I can think of no better test of whether some specific being is intelligent than fooling another human into thinking they are. Can you think of a better one? > because it's a behavioral or functional test What else would you test fo

What a useless definition. I could just as easily say that no being (artificial or not) can be considered intelligent so long as it believes in flying spaghetti monsters.

I definitely see your point about the wording, and I'm also not in love with it. I guess I was approaching the situation from the known information of the case, which is fairly clearly a very crude attempt at finding a crime of rape wh

I don't see anything ignorant about expecting that the burden of proof in cases of rape requires more evidence than a statement from the victim, specially when all the circumstantial evidence goes directly against said statement. &quot

Some very valid points indeed. > What are the "devastating social consequences" which resulted from that verified claim? If there's one thing I can confidently back off from is having used the word "devastating".

Thank you for explaining that. > Really, it seems to me that the issue isn't necessarily with plea bargains in general so much as with plea bargains with massive differentials to the original charges. I agree with you. I think the r

It would seem so from the downvotes. I think it would be much more fruitful to explain those arguments, even if briefly. I'm certainly interested in hearing them. Unfortunately, the search you suggested yielded no obvious results.

A plea bargain is still part of due process.

IMHO what is really needed in this topic is for people to stop having a violent allergic reaction every time the word "rape" is mentioned. This debases the conversation much more than all the jokes and inept metaphors that have ev

If your position is that monitoring HTTP traffic is useless because favicons can be embedded into webpages, what method would you propose to monitor employees browsing habits then? Furthermore, how would you monitor the HTTP traffic of susp

by ghurtado 10y ago
A web filter / proxy does not have any way to tell whether any individual HTTP request was requested as a result of HTML embedding, bookmarking, user entry or clicking on a link.

Any page could also embed anything else NSFW, such as actual porn videos. The assumption is that these sites are generally NSFW by association. What would you propose instead?

Even those graphs show that the military budget is higher now than it was when Obama took office. None of this is really helping to support your point about unicorns at all.

I believe what was meant was "not selected for". However, this could well be argued at length: human consciousness has clearly played a big role in humans becoming the dominant species in the planet.

The article mentions the term "proto-computer", which would be more appropriate. Given that the "Enigma Machine" was indeed a machine (and not a computer) I think the term "computer" is a bit over the top for t

But this is a bit of a chicken and egg problem, isn't it? You could just as easily argue that the wages are so low because tipping is pretty much a given.

So Angular is not made with Javascript then? Do you not write Javascript when you use it? That's a bit like saying that the alternative to a roof is shingles.

Absolutely. Here's an example: Human mortality sucks. However, since there is no alternative, complaining about it is an exercise in futility.
