Ok. I thought you might have something particular or obvious in mind by mentioning self driving cars. https://machineperson.org/existence.html#self-awareness I have spent some time…

Answering what is philosphy is philosophy. And thus, IMO, I am right. > Philosophy is what academics who work in philosophy departments do. IMO this is too restrictive. You reduce …

IMO the interesting point was the approach: - First thinking what could lead to progress. - Then progress in the form of 2 lists that answer the question if women should be allowed…

Sorry, I have not spent time with the philosophy of other people. Could you explain what you mean, especially with regard to my previous comment ? This is my opinion: https://machi…

IMO, progress in philosophy leads to science. First you think and imagine (philosophy) then you try and know and have made progress (science). From the article: Yes (with qualifica…

First: I had missed the part of your previous reply where you wrote that you too had downvoted my comment because of "my hubris". Unfortunately I read and replied too quickly becau…

Thanks for the clarification. I guess you did not downvote me. As always, reasonable interesting people do not downvote so easily. > We are in grave danger of dying out; I do not t…

Indeed, people are dangerously ignorant regarding Earth and Mars. If we can not rescue Earth, a biological paradise, we have no hope to make it on Mars, a biological hell.

> "50% of species" rather than "50% of population", which is a very big difference Loss of 50% of species is really bad. Population growth and climate change will only accelerate t…

Good point, java-devel sounds like C++ headers and libraries and not like Java. I do not contribute to the OpenJDK project or to the JVM either. There are standard packages in the …

Yes you are right. But as a Java developer I know and I care about the terms JRE and JDK that are used officially and on Windows and many Linux systems and MacOS. I was not aware o…

In Ubuntu it is called openjdk-11-jre and openjdk-11-jdk. With headless variants. I am no system admin and the -dev or -devel convention suits the Unix and C world but maybe not th…

Thanks. AFAIR I installed everything related to Java; maybe I made a mistake somewhere. I also tried to fix the problem with "alternatives --config java".

Thanks for the solution. Although I have no Fedora anymore to check.

It is a problem if the default JDK is useless and the solution requires research on the internet. I had even enough patience to search for more than 15 minutes AFAIR. I have been u…

I switched from Fedora 28 to Ubuntu because I could not make my IDE (IntelliJ, Netbeans, maybe Eclipse too) recognize the installed Fedora JDK (no valid JDK found). It seems that t…

Yes, there is evidence that psychedelics can be useful. I agree that they can be useful to give a different perspective to quit a rut, as you wrote. Still, according to experts and…

That is the problem with GMO. It is a useless word. It is important to know what is done and where the GMO is used: In some container or open air or open water.

I am no friend of drugs in general and psychedelics in particular. It might work to get out of a rut but, IMO, the risks (what dosage?) are not worth it. Certainly not without prof…

Yes, but genius should be not synonym with exceptionally talented. Although anything useful including natural perseverance or optimism and motivation should be called a talent. An …

I agree with you that an important and useful part of the GDPR is deletion of your data. Good examples: No advertising and spam. Prevention of later hacking and theft of your data …
