Really ? That's one of those things that is "obviously true", but if you go back to the 80s and measure ... it's not true (back then it was a very low multiple of bankruptcy sale value of the company. Something like 1.2,

My point is that the described "warning signs" are not red flags, unless you think that 30% of the population is just waiting to commit mass murder next time they get cut off at a red light.

by candiodari 7y ago
So mass shooters have 1) experienced violence before, often early 2) sometimes experienced psychological problems, maybe as a result of 1) 3) sometimes had some reason to become angry (before the mass-shooting, such as getting fired) 4) som

Given that most definitions of consciousness I've seen essentially express that you are capable of symbolic/abstract thinking, I'd say: 1) (extreme) autistic person that doesn't speak, but can, and arguably thinks too

No, the fact that people have grown up to very limited or even arguably nonexistent consciousness, but still perfectly functional, capable and alive, means that. Functional enough to survive 7+ years by himself in a French forest. Add that

We do. We know enough to state with absolute certainty that it's an emergent property. Nothing in your head is conscious. Nothing. Not even the whole of the human mind. It's in the "software", it's something you lea

You're comparing absolute minimum of slack with a very heavily used Telegram instance. This is, given the similarity of the apps, not fair. Compare a "media-heavy" slack with that Telegram, or compare with Telegram minimum.

That just gets you back to automated systems, for example, causing their own failure, then responding to it by causing more failure. For example, a relatively common occurence is a BGP link getting saturated. Get that situation bad enough a

Except of course that if a car is purchased with drug proceeds the government will keep the car AND get the money back from the vendor if they can. So if they actually manage to do that (obviously people don't generally commit crimes

The worst of it is that money forfeited is NOT returned to the person it was stolen from. This is one of those things that is so obvious everyone thinks that this is what happens but in fact does not happen in many cases. The police may the

I imagine that if you do this, you'd sell gift cards for store currency in Bitcoin, and presumably also in cash. You'd probably want to avoid using bank transactions.

A problem I wonder about is that frameworks and doing things well are often diametric opposites. For example, studies keep pointing out that for e-commerce, low latency and ridiculously fast sites matter a lot. They get you from zero to fun

This author seems to be believing in the myth that there is such a thing as intrinsic smartness (being smart without effort). She perpetuates the misconception, without realizing the point she herself is making. Nobody is smart. It just doe

I think there's something about that. It may have just the opposite effect. Revenge porn ? "That's a deepfake".

Sorry to say, but that doesn't work. 1 hectare/Mwh, abstract over any issues. What happens when renewables actually achieve what they set out to do: what happens when PV gets used for 50% of power ? What happens when it's at

This is stupid. Once you divide those costs by the power generated, they become almost negligible. To replace a nuclear power plant the size of an office building you need a solar or wind farm the size of a decent village. And it's exp
