So everyone is "way overpriced" then? Parent describes everyone, not just someone.

My favorite quote from this article: > maybe Wikipedia should change its tag-line from “anyone can edit” to “anyone who’s willing to provide citations can edit.”

What... somebody called them "security" systems?..

I mean if it doesn't have bugs. Like if someone uses a calculator, a map, other utilities in order to plan a mass shooting. If bugs may be there, notion of safety is fine.

I wonder how aphantasia and synesthesia are related. Are there many people who have both?

Which point? That there were so many lines of code imagined exactly? It's a continuous scale. 20 lines seems very good, but not exceptional.

Why do you think that organic search is so more corrupted by SEO than ability to pay is relevant, that neutral ranking is noticeably more relevant than ad ranking?

It could work only if advertiser pays per click instead of per show. Is pay-per-click the only option in Google? There also is clickbait.

No, "bad" here is only for consumers, for the business it could be profitable.

It can also be driven by level of my wealth, so a business A might be willing to pay more for an ad for its product than business B despite less assumed relevance, then ranking would not reflect assumed relevance.

Why? Looks pretty imaginable to me.

Cool, but that should be directed to tomjen3. As for myself, maybe: "that which causes loss or injury to the user when handling of it does not intend this"?

No, only unsafe gratis software would be killed.

Why would you want to see results ranked by advertiser's ability to pay rather than a neutral metric of relevance?

A business can also subsidize adverts for "bad" products by profit from "good" products.

If it pays me, then I believe it's worth recommending :) Though if you reject this implication, I totally agree.

Innovative. I like the concept of crossover of fund-raising platform and freelance marketplace . It allows for organization of exchange that is smarter from societal design / functional viewpoint (which is kind of things I like a lot)

I improved my definition of feelings so that they can easily be objective. I define hunger as the ideal signal that corresponds exactly to the extent of starvation. 'Ideal signal' is almost like sensation or feeling, except it m

But "semantic interpretation of reality", or meaning , is in the domain of philosophy. In this case, models are used not to just predict independent real events, but to generate opinion on meaning and create a framework on whic

Am I right that you want to apply certain apriori ideas, like preference of simpler models, in order to build semantic interpretation of reality? I don't believe that any set of such apriori ideas should be universal for all minds. As

Hunger is pretty objective if your body isn't malfunctioning (and it never is logically, "malfunctioning" body isn't yours). If your body works correctly, you are not free to choose whether to consider yourself hungry, a

If you insist on a definition in terms of physics, there may be a universal standard way of interpolating all distributed ideas of red into a main definition, even if extremely high-tech. Otherwise, this question comes down to whether the m
