Girls could well drive space exploration, but not necessarily in the way you might think. Sperm is easy to store.

Even countries with irresponsible citizenry and terrible social organization often manage some form of nationalised healthcare though, so that can't be it. I'm betting on it just being a side effect of making bribery, sorry, lobbyists donat

If there are no other explanations that fit the data that anyone has come up with, then fine. But I would not personally be particularly convinced by a simulationist interpretation until I thought that the evidence had been repeatedly teste

Here's a paper from the University of Virginia in 2009 that corroborates the article and goes into more detail - https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:pZStLTKZbWgJ:... There follows an excerpt from it to give you the gist - "The

No, the society in the book did that, I was giving you the context of the quote. Also, I am not sure that a positive result in that experiment would necessarily prove the hypothesis. The trouble is that if you think you have evidence for th

"if recursively-simulated universes are possible it becomes vanishingly unlikely that we do not live in one" That depends on the probability of a given universe or simulated universe to contain a simulated universe, and what limits there

I think you misunderstand the quote. It is not saying that simulation justifies solipsism, just that it belongs to the same family of concepts, along with comedy-gods burying dinosaur bones and stuff like that. The original context was one

I like Ian Banks take on this from his book "The Algebraist". “Any theory which causes solipsism to seem just as likely an explanation for the phenomena it seeks to describe ought to be held in the utmost suspicion.”

I think you are confusing genius with something else. I'm not sure what yet though. Possibly a badger.

Looks a lot like the things a mate of mine keeps welding up. He has loads of 2 wheel steering bikes now, and he's pretty good on them.

I wouldn't worry. As anyone who has dismantled technology can tell you, usually anything up to 90% of the small screws in any piece of equipment are entirely unnecessary, and in many cases seem to have manifested themselves spontaneously ou

This is more or less how I find my way around in the morning. The only major difference is that I generally use coffee-spills and biscuits as location markers, instead of slime.

I am not pointing out current capabilities, I am just hypothesizing on what is likely to develop in drone war when more than one side has drones.

by ktizo 14y ago
This brings up an interesting point. Anti-drone drones may well be much cheaper and more maneuverable than general purpose drones and people in general have far fewer ethical concerns when targeting a drone, as it is basically just property

Technically, it already is for outdoor use in the UK, unless the person flying it is not the person looking at the first person view, as the pilot has to keep visual contact with the aircraft. Also if you use one for anything commercial you

If that is the case then why do I keep my windows up when I drive through those neighborhoods. Because you are paranoid or watch too much TV maybe? The fact that you feel in danger, does not mean you actually are, and inversely just becau

The scariest thing about drones is that if both sides have drones, the winning strategy would seem to be in having millions of cheap drones directed by the sort of algorithms currently used in high frequency trading. Putting humans in the d

Prescription only, I'm afraid. The doctor needs to check that you have a fully working conscience first before eliminating the crickets, ever since that messy business involving the wooden boy.

No it isn't essential. For the second, you said it was the contextual background of any clinical study, before then going on to compare clinical studies which you are now saying shouldn't be compared.

The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping...

You didn't use those exact words, but it would seem the logical extension of your argument. And to claim that any clinical study of antidepressants is corrupted for profit would seem to ignore the fact that the evidence you are using about
