Genuine question, it can't possibly be reachable on 127 anyway can it? Put another way, what's the difference between 0 and 127 here? What makes it safer? TIA

I'd actually agree with you, that I misrepresented him (and didn't check the meaning of civilisation - good catch there!) except for his last line, to wit "Perhaps the Ancient Intelligence can help retain our humanity as we t

Pretty silly suggestion if you knew a bit about ancient history, or not so ancient. Slavery, oppression by any means (taxation or force), fights to the death as entertainment, hideous punishments, genocide, immense inequity, tyrants killing

Oh god yes. But you can't trust any organisation in general that's grown large and is profit-oriented. This isn't quite in line, as it's about the 1960s when they were going mad with new drugs, IIRC a sleeping pill was s

True, but "should not be there in the first place" is a moral judgement - no-one should have to deal eg. with clinical depression or intense anxiety, or psychosis. Or painful arthritis or the rest of the evils a biological entity

Having taken a couple of psychiatric drugs over a long period (antidepressents - ADs), I',m not sure where your claim that "they're addictively mood enhancing" comes from. IME ADs aren't. My brother has needed to ta

"patio"? I assumed you meant Patois, but I'm not sure now.

Thank you, interesting but not what I heard. It was just 3 chords repeated, nothing else but the singing. It was very minimal. But thanks anyway!

Highly off-topic but maybe someone can help, The title rang bells for a bit but turns out the wrong ones. There was a track I heard by terry callier (not collier) which had 3 chords (not 4), repeated slowly over and over, and sung over. I l

Just a note, as a brit I've heard the term ponce, used in the sense of scrounging, exactly once in my whole life. A mate told me how she wanted to get into a punk gig and was down in the underground 'poncing for money'. Cue m

You're assuming it (edit: non-emotional intelligence) is one single unified thing. I'd say there are many kinds of intelligence, and many things that feed into intelligence that, if modified, could affect it (very simple example,

Let them go and you have no definitional basis on which to argue, and then how can you engage? I can't see any debate can be at all possible like that. As a general principle agree your definitions before you lock horns and you'll

That's not what was asked for. However I understand where you're coming from and am with you. I wish I had the chance to use TLA, or all the other goodies that seem ruled out by the results now and damn the bugs! mindset.

The CCP controls the markets. It's not a free market and thus not capitalism (I am ready to be corrected on any of these points). But that's an aside, the point is that exploitative labour practices come about because of what @net

I can't see any reason to downvote this, I don't think it's at all wrong.

I don't know if this is what you're asking but I'll reply from a different perspective, as many here are giving excellent technical responses. Tech of any sort is a tool, just like a hammer or screwdriver, but more complex.

Go to your profile, set showdead to Yes, then you'll see nuked comments. It was just some silliness about sexism. Mild troll or weak humour, can't tell.

I've read the wiki page and still don't get what the big deal is about the ackermann function. Can someone explain? TIA

Maybe. I recall shortly after sept 11th 2001 when there was general panic in the US, some guy there was arrested for possessing a book. He'd just taken it out of the library. Here in the UK there are deliberate 'chilling effect&#x

I realise people don't care. I don't understand how they can so freely ignore that this has consequences and not always even long term ones. Given that I do recognise people won't change, would it help if I did learn to under

People always do the right thing and don't dither, don't procrastinate, always evaluate the long term consequences? Sure they do.

That's very civil of you, upvoted. OK, now I can answer. It's all a balance of investment, payback (which can be direct - "gets me a job" - and nebulous life-quality stuff - "that's interesting!") and erm,

It would be a better question if you asked it fairly: "Have you already learned everything". I did not suggest or imply 'everything' should be learnt.

I can't accept that not caring is ok. The small "I don't care" extends into "I don't care about anything outside my immediate environment" and that has political and eventually global consequences. If thei
