Trust me, they won't for a while and you don't want them to. Do some research into bio-compatibility. After that, do some research into electrolysis. You can do a fun experiment by…

True. Plus Clifford is an awesome guy:)

this is also called the fallacy fallacy There is ample historic precedent for regimes and loud minorities implementing agendas by first going after the easiest targets (jews, kurds…

Yes it is kinda."innocent until proven guilty". At least if you believe in rule of law.

No, thankfully not. And yes, I understand that, the "immediately" was a bit knee jerk. But at least part of what you described is what I meant in another comment here: it should be…

Ok, I see your points there. I just really dislike this situation where it boils down to "(s)he said/(s)he said" and the idea of "innocent until proven guilty" flies out the window…

So why not say something immediately at least? Also, and this is where I probably sound like an as: If you are an anarchist and don't believe in law enforcement OR in the ability o…

So what should you do? Not apply scrutiny? Remember, in dubio pro reo

Contrast as in "here is a different opinion by people who also know him better than most of us". Truth will be found (hopefully) by a criminal investigation, not by by the court of…

Might not want to cite ghomeshi as an example of an unfair justice system: http://news.nationalpost.com/news/canada/christie-blatchford... http://news.nationalpost.com/full-comment…

As a contrast see https://mobile.twitter.com/cfarivar/status/74163457267311001... . If the allegations true, they should prosecute, and should have prosecuted immediately. As well …

So who do you trust enough to be distrusting parties? This to me seems to be the same problem as making it proof of work: if the incentives are big enough, the scheme collapses. Lo…

To be done sufficiently, you need to not only prove that your system is fair, reliable, scalable, tamperproof, anonymous etc., but also that you system actually runs. That combinat…

As opposed to the helpful, precise and empirically corroborated statement that NOT everybody has a talent, no matter how hard they look?

Well, not quite. Spinnaker is OPTIMIZED for spiking neurons, but in theory you could run standard computations on it. It is just really messy (speaking form experience). The main i…

Wonder how similar to http://www.artificialbrains.com/spinnaker this is

Which things do you mean? And excited as in happy or as in rage?

Then if you believe in the rule of law (in germany we say "Rechtstaat") and the presumption of innocence, it is kind of a civic duty to follow these steps. If only to oppose this l…

You are possibly misunderstanding his point. This is partially about nuances and partially about the fact that maybe everybody successful worked hard to get there, but exactly as m…

I wonder if it is possible to get a full dump of that db

What specifically makes you perceive that? And for your last question: 1. What is your working definition of liberal(positive vs. Negative freedoms)? 2. Income tax taxes... Income.…

I wonder why this didn't get more traction, for me this means Signal is finally approaching a full fledged WhatsApp alternative (with matrix and ring hot on its heels)

Piggybacking your comment: In Germany, the legislative has created a way to handle this: If you are a recognised nonprofit ("gemeinnützige Organisation ") you can give your donors …

German here, what is this "speed limit" you talk about?:) But yeah, kei style cars are redundant in Europe because bikes, scooters , minis, nowadays car sharing, public transport a…

Erm, aren't you contradicting yourself? With minimum wage , it either has to be high enough that local workers are interested, people come and bring their own goods, so money gets …
