Ah, yes. That makes a lot more sense than how I was thinking about it. It would still be marginally better than just attempting to validate the code in expected languages because it would probably handle typos and other simple syntax erro

I get the point of wanting to be able to address scenarios that you haven't seen before, but in this particular instance, is it really that much help to be able to classify a program that isn't technically written in any programmi

Man, I mean I'm normally skeptical about anything I can find.. but what's the use in being skeptical about something like this? It's just a feel good anecdote from an excited mother. Even if the kid wasn't autistic and

I guess I just don't know how many flashing warnings somebody has to ignore for it to finally be their fault.. At some point, their unwillingness to change their natural inclinations in the face of overwhelming evidence that they need

I tend to believe it's more inherent than generational. It's been around all throughout the course of history in some form or another. My armchair rationalization is that humans are social creatures and form these groups (where

I believe that your experiences are somewhat related to the apologist behavior he mentions in the first paragraph. I'm easy going as well and I've never been terribly bothered by people mistaking me for somebody else as a result.

Assuming we stick with the same conditions as in this case, I'd call an innocent life taken due to a driver disregarding all warnings from his system negligence . That also fits with what this driver was ticketed with which was reckl

It's not lulling anybody into anything! The guy was given multiple warnings by the car that what he was doing was unsafe. The last of which was extremely pertinent to the crash. To quote the article, "As road conditions became

Interesting anecdote, although, as I never get tired of stressing, other people do exist and have different experiences. People are kept alive all the time by medicinal techniques that have been developed and just because your doctor visit

If we're comparing to the average prisoner then it filters out a lot of the chaff that you were suggesting (like parking tickets, which you do not go to prison for). I agree it's not a perfect metric, but it makes more sense th

Not necessarily true. You have to challenge it to find out if it's enforceable in many scenarios, and it might act as a deterrent as well. Even a widely known unenforceable clause can deter someone who doesn't previously know th

There are lots of assumptions about complex interactions here. I'd say this is more speculation/thought experiment realm than an inductive proof. Not that I disagree with the sentiment in your post per se, just whether or not it

Carry a credit card and pay that off monthly so as not to accrue interest. This way the only thing that could potentially be "seized" is your access to a line of credit. Now, I'd normally say that there is no way they cou

The state refunds it to you, the 7.7% percent is the fee the state paid in order to withhold your funds so conveniently. The trick is you have to prove that those withheld funds are wrongfully withheld (the burden of proof is on the accuse

I think this metaphor might actually be able to be stretched a little more. Even as an organism purposed only to serve us, the fact that us humans change means that we're likely to be better served by something that can change with us

Hmmm, based on his other problem, my speculation would be that not areas have the exact same printer tones with the same hex/rgb values in software? It does seem a bit strange if that were the case though.

Maybe, maybe not. My education is not in biology or medicine, so I cannot really speak well on the dominant factors in how a drug affects any given person.

And therein lies the problem with making generalizations from single data points. Supposedly I have ADHD as well (I'm diagnosed such at least), and I generally become more mellow after taking adderall. I think the moral of this furth

Seriously. I worried about the potential interaction between my prescribed adderall and alcohol for a long while, and usually deferred to not taking them anywhere near at the same time, but I found no evidence to suggest that the two had a

Not trying to disregard this sentiment present in the thread, but I could easily see it having the same physical effects, but how exactly do they quantify how it affects your brain processes and how you feel. Anecdotally, I knew some people

I've thought about this as well.. It's certainly an interesting response to BI that I don't think is debated enough. My thoughts on the matter is that regulation on how the money is spent is only necessary in the cases where

That was precisely my point. What to do isn't the problem, as you pointed out so succinctly, it's really easy to solve this problem technically . What's the issue here? People and businesses they own aren't followi

that's because it doesn't seem to be a technical hurdle, it seems like it's a social issue. We, as a species, haven't proven terribly adept at handling those yet.

I also agree with the sibling post on this one, but another line of reasoning is that when texting pictures or other forms of sending, the default option is that the photo is saved. When using snapchat it's the opposite. Screenshotti

Ah. Well it seems we agree almost entirely, to be clear, before I was not really talking within the context of forming laws, but more on individual interaction. I generally agree on the foisting of beliefs onto people, but have found that
