I meant to say shared context. Everything you said is part of a shared context or not, those are the only two options.

That is interesting, but it is also an answer to a different question. The question is "are there any blue reds?" not "can we see in some circumstances reds as blue?".

Not so clear, because you see, that is another question. This is why we need to define things very explicitly and then accept the implications of those definitions or we’ll never get anywhere. Now that you accepted that there is a paradox i

All those options are the same: they are either part of a shared experience or they are not. Nothing is preventing a demon from deceiving me right now, in fact one can come anytime I'd love to meet him, preferably her.

Solipsism is basically the only defense against the conclusions from the evidence of the "real" world. But if you argue for solipsism then I say you have much bigger problems than consciousness because you basically rejected ever

Violet is not blue and it is also not red. I'm not asking for a bluish red but for a 100% blue color that it is also red. You are misusing the language, or rather I am in this case, to ask a paradoxical question. Where are all the cat

I was talking about the royal you: we. But more importantly, "when" the question was first asked doesn't change the nature of the question. Sure, you (we) can ask it, but it is no more insightful that the myriad of other me

Everyone is worried about video and rightly so, or maybe is just being used as an example, but my question is: Could ISPs prevent in any way Software Updates? Could they block (for example) a patch that would fix a bug allowing them to mim

I think the downvotes most of all reflect the fact you didn't bother to read the article. The discussion is about soccer , not american football .

I picked the biggest category of apps just to show you having a watch app is irrelevant when picking an iPhone app for everything in the app store but a very narrow set of categories, and you just demonstrated that. Yes, fitness is great, m

That is all well and good, but that is not the point. The point is the App Store is bleeding watch apps every day, and Apple needs to convince developers that the watch is worth it. Even you admit that the only reason for a developer to hav

by redial 8y ago
That is what in theory you think happens. What actually happens is that in very few app categories that is the case. For example, not a single game is losing market share to a competitor because they do not have a watch app.

Any potential the Watch has is clearly not enough for a strong app market to develop. > Which developer wants to miss out on serving potentially millions of users? You are forgetting that most developers already have millions of potentia

by redial 8y ago
It matters for Apple, for developers? not so much. Millions of users and not a single third party "killer" app.

Sure, but I think about it this way: every cent you can take away from Facebook is a cent they can't spend on more spying. They left and now Facebook is gonna do it anyways and is gonna cost them 400 million less.

Considering the value Apple has extracted from NeXTSTEP, they certainly underpaid for it.

Everything you said is right, but you are missing the point. Thinner means more luggable, but if it restricts a workhorse machine from having more than the 16gb of ram the base model can also have because they can't fit enough battery

It is as interesting as any other vague creation myth that can be made to fit with whatever you want.
