The experiment demonstrates quantum entanglement. I gather you don’t believe this. So how about this: I don’t believe you. I don’t believe that you could, even theoretically , prod…

I’m not sure I follow your argument, but if I understand you right, I don’t believe what you’re quoting is relevant. From the article you are (I think?) criticizing: We measure a B…

Just to be clear, these are experimental results that are statistically impossible assuming a classical physics. Are you actually worried that they are somehow studying the wrong s…

Mmm, it sounds like we have some difference of principle, though not much in practice. I think I don’t see competing interests as zero-sum in the way you seem to. That is, suppose …

It’s also worth noting that as of 2015[0], this has been experimentally verified. We’ve made real-world measurements here that correlate with measurements made at the exact same ti…

Thank you for the candid response! I have to admit I’m a bit confused, though. In particular, these statements seem slightly at odds: > I really do have zero problem with animals k…

I’m genuinely curious: you ask if one has any problem. Do you mean to imply that you have zero problem with this? When you watch a big cat torture and eat a prey animal, do you not…

Why do you say that? It’s certainly in line with the spirit of the ADA, and a cursory Google suggests that lawsuits related to dietary restrictions have been successful. For what i…

“Intensely terrible” is one way to phrase “illegal under the ADA”... I would assume there will be accommodations made for folks with dietary restrictions that require them to eat m…

Should it? If I argue that it’s immoral to not vaccinate your children, am I failing in not arguing that wild deer should vaccinate their children?

So, I’ve never finished Infinite Jest. My father once told me that’s okay— it ends in the middle. Cloud Atlas employs the same structure deliberately, with wonderful narrative impa…

So did a lot of Nazis who enabled the Holocaust. Isn’t that the point? That’s maybe too flippant. “This is fake” is a way someone can rationalize doing something that they know is …

I don’t think that’s an accurate characterization of the criticism. The Milgram study, and its numerous replications, have pretty conclusively shown that most folks will do somethi…

I hear where you’re coming from, and we seem agreed that there’s nothing internet sleuths are entitled to. I do think we’re going to have to agree to disagree on this: The implicat…

That seems stronger than what I’m saying. The folks who can’t let it go, who are still trying to circumvent the family’s privacy, they obviously are motivated by something besides …

I think about this sometimes. I put together my own IoT infrastructure in our apartment. I did everything by hand: I wrote the embedded code, I wrote the server code, I pieced toge…

This is really interesting: It was then that the realization set in in the subreddit: after all these years, after hundreds of thousands of hours of theorizing and plotting and thi…

Reading further down in the docket reveals a few suggestive details. Of particular note, this filing which lead to the revocation of Schulte’s bail [ https://www.courtlistener.com/…

For what it’s worth, I’m poly and I disagree with that characterization. Polyamorous relationships are held to a different standard. A monogamous relationship where everyone isn’t …

At least in the US... A psychiatrist is a physician. They go to the same schools as future radiologists, surgeons, and general practitioners. They learn gross anatomy by dissecting…

I’m not sure that’s a counterexample either? The claim is “if X is in moderation, then X is fine”. If we let X be necessarily not in moderation, the claim holds of X by impossibili…
