It would be more constructive, if you defined “anticipate”. Your dismissal really needs that to be taken seriously.

Simple proofs are often only possible, because the language of mathematics become increasingly descriptive over time. The language conveniently helps us make incredibly complicated…

You were completely at liberty to not join this conversation that you are clearly not interested in having. Yet here you are.

Why? I’m Danish, and homeschooling is imcredibly rare in Denmark, and I frankly can’t see the appeal. What is it that makes it so compelling?

Did something interesting happen?

The thing about bugs is their subtle influence on overall product quality. It's like building a wall; if one layer of bricks is laid unevenly, at least a number of layers built on …

Also the fact that WotC has promised over and over that these cards would never get reprints, not even non-tournament legal reprints.

I couldn’t have said it better myself. With three kids, my current side project is my day job , at least if measuring by workload. Taking on more work, voluntarily or not, will be …

Governments can also violate all your other rights as well. But this completely irrelevant to the post I responded to.

I did not imply that it was.

Governments could easily use private data to blackmail or silence you, even if you’ve done nothing illegal. This is perhaps the primary reason that the right of privacy even exists…

The “only valid use cases” of privacy is not to hide illegal or criminal activity. Crypto currency is a wasteful, destructive, expensive and innefficient technology that has few be…

> SAP is sold to the C=suit, never to IT or business operations, nor any of the people that will ever come onto contact with the software. Plenty of terrible corporate software wor…

I don’t get why you got downvoted. A common piece of advice for building habits is to set trivial goals and to let them snowball.

Bureaucracy is foremost a tool for control, and the cost is time, friction and/or autonomy. Sometimes this control is great, as it can streamline processes, which can make employee…

> “is AI going to torture us for eternity if we don’t praise it enough?” Probably not. It is after all not an Abrahamic god…

I don't know what context you read my comment from, but the comment I responded to ended with the following paragraph: > The "hard problem" seems to mostly exist in the minds of pe…

I would be much more disconcerted if we were super special. I want to “just” be a semi-random byproduct of the natural laws and processes. I’m completely fine with that. On the con…

I don’t think that’s an interesting question at all and misses the point completely. We have no idea, what causes the sensation of subjective experience. Assuming that sentience is…

I don’t find it terrifying in the slightest. I find it naive. Our understanding of the world reflects our modelling of the world. Empirical science models the world in terms of pro…

> This is what we, humans, do too when we talk. All these people talk about intelligence in such tautological terms... It's discouraging. But is it all that we do? And how do you k…

I would guess that it is a convention used to highlight a code dependency. “If you remove or rename this class, the code will break.”

Can confirm. IME, software that does less usually end up achieving more.

Haskell has “otherwise” as a built in constant that equals true. It reads better in some cases. f n | odd n = 3 * n + 1 | otherwise = n \\ 2
