Courts exist, among other things, to specify the rules in ambiguous cases. Rules will be ambiguous always.

Colima is in Mexico. Kolyma is in Russia.

As long as you can get an exogenous reaction from it, which is not guaranteed at all.

The self-replication assumes also that there is enough energy stored in each planet (or coming from a Sun) to do the work... That is pretty much unlikely.

Unbelievable: I read the title and the only thought I got was that households get 3h free energy in Australia.

OK, and the median?

Also "neuron" should be at least italized.

Well, that is what markets do: behave. Rationally or not. The 1929 panic was also irrational but it happened. There is no way to solve that. Panics happen and bubbles too, and in t…

That summurizes it pretty well. The Commission is essentially omnipotent, and there is no relevat judiciary to stop it. This is farcical. Yes, from a PURELY MONETARY viewpoint, Bre…

The first thought when moving people must be "where/how will they shit?" Only once this is solved can you ask "what will they eat?".

This is not even dumb. Unbelievable coming from act....

I would call it "Engineered (as machine-made trustworthy) Mathematics": you have results but nobody undrstands them but they were not produced by humans. Despite that, people use t…

Science is not about results, it is about the transmission of knowledge. So long as those AI-"sciences" are just inside AI, they are "engineering", not science. I am not dismissing…

Wow, I did not know this and -despite its drawbacks, like not being able to install apps from the Apple App store- this seems like a great way to have a powerful dumb-phone.

Notice that the space rule is not so in Spanish (the RAE ---the Spanish Royal Academy--- states in its rules that it must be separated from the main text on both sides but not from…

Well, actually I am worried about it. It needs to happen just once. Or for google to have a different kind of CEO (as companies are wont to).

You arw right. But precisely that fact made life much less stressful than today: it was normal to be poor, it was normal to die young.

You are right. But there is also the stress for the low and middle class and there horrible conditions of the poorest countries. Not so sunshiny when you think about the millions o…

That is in part why corporate taxes exist.

It is so weird that it makes 40% sense of 50% its length.

So clear! Thanks!!

On your first paragraph: exactly. This is not a competition, Emacs is just shared software, not part of a market.
