I'm not missing any point and I have no interest in engaging with anyone who opens with that sort of strawman ad hominem.

I know what the title says, of course ... but the title is descriptive, not a label, and only Cerf is referred to as the father, as quoted. And yes of course Kahn co-invented TCP/IP but no one ever calls him father of the Internet. And

He did not say that. What he did say was true. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Gore_and_information_techno...

It's not so much a joke as a smear. Gore was attacked for claiming to be the inventor of the Internet, but he never said that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Gore_and_information_techno...

Eh? Vint is KNOWN AS "the father of the Internet", and that's what TFA's title says. https://web.archive.org/web/20131104212006/http://deafness.a... > He is routinely referred to a

I worked on the ARPANET project under Steve Crocker at UCLA and met his bud Vint there (with his ever-present 3 piece suit, briefcase, and hearing aids) ... what a great guy. An anecdote: I wrote a program (in Sigma-7 assembler I think) to

Um, only the second part was a joke. The first part was confirmation of your statement that it's not just an analogy or coincidence ... and Shannon followed von Neumann's advice (not joke).

> Your epistemic position is ultimately just as faith based as you claim faith in God etc. This lie is so tiresome. It's notable that science has a history of effectively producing confirmable fact whereas religion produces only fal

I asked for proof of claims and I just get "it absolutely does" and a bunch more assertions, and word salad like "the validity of the scientific method is ultimately a metaphysical extension of our intuitions about inductive

I know what metaphysics is (and your description isn't accurate--science is a knowledge-producing method that doesn't depend on metaphysics in order to be meaningful), but that has nothing to do with my statement. And it's ca

Prove any of this. Or at least provide a cogent argument for it. To me it looks riddled with mistakes, like > metaphysics is (tautologically) the domain of humans which is frankly incoherent.

I'm not the liar here -- none of those family pardons are for "white collar crimes", they were to protect them from retribution by Trump. Again, Trump pardons people for a fee, and the motto of his pardons office is "no

The first is true, the second is a lie. The motto of Trump's pardon office is "No MAGA left behind."
