Slightly offtopic: What a cool personal website!
sebkomianos··on Ohio train derailment: environmental disaster quietly unfolding
So, it's not the actual disaster that you don't care about but the "you have not heard about this" part of the news?

Preach, brother.
sebkomianos··on Ohio train derailment: environmental disaster quietly unfolding
No, it's about the story itself.

If you see a news title reading "This happened there and you haven't heard about it" but you have actually heard about it, just move on.

What's the point of saying "I have actually heard about it?".

sebkomianos··on Ohio train derailment: environmental disaster quietly unfolding
I don't know what you mean by "sensationalism" so I will only say this:

Such disasters need to be heavily reported on because that's the only way for better regulation and prevention.

Furthermore, there is things that have to be done for the town to become safe and for the people to be taken care of and compensated.

And that's about it, really.

You can't really believe that brain-damaging chemicals in the air (and soil and water) is the same thing with lightnings in a severe thunderstorm!

Thanks for the correction!
sebkomianos··on Ohio train derailment: environmental disaster quietly unfolding
Thanks for the reply!

May I ask why "you don't care", though?

Hey, 0 people live in the water so it's fine if the oceans get poisoned, right?

You are able to consume and digest millions of tweets? You are a wonder!
sebkomianos··on Ohio train derailment: environmental disaster quietly unfolding
I can't stop thinking about this.
sebkomianos··on Ohio train derailment: environmental disaster quietly unfolding
A few questions:

1) Do you think that a town getting poisoned is not "special"?

2) Do you think that the 5000 people that lived on said town are out of life-threatening danger?

3) Do you think it's only said town and said 5000 people that are threatened by this?

4) Don't you think that working conditions need to be regulated in order to be safe?

5) Don't you think that this disaster could help us prevent other ones?

So the live coverage from Fox is 8 days late, right?

Then maybe this isn't about you, specifically?

How are the mainstream media dealing with it?

sebkomianos··on Ask HN: What were the papers on the list Ilya Sutskever gave John Carmack?
Following: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34643510
sebkomianos··on Let's ask Ilya Sutskever and John Carmack to share their AI reading list
Following this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34641359

and this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34642373

How about we all retweet the above tweet so we get Sutskever and Carmack to see it and share with us?

sebkomianos··on Ask HN: How do I prove that a certain Gmail account does indeed belong to me?
An update:

A week in, Google has yet to get in touch with me despite all the recovery and contact attempts I have made (see here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17460270 and here: https://twitter.com/sebkkom/status/1015246317096927232). Utterly ridiculous for a company of its calibre and a service of its size and importance, to say the least.

Despite me getting the hell out of it, I would like to say a big “thank you” to Yggiz who is the person that hacked the account for not causing any financial or personal damage and for showing me a couple of very weak, in terms of security, spots here and there.

sebkomianos··on Ask HN: How do I prove that a certain Gmail account does indeed belong to me?
Whoever hacked my account removed all the recovery options.
sebkomianos··on Ask HN: How do I prove that a certain Gmail account does indeed belong to me?
I can but I don't want it to look like I am brute-forcing it.
sebkomianos··on Ask HN: How do I prove that a certain Gmail account does indeed belong to me?
Noted, thank you!
sebkomianos··on Ask HN: How do I prove that a certain Gmail account does indeed belong to me?
I've tried a couple of different months in 2007 but none turned out to be the correct one.
sebkomianos··on Ask HN: How do I prove that a certain Gmail account does indeed belong to me?
This is relieving to read, I hope it works. Thanks for the reply and the wish, will definitely update as soon as I have some news!

sebkomianos··on AlphaGo Beats Lee Sedol in Final Game
Excuse my most probably naive approach at this but aren't such games very unfair at this point? AlphaGo has been trained with data provided by humans while Lee Sedol played against an AI opponent of such calibre for the first time, no? Is it a false assumption that with the right training humans will take the upper hand again?
sebkomianos··on Ask HN: What are you working on and why is it awesome? Please include URL
Good luck with that, I really like your motives behind it.
sebkomianos··on A lot happens
I am not sure about which society you are talking about; the one I live in considers personal success to be much more important than "love".
