Thanks for the overview. This is exactly the level of analysis I was looking for! >The Mach kernel (used by macOS and others) Where/how does this typically manifest itself? Why isn't macOS slow/sluggish?

I only have superficial knowledge of kernel-level systems, so a list of features doesn't give me a sense of a project's reason for existing. What's this project solving, exactly?

My point (albeit awkwardly stated) was that evolutionary psychology is fraught with post hoc reasoning. The post to which I was replying is one such example. The result is that neighboring academic fields are (rightly, IMHO) skeptical of

It's worth mentioning that the cognitive science community generally shuns evolutionary arguments, as they tend to be "just so" assertions. It's not that it's necessarily wrong, but rather unfalsifiable as such.

It's increasingly (esp. in the US) a touchy subject that paints a target on your back. But you're right. It's a valid (and interesting!) research question.

Yes that's very much my point.

I just want to hear why you think it's true. If you're making a claim, the burden of proof rests upon you, so please tell us what evidence you're considering. If you aren't willing to spell that out, we're not ha

That's not really an argument, that's an unargued statement of opinion.

In all fairness, though, these aren't isolated incidents. There seems to be some subgroup of the general population that suffers from SSRIs. That's what's interesting here -- what binds these people together as a group. In

Right, so it really doesn't solve anything. It just passes the buck further down. Blockchain is a solution in search of a problem, here.

I don't understand how this solves the problem: - if all links in the supply-chain are properly verifying/tracking components, why can't they send this verif/tracking data to their client's server? - if they'

On Linux/x86-32, the default stack size for a new thread is 2 mb. The default stack for a goroutine is 2 kb. Those 1000 goroutines eat up as much memory as roughy one OS thread. Granted, I've somewhat shifted the goalpost, but go

by presscast 8y ago
Ah ok, that's definitely an important distinction. Practical question: how does one determine whether an action is unconstitutional? How does one refer to "case history" (or whatever) if it's not written down?
115.
by presscast 8y ago
Right, this doesn't detract from your original point at all. I was just wondering if there was some technicality I was missing.

I'm surprised you use the term "constitutional crisis" here. Isn't the UK one of those rare countries without a constitution?

I appreciate the comment, but I think I need a much lower-level tutorial! I know practically nothing about SDRs or LTE.

I'd be really interested in seeing a tutorial for how to set this up.
