I think it's somewhat poetic that the first document you get for your fake identity is the first one you get for your real one.

"No pants should need a belt to stay on your hips." So I suppose I should quit pants altogether, or only wear pants with elastics, since I can't find pants long enough for my legs that don't fall off anywhere. I have o

Well, that assertion by Assange is somewhat out of context. What he said is that of the medium sized Latin American countries, Argentina's surveillance was the most aggressive. He also said it was nothing compared with what's bein

Are we talking about the judicial system reform? I believe the current system of choosing the magistrate is quite bad, but the alternative that's being suggested is rife with it's own problems. As such, I don't think it'

But the any constitution may have(read, HAS) things that are wrong. Constitutions were written by people too. People are fallible, and the possibility exists that going against what they wrote ten-score years ago is just plain wrong, and go

It hasn't for the last seven years? Other than the arrival of SSDs, the consoles were running on a half-decade old tech and still doing fine. If anything, tech seems to be moving slower lately, with less increase of processor powers an

What I see is things improving from the bottom up instead of from the top down, for the first time in a very long time. For people who are nearer to the top (and this includes a large sector of the middle classes that looks up to the top pe

Arguably, the situation in Argentina improved a lot after a the 2001 protests. I'm not a great fan of teh current government, but I think they are adequate. And I don't think we've had an adequate government sin the 60s. If a

Hobbes made a case for that in Leviathan. It's certainly not a new idea.

Just in case you don't know, cocoa and coca are two very different plants. Cocoa (or cacao) is the one chocolate comes from, and I'm pretty sure you can own leafs of that.

What do you do about the homeless and the people who live in precarious houses that don't really have an address? Or do they not exist in Germany, via public housing or something like that?

For problems like that, I can't help but wonder if some day we'll discover that we are just not searching for the solution in the proper "language". Maybe some day someone will find a problem isomorphic the the for-color problem in a differ

My Logics professor said once to em that even though there are many proofs for a given theorem, there's generally only one that feels like the "natural" explanation of why a thing is how it is, the one that really explains why. I think man

You don't get to decide what's culture and what's not. The world would be a much bleaker place without the likes of Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, The X-Files, Lost, or Adventure Time.

What's more, should any power try to correct this, it's in the hand of the media to demonize this power in the public eye. We are currently living such a situation in Argentina, where the greatest agglutinant of the opposition to the curren

"Dude" works for women. How else are you going to call a female person in her late twenties? "Woman" is way too formal for many settings, "girl" can imply that you think she's not mature, and "gal" is just... no. If anyone has a better alte

I think for most questions that are not very straight forward, IFQ would be a valid answer with only very little argumentation. That's why formal languages are needed.

Quake III's AI not only receives but also gives commands by chat. If you enter a team full of bots, you can see them talk to each other and "plan" to a certain extent.

Most of the games by Wadjet Eye are great. I specially recommend Gemini Rue. Also, almost anything by Ben Chandler[2], but that's usually short form. My favorite is Eternally Us[3]( I know, yucks at the name, but it's a beautiful game). And

>>>Fitting them to roughly sentence formats is one possibility (e.g. adj noun verb noun), so that we can visualize something happening. That "mad-libs" method does reduce entropy quite a bit. I don't know if it reduces it enough

"the sum across the appropriate universe" for Reals is an integral. An integral can go from -Infinite to Infinite and still equal 1. This is the reason, for instance, why Zeno's Paradox of movement doesn't really forbid all movement.

My guess is that it has huge visibility and no moderation. There's almost no chance of your comment being deleted, no matter how vile, stupid or offensive it is, and it's in one of the biggest places of the internet. It's like doing graffit
