You're just doing what conservatives do, act obnoxious when criticized and maximally deny the accusations. I said you were employing sophistry in your argument and gave a simple explanation why. I "insinuated" nothing, becaus

It's your opinion what changes are too much, but your metaargument cannot answer that question which makes it sophistry to use the metaargument to argue for political moderation. Also, find a scientist who agrees with you that human va

Your prior argument was about sensors being performant having to reside within the kernel -- a very general argument -- of which the macos provides one counterexample in its official documentation. So the problem is in your original argumen

But that's just an Industrial-stage family structure. Loosely speaking. It's not that interesting and not fair to compare that with post-industrial neoliberal societies in the West. (I'm East Asian American.)

I skimmed the article and don't see a section explaining how to properly accelerate for the typical student. Do you just give them good-quality math textbooks for them to work on in there spare time? Or do they mean hire an private tut

FYI in the textbook version, they do say to assume the question is unambiguously binary (Sipser 2nd ed. page 162). It is very astute of you to catch that!

I think the problem with the wording is that it requires modal logic: > Let f:{0,1}*→{0,1} be the constant 1 function if God exists, or the constant 0 function if God does not exist. Is f computable? (Hint: The answer does not depend on

Hm, but the definition is not fine if we didn't already know the status of the halting problem?

What about this one: f(n) = { 0, if no Turing machine computes the halting problem H(n), if there exists a Turing machine, H, that computes the halting problem } A function is just any proper mathematical functio

I think the author is simultaneously reinventing the wheel and overthinking the writing process. Their essay overloads all the work of deep thinking onto the task of writing, which indeed scientists say writing a piece of text is one of the

It is perfectly fair to say that 1st-world countries ought to act morally and generously on a finite planet, and held to that standard because of their privileged technology and affluence. For some reason your values distorts that fairness

This is just an engineer's disease argument, using "extension" to do all the intellectual work of justifying the position. It's a pseudo explanation and works like how all misinformation works, using specious logic. Iron

The Seal Team 6 example was actually originated by another judge 5 months ago and even then Trump's lawyer did not dismiss the example as purely ridiculous. You can look it up.

The "bureacratic finger-wagging" in this particular context is a lesser evil than the alternative, allowing a corporation to pre-manufacture public opinion by contaminating the neutrality of the investigation and prosecution. It&#

The argument is simply that the ultimate responsibility falls on the entity that created the problem, and so it is inherently not symmetric. Whereas you made the assumption that two "wrongs" are symmetric and so have equal moral s

How is that different than my dad saying the cliche "Back in the day we had it much worse?" It's just a book to make the same conservative point. Since when did any child of a parent hearing that ("Back in the day, we

Well, I don't share this insistence that natural language is somehow special or privileged. Natural language has a tree structure and nobody need to learn about formal grammars to comprehend that. A schoolchild understands this much, w

To be fair to Chomsky, the historical context is that he was pushing against a particular dogma of his time. So later on Chomsky evolved his own position and came up with i-language/e-language for internal vs external language and so f

The authors say their opponents want a singular fundamental aspect, supposedly because of parsimony or Occam's razor (but this is the authors' framing). It's not clear to me who's account is more likely.
