Maybe it's one of the wandering planets that got caught by Suns gravity. I'd imagine there are plenty of those cold bodies between the stars, it would be strange if solar system didn't encounter any of them. Also the fact tha

Article just sounds like an attempt to prepare public for more censorship. Twitter has no problems with trolls or terrorists or inciters of violence (blm), but they are however effective on removing political opinions that don't align

AI in games like civ isn't some unsolved problem. It's just limited by what your computer can do in reasonable amount of time to not get in the way of other things the game does. Civ games in general are kind of a solvable problem

Both of you are right (or wrong). Microscopes for kids are good no matter the access to more basic needs, but not all the children should get them - only a small percentage. Author, as well as many other smart people, got consumed by his ow

One of the useful things with bucketing is that stuff almost always tries to optimize itself and naturally cluster at certain areas more even though there are some continuity. That means in nature, where is some normal distribution, there i

The reactions are non-voluntary and humans evolved this way. And since it's in our genes that our women are predisposed to feel like ugly people are genetically inferior, that is enough proof to say that they really are in a certain ci

In the context of the article, "animal" is meant to be understood as "something having non-human features". An ugly guy has both human and "non-human" features, so a mind is split in those both directions, and

It only appears that we do not follow universal, perfect rules because we have so many of them and even different from one individual to other. Our brains are too big to make sense about these rules. But if you take simple variant of brain,

That's like saying that people must afford an iphone 7 if he owns a calculator and an alarm clock. Laptops and smartphones are orders of magnitude cheaper.

Slump in sales might just mean that people who wanted to buy the device have bought it already and other people are not interested enough to buy it. There are many explanations to it, blaming phone VR is one of less probable ones I think.

Video games are art. You can't be "Better than art" as art only means "creation with intent", which is so broad even kicking a can down the hill in a certain way can be called art.
