Only if you reach as far as you possibly can to stretch that word. Putting "=Username" at the end to see if the user has an account on the very site we're discussing this on is pretty far from documenting identifying informat

That, and if genome similarities were to be explained away by an intelligent designer using the same "toolbox" (so to speak) then why would he create crabs multiple times without using those same widgets? Leaps of faith seem to in

How certain are you that the current reality is not a constructed deception?

Is it really that perverse? The character shifts from economic drudgery to manual drudgery. The objectives of the game encourage time min-maxing. It's all pretty within expectations.

Pokemon Snap has a lot of depth below the facade. It's an on-rails type game where your job is to take high quality photographs of Pokemon as you venture through the zones that game offers. Crucially you cannot stop the cart you'r

This doesn't follow, the laptop story's premise doesn't pass the sniff test at all. A laptop is left with a computer repair salesman for some reason, in Delaware for some reason, and for some reason no contact information is

The inner voice, also referred to as the internal monologue, is a form of thought. It's the same as how daydreaming isn't hallucinating images, it's seen with the mind's eyes rather than the physical ones.

This was several years ago now, during my pre-university days. I lost access to my hosting and my domain due to lack of funds, dead hard drives (didn't use any versioning) etc. At this point I don't write about much, so I haven&#x

Ah, well in that case the note about layers of abstraction don't really apply very well. A full WYSIW(YG/YM) editor is not going to generate HTML you actually want to read or write. Otherwise we'd all be making sites in Micro

If I'm wanting to write about something I want to write about that thing, not write about that thing in the midst of a bunch of extraneous fluff like header tags, script tags, CSS, etc. The author's thoughts about layers of indire

This only follows if the playerbase are expected to have full knowledge of the dark patterns at play but don't care about them. It's more likely they have no objection because they aren't aware.

That doesn't read as him accusing you of being that person, but of repeating an argument someone else made. He literally links it and writes "et seq" ("and the following") ie: read this person who agrees with you an

Beliefs don't have to be arguments though, they don't need to be thoughts you reasoned yourself into. I saw people in distress -> I thought "that doesn't look fun, I could try to minimize that" -> belief forme

It's obviously not a factual statement about reality though, it's a personal belief. At most that belief acts as a target to reach in an eventually-consistent type of manner. I'm struggling to find the purpose of the article,

Some beliefs feel abstract enough that the answer to "what evidence would make me change my mind?" just conjures question marks. If I believe that "it is good to reduce net human suffering so others can live fulfilling lives&

Autism is understood to be a neurodevelopmental condition rather than a psychiatric one. This would make sense given sensory differences are common and that autism has comorbidity with prosapognosia.

It's also true that a large portion of the high support needs cohort have other developmental disabilities. Autism is often co-diagnosed but doesn't account for the entirety of that demographic.

It's also true that none of the symptoms of autism apply universally. I'm good friends with an autistic man, he's got a special interest for a certain branch of mathematics and swing dance. He's also great with regards t

They shouldn't have to make the cake, but they should be open to legal challenge or fines for not doing it. Discrimination is voluntary, sexuality isn't.

Identity politics is almost completely unrelated to the topic at hand and does not carry the definition you've used later in the thread. This is about unethical uses of data post collection.

Can you update the FAQ to stipulate that you aren't collecting face data too? Because right now you say you're not doing anything with the images , that doesn't rule out collecting face data and storing that instead.
