How could another human being be not-conscious while displaying all the signs of consciousness? Maybe I have a failure of imagination but if ask my mother "are you conscious?" and she says "yes" then that's pretty c

You could use an MRI machine to show that their brain activity is the same as yours, and if you know you are conscious then that should be evidence enough. Or you could just ask them.

Language families refer to the provenance of a language, the oldest vocabulary. That doesn't automatically mean it will be easy or hard to learn if you speak another language within or without that family. For instance if you speak Spa

I encourage you to imagine a world where nobody has babies. Sure the economy will be great for a while without that pesky maternity leave. But then it will crumble because it turns out that people get old and retire.

Nobody needs to use coal. Gas turbines are better in every way. Germany's addiction to coal is political not technological. Renewables are part of the solutions but what makes up the rest will depend on where you live. The solution for

Nuclear is a solution in countries such as India and China where it can be constructed for cheaper, but in the west it is dying due to the high cost. If nuclear only compared unfavorablely to fossil fuels the externalities could be addres

In my experience from being on a jury in England I would say absolutely don't say anything to the police unless directed by your solicitor . The amount of adverse inference a jury will take from silence is limited if you later give a

That doesn't seem like a high bar honestly. There's many games that much harder to get started with, you might need to buy an old console or buy a specific version of a game. Downloading and installing a cracked game should be eas

That's fine for short haul or business class but if you're squashed into a seat seemingly designed with a child's dimensions in mind for half a day, Wi-fi is the opiate that makes flying bearable.

If your intention is to improve you are probably better off spectating than playing. Playing against stronger players of any game is an interesting experience but observing stronger players is more educational since you can do so from an em

It comes down to who wants it more. If you have some kind of rare special experience that would be hard for them to find locally, then your location doesn't matter because they will be happy to have you on board. If you are replaceable

The alternative is worse. Look at all of the problems we have with Turkish I, just because they didn't create new codepoints to make Turkish I and Latin I distinct even though they look the same.

With respect, the US is hardly an example to be followed when it comes to road safety. It comes down to whether you believe driving is a right or a privilege. If you believe it's a right then this does seem like an invasion of privacy.

Well in the given example the user asks a question "who was the actor that..." and Google gives them the answer. This is really hard to achieve by accident no matter how much traffic you get. It requires NLP machinery to answer a

BBC is not allowed to show ads in UK. It's likely that the journalist who wrote the article is totally unaware that the page has this kind of spam in other countries. Hilarious though.

Knowing what the most common questions are doesn't help you find the corresponding answers. At best you can find the result that users click on most frequently, but if all of the results in the result page suck then that's not g

Also most people in the west don't worry about overloading their home's electrical supply by connecting too many devices. That is equivalent to a gigabit connection. A 100Mbit connection would be equivent to maybe a 4kW home sup

But you are adjusting values to get a more perfect reproduction, not to produce a new work. Copyright doesn't care how long you worked or how hard it was. It cares if you made a new creative work. What you describe would be more in the

Light is well understood but the explanation depends on what level of abstraction you require. There are quantum, classical and naive explanations of light and each are radically different. It's not our understanding that is flawed but

It sounds like you aren't very happy at your current job, so by all means look for a new job. That said I wouldn't like the stress of starting a new job immediately after recovering from surgery. Why not request leave and after yo

Surely putting a person on a registry and putting a gun on a registry are different things? A gun is physical object, it has a location that is independent of its owner's location. The US doesn't keep a registry of people with min

But lispers are only a small % of programmers. So parentheses have been a success in the sense that lispers really like them, but have been a failure in the sense that they have prevented lisp's cool semantics from reaching a broader a
