These studies were conducted along political axis lines, "liberal versus conservative". However, most arguments that are being employed in politics are not hard to invalidate in the strict sense by application of formal logic and

I will concede the point that I am not qualified in aircraft engineering, just in autonomous systems, which is a kind of meeting ground here. I have seen way too many people getting over enthusiastic about the capabilities of autonomous sys

So, all it takes is one malfunctioning sensor, which luckily does not happen very often. Add an autopilot which slavishly follows the faulty sensor, as only computers can do so well. Plus two confused pilots, trained to rely on autopilots,

It reminded me of how I once got into hot water with the Boss over introducing a binary search into their huge customer file search and update operation, which used to take three hours to run. When the program stopped in five minutes, every

As a life-long meditator, I have this to say: the conclusion, emphasising "less attached view of the self" is absolutely right. There is a strong correlation of this with "olympic level" meditation. However, it is genera

Well, there is some sense to this. Supposing TSHTF event happens and it is a nuclear war, there is a good chance that Western Australia will be passed over in everyone's haste to kill off more threatening enemy targets first.

That is true. I have used Jekyll but having to study obscure settings files and complex directory structures is not enjoyable when all you really want to do is to get on with writing your blog.

Bug solved, sorry, ignore all my previous comments. I had done a stupid thing: I forgot to change the command window.texme = { style:'none'} to window.mdme = { style:'none'} when I started using mdme. That is why it w

What I have done is to take you at your word that even valid html does not need <body></body> and combined your examples of "valid html5" and "style=none" but it then failed to apply my own style to &lt

I tried and it does not work with the custom formatting. Could we have that too?

This is a godsend to anyone who just wants to publish markdown blogs (with some maths) etc in the simplest possible way on a static website. I know, the proper way is supposed to be to use Jekyll or Hugo or something like that, to compile t

You are right of course and that is why I said they will still be very lucky to get out alive. They don't even know how to swim and must be quite weak already. Somehow I do not see keeping them there till September, with water levels p

I assume it was his decision to take all those children down there, so it was not beyond his control. Did he at least check the weather forecast? If my comment was designed to provoke, then it was to provoke people to think. We need to be a

"None of them can swim" Great idea to take them down into a flooded cave in rainy season. Even though now found, they will still be very lucky to get out alive. How? I think it is the case of learn to swim and dive right down ther

"4) He is partnering with capitalists to try to achieve an anarchist vision. This is a contradiction in terms. Capitalism is about competition for the working class (i.e. users), domination and centralization." I disagree with you

Clearly it is the difference between the two numbers plus one if both are to be included in the result and the difference minus one if both are excluded. That is because the conventional difference excludes the one being subtracted but incl

The problem is not with memory but with the fact that it is just too easy, too tempting and too profitable to run Ponzi schemes, especially one as big as this. Plus, as any banker would tell you, he who does not steal is robbing his own fam

"It presumes you could replace the flash inventor with another engineer for about the same salary." Yes, you can, if you already own his patent and do not expect him to invent anything else. It seems that is how the management loo

Are teeth more important than brain? Only when your real interest is to sell more sugary drinks and processed sugary foods. Sugar is cheap and addictive and if you somehow fix the tooth decay, it is your "perfect product". Serious

It is a pity that the expensive colleges don't at least teach their students about the principles and practice of usury.

The point is simply that the school is now at risk of huge fines, so in turn it puts pressure on parents to sign as strong as possible waivers. Not many people here seem to understand it but that is what is happening. The force is of purely

"freely given" is not a very clear concept in these circumstances. Parents do not want to antagonise the school and/or put their child at some kind of disadvantage, so they sign. Is that still "freely given"? It loo

I have difficulty in understanding your language and in following your logic. Surely, signing away the rights to your records for over 50 years can not be better for you than not signing them?

I am concerned that the effect of this legislation on the private individual is the opposite of the stated intention. People are being forced to sign agreements which jeopardise the natural rights to their data which they would otherwise ha

I think the upbeat conclusion trying to downplay the dangers of Fukushima is misleading. The long term escape of large amounts of radioactive materials at Fukushima is a very different situation to Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In fact, it is a l

Yes, I should have said bubble, like the original tulip bulbs. At least the tulips did have some aesthetic value. There is recruitment reward: buying early, hyping up modern "art" and making a profit.

I am struck by a thought: isn't this just yet another kind of a pyramid scheme?
