Director of Technology for Refund Retriever. Fancy title, but I'm just the Chief Nerd that runs code, architecture, ops, etc... Used most languages the serve up web traffic since 1999, but mostly Ruby, Javascript, and ColdFusion/CFML.

Whatever opinions I express here are mine alone, and don't reflect those of my employer.

My HN username is how you'll find me pretty much everywhere else.

Then they did the same thing to a lesser degree with "360", including the Xbox.

I know you had to edit the title for length, but I think it would have made more sense to lose the first part and keep the factual part of the title intact, as it's pretty hard to make grammatical sense out of it as edited

"Untaxed Wealth of Richest 0.1% Is More Than Assets of World’s Poorest Half"

I probably won't comment further, since as you said this is very off-topic (I only meant to draw out an analogy as to why discussions about AI tend to be ideologically skewed), but every statistic I've seen shows far lower crime rates among illegal immigrants versus citizens (aside from the statutory crime of being in the country illegally).

The same reason some use crime committed by illegal immigrants to push action, while ignoring the fact that citizens are more likely percentage-wise to commit those same crimes. It's confirmation bias at the least, and intellectual dishonesty at the worst, but either way, they want their worldview to be validated.

From the Wikipedia article:

Clifford Stoll, author of The Cuckoo's Egg, wrote that "Rumors have it that [Morris] worked with a friend or two at Harvard's computing department (Harvard student Paul Graham sent him mail asking for 'Any news on the brilliant project')".
