Isn't that sort of the same thing? To what end does one integrate sensory information other than to make predictions or classify things?

I'm skeptical of the idea that if we just looked deep enough we'd find our "genuine" selves. As if we were the representation of some platonic ideal of ourselves. Also, assuming such a thing does exist, why assume it wou

Without some sort of equality or law of conservation it seems to me that nothing would be very easy to figure out. Maybe that is where the golden rule comes from, try and hold one social variable in place so that everyone can more easily un

Since 1934 automatic weapons were required to be registered with the ATF, in 1986 they stopped registering new ones. You can still get pre 1986 automatic weapons, but you have to pay out the nose for them. I don't think a registered au

consider the following scenario: In a battle between melee and ranged units the ranged units want to maximize their surface area touching the ranged units so that all the melee units can attack at once and quickly change targets once an ene

I think the moods of adults can't change as quickly as kids. If someone is thinking about something with a serious look on their face and you flash them a big grin it creates something of a cognitive dissonance since their mood is at a

Of course, having an attractive face is also correlated with intelligence and wealth.

I don't think you are willing to have a reasonable conversation on the subject.

I would recommend a document known as The declaration of independence. It is quite short and does a decent job explaining the reasoning.

I used to notice a lot more bugs when I was a kid. Until recently I thought it was because I was closer to the ground back then :)

He was probably convinced that the democratic party wanted to assassinate him; "Can't we just drone this guy" is what Hillary Clinton allegedly said. He isn't even a US citizen and the Obama administration already assass

I doubt the claim was fabricated. There are dedicated groups of people who attach themselves to any controversy and send death threats all around just to cause a stir. And it works so well!

Ignore the professional LARPers, paid trolls, political party propaganda outlets, and social media junkies and everything seems pretty normal.

Yeah, for people unfamiliar with starcraft bw: Whereas in other strategy games you may be able to improve the effectiveness of a unit 2-3x by micromanaging your units perfectly, in bw microing certain units perfectly can improve their effec

The chance of your nail hitting pointy side first is very low. A ball bearing, being spherical, will always deliver maximum energy to the smallest point possible.

You could just as well say communists aren't on the left because communism is supposed to be a stateless society. If we're going to stupidly map all of politics onto one dimension we have to apply our reasoning equally stupid to b

Anecdotally, by far the raunchiest place I've ever worked was a catering job that had a pretty even male/female split (not sure if it was exactly 50/50) with women overseeing the operation. That place was a lot of fun.

I don't see how that scenario makes any sense. If the rich and upper middle class could maintain such lifestyles by themselves + automation then why wouldn't others have access to it?? Will the robots refuse to work for the poor?

what happens if I type in /user/654322/orders instead of /user/654321/orders? Did I just access someone else's account?
