Unfortunately this totally ignores the latest discovery of antivirals efficiency and the probable root cause of viruses from the herpes family.

I don't know this Pogo, but the mere fact that his words did not contain anything funny hints towards the absence of a joke... false (or outrageous) statements by themselves do not make sarcasm, you also need humour!!! For example if h

Am I the only one understanding that finding funny ways to rant is one of Linus' favourites hobbies? And so that he is not doing that to hurt people, but to entertain? He makes that particularly clear by attending gatherings about pira

Even with the evilest scheme, it seems unlikely to come up with something harming the rentability of renewables, or of solar in particular. It's basically free electricity from sun, which is plenty in Australian deserts. You pay only t

Following your reasonning, there is no reason why investors should shy away from renewables. The Greens would not harm any project of additional large scale batteries, for example.

My feedback: you definitely need to add tags. Because I'm quite good at, say, classic or jazz, but I suck at other styles. And I don't want to listen uselessly to 90% hummings from styles I don't know before starting to becom

Yeah I was thinking more about concealing the fact there was a signal at all. More like stegano, then. Moreover, that could be in an environment of intense EM jamming: ultrasonic signals would pass but not EM signals.

Could it be a powerful sonic transmission of data? I mean, EM waves are hugely monitored, so if somebody had to send data secretly, an ultrasonic way may be used. And there may have been a side effect due to too much power and the diplomats

Well, actually it seems you are true. There are absorption rays for the inter-galactic medium, as shown in: https://ned.ipac.caltech.edu/level5/Madau6/Madau2.html So, please ignore my previous reply ↓

Yeah, but sufficiently so that most photons are not encountering any other things on their way.

I don't see how it is pertinent, as space is not "a transparent medium", it is void. Pretty much all the photons emitted by a star that we can detect cross only the star's gas surrounding, then the emptiness of space, th

It seems that this model does not have any notion of "cadence" (the punctuation in musical grammar, given by harmony and tonality). The "expressivity" must be correlated to the harmony grammar, else it does not make sens

And it is also equivalent to considering all these realities coexisting in parallel universes. It kinds of "brings back the missing symmetry" of the situation.

Am I the only one thinking this approach should allow to address the conditions in which a social mind could emerge in societies of individuals? Including humans, or more likely slightly modified versions of humans.
