Or put cowcatchers on the busses and drive right on through the bus lane. Sure you can legally park there, and you can get your car legally demolished in a bus collision.

I’m not sure what you mean by “whole creationism.” Do you mean a transcendent God who exists outside spacetime and created it ex nihilo? The three Abrahamic faiths definitely believe that. However there are other faiths that believe spaceti

The overwhelming majority of human beings both now and throughout history are creationists. Heck, it's such a popular idea that techies have reinvented it by saying we live in a simulation, which obviously implies one or more creators.

This is, to my half American ears, bizarre prescriptivism. We pronounce NASA as “nasa” and UUID as “yoo-id” (and GUID as “goo-id). And ID is pronounced “eye-dee.” And of course we pronounce OK (short for “oll korrect”) as “okay.”

I don’t know much about bridge, but ny understanding is that you can legally “cheat” by embedding information in the plays you make. So I guess there is a kind of tension between basic optimal play and communicating effectively with your pa

Discord is a cancer. While I don’t understand the appeal, I’ve been around long enough to no longer be surprised by people sacrificing control of their information for trivial short term gain.

This paper[1] discusses “termination detection” which consensus can directly be built on with trivial proof. It assumes a single environment, and while mathematically that is a kind of graph node it really maps to all outside sources of inp

I really just want a 200ish dpi monitor that’s the size of a full wall whiteboard. Say something like 10 feet tall and 20 feet long. Touchscreen of course, but with alternate inputs too.

Why should an ISP know more about a child’s Internet activity than the parents? For what it’s worth my personal philosophy would be trust, but verify. That necessarily entails some way to verify. Furthermore, in many jurisdictions parents a

It’s unfortunate that semiotic has become a joke word. C.S. Peirce did seminal work tying it to logic.

Yep. So long as you separate concerns well it’s quite doable. The heavy lifting is deciding how to turn roguelike tiles into MUD rooms, or vice versa. There were some MUDs doing procedural content back in the ‘90s, and others that had a min

No, I don’t. Also that’s how we prove literally anything. There is always a model, because we don’t have direct access to reality. So if your bar is that high you’re going to have to call climate change and relativity a bit of an overreach

Indeed. And it generalizes. Good managers generally believe in second chances, because if they saw enough to give a first chance it’s worth the risk. Third chances on the other hand not so much.

In the Socratic/Platonic/Aristotelian most high God paradigm this is trivially simple. Good is logically equivalent to that which God approves of (see Euthyphro). Thus by the definition of free will it’s a logical consequence that
