Dating has multiple different meanings in English. Not only do I know this, but you're attempt to correct me is a re-statement of what I said in my own post: dating can refer to the process of finding someone to begin dating. Online da

No. Content recommendation algorithms reward engagement metrics. One of the metrics they reward is getting a user's attention, briefly. In the real world, someone can get my attention by screaming that there is a fire. Belief that ther

The outrage is enormous because the public comment period involved massive identity theft and fake comments. The position of the corruption of the comments matched the minority position. That position was echoed in the FCC. Then the guy goe

A licensing process is different from having a license. I know plenty of companies use open source software. There is no real process for something using something with an MIT license. You can just use it. As someone who has worked as a pro

Don't take all the feedback in the thread to heart. The fact of the matter is that even if you were more condescending than you desired to be, the joke in this thread about plumbers and pipes is also true. The end of the chain really d

But the person claimed that all libraries would be uniform when he said his expectation was that it would happen to any library. Therefore, he was wrong. The person you were correcting was right and you provided additional useful context.

It isn't nihilistic. It is honest. We do owe it to ourselves to acknowledge that reality continues to exist. So in keeping with that, it makes sense to acknowledge that in reality these fact checking websites can be compromised. They a

I'm more curious about a different idea. If you hook up electrodes to a tongue and then start activating its sensors according to the amount of light being received, people quickly develop the ability to see via their tongue. So what h

I think from the evolutionary perspective, being active during a time of low fitness gets punished. So if there was an adaption that tended to paralyze something when it was dark out, that gets selected for even though obviously given optim

Yeah. I get that. I just don't think the take-away of this was as long as you sound-proof a room, you are probably golden. It would be reasonable to have thought that an undisclosed location with no visible landmarks was fine. It wasn&

I don't think it would. I think what this actually shows is the opposite may be true even when it seems absurd to think that way. Crazy things might be used to locate you: - Picture surfaces of person planning to do the live stream hop

You are a human. You are capable of going to a different planet. Communicating with me over a temporal and spacial gap is trivial to you. You are likely a programmer; creating tools which allow for that communication is within your ability.

This is incorrect. Assume nested virtualization. Extrapolate to infinity. On a computer, understood to be one like ours, it follows that there is now a machine that executes in finite steps will have arrived past infinity. Moreover, there a

But then we are back to the initial problem: we are just guessing how many people we are going to date. So its still not really true that the math supports it when dating in actual reality. There is no reason to choose two, three, four, or

The math can't really tell you to settle down: it assumes future knowledge as to the number of people you are going to end up dating. Then in the same breath it suggests a strategy which will yield a stopping point that is less than th
