I LOVED Majesty, getting high level wizards was my favorite thing, and could honestly be quite tricky considering how blatantly suicidal they often were. XD The saddest part was encountering enemy units who had magic reflection.

Oh now, what nonsense. We're not talking about spontaneously manifesting outside of the "sandbox," we're talking about simulated objects/intelligences comprehending the medium in which they are simulated and then l

See, I'm with you in the primary portion of this statement- if we're in a simulation, it doesn't make us any less 'real' - it doesn't matter whether I'm made of atoms or the stray thoughts of a passing hor

You're committing a critical fallacy here, you're making it sound like this has to be a "virtually non-existent regulation" situation or a circumstance like Zen Magnets went through. The CPSC and related regulators CAN r

In response to [0], I believe there are a LOT of folks who actually did precisely that.

You are absolutely correct. The fact and reality that you are absolutely correct is a HUGE PART of the ENTIRE REASON why software startups so frequently outperform large incumbent companies with greater resources, support, investment, and t

Great example! Without context and potentially experience, you might not understand that the helicopter you see upside down in that tree experienced critical mechanical failures, and the pilot saved the lives of himself and the crew by get

With that in mind, my earlier post there, about the devastatingly horrible status of restaurants where desserts become known as bad, well, that's likely inaccurate, I must apologize for being mistaken there! :)

See, now, the thing is, Occam's razor would, when you use my experience on the internet to train it as a heuristic, absolutely, 100% tell me that you were being a mean, stupid, malicious sack of excrement in this case, because ALL of t

You tell that to anyone who has ever been falsely accused of anything, and ask them if the invalidity of the accusation led to the experience of being accused, questioned, tried, and then found innocent being describable with the word &quot

Well, the problem here is apparently one of human relations. You are absolutely, 100% remiss to expect that, when you state "it is tempting to draw that conclusion," that you are actually stopping short of drawing that conclusion

In terms of reputation, you may well be correct, but then thinking of the restaurant's bottom line, the generally agreed-upon admonition , "Don't bother ordering dessert there," is a devastatingly horrible outcome.

Possibly because they're molecular biologists, geneticists, and bioinformaticians who study the specific interaction of amphetamines with specially bred mice and observe markedly different responses in the amphetamine dosed knockout mi

Hmm... I intended this to be understanding of the situation, but scathing in tone - as in, "FDA, at least to us, this makes it look like you are engaging in 'Diabolical Action Z,' and we don't really have a good way to d

Of COURSE we do, half of the websites you visit these days will crash the browser regularly if you don't use an ad-blocker! (half is probably an overstatement ;) Nevertheless, I was resolutely trying to be 'moral' and not u

I work in biomedical informatics, genetics background, and your friend is technically correct and MONSTROUSLY WRONG. Bacterial populations that develop these resistances are certainly self limiting to a small extent - the resistance makes t

See, I do feel for the FDA. Trying to message things properly is like trying to send a smoke signal in a hurricane. When, for any given thing you want to regulate, there are 4 incredibly wealthy special interest groups trying to warp you

No no no, we people who come under its umbrella wish that it wasn't a FOX guarding the henhouse, but rather, a reliable dog. Instead, if we extend the metaphor, the fox that's guarding the henhouse is taking measure to make sure

This, this right here is the EXACT situation that causes all the bioinformatics guys to be EXTREMELY NERVOUS using biological analogies like neurons for machine learning topics. They are NOT actually analogous except in the shallowest ways

Whoops!!! I think I must've opened the page of frenzy of tab-opening, but then either not return to it, or closed it immediately without realizing what it was - that link has been visited, but I clearly didn't check it for the de

I don't really get to term myself an environmentalist at all, because I'm absolutely in favor of a "stewardship" model of using the earth's resources- meaning, in this case, that if we see fit to set the equilibrium

I read in that wiki article that the data from Russ George's efforts discussed in the OP article - that all that data was opened to the public in 2014 - but I can't find the data so far. Do you know where it might be found?

I'm flabbergasted at this, as well. It talks in the article about the attitude this guy takes, "Don't say what SHOULD happen, look at the data, let the data talk to you and tell you what's going on!" With the cavea

I read this, and this feels like good advice, and then also seems like good advice, I think it might actually be good advice - which is sometimes hard to come by when it comes to questions like "How can I network more effectively?&

Okay, I am not an expert, but I have read several UNSYMPATHETIC accounts of Snowdon's actions that specifically and categorically contradict what you say here when you assert that "He ignored the legal process for raising his conc

It's almost frightening to me that the Hardy of the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium could be writing this. It's part of a healthy understanding of genetics at all!

What I think the parent poster is saying is that in hindsight, you can easily say which customers you were right to pivot for and which your were wrong to pivot for, but going in from the front no one, and I mean NO ONE can actually, rea

I call bullshit! And it's not because of the teleological implication you're making - it's because you're overfitting a pattern - limited existence - where you have no data to observe the correctness of your conclusio

Insinuating that it's merely a tactic to silence debate of architectural principles strikes me as an effective way to curtail discussion of the use of architecture to signal class. I wonder how deep the rabbit hole goes?! :D For my par
