I mostly agree with your comment which echoes the sentiment in the article: Things are meant to be used. Don't fall for the psychological trap, that makes you never use your best items. The point I was making is that the inference, fro

Professionals have worn gear because they know how to handle it without breaking. Looks like you extracted the wrong lesson from photographers.

You failed to understand the meaning of his comment on the political structure. Basically it comes down to this: The easiest way to gain the favor and unquestioning loyalty of citizens is by antagonizing an outside power. All missteps can b

Are you claiming that the perception of retributive justice being served is not a factor at all in current justice systems? This is as preventative, restorative and rehabilitative as it could ever be?

The Great Courses are a real gem. It's a shame they continue to shorten and clickbaitify their lecture series.

Oh, prescriptions, that makes a lot more sense. As you rightly point out, science is not prescriptive, only descriptive.

Thanks!

I don't see any difference. I concur with your assessment on the ToC, but my main complaint is that monolinguals seem to have decided for the rest of us that changing language should involve multiple clicks in the top right corner.

What do you mean by P(TheScience) ?

It wasn't worth pushing through. The other arguments are equally as incoherent until it gets to the hard problem of consciousness, which seems to a problem for the author to explain concisely.

Tipping also makes sure every restaurant is slowly turning into a Hooters. When was the last time you've seen an unattractive nonwhite male waiter?

> You got it right the first time. No, I gave an example of inductive reasoning common in science. Induction means concluding from the particular to the general. So in this case we might have observed something happening in the past, ind

>Science is the business of finding the best explanations that account for all observations. This is exactly what induction means. Even your wording is almost identical to that of the Wikipedia page on "Inductive reasoning". &g

by chickenimprint 4y ago
See, there's the problem. You called it almost certainly false, but what are the criteria of truth? Science uses induction as a measure, meaning it presupposes that we have faith in the proposition that something will happen again beca

You concluded a biblical text was fantastical, due to it's literal reading being physically impossible?

I suspect this is due to a difference in ideology. American ideology seems seems to be stuck in enlightenment ideas when it comes to philosophy of mind, which is likely due to the veneration of the founders and political system, which is ba

If you think about it, a trinary bit is much less information than another sound would be. It's really quite easy to remember, but english minds seem to exclude articles from making it into memory, since they are usually not necessary.

I'm immensely skeptical of anything self-reported. I don't want to invalidate other's feelings, but we constantly hallucinate firm, certain seeming memories and emotions into existence with barely any suggestion. Unless you d

My carrier literally bugs me about giving away more and more personal info for 5 bucks every 2 months. They must have heard of the same research. They also ask for consent to receive "advice" and term it "our gift to you&quot

Portuguese claims are pretty legit, the Azores and Madeira were previously uninhabited and settled by the Portuguese before the Eastern Roman Empire even fell. Excluding small island states, the seafood consumption per capita is the highest

Which relevant island is uninhabited? Go through them on maps right now, you'll be surprised. There's really nothing there to justify Erdogans neo-Ottomanist jingoism. Sometimes it's valuable to question the underlying motive

The Greek claim is entirely reasonable, uncontroversial and correct according to the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. These islands have been continuously inhabited by Greeks for millennia. The border is drawn exactly according to the p

The difference in user experience reflects the difference in incentives. The lack of an obsequious welcome is as much a feature as the uncurated timeline. Mastodon is infrastructure, a tool, not a skinner box duct taped to a monstrous data

What's wrong with supporting the first Gulf War, NAFTA or neoliberalism? These are all popular and reasonable positions.

A profitable byproduct shifts down the supply curve, leading to a greater market equilibrium. That doesn't mean we shouldn't use it, but we should be cognizant of the fact that in a world without leather, there would be less cattl

I remember playing soccer with completely smooth rubber balls as a kid, and this effect is definitely noticeable. Feels a bit like kicking a beach ball. It's like they stop in midair.

I fear that if there is hundreds of thousands of dollars in demand pressure on getting some rich guys in, the chain will break somewhere. Maybe they'll bribe the entrance staff, or someone sells access to a VIP guest list, but it'

Will you endure the longer hours which will be implemented at your job also, for it will appear evident, that the tech worker is unperturbed by diminished working conditions?
