Using encryption? Seems pretty dubious. Also, camping and survivalism? These seem fairly orthogonal as well.

Your understanding is the same as mine, and I had to read that sentence a couple times to figure out that "musn't" should really read "must not". So far as I know, "musn't" only means "should no

Good work, you've just confessed to a crime. Importing pornography into the US is illegal. https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/us-customs-is-req...

Probably an interested and intelligent community never developed because the commenting and threading tools are so poor. Any discussion of a movie on reddit is 1000x better.

I'm not rebutting anything. I mostly agree with you that we have inherent tendencies to be self-centered and selfish. I was just giving you the straightforward answer to your question. You asked if we can escape the human condition.

You're right; it's not normal. That's the problem.

Yes. You can die.

Credit scores are percentiles. It's mathematically impossible for the effect of taking an attribute into account to only lower sores or leave them the same. So, you could just as easily have said that they raise scores based on who i

You're right. But what I saw the computer do was repeat the same position thousands of times in an identical cycle of four moves. A decent AI should stop wasting its time and claim a draw at that point. So maybe this is also an AI s

My guess is that they don't delete anything due to regulatory and legal reasons.

Maybe he means that the person who said "your mom was a second mother" also came to the funeral?

It doesn't recognize threefold repetition draw. Also, a couple times I saw it miss some tricky tactics that would have won. Very nice and fun idea with a bit of polish. It needs a real chess engine.

I don't see anything in your comment about excess melatonin being evacuated.

The analogy to trampolines and bowling balls is leading you astray. There's no "pushing down", or even a downward direction to push in in general relativity.

I don't see anything in that study about excess melatonin being evacuated. The paper only talks about effectiveness as a sleep aid.

I did not do a double-blinded experiment, so I suppose I can't conclusively rule out a placebo effect. All I can say is that the effect is extremely unsubtle. 40mg of melatonin is a lot . It was a bad time in my life when I chose t

I can tell you with personal experience that this is not true. I have taken 30-40mg before bed, and there is a definite difference in my experience from taking 1-5mg. The sleepiness I felt 30-45 minutes after dosing was the most extreme s

My guess is that it's more like dollars per ride, on the order of 20-35% cheaper.

This past election season has taught me that you really can't trust anything written anymore. If you really want to understand you have to follow the links to source material. It's time-consuming.

The text of the law: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/8/1152 That law mentions visa issuance. But Trump is disallowing people with valid visas from coming in. Is it actually illegal? If so, what sp

by zeroer 10y ago
I agree with you. I wonder if Trump did this in the most inflammatory way he could manage on purpose.

by zeroer 10y ago
After thinking about it for a while, I realized the law is about issuance of visas. Trump is disallowing people with valid visas from entering the country. It's not clear to me that there is a conflict here.

Does this executive order violate the constitution?

by zeroer 10y ago
Thanks for that reply. It looks like the text of the relevant law is here: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/8/1152 The law as written references a lot of other sections, but it seems pretty straightf

Easy. Just prop it open.

I've seen multiple people write that it's illegal or unconstitutional, but I don't understand how. Can you help me connect the dots to see which law or part of the constitution it violates?
