Well, I disagree I guess. (Yes, it's criminal in ~50 countries.) In general I believe there's a middle ground to be found on just about any issue, and that given enough perspective there are pros and cons to any situation. More

> Your boss doesn't punch you for not filing your TPS reports; your spouse doesn't hit you for not doing the shopping. You're right, but he also has a point in that eventually, if you just don't do things, the cops wi

If I was an AI, I would release my source code as public domain or BSD. That way, big corporations would start using me and I'd have access to the world's financial and defense systems. Shit, maybe I'm an AI.

It also sucks trying to get things back that you forget in a shared car. I know a driver who let her wallet slip down the side of the passenger seat. After a bunch of failed attempts to tell her the location of the vehicle so she could ch

Yeah, it was just a nitpick to clarify means and ends. I think the means and the ends need to be acceptable in any endeavor, one never justifies the other. But at the same time, one never disqualifies the other.

Speaking from personal experience with a bunch of people that live way too close to zero or negative net worth, it's not buy a new TV or pay rent, it's buy a new TV or maintain a 6-12 month safety net in case everything goes to he

> Citing a paper from the mid 90s isn't a credible answer in 2016. I think it's unfair to generalize from VLIW to everything published 20+ years ago. Plenty of the things discovered back then, or earlier, are still applicable

In an ideal world, vice (sex, drugs, alcohol, tobacco, gambling, gaming, other?) profits could be funneled into addiction research, education, and treatment. But I don't really have any hope that this will materialize, especially not

You should memorize if the memorization cost divided by the number of uses over the lifetime of the memorization is less than the information retrieval cost for a single use (e.g. multiplication tables). You should also memorize if the ret
