rainieri··on Mathematical Metaphysics (2015) [pdf]
Is this related to CTMU or are you confusing Carnegie Mellon University with CTMU?
rainieri··on Mathematical Metaphysics (2015) [pdf]
It must mean that it is woven to every point and part of reality. Like time.
rainieri··on Why is East Asian earwax different from black and white people’s earwax?
American Indian will probably share more with Asian than european or african ear wax.

rainieri··on A Medieval Emperor's Natural Language Experiment
Doesn't seem to far fetched that at least 2 people in power in all of history came up with this question and experiment.
rainieri··on Having AI systems try to outwit one another could help judge their intentions
Exactly. One AI programmed with bad intentions will have bad intentions. One with good will do good as programmed. Which one outwits the other will simply result in a part of the code that has a programmed advantage over the other.
rainieri··on GUI development is broken
Everyone should use whatever GlassWire uses. Can't remember now what it was. The creator answered that question here on HN.
rainieri··on Casino high-roller database stolen through a thermometer in the lobby fish tank
You verify it.
rainieri··on Russian trolls hit Reddit, too
Neither supporting or opposing any side. How is this a threat to HN?
rainieri··on Theranos’ Letter to Shareholders Shows the Company Is on Its Deathbed
Maybe Shkreli when he comes back from jail.
rainieri··on Unauthenticated flag flipping yields remote code execution
Very vague post. Next time please write specific examples. Everyone should sanitize inputs.
rainieri··on Russian trolls hit Reddit, too
They aren't idiots. That's a big generalization to make. There are idiots on both sides as well as very smart people. Bad guys and good guys.

Sorry destabilize the US government? Destabilize over the 2 options they ALWAYS have? Oh sorry you have a Republican government now. What a destabilization.

So in conclusion the only dangerous thing in that election is the fact that Trump could be blackmailed. And Hillary can't be blackmailed?

Hilarious.

-- thanks for the downvotes.

rainieri··on Instagram ranked worst social network for young people's mental health
How's this any different from mindlessly listening to generic pop music and reading teen magazines?
rainieri··on Stackoverflow is "some random website"
That other website you need to be logged in to see the answers. Was it experts exchange? The design stinks.
rainieri··on Ecuador cuts off Julian Assange's internet access at London embassy
Hopefully your downvote is some due to automated mechanism.

Complete shot in the dark-time.

Since many say that Russia is behind Wikileaks and Russia said they would respond to the diplomat expulsion.. Russia somehow pressured Ecuador into cutting his internet to trigger Assange's dead mans switch?

rainieri··on VPN leaks users’ IPs via WebRTC
What's your take on the recent releases that claim that the US government is funding the Tor network and its development? Information obtained from FOIA requests.
rainieri··on Shkreli Got Prison Time, Holmes Didn’t. Is That Fair?
A medicine for approximately 5000 people in the entire country. People with AIDS and toxoplasmosis. IIRC the increase is distributed among the entire population and he gave the drug for free to the small portion of people who didn't have insurance and couldn't afford it.

If anything he ripped off insurance companies.

rainieri··on Shkreli Got Prison Time, Holmes Didn’t. Is That Fair?
> I may waste my time, but it's not to harass people online and get attention for myself.

Agreed. He did harass some people who insulted him or called him retarded. Mostly children or man childs.

> He was obviously just reading it to show off to people who don't know any better. He cares far too deeply about what people think of him than is healthy.

Disagree. He knows a lot about chemistry and investing too. Is that to show off or to know what he and his companies are working on? aka become a better executive if you will.

By the way he didn't squander it all. He got 7 years and when he gets back he'll hopefully continue working on helping humanity through better medicine. Hopefully.

rainieri··on Roskomnadzor recommended operators to block some of Amazon's IP-addresses
What tyranny exactly?
rainieri··on Bolton paid Cambridge Analytica to make Facebook users more favorable to war
The big picture being that sometimes war is near?

That still doesn't answer why put this guy over someone else. Qualifications? haven't really read much about him to be honest.

Also why does it matter what that guy has to say about Trump? Is it really that clear to him that we need to listen closely to what he has to say? What interests specifically is he talking about? do you know?

rainieri··on Shkreli Got Prison Time, Holmes Didn’t. Is That Fair?
Dude was poor with poor parents who worked his ass off to become a multimillionaire.

And a lot of people do care about fairness. He wouldn't have delved in this troll personality if the witch hunt hadn't happened.

Don't put everyone in the same bag.

rainieri··on Shkreli Got Prison Time, Holmes Didn’t. Is That Fair?
How did he rip off poor people?
rainieri··on Shkreli Got Prison Time, Holmes Didn’t. Is That Fair?
Yeah your call is on Youtube.

If he devotes 2 or 3 hours to trolling or taking calls while doing other stuff what's the matter?

You are doing the same thing you complain he's doing. Why do you want to get the final word that all that he's doing is squandering his wealth and talent?

Also you laughed at the fact that he was reading an AngularJS book for his new startup? Really funny. And then he seemed unsettled that you hanged up on him. Makes sense.

rainieri··on Bolton paid Cambridge Analytica to make Facebook users more favorable to war
Don't mind the down votes. They don't see the big picture. A big portion of the population care more about Trump being the bad guy than the threat posed by some other nation or nations.

What's their opinion when a Democrat is in charge and war is being pushed over the nation?

rainieri··on Scientists suspect a link between the digestive system and problems with sleep
It's true. If you get parasites from a pet like a cat you'll find yourself waking up at around 5 AM every day.
rainieri··on Martin Shkreli has been sentenced to seven years in prison
> I have. He's seemingly a intelligent guy with some personality issues that have gotten him into trouble. I hope he takes time during his sentence to seek help because he seemingly has more to offer the world than trolling and unethical professional behavior.

Good point. Let's leave it at that because him helping the world is all that really matters.

Wouldn't you agree that his childish behavior is a response to the unfair reporting he received? Some people can actually see through that behavior and find more about the truth[1][2]. Would you like to receive thousands of calls every day? death threats? being told that you are are responsible for killing children in Africa? You see that he's smart and mature yet you focus on his OBVIOUS childish acting.

Yeah. A little hand waving is fine by me.

rainieri··on Martin Shkreli has been sentenced to seven years in prison
Nobody is actually following him as you describe. Most of people that side with him do so because they are amazed at the unfounded witch hunt that he received and at the amount of people who demonize him 95% because of the Daraprim drama and 5% for his actual conviction. And of that 5% - 0.5% might have an idea of what they are talking about.

See his videos. You wouldn't stand a chance debating him unless you were a lawyer or pharmaceutical exec.

You are coming from emotions rather than facts. Really. His troll persona is only a small portion of his character.

rainieri··on Martin Shkreli has been sentenced to seven years in prison
He already is quite mature. The media brought him to the stage and he gave a little show. You should see one of his videos shutting down people like you who read 3 or 4 articles and formed an opinion based on that.
