What is the intent of yours? Are you not able to understand a simple interrogatory sentence? That seems unbelievable, given that you clearly know how to write them.

What is your point? Pointing out a curated list of photos online does not point to any inconsistency with critizing Facebook. If it does, that is merely coincidental and does not speak to the intent behind my post.

So is there a reason these are online? [removed link to photos out of concern that it is unrelated to the OP]

Nope. Promiscuity is not so frequent as can be attested to in the generally prevalent pattern of monogamous relationships. If promiscuity were to increase over a number of generations, that would be more on account of increased safety pract

Yes, but it's more fun and edifying to prove it. :) It's so rare I get an opportunity to whip out propositional logic and formal proof methods that I hardly balk at the opportunity. ( hears groans from non-nerds )

"All Kim ever cared about was how to promote himself on Twitter." In sum, he's a total scumbag. I thought he was a cool guy, but now I think otherwise.

Now that the FBI has erected itself as the in-the-clear spying apparatus, you can likely kiss any rights you have today good bye down the road, if you're not a billionaire yourself.

The author can believe whatever is fashionable. I dare you to consider the body of all psychological literature on the subject of the personality. It is so apparent and obvious that the personality is neither fixed nor completely mutable th

by superobserver 10y ago
Yes, actually, it is, in the context of there being two, spuriously postulated dichotomous outcomes, whereas it is clearly the case that neither is true. What would it mean for a personality to be fixed? Such a thing doesn't even begin

Let me guess, you probably make a lot of presumptive statements that have no basis in reality about what a lot of people say. Or perhaps that is just in this instance. I can, nevertheless, point out to you that that isn't going to get

by superobserver 10y ago
Short answer: no. Long answer: no. The supposition that the personality is completely fixed or completely mutable is simply false. There are fundamental constraints to how the personality can be manifested. Histrionic personalities are perh

We can debate the "he said she said" until the cows come home. It is no mystery that HRC supports and champions oligarchic policies. The TPP is being pushed by the Obama administration who have added their support to her presumpti

She said so after she said she supported it. It will be a matter of time until she "evolves" on that matter again. Mark my words, if she's elected.

This comes across to me as nothing more than proof that Google is doubling down on HRC being elected now.

I would somehow think that is itself a canary, but I have some misgivings about that.

This is something of a repost: https://hn.algolia.com/?query=Uncommonly%20Difficult%20IQ%20... That aside, these tests are far too old (ca. 1995) nowadays to be the real deal. Look nearby and you're sure to find more u

This kind of thing about SW goes back years. As a distantly related tangent, even Patrick Gunkel of Ideonomy fame wrote a review on Wolfram's ANKS in 2002 that could give one some pause, at least for a time, if one hadn't the wher

No, I think you made the correct decision. Wolfram must finally be learning something about how to make a comfortable verbal approach.

Or stow a backup of your (yubikey) hardware in an encrypted (hopefully, zero-knowledge based) cloud service and restore when lost.
