Not GP, but a PDF excerpt on your website works for most people. In this case if Manning will allow it.

Antibiotics, vaccines and a well-balanced diet are not mutually exclusive, nor did GP imply so.

I listed issues with both together, probably should have listed them separately. Edit: just noticed you said Rift S, maybe you meant the Rift? The Rift S doesn't use sensors, so moving it to another room just requires re-calibration in

There are still multiple issues with lighthouses (and Rift CV1 sensors): repeating the setup if moving the PC and VR headset to another room, occlusion issues (e.g. with ceiling fans), sensors get moved inadvertently (e.g. while dusting), i

The suboptimal user experience of setting up lighthouses was cited as an argument against the high price of $1000. Treating it as something to be considered only after buying would be the same as assuming that the item has a high value beca

Curve fitting does generalise to unseen data, and can even do it well if the training data was representative of the test data.

But the point here is that these creature are executed and that too either young or in the prime of their lives.

I haven’t considered the case for humans, but probably yes. All life might include simple organisms that don’t have the capacity to suffer, and in their case it obviously won’t matter. Yes, no kids for me.

Ok, in my opinion it would be better for them not to have existed at all.

I think the terror of understanding that your companions are disappearing day by day and any day now your number will be up combined with the final moments until execution probably exceed the fun of running about in fields. We may have no w

So jail time then. People can learn to keep their passports on their persons to avoid jail time for putting it in the carry-on and taking the carry-on.

It may be time to start prosecuting people that carry anything out during an emergency evacuation. A heavy fine (at least) seems a reasonable price to avoid loss of life in future.

I think you’ll have to define the measure of correctness here as I don’t think I understand what right/wrong means at all in this context. If we are talking about leisure time as understood by the subject, then it’s difficult to see ho

Just because countries tend to act like sociopaths doesn’t make that sort of behaviour acceptable. And if we leave behind the bomb analogy, this was an action with global consequences. Not only potentially harming the ISS but risking escala

Of course I seriously believe it. It really should be necessary for people who don't believe it to explain themselves. That is rejecting the null hypothesis, so to speak.

My question was about a sci-fi hypothetical scenario, not the current state of things. However the hypocrisy of the current state of things is staggering to me. Using words like 'ethical' and 'unethical' makes it worse.

Fair enough. Humans can at least give consent, in a way (given that economic necessity is not consensual).

What if humans were so different from other creatures that testing human medicines on other species made no sense and the established practice was testing on human “volunteers”, i.e. poor people. Would it still make sense to argue that we d
