Why do you not see this as being a problem? The sequence of events Sam sketched out is pretty logical. It hinges on machines being able to optimize for "survive and reproduce", which feels very plausible to me.
Re:Forbes 30 under 30 2015

Forbes has a number of such 30 under 30 lists - each one linked in the blog post (Consumer Tech, Enterprise Tech, Food & Drink, etc) is a separate list of 30. So the number of people named to Forbes 30 under 30 this year is greater than 30 total.

Re:All links are unclickable on the State of Delaware's website

Inspect element reveals that there is a div:

that seems to prevent one from clicking any of the links. Makes filing taxes somewhat difficult.

Yes, definitely. Google gets over a million applications per year as of 3 years ago [1]; it's feasible that Yahoo would get half of that now.

Ask HN: Running a hackathon and someone's laptop got stolen, what should we do?
I'm one of the organizers of PennApps, which takes place in our university building. Someone left a laptop unattended, and it was stolen. This is unprecedented - we've never had any thefts in the previous 6 iterations of the hackathon. However, it's a lot bigger this time around (1000+ students), and people are a bit more spread out. We have security measures in places and guards around the...

Fair point. Perhaps some labels on the images, at least, would make it clear what they were trying to point out. The Times Square picture in particular was confusing because I saw the pedestrian mall, but thought that the point was about bike lanes which a pedestrian mall isn't.

New York Times has been killing it with their visualizations. It would have been nice to have 2013 pictures overlaid on the 2003 pictures though, to really understand what the changes were. In some pictures, like Times Square, I had to flip back and forth a couple of times and still wasn't sure what exactly the changes were (can't see any obvious bike lane in that image, which is supposedly what it's representing).
Re:Ask HN to review: app to save files from web directly to your Dropbox
on Wednesday August 14, 2013 @03:18AM (#6210262)
What exactly is the intended use case? On my home computer, it's faster for me to right click, save and my Dropbox opens up.
On other computers, I have to remember to go to your website (and thus remember your URL) and sign into Dropbox. I might as well download it to a Downloads folder and then upload it to dropbox.com.
