The burden of proof is on you to show it is in fact supernatural. Were it not, literally anything could be claimed as truth. At this point in time, the overwhelming majority of evidence indicates that consciousness is deterministic. If you

I'm unable to deploy to Heroku, though it seems to be a problem on Heroku's end. Their Rollbar snippet is throwing an unhandled error once I arrive from your deploy button.

23&Me was using a medical test to give users data regarding their risks of certain diseases without sufficiently proving to the FDA that that data was accurate. It's not a stretch to imagine someone acting on that information with

It was. The maintainer of jsdom decided to no longer support node after 3.x and made the library throw a condescending exception if you tried to run it with node. The docs were also filled with childish "tm" symbols whenever node

That doesn't seem to follow to me. If you ignore or suppress abusive language that doesn't make it stop - it just means you've accepted it.

I've read through many of the top threads on Pao over the past few weeks, and from my experience about 30% of all posts publicly used the word "cunt" to describe Pao.

You should check out Gattaca [ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119177/ ]. It's a great movie that explores some of the negatives that crop up from a society that genetically sequences all citizens from birth.

In Canada at least the title "engineer" is professionally regulated, so the terms "CS classes" and "software engineering classes" are non-interchangeable as with the titles "software developer" and &q

I don't believe you can honestly compare hiding one's own communications for the sake of privacy with carrying a wartime weapon in a non-hostile public place.

It's more that your computer should be considered compromised regardless if you allow someone to gain physical access to it. You should know where your device is at all times. I'm not willing to throw away my device's resale

I agree. By that logic, the directors of the country's top liquor producers should get the death penalty.

I disagree. I'd actually argue that I learned a lot more in my coop placements than I did in many of my classes. Maybe the UBC coop experience is different? The companies hiring Waterloo coops are usually top notch and include well kno

And it almost certainly would not have been spent on those things even if the missions were cancelled. It's like getting angry at software companies because they're not spending all their profits on solving climate change. The exi

Lag is not an issue for the listener, it's an issue for the performer. An extra 10ms of lag when wearing headphones and playing a keyboard can make you feel completely disconnected from your instrument.

This whole thread has simply consisted of you talking in circles in an attempt to obfuscate the topic at hand. Instead of refuting points with a counterpoint of your own, you modify the premise of the question and answer that instead. What

The two cannot be compared. Illegal porn (child porn, rape, etc.) is illegal because of a lack of consent and potential for assault, psychological scarring, etc. of the victim. Drugs are illegal in an attempt to "protect" consenti

I believe that the Falcon Heavy animation showed the stages returning to the launch facility. SpaceX's primary goals with reusable stages are reduced cost and reduced time to refurbish, and landing at the launch site is a big part of t
