   That's wildly out of kilter - this data shows humans at only 2.3% of animal biomass, with arthropods holding the largest segment at 39%. EDIT: my sibling comment mentions CO2 emissions - I agree that your stats look like they're r

   That doesn’t mean that their ideas weren’t generated by a deterministic machine inside their skulls. GGP doesn’t explain why he thinks these individuals had free will and the rest of us don’t. Seems to me even in “random” yet deterministic

   Can they? Sure. Will they? Doubtful. The problem is slowness due to bureaucracy. When you can't even experiment on 'company' equipment without formulating a plan and having it approved by a few levels of management, it

   For reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_languages_by_number_of... In the event it's not obvious, English is 3rd in terms of native speakers, but you'll need to calculate all the others to compare

   Thanks for the reply, and the code!

   We’re looking seriously at using this at work. Is anyone aware of any OSS implementations?

   Presumably, YouTube is merely a distribution point for those amongst us who would make local copies for redundant archival purposes.

   Can you screenshot that and link to the screenshot? I don't see it marked as an ad.

   I’ll agree that that’s a crazy amount of data. I take issue with “...render just one frame.” Surely that data can be reused for multiple other frames.

    I think the original intent was to take notes quickly and later transcribe them to be read as normal text. I've wanted to learn shorthand for writing into my tablet and have it transcribe automatically, but I haven't put in the re

    I don't find it "easy" to read that, but it's not impossible. And depending on personal levels of experience, eliminating vowels might take more effort than just writing full words.

    You can, but I suspect they'll stick with the former: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mymta/id1297605670?mt=8 Seems to me they've branded it this way intentionally.

    Wouldn't that be a bit like blaming Budget Rent a Car when one of their customers driving a rented car hits a pedestrian?

    then ... wouldn't it be "...ers"? Otherwise, I have no idea what _that_ N word is. EDIT: Using the archive link below, it's the one ending "...roes"

    Are you saying "the Rule of Law doesn't hold the same weight as in America or Europe" is your misconception? Or rather that you assume the rule of law would hold the same weight, it does not, and therefore "rule of law h

    I’m of the opinion it’s two options (“real” vs “not real”) regardless of how the “not real” option is implemented: simulation, dream states, shared illusion, whatever. The rest of your comment makes fine arguments.

    I can't help but think the two options (we're in a simulation vs. we're not in a simulation) are equally likely without any information from outside our own universe. That said, it doesn't matter either way - we're

    I dunno ... seems to me an indication of a larger systemic problem: "we couldn't even provide a company-wide engineering solution for this simple problem, so here's how we used a hack..."

    I think part of the problem is the ordering of the canine calorie queue: should it not be approximately lifo rather than fifo? If you are indeed correct, I’m curious to know how the canine has direct access to the caloric morsels at the bot

    I think the 3D fluid dynamics simulation required to find this might be a much. I always figured "water droplets smashing into another surface" was sufficient. My dripping taps never seem to drip into a puddle of water, but on the

    “Sorry, we can't seem to find what the problem is.” I know what the problem is: it’s a hobby project and 1) employer work takes priority and 2) I’m so stinking tired at the end of a day and 3) adult chores take priority on the weekend.

    "...the burden of remittance has shifted..." And the party paying the tax has not shifted. The party paying the tax votes on representation.

    "...and some states will collect sales taxes for others as well." I'm having a hard time coming up with an example where this makes any sense. Can you elaborate?

    Apple has asked me several times in the past for online purchases. I enter a ZIP code, they do some lookup and ask me to choose the county I live in from a list of three. I choose, and based on that they calculate tax.

    "...and twenty dollars or so my bank charges for receiving wire transfers." For business accounts or personal? I received a single wire transfer to a personal account two months ago and didn't pay a fee. Maybe I get one free.

    I believe this method is patented and isn’t due to expire for another 12 years.
