No, these two statements are not equivalent. Perhaps what you have in mind is the contrapositive "This didn't happen, so I didn't do it". More formally, A -> B is equivalent to -B -> -A, but it is not equivalent to

Thanks. I just noticed a bug though: You can enter the search field by moving all the way to the top pressing arrow up or k. And then you can defocus the search field by pressing escape. This works now and I posted it on GreaseFork. https:

No, it's something like political satire or political entertainment. If the category education should mean anything then it certainly does not include a man pretending to be a woman pushing political agendas in some completely overblow

It can kinda easily be misread as "not a single one".

"ContraPoints" is not an education channel.

> As for increased number of addicts, I think the fact that there are technology addicts where there didn't used to be (before tech), should be a sufficient logical claim. No, because those people may have engaged in other unhealthy

The points you are raising (addiction) seem to be somewhat unrelated to what was being discussed (inappropriate content). Of course addictions are bad, but do you have any data supporting your claim that technology has increased the number

But consider for example the link between violent video games and prosocial outcomes. The effect sizes are tiny. The downsides of additional filters will very likely outweigh anything that can be gained regarding mental health and childhood

I think humans are a lot more robust than commonly assumed. Most of us do not break due to their mere experiences as long as their fundamental needs (food, being loved, goals and so on) are fulfilled. Once these needs are not fulfilled they

Any improvements for the Windows GUI ? I find it to work better with WSL and VcXsrv.

This seems longer than writing http://gmail.com or does it link directly to the html version

Gmail is a free product, hence it has possibly low priority.

You can use the HTML-only version of Gmail at the bottom of the page which loads in 300 ms or so. Gmail view: standard | >basic HTML<

Either case seems to require faster-than-light or instant communication between alternative paths that are being tried out, so the distinction is whether the combination of different paths is mediated by another faster-than-light (non-local

Non-locality means that the way the probability of presence (wave function) of a photon is determined is by trying out all possible paths through the entire universe at once rather than only in regions nearby the photons?

A model is in practice mostly an approximation rather than a replica. Think of a water bottle that is about to fall off a table. You brain does not model the trajectory of 10^26 atoms it consists of, but it has some abstract representations

What are some current plausible wost-case models that take the non-linearity of the sea level rise and any conceivable feedback loops into account?

But isn't genetic code transcribed sequentially and in the context of previously decoded structures? So it is similar to reading a text that references parts elsewhere in the text. If you only keep the changes between multiple subtly m

> sorting of the data Perhaps the main advantage is that it can filter out non-adaptive, non-functional (noisy) mutations this way by simply averaging similar genomes? In that case, the rows of the learned M x N kernels should be nearly
