very true. It’s perfectly possible to be both extremely intelligent and extremely evil

I’m curious will this new knowledge will lead to new discoveries which might not have been possible due to working with the incorrect lengths in calculations?

There is no law preventing civilians from owning cannons and other artillery of any caliber so long as they are not automatic.

The idea that we can actually delete anything from a non physical system the hyper visor of which we do not control is absolute nonsense. Unless you have control over the physical system and the hypervisor all you can do is destroy your ability to access the information. We can never have confidence of how it truly works back end.

If pi is truly infinite wouldn’t it eventually express a sequence of information which would be self aware if expressed in binary in a programmatic system?

No what I’m saying has nothing to do with Android vs iPhone vs blackberry or any other phone. I can get a link on Skype or signal or anything. I don’t need clickable links in my SMS messages on any phone. Thanks

The idea of a UPS catching the server room or worse yet your house on fire is absolutely terrifying.

Are you implying that just because a question is raised, one must be “following” some teaching or sect?

I suppose the logical question is what defines justification for any tax on anything; if this can be defined perhaps we can establish reasoning for what items should be taxed and not be taxed.

So it would seem you are suggesting we have no free will/agency? If so you cannot take credit for any achievement you accomplish or lay blame on anyone for anything no matter the deed because we would be nothing but products of our environments

Are you implying that we have no free will and that we lack the agency required for responsibility of our action? Dangerous doctrine there if so; it would imply that all criminals no matter how heinous the crime are victims of the system and thus cannot be punished without said punishment being just an emotional expression of vengeance. It would also mean that you could never take credit for anything you have done because it is just a reaction to your environment. These are only a few implications of a lack of free will/agency

The problem is text messages are being abused for purposes they were never intended. I don’t need people sending me links in text messages. If I wanted that I would use some internet messenger

Whoever agrees with the philosophical idea of “Sin taxes” deserves whatever fascist world they end up creating. The idea that I owe someone because I decide to indulge in something unhealthy for me implies that other people own me.

Wouldn’t the probability that the next time it would be aliens increase every time it turns out to not be aliens

Most non physical things you are capable of buying have absolutely no value except what gullible people in large numbers ascribe to them. What you really want to invest in are stars, planets and magical items.

Imagine what scientists would think if particle accelerators started receiving small but measurable patternistic statistical deviations in their data they get while the experiments are running only to discover they are evesdropping on some advanced form of interstellar or intergalactic instant quantum communications, only to realize it’s a bunch of alien gamers of different planets talking shit to eachother

I’m genuinely curious. I would agree it’s possible that either could be true but how exactly would you even begin to speculate let alone calculate the supposed probability of either possibility?

In a heavy fireproof box along with the birth certificate, and other important papers. If you want extra protection put that box in a larger safe. This really isn’t a difficult question to answer. If you are trusting a third party to store your things, when something happens to their service or they terminate your account randomly you have only yourself to blame.

Yea but I don’t think anyone wants their bricks to rot

Does this imply file metadata content can effect the access performance of those files even for operations that do not directly concern the metadata?

I recommend reading this in Lucasarts gaming style text:

Meanwhile deep in a laboratory somewhere deep in the Caribbean…… several scientists hell bent on solving the landfill problem work frantically on bacteria which are capable of breaking down plastics as their primary food source.

Gravitation and any other field phenomena generally adhere to the law of inverse squares where the strength of the field decreases exponentially with linear distance change so without calculation I would say proximity for gravity detection would (generally) trump the initial strength of the field point

Something like this could fork the internet dns into multiple versions

Actually the money was never yours, it was created and is governed by the state. Every paycheck we get is made up of units that were created by the state out of thin air.

Allowing politicians to own property is a big mistake. If someone wants to be the president or a similar high up office, permanent lifelong loss of property rights should be required. Upon rising to a high governmental office, all property is sold and donated to charitable causes. This helps weed out selfish people.

Yea except it only benefits you if you are way below the poverty level. We need to make sure every one is benefitted so we don’t deincentivize seeking higher paying jobs just to keep basic benefits.

One of the problems with hardware constantly better is we are increasingly becoming modes tolerant of poorly optimized code. Fact: all second hand devices like cheap tablets, windows xp computers and what not work great until you connect them to the internet. I’m still waiting to be able to run complete hardware virtualization from an ARM processor so I can turn my phone into a hypervisor

Never trust anyone who gives you a command that both downloads and executes any script. That person is either malicious, incompetent or they know the risks and just don’t give a shit

You live in one of the states where there is no squatter law and where you can legally shoot and kill someone for trying to steal your car. There is no maximum rifle magazine size. Castle doctrine for the win. Michigan has some interesting demographics. About half of the population in Michigan is concentrated in about 4-5 cities, the other half of the population are spread across much more area and more spread apart. This explains why Michigan can be either a republican or democrat state, most of the votes for state are fairly tied.

Before this gets sensationalized more than it has, let’s consider that cognitive ability also plays a heavy roll in learning to play music. There may be some net synergistic effect music playing has on other cognitive function but the brain is also effected heavily when listening to music. I suspect there is not a link between musical training and cognitive abilities but they are the result of having a brain that can function well in whatever it does.
