No, I doubt he changed his opinion. You're totally right, I misremembered a personal conversation with him where we discussed this principle. Quite embarrassing! It appears that I would defend the traditional falsity condition, like ot

I was presenting Andreas Stokke's theory, insofar as I remember it from personal conversation. He is a professor at Uppsala University now and started out his approach with a publication in the Journal of Philosophy. I used to defend y

"possible" does not imply "likely". It was always a possibility, the only thing we know with relative certainty is that it originated from near Wuhan and that the virus is not engineered. But it could have been lab grown

Not really, if you think about it, lying is knowingly saying what you believe to be false and what you say is also false. If what you say is accidentally true, then you tried to lie but failed. If you misdirect someone by saying the truth

My personal reasons as someone who has learned the language quite intensively but ultimately decided not to use it: (i) Vendor lock-in and too much future dependence on Adacore (other commercial Ada compilers do not count as alternatives to

What's even worse about this is that intelligence agencies are highly suspect of outsourcing surveillance that would be illegal for them to conduct (e.g. because it's on their own citizens on their home soil) to allied intelligenc

I wish I could agree but you're misrepresenting history and fail entirely to understand the UN's main purpose. Not just the failure of the League of Nations was reason for the founding of the UN, it was definitely also designed as

That was a French intelligence action on foreign soil, so it really can't tell you much about France's willingness to retaliate against foreign intelligence actions against their own citizens.

If I may ask: What use do you think the UN should have? Should it be like a military force? Should it be a world government? I'm asking because the UN has arguably more power and influence now than it had during Cold War, although its

That's not true, there were plenty of mainstream media reports of these suspicions and the vast majority of them were correctly pointing out the same as they are pointing out today, namely that there is no concrete evidence for the the

The way I understand it, GP's thesis was that "think of the children" has always been mostly just a slogan for Christian moralists to prevent "sin" and hasn't involved really thinking about what's best for

I was wondering about that, too. Last time I checked SBCL binaries weren't exactly small, more around 40MB.

Personally, I do "formal philosophy" at least to some extent/in some papers, i.e., lots of logic, decision theory, a bit of applied mathematics. This kind of analytic philosophy superficially looks like science, at least to p

Maybe linguistics vs. philosophy is a good example. They are not too different from each other and I've studied both of them. My impression has always been that male vs. female linguistics professors were roughly 50:50, whereas at leas

That comment seems to be based on a misunderstanding of what "framing" means. Framing pertains to different ways of expressing the same facts, for example the glass is half empty vs. the glas is half full . Whether you consider

Creationism has nothing to do with science, neither has ideology any place in science, and you've really got to draw the limit somewhere more reasonable. I don't want my taxes to pay "research" in creationism, morphogene

Well, the whole point of encrypted home directories is to secure the data when the user is not logged in and does not attend the machine...

Okay, okay. You insinuated nothing. I stand corrected. Just a little side note: You didn't need root for the exploit, it was also trivial to boot from a CD or another OS to get the passphrase from the page file. Basically it meant that

by 13415 6y ago
You insinuated it, though, by claiming that it wasn't a security problem as it required root. If you think failure to encrypt (leaking the passphrase) is not a problem because the exploit requires root, then you understand absolutely n

You primarily come across as someone who hasn't read Eco's influential essay or doesn't want to talk about it and instead makes up various straw man arguments. Eco describes fascism very well, based on personal experience wit
