ilkhd2··on An analytic approach to the Collatz 3n + 1 Problem
That is very impressive. [little tough to read though] Thank you.
ilkhd2··on Debating the Value of College in America
No, god damn it, that was not my intention, [my iq is not 75]. Nor I am a liberal or USA-conservative [I'd say I am left wing non-religious traditionalist; think a person who'd like living in DDR] - I despise both of these extremist ideologies. My intention was to crack a joke, but did not expect that people take everything as a face value and have very dorky thinking process; I apologize..
ilkhd2··on Debating the Value of College in America
apparently, people have very fragile sense of humor here, on yc.

Econ 101? So would it mean that zero taxes bring same revenue as 10%?
ilkhd2··on Why Square could be one of the greatest Trojan Horses in recent tech history
No it will never be a major player. It is neither necessary nor enough to have cheap POS to run small business.
ilkhd2··on If all of scientific knowledge were to be destroyed what would you pass on?
I would pass a description, how to make a Gutenberg Press. Everything else will come up afterwards.

you get what you pay for.
ilkhd2··on How Germany Became the China of Europe
Well, I tell you what: wherever you here English language, be ready that working people are going to be treated more or less like dirt, banking system is going to be a too big of a sector of the economy and many other problems. That is cultural, it is not easily fixable. US was and is culturally English civilization, and this is like a death sentence.
ilkhd2··on Boo or C#?
C# is good for you resume. It is important nowadays, a lot.
ilkhd2··on Why I Don't Want a Windows iPad
Dunno, OS X is always FreeBSD for me.
ilkhd2··on [dead]
Reliability is not the only measure of quality. I, for example, like Compaq and HP laptops, even though they are not most reliable.
ilkhd2··on Ask HN: Why is the media so negative?
It might be always positive like news in DPRK, but seriously, it does not matter positive or negative - as soon as they do not touch real issues (healthcare, fraud in courts etc.)

Cloud = !Privacy.

ilkhd2··on Wal-Mart Participates in "See Something, Say Something" Campaign
Interesting to know how fruitful these measures are. They are not cheap, but if they do not bring justifiable change in security - that is another way to distract people from real problems.
ilkhd2··on Digital TV Antennas Find Frugal Young Fans
yes, but after that there is one more upgrade... No TV at all.
ilkhd2··on Tim Bray and others on The End Of The Free Internet
Funny, Internet was born in USA and here it has began to die. But US is not the only country with Internet... Hopefully EU will keep itself neutral.
ilkhd2··on How America will collapse (by 2025)
Next superpower is not China IMHO, but Germany-centered smaller EU. Or, if for example if Russia truly change, that will be a real force as well.
ilkhd2··on US declares Wikileaks off-limits to government researchers
USA=USA[:-1]+'SR'
ilkhd2··on WikiLeaks
We are living in surprising times, ladies and gentlemen... One, relatively obscure person, can scare whole world [for good].
