You're completely missing everything outside the ontological category of "things that can be broken apart into stuff that I can identify with a microscope". Realistically this conversation is a science vs. religion argument t

I must not have made my point very well. People have experiences which aren't material, physical experiences. Is it all in their heads? Most of it. Does that mean it's not real? No, there are things that exist beyond regular every

Oh come on, this isn't how any of this works. We don't have PK Meters like in Ghostbusters. If you want to adopt a positivist worldview, then none of this is possible or real. Some people come to the conclusion that determinative

I was actually in France last year, and arrived having lost (in transit; baggage handlers) some medicine for my son which had been prescribed in the UK by our GP the previous day, as he'd had stomach symptoms. I contacted the local Fre

If you're in the UK (you used "GP", so I'm guessing), then you absolutely can. Just go private. ( https://www.nhs.uk/common-health-questions/nhs-services-and-... ). Don't bother with the NHS, it&

It's fascinating to ruminate on how that relationship would have developed over tens of thousands of years if it had been sustainable.

There seems to be a fairly huge non-sequitur in the middle of the article: Homicides have fallen, but people say they believe crime has risen in their area, therefore perception is wrong. It's entirely possible that homicide has fallen

Did the BBC miss an opportunity to major on the Raspi? For a lot of kids it could have been the only real computer in their house. Another BBC Computer Literacy Project would have been amazing, the micro:bit doesn't feel like it does t

In a lot of jurisdictions, he does, especially if you did that knowing that he was watching.

Yep, I think the wording might be "caused to be delivered".

The UK law is a bit more subtle than that. Can't speak for other jurisdictions.

I am absolutely not a lawyer, but I wouldn't do something like this for fear of falling afoul of anti-obscenity laws. For instance, the UK has a cyberflashing law which allots a two year custodial sentence for sending a graphic image (

I think the original naive critique is valid though. What if the consensus is wrong? But of course, it's better than one random study, unless you particularly trust that researcher and none of the others.

These magazines were beautiful. It's a shame that little on the web can compete with them on that front. The Deoxyribonucleic Hyperdimension was a fair crack, when it first came out, but that analogue look, with real human artwork is l

Oh god, this is terribly difficult to rid of hidden variables. Mushroom consumption is probably also correlated in Western countries with higher social class, for example, but not in Eastern Europe. Or maybe it used to be but isn't any

Yes, this is very Spectrum-like, basically lifted the font, I guess. No colour-clash though, it seems. I've been on both the ZX Spectrum Next Kickstarters, and I'm loving it.

These are almost orthogonal concerns. I may use nepotism to choose people I know who are talented. I may use other systems which attempt to completely level the playing field to do so. This may result in worse outcomes.

The opposite of nepotism isn't meritocracy, it's equality of outcomes.

There are more people in schools, but they have to lower standards as a result. We have CS graduates who can't write fizzbuzz. Unrestrained nepotism is stupid, but its opposite is equally absurd.

For some reason this reminds me of the 1987 reboot of Dragnet, starring Dan Ackroyd, in which a satanic crime ring called PAGAN ("People Against Goodness And Normalcy") were planning on sacrificing a virgin. IIRC it was secretly r

As an employer, I find it suspect if someone doesn't have a LinkedIn profile. Equally (or perhaps more) suspect is a LinkedIn profile which isn't up-to-date, as that can often go hand-in-hand with someone moonlighting. None of the
