If I had the choice between saving Millions of lives vs. being a supposedly more interesting person, I'd save the lives.

If we have a superior intelligence replace us, we'd prefer that it not be a cluster of Daleks. If future intelligences didn't experience happiness or whatever we find valuable, then the future of the universe could be quite sub-optimal according to many philosophical stances.

The danger isn't that humans will be replaced, it's that we'll be replaced by a paperclip maximizer

That video looks fantastic.

Thank you so much for working on this. Recently I've been experiencing significant repetitive stress. I am using a kinesis advantage keyboard and recently worked with a few physical therapists. I still feel pain.

I really like that by learning Plover, I may not only be reducing pain, but actually become a faster typer and coder. I just ordered a sidewinder keyboard, and I look forward to trying out this soon. I am prepared for a long learning curve, but by this point I am used to it and it seems like it will be worth the cost.

Completely agree. I found Thiel's book very preachy and strange. Liked the lecture notes a lot more, because they were more detailed and thorough. The Hard Thing is the most depressing book about being a CEO, but that makes it refreshing and interesting to me.

Life game.

Graphics: 9/10 Pretty good, shadows and lighting effects portrayed quite well. Some really strange pixelation going on though. It's on a very small scale, but still noticeable with the right instruments and upsetting to the general public.

Sound: 6/10 Fantastic variety. Only works well for the first 2/3rds of the game or so, then becomes quite buggy.

Story: 2/10 It's not obvious if there is really a story going on here. Most players experience relatively little classical narrative, and that which does exist seems quite randomly or recklessly placed, possibly completely contrived from otherwise non-storylike events.

Multiplayer: 5/10 A wide variety of things to do with others, but many of them are considered quite boring or uninteresting. The gameplay mechanics sometimes seem to encourage active hostility or selfishness between players, which seems clearly suboptimal.

Just curious; I've read that energy takes quite a bit of non-salt water to produce. Energy can be used to create clean water by desalinization, but I believe I read that this still creates less clean water than the clean water needed to produce that energy (though this can be done in a very different area. Would anyone here happen to be familiar with the basic numbers here?

I know the team and recommend them highly. If you're in San Francisco and are looking for work, it's a pretty great option.

Quite nice for a hackathon.

Some comments: 1) Want to choose a price range. $3k for a jacket? 2) When I click "Like", the animation to get a copy of a new one should be the same as when I click "Dislike", or at least in the same direction. I expect new items to always come from the right, them coming from the left in some cases is strange to me. 3) The default example "men's skinny jeans" should work as-is. It would also be useful if there were a button "Choose" or something on the home page.

This is one patent I really hope gets used in litigation.
