of course it does. so does an automatic ban. that's precisely not the issue. i think you probably meant to say recaptcha allows an extraordinarily large number of humans compared to false positives? because that would be the relevant

uh, captchas don't just appear on Google products. Third parties use it -- government services, online shopping, all kinds of things you take for granted because clearly you aren't one of the people affected by it (ie you're

the distinction between larks and night owls is a robust psychological finding that predates iphones; there is some evidence to suggest it is genetic; and night owls represent a significant percentage of the population (about 20%). that isn

my comment was in response to parent saying venus was a better candidate for colonization than mars. but i am totally on board with exploring venus, although im not convinced the atmospheric issues are significantly lesser than the surface,

no, most users are still probably under the impression that "amazon's choice" means more than an automatic algorithmically derived badge. the wording implies a conscious decision was made, but there was none it would be bette

here in my part of canada temperatures are regularly deadly, ie below 0°C. its a legitimate problem for homeless and otherwise vulnerable people. while some parts of the world warm to become uninhabitable, others will warm to the opposite.

it's fascinating that this [satirical] comment is the top post while the article itself has simultaneously made the front page. like the comment above alludes to, this article is absurd , yet, there seem to be many who take it serious

this is absolutely true, but, what drives experiments are hypotheses , not just wishful thinking . a hypothesis is "a supposition or proposed explanation made on the basis of limited evidence as a starting point for further investiga

note the "unknown probability of success". why can't the probability be calculated? because based on known assumptions, it's 0. that means for the probability to be above 0, some of our assumptions have to be wrong (ie n

such epistemic issues apply to all domains of knowledge. also, anecdotal evidence, ie, "what worked for them", is still valid data, and should be valued as such

that's too harsh. philsophers are experts at a particular way of thinking: logic. it is surprisingly powerful for clarifying ideas and advancing knowledge, in much the same way as mathematics or the scientific method are. we would not
