That makes a lot more sense than "it obscures the obscure thing it does to obscure itself".

You're arguing that every single company should be a monopoly, and nobody should ever try to compete with an existing one. Never improve anything either, unless you can do 10 times better, and only if the 10x is very complicated. Makes

It's only difficult because people keep voting for politicians willing to throw fundamental rights out the window. I don't think any solution exists in this circumstance. People want to vote for bad politicians but to get good res

The ultimate check is people voting for better politicians. Without this, no system of checks can do anything significant. No checks in the US will limit Trump and the republicans, if they get voted over and over again. No checks in France

I don't know how to create a liver, or test one, so what does that say about my liver? Pretty much nothing.

Postgres is shaping up to be a quite nice operating system. I wonder if there is an extension for text editing.

Doesn't seem terribly useful. I mean it only obscures that it prints "ok". If you're looking at the logs, you probably already figured out someone is attacking you, and if you didn't, seeing "echo ok" will

Why not do 'echo "ok"'?

I wonder if the guy who died when his Telsa drove under a truck would have written a similar comment the day before. What do you think? I mean this one: https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/interactive/2023&#x

So anyone who disagrees, including you for a short time, is actually not an intelligent being? Not to mention that ignoring the size of the grid, one might disagree about the answer of one of the tests.

I can't see any other ending for this than people simply giving up on using social networks, at least those that exist now and exhibit this phenomenon. I feel that in search of a few more dollars from engagement, they are slowly killin

We don't agree. You're now saying anything is evidence of anything, which just makes the word "evidence" meaningless. In real life, when people say "A is evidence of B" they mean strong evidence, or even overwh

The fact that two intelligent beings are debating what the correct answer is shows that there is no fixed correct answer that proves "intelligence". This is IQ tests all over again. Actually testing how alike you think to the auth

What is even the meaning of "correct" in this case? This makes me think of "math" problems requiring you to find the next number in a series. They give you 5 numbers, and ask for the 6th. When I can build a polynomial th

Where exactly in space-time are complex numbers? Could you point me to 2+i for example? How about some aliens in a SF book. When we reason about them, where are they exactly? Literally on the pages of the book? How about a context-free gram

That makes no sense at all. Any problem is initially only solvable by humans, until some technology is developed to solve it. Calculating a logarithm was at some point only doable by humans, and then digital computers came along. This would

Yeah, the other hand should be something like "don't define their worth by some achievement score, and just be happy". It's hard to even put in clear words, let alone actually do the balance between these.

But you are only able to hedge the money part of the risk. Life insurance does not bring anyone back, and health insurance only repairs your health as much as can be done with money. You can't insure against incurable diseases, as in t

Isn't the fact that you cand use gambling as insurance and insurance as gambling support the idea that they are the same? If it all depends on the context, then it's not the activity that is different, but the context. To me it so
