waffleguy··on Mensa Welcomes Its First Robo-Member
About time! Mensa is for people who know how to memorize information and take tests. Basically, Mensa is for human robots.
waffleguy··on Newest hot coworking space costs just $2.25 an hour because it is a parking spot
Parking is scarce in SF. I hope they don’t complain when a car runs them over.
waffleguy··on What ordinary people think a “blockchain” is; the term “Blockchain Technology”
The author seems to know as little about blockchains as the people he makes fun of.
waffleguy··on Science has limits
True, and it is true.
waffleguy··on Science has limits
Umm, I never said anything close to resembling that idea.
waffleguy··on Why isn't 1 a prime number?
honestly this is where math stops being logical and follows emotions. The logical reason one isn’t prime is because we don’t want to ruin theorems that were based on faulty logic so we continue with the faulty logic... yay?
waffleguy··on Science has limits
Almost everything in the list is pure emotional not logical. This could have been summed up by saying science doesn’t explain illogical things like subjective points of view on morals, art, how to use knowledge. The God one is interesting because it’s not emotional. Either God exist or doesn’t. However, I think we just don’t have sufficient knowledge, technology, and sources right know to prove it one way or the other, but if we don’t blow ourselves up...
waffleguy··on Chimpanzee Browsing Instagram on iPhone with Precision
So there is at least one intelligent Instagram user out there.
waffleguy··on [dead]
It seems like the comic strip is for a specific start-up. The jokes don’t seem universal to all start ups.
waffleguy··on Please Don't Learn to Code (2012)
Thank you!!!
waffleguy··on Once it was easy to be obscure, but technology has ended that
Easy answer... cyberstalk them and show off how much you know about their “private” lives.
waffleguy··on Uber launches KSA-only feature: lets female drivers avoid taking male passengers
Bathrooms, where people take out their genitals, can’t discriminate based on sex. Why should Uber drivers?
waffleguy··on Julian Assange Deserves First Amendment Protection
Rhetorical questions don’t work online. Read a book.
waffleguy··on Julian Assange Got What He Deserved
Your comment makes no sense.
waffleguy··on San Francisco passes New York to become world’s costliest place to build
They bought their home in a city. No one in a city should expect the community/buildings to stagnate. That is counterintuitive to how a city operates.
waffleguy··on Julian Assange Deserves First Amendment Protection
He already has first amendment protection. You have an article above that explains the charges... you don’t even have to google and you’re lazy
waffleguy··on Ask HN: Does the scientific part of Comp Science have no place in industry jobs?
Considering science is mainly research nowadays, any job you seem to be looking for you’ll need a PhD
waffleguy··on Characterizing secret leakage in public GitHub repositories
I’m sorry! I didn’t realize my screen name said google
waffleguy··on Ask HN: If not San Francisco then where?
Where do you live?
waffleguy··on Characterizing secret leakage in public GitHub repositories
That was too simple to think of ;)
waffleguy··on Motel 6 to Pay $12M after Improperly Giving Guest Lists to ICE
That’s under the assumption that ICE isn’t lying and intimidating. I find it completely believable they would use illegal and underhand tricks.
waffleguy··on No one, not even the Secret Service, should randomly plug in a strange USB stick
Umm... you can use a raspberry pi as a sandbox. My nephew carries around such equipment. Why wouldn’t the secret service?
waffleguy··on Motel 6 to Pay $12M after Improperly Giving Guest Lists to ICE
That makes no sense. You have no authority over the bank. The federal government can be considered a scary bully who will lie to send anyone to jail.
waffleguy··on Facebook to ban white nationalist content
If people weren’t shooting up schools and places of worship every other week... still no. It’s still callous.
waffleguy··on Facebook to ban white nationalist content
“Joking” about murder or gun violence should be banned. To use satire to critic hunting when gun violence is a bigger issue is tone deaf.
waffleguy··on AT&T CEO interrupted by a robocall during a live interview
What does being popular have to do with robocalls? It’s more likely they target people who pick up often. In that case, don’t answer the phone unless you know the number
waffleguy··on Advice to a Young Tradesman (1748)
Isn’t that what living in your means mean by definition?
waffleguy··on Why figuring out what’s behind a big gender paradox won’t be easy (2018)
Hmm, we should probably get the terminology worked out. Sexuality seems more appropriate than gender. For most of history (the only exception is the last 10-20 years) gender could be considered concrete since it was a synonym for sex. Sexuality is by definition fluid and changing.
waffleguy··on Ask HN: Is Google a Monopoly or just really good at building useful products?
You could google it, but I doubt you’ll get good results
waffleguy··on Early Hackers Used Whistles from Cap’n Crunch Cereal Boxes
I think someone just saw/read Pirates of Silicon Valley or Ready Player One
