Ah yes, technically the chemicals are being put in the water and are turning the frogs gay but you see, they only intended to put the chemicals in the water and didn't specifically intend to turn the frogs gay.

Thanks. I just went and submitted one.

They pointed me to an obscure page on their site that implies but doesn't directly say that this might happen. I don't know the laws, have to do more research.

>Update 2020-12-22 20:00 UTC: Tor Browser 10.0.7 is approved now on Google Play and it is rolling out. Quite curious if this hitting the HN frontpage had anything to do with it. Probably, based on the timing.

You're right, I just successfully updated Tor Browser with an apk. In the past I've had errors updating other apps, presumably because they used Google's signing services, I assumed it was the same for all apps but was wrong.

But you can't install over an existing app from Google Play. You need to uninstall the app, lose your data, then reinstall with an apk. Edit: above is wrong at least for Tor Browser, you can install over an existing Google Play install

Having coded with MWS, I can confirm. I don't remember the details but there was a typo in one of the PHP examples leading all API calls to fail. Easily fixed but should I really have to edit the provided example code to get something

No. All events being probabilistic is still realism, just in a weaker sense than Bell.

Where are you getting that from? It's 10%, i.e. roughly one police killing per 10 civilian killings. Read the article I linked and compare to other countries as well as historically.

by ikeboy 6y ago
Then why have police killings gone up despite crime going down? Also, why are police dispatched for non-violent crimes? I don't think someone with a gun and a license for violence should be sent out for any report of a non violent crim

"why isn't there as much outrage over the few dozen police killed every year as there is over the nearly 2k people killed by police?" There are roughly 20k violent deaths in the US every year. Almost 10% of those are police r

No two people ever have the same set of information. And very few cases are even as clean as the coin case. A more typical example is using polls to predict elections. 538's model ended with Biden around 90% to win. Andrew Gelman'

Bob has a very simple algorithm to output probabilities. He just answers 50/50 for any yes or no question. This is reproducible. Is this objective?

Sure, it's as real as those other examples, i.e. not particularly except insofar as it affects peoples' expectations. I don't think "exact info of conditions" is objective or coherent. This pre-supposes there's

by ikeboy 6y ago
I don't think that's a coherent concept. It's not clear how one can assert that a particular model of reality is "correct" outside of any predictions than it makes.
144.
by ikeboy 6y ago
Bell's theorem rules out local realism. I view realism as incoherent, so I'm certainly not committed to local realism.

The distinction between objective and subjective collapses under your usage.

Generally we use the term real to refer to objective claims and consider subjective claims not to be real. You can certainly use the term real in a broader sense if you'd like. I don't think the concept of reality is particularly

Probability is not real. Probability is subjective, it depends on what you know, and everyone has a different set of things they know. I flip a coin and look at it, then ask two other people for their probabilities. One of them knows the co

Turner is about a content-neutral regulation. The proposal in OP doesn't appear to be content-neutral. It's also weaker than Turner in that no compelling government interest is identified. Being charitable doesn't mean I need
