I played Heroes Unlimited with a friend who's religious parents let him play the game, but required him to avoid any and all magic mechanics in the game, since magic is in contradiction with religion and God's ultimate power.

The only thing that needed to be corrected was that there was another version of the virus in laos instead of hubei. The main points of the article still stand.

excepting some crazy multi step ko that is possible in theory, it never happens in practice. There is nothing wrong with ko, it adds depth to the game. maybe they dont like ko becauase they have a weakness in their play and cant take advan

That's the counterfactual Scott is asking us to consider. See this comment for elaboration on exactly what kind of relevance rhis counterfactual has for QM https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30117928

You're either getting caught up in the incidental religious reference, or failed to interpret Scott's conciseness. See this comment for elaboration on exactly what kind of counterfactual Scott is asking https://news.yco

You're begging the question by asserting the universe = QM. QM is just a description. He's asking the if there is an alternative to QM that also fits the data, that could make the universe the way it is; if there isn't an ob

No, he's asking how to fit the data we do observe , and why QM is the obvious conclusion compared to other theories that fit the data that we do observe .

Q1 answers the anything else part, not Q2 which is only limited to variations of properties of QM.

This assumes a differnt universe could have been possible. What pool are you sampling from? What notion of probability are you relying on? scott is not asking what other universes were possible. he's asking to explain why QM must be t

by platz 5y ago
Scotts question is better because it asks to explain why the universe as we see it needs QM. Your question is unbounded because you're asking us to imagine an alternative that doesn't exist; there could be infinitely many reasons

#4 isnt about the accuracy of the fine structure constant. #4 is about limiting the discussion to QM as opposed to dealing the claim that QM is incomplete - that maybe the only reason it gives us probabilities for events is because its inco

Religion isn't relevant to the question scott is pursuing and neither is your aversion to it.
