  If we're Turing Complete doesn't that mean there is nothing supposable that we are not capable of supposing?

    Nothing in the physical universe is Turing complete. No unbounded memory.

      That just makes anything that can't be supposed, using the data storage capacity of the observable universe, not supposable.

  Hey there - I was unable to comment on an old post of your for some reason. To be discreet... Do you still work at the company where you played violin lessons one night in your office and Mr. Smith heard? :) If so, look me up. Last name, Veach. I work in GPE. I have a question for you.

    Is this spam?

      No. I saw one of his/her comments regarding something that happened at this company. He spoke with a lot of knowledge about something that I am working on.. It was totally random that I found the post. I was doing a google search for information regarding our biggest competition, and it came up. I just created a profile so I could comment. I don't know much about this website, so I'm sorry if my comment isn't ok. If he still has access to the employee database, he will be able to look me up by my last name.

    Naw, I left for grad school a long time ago. When I was a B-school prof, one of my students was getting a pilot's license and asked me to contact FedEx for him, and I did. I got a note back from Smith that FedEx would welcome the application from the student but had a long list of pilot applications.

      Dang! Your post was so well-informed. Oh well, if you ever come back, look me up!
