.

But I most of all want to create something to help people and I get very satisfied by solving problems.

globalrev··on Success of Y Combinator startups?
Where did I misspell?

Anyway I ment measuring the success. How many are actually making money(I mena not just having revenue but revenue > expenses).

globalrev··on Reddit, Stumbleupon, Del.icio.us and Hacker News Algorithms Exposed
Not to be an ass but how hard can they be anyway? Its not a formula like a^2 + b^2 = c^2

it is just some variables that they tweaked until they fit.

globalrev··on [dead]
old
globalrev··on I have finally seen the Emacs light
so maybe the problem was windows then? :)
globalrev··on After c/c++ what should I learn?
yous tudy CS and only studied programming in the 2nd year?

What languages do you know more?

Id say go functional, entirely different, mindexpanding and might be very important in the near future because of concurrency/parallellism.

Erlang, Clojure, Common Lisp, Scheme.

globalrev··on Is this for 12-year-olds? I must be lagging behind...
I dont get this. It is computer science and mathematics, seems pretty advanced.

And they teach it to 12-year olds?

I must be lagging behind...

Or is it some sort of genius school?

ROFL get a life you are missing so much if you think WoW is anything compared to real life.

globalrev··on Ask HN: Critique my startup
Well nice webapplication. But a startup? Isnt that suggesting that you will make money from it?
globalrev··on What’s New in Python 3.0
what does a real one consitute of?

and why do you want that? i use pyhton as a superb general-purpose language and for gluing together a lot of different parts of software/programs.

for that purpose, simplicity and readability is essential.

globalrev··on Code Golf - Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby
ah it means how many keystrokes it expands into?
globalrev··on Code Golf - Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby
I don't get it, shortest how? When converted to machinelanguage?

Here is my code in Erlang, using factorial(which is not recommended by the site): nCk(N, K) -> fac(N) / (fac(K) * fac(N - K)).

what´s wrong with that?

globalrev··on FUTURE GENERATIONS:What We're All About
Wow this is pure grossness. Crawl back under your rock nazi.
globalrev··on Ask YC: Voting and Karma (Call to action)
Downvoting opinions you dont like creates a streamlined and boring community and will turn into the tyranny of the masses.

Downvote trolling and upvote opinions and posts you like. But dont downvote wellargumented posts that you disagree with.

globalrev··on Google To Develop ISP Throttling Detector
I am paying around 50$/month for my broadband and is pretty much connected 8hours a day.

Does that mean someone else is paying for me? I.E. most people surf less and there for don't use the 50$ dllars they pay?

I mean how is this actually working, internet used to be expensive like 10 years ago when you paid per hour and had a modem.

I thought it was so cheap now because it is cheap to let people have the bandwidth.

I don't really get this issue with wanting to control what people access. Why don't the broadbandproviders charge you for how much bandwidth you use instead?

globalrev··on Ask YC: Best book to learns statistics?
perhaps not exactly what you are looking for but: nassim nicholas taleb: http://www.amazon.com/Black-Swan-Impact-Highly-Improbable/dp... http://www.amazon.com/Fooled-Randomness-Hidden-Chance-Market...
globalrev··on Vista Is Good
funny how i never cared about the OS. i program and for personal use the OS really is whatever in my opinion.

for porfessional use maybe windows has issues but really what is wrong with vista or earlier windows for the average computeruser?

globalrev··on Ask HN: Program to build webpages?
weebly and open design are both awesome, ty very much, exactly what i wanted.
globalrev··on Ask HN: Program to build webpages?
what do you mean emacs? is there a builtin htmlpagecreator?

globalrev··on Steve Yegge: Singleton Considered Stupid 
you cant in java!?
globalrev··on How Are Humans Unique?
really? based on what?

it really is funny how people believe in evolution but dont accept the consqquenses of it.

we aint that bright dude, just look at the average persons ability to reflect upon themselves...

globalrev··on Three levels of addressing the Netflix Prize
does an amateur stand a chance here?

i mean you have to be an expert and put in a LOT of work right?

globalrev··on Essential Python Tips, Tricks, and Hacks
except it is not working?

>>> numbers = [1,10,100,1000,10000,100000,1000000] >>> if any(number < 10 for number in numbers):print number

Traceback (most recent call last): File "<pyshell#4>", line 1, in <module> if any(number < 10 for number in numbers):print number NameError: name 'number' is not defined >>> if any(number < 10 for number in numbers): print number

globalrev··on Ask Eliezer Yudkowsky: How did you convince the Gatekeeper to release the potentially genocidal AI?
can you specify the actual question? is it:

1. an AI in a box and it has shown to be dangerous and now must be kep inside or

2. we dont know if it is good or dangerous and it is the gatekeepers job to find out?

globalrev··on Ask Eliezer Yudkowsky: How did you convince the Gatekeeper to release the potentially genocidal AI?
i think you missed what he was trying to say :)
globalrev··on Ask Eliezer Yudkowsky: How did you convince the Gatekeeper to release the potentially genocidal AI?
"yo let me out i give you all you want(jessica alba+10million$+etc) k thanks."

this is like one of those send me 20000$ and ill tell you how to make a million dollars and the answer is tell 50 people to send you 20000$ and you will tell them how to make a million dollars.

i guess the singularity issue is about you being religious or not.

if there is no God, why shouldnt we be able to create a life? we come from dumb stuff and the brain supposedly is just an advanced computer.

what are the philospohical and mathematical limitations on AI/creating a more clever being?

on a related but slightly different matter: i think i ahve read something about the matrix that it takes more atoms to simulate an atom so therefore a simulation can never be of the whole universe. correct?

globalrev··on M-expressions==LISP in "normal syntax"-kills LISP?
well backwards notationa nd parenthesis is not how we normally write and talk and it is a turnoff for a lot of people.

i dont personally have a problem with it but id prefer the same language with normal syntax/notation.

globalrev··on To Beat Google, Beat Google to the Mobile Web
yeah ads seems very ahrd to do on a mobile. everyone hates them and they need space to get their message through and well obiles dont have a lot of space.

i want it as clutterfree as possible, ona computerscreen some clutter is acceptable but on a small screen it is a mess.

im not an avid mobileuser though so maybe im not the target.
