Thanks for sharing your experience. My understanding is that the hallucinations experienced by schizophrenics do not rise to the level of being a "personality". Yes, for the person experiencing the hallucination, the source appea

FYI, the condition you are referring to is called multiple personality disorder and is distinct from schizophrenia.

It's easy enough to verify, just add a side effect to the second function. Just think of them as process functions returning success flags.

It seems like the issue here was the amount of network resources being used. You can't have any kind of SaaS without using someone else's network.

The easiest way to fix this without an amendment would be to greatly increase the number of representatives and use the Maine/Nebraska method to split the electors. It's not perfect, but it would be close enough, depending on how

Yes, it's hard to imagine that actually being executed without a ton of lawsuits. And you think people didn't accept the results of the last election, you haven't seen anything...

I thought the context of this discussion was concerning an interview with law enforcement, in this case the Secret Service.

A lawyer can help you decide which facts to reveal and which to withhold. A good lawyer will prevent you from making the state's case for them.

The positive side of the trade off is that the technology is usually available to more people by being more affordable.

Keep in mind that "pieces" might not mean the same thing you think of it as meaning.

I'm saying my problem with Zeno's argument in setting up the paradox is assuming that spacetime is infinitely divisible. That doesn't mean that's the "reason we can move", it means that's why the argument

Think of it this way - if we allow ourselves to infinitely divide space, eventually we are talking about distances much, much smaller than the Planck distance (QM concept in case you are not familiar). At those scales, we can't even p

Firstly, there is a little conflation between the Euclidean space and a Euclidean space with a time element going on here. It's not important to your argument but I wanted to call attention to it. Yes, one way to resolve the paradox i
