It think this linguistic approach remains very superficial in that it only targets vocabulary and ways to represent it and to translate it. It does not tackle the "deep structure" the grammar that underlies and, in my belief, dete

What is concerning to me is the shrinking genetic variability involved in long-term in-breeding. That is, logically, a rather important issue.

And that is also incorrect in assuming a strict hunter-gatherer mode of production. Husbandry and some agriculture were part of the late hunter-gatherer people's life, as seen in Scandinavia for example, and this does not necessarily m

Agreed. And it seems even worse with the outfit they took the story (and the title) from.

It seems that this could be generalized to "as measurement gets more precise, what is being measured appears more fuzzy". This begins to define a sort of law and a sort of epistemological "wall" we have been bumping agai

Interesting discussion, and therefore, logically, interesting post. Oddly, I begin to wonder whether a variation on a bet system wouldn't be useful. Flagging or up-voting don't come with any cost attached. The only current cost I

The analog computation of dendrites looks like a very big deal. Is it about weight or something else?

Seconding that. I have a hard time understanding why professionals would look down on an OS that gives the user pretty much all the power, which, let's remember was the seminal idea of personal computing. Interestingly, Linux comments

I have 200 hours in a 150 and I'm your height. You'll get used to it. Keep in mind that the 150/2 is a better training plane than the 172. It will teach you to respect the rudder and the crosswinds, while a 172 is forgiving t

Personally, I am more interested in books that "no one understands" or "everyone dislikes". It might be because they are really badly written or conceived. I might also be because they bring something really new and&#x2F

My thoughts exactly. The coolest skyscapes ever! On edit: This also reminds me of U. LeGuin's system in the dispossessed.

I would think that one could find a function giving efficiency of gerrymandering as a function of the number of parties involved. Obviously, f(1) = 0.

1- the differences between various types of ETOH is one major confounding variable. The benefits of red wine vs. moonshine, both in "moderate" amount, are likely to be widely different. 2- If you control for wealth, you also likel

Philosophy didn't become irrational on its own. It took Karl Marx's work to thoroughly debunked it as such (e.g. Manuscripts of 1844). At least the action and moral parts. The knowledge aspect remained open to speculation and refl

I'd say anger. Close second, denial. I am aware that these two aspects are at the very bottom of the generally accepted lists but they have been and still are my only way outs. Anger provides the juice, denial a sense of limitless opti

Knowledge is seen as dangerous by people holding power over others. It always has been (e.g. the apple thing). Therefore, in an age where knowledge is more readily accessible to a much larger number of people, it behoves the groups in power

I remember coming across a site a few years ago, whose owner would kick out anyone who posted without proper grammar or spelling. To preserve the word I think there also needs to be some form of enforcement.

Elegant! At first I thought there was an error between micro- and milli-seconds. But no... File search would be great indeed!

And I'm wondering whether this has something to do with the rhythm of language... The heart-beat would give the baseline but language would create different patterns...??
