I agree. To say it's a fiction means nothing more than that there are many different ways we could categorize populations (even if they are based on real attributes ) into different buckets.

This reply starts by promoting specific methodologies, as though they fell from the sky. You may like them. They're still a matter of convention and choice. There is no unambiguous cut-off - that does not mean the clusters don&#x27

Are the clusters on these graphs an "invention"? The short answer is yes. The nuanced answer is that that graph, like any graph, has a methodology behind it. Why did they use one set of genes, instead of a different set, o

I would emphasize that this site pays its users, not just charges them. Otherwise it invites comparisons to ihave50dollars.com, the 'real-time social feed for people who have $50.' https://web.archive.org/web&#

Also, Constantine the Great created the Catholic Church. That an institution from Ancient Rome is still going strong today boggles my mind. If humanity is around ten or twenty thousand years from now, perhaps historians will just lump us to

What's the plan with this? Is it to incorporate it into Firefox to improve its Web Speech API implementation?

'Distinct in some context', I guess. Eg: a person could take a photograph of clouds in the sky and come up with list of rules to categorize them into a number of discrete clouds.

Can someone who knows more physics than I tell me if the question is even meaningful? My naive assumption is that we'd have as many dimensions as there are distinct things (atoms, I suppose).

We should start thinking of these breaches in terms of their accumulated impact. It's not the 1990s anymore, where data is difficult to store and networking too slow to move it. We should assume the leaked data doesn't go away;

To be fair I can't see a nation doing so except as a last resort because trying to enforce it would cause a lot of turmoil.

Your own government probably won't be able to (human rights and all) I can't see many high courts interpreting 'human rights' like that — not if there's a lethal enough virus, at any rate.

These are news organizations that do at least a modicum of fact-checking. Depending on the situation, it could be impossible for a fact-checker to prove that the two people in the story had an agreement and a prior relationship.

I noticed that. It's why afaic the most plausible explanation — considering the incredible claims — is that this is part of some experiment that has socially redeeming value.
