While the current formulation details of the pilot wave theory doesn't allow for new predictions, a better formulated one will. I strongly believe we'll see the breakthrough in the coming 10-15 years. Quantum mechanics are statist

Yes it is. The author presents his dogma as the one and only truth, which you're not allowed to deny if you want to be a "scientist". It's similar to labelling people as climate change "deniers" and "anti-

The author actually argues that one of the reasons is "the bible isn't funny"? My own guess would have to do primarily with nepotism and secondarily with the appeal of a different perspective of a foreign culture to an Americ

Yeah, some of that sounds way too far-fetched.

Great article but it went on for too long without providing any additional information.

I think they mainly do it for cheaper-per-shot defence against badly equipped armies. Which means they don't like spending a lot of bullets on the phalanx system to counter enemy artilety in middle east, and it doesn't rain much i

They're not the same type of mistake. I don't remember the deteails, but when I was reading papers on caption generation, the part of producing coherent sentences seemed more like a hack that happens to kinda work (usually) rather

Syria and Georgia are primarily Russia's fault, no doubt. They definitely aren't saints. However that's irrelevant to what happened in Ukraine. Imagine if Russia stationed a bunch of floating long-range missile batteries righ

You can't undo the past but you can safeguard the future. Besides, if facebook goes bankrupt with heavy legislation demanding the destruction of user data and not allowing their exchange as assets, they will eventually be deleted, alon

Project Pluto was abandoned for many other reasons too. Cruize missiles didn't have to be powered by a nuclear ramjet. Although at the time there was no defence against them, there is now. Developing it will be expensive, and the syste

You can now deliver your propaganda in war-stricken countries with limited bandwidth. Neat.

The sad part is that they're kind of right in doing so. NATO went too far with deploying anti-ICBM systems right next to Russia's border (with the Ukraine conflict being the most obvious result of this strategy) essentially nullif

Right now the systems in public domain reach 97% accuracy. Facebook doesn't need you, even if you get a million people to try to "trick" the system, you won't do anything. The verification is to fine-tune it. By the way,

It doesn't work that way. They can see that you tag wrong too many people, and you're obviously an outlier, so your data is rejected. The only way you can "win" is by deleting facebook and pushing for better data protect

“I think that’s very far-fetched.” She thinks wrong. I don't see why her unsubstantiated opinion is different than anyone elses.

Does PRISM count as due process? I get how americans could be biased thinking "I live here and nothing has happened to me", but that's a very naive mode of thinking. Masking strategic actions under the "just helping you

The Chinese government is right to require all of it's citizens data to be stored in domestic datacenters. The danger of the Chinese government accessing your data is 1) Non-existent if you didn't declare you're Chinese 2) N

Also a lot of surviving websites are no longer so accessible. ie Youtube and reddit comments, panoramio pictures (which google kept but you can't see, even if you took them), even capturing a large amount of tweets is pretty hard right

Also if you're so protective and perfectionist you're not going to actually go through with anything, especially something as risky as fraud. And honestly, when you need something to just work and work right now, you're willi

You don't even know how votes are counted yet you're trying to argue about the subject. Guess what, you can't DDoS polling stations with your "agents" and competing parties do not collude. Collude to do what? Lose t

I like how they compare a teenager's risk of contracting AIDS with a 10 year old, but not with a 30 year old. Nice cherry-picking. All I see is an article trying to explain risk-taking of the youth as a pathology. You might agree with

It's budget has been less than $2B/year consistently for almost 2 decades. That's pretty low for a space station. Other countries do put up according to their budget, they don't all have a $19 trillion GDP.

It's never over. If you ignore it, it keeps getting worse. Organize and act. Vote with your money. Boycott. Vote appropriately.

The ISS is in fact not very productive in terms of research, but it's running costs are relatively small and if it gets shut down, the next space station will cost incredible amounts of money, and it's possible that much of the cu

These threads about China are full of passive-agressive comments, many of which are so delusional it's sad. Yes, China might be a threat. I'm not American but I'm in Europe and if the US empire falls I'll be in trouble t

With the old media everyone got the same story. It wasn't assumed to be true, because you knew who was saying this (it's hard for a large newpaper to hide their political affiliation), and the news piece was judged by other report
