Well we can't all be that perfect, or at least, not without effort, Mister-Million-Dollard-Glutes-Muscles. :P

Both are belief, theories, expressed in a set of propositions. Stating this does not help anyone. The reason one is prefered is not that it is not con...

There could be a lot of real, down-to-earth value to algo mining, if it was applied to other domains of research. Cryptocurrencies that allow smart co...

Lol. I have no kid, no worries. Anyway, that was a Degrassi thing, if I remember right.

Depends on how precise about it you want to be. Programs like Cryptolocker became popular around 2012, when hackers started mass producing ready-for-u...

'Nature' doesn't reject and retry, tho. Talking about design in evolution is a metaphorical use.

We pretty much have complete control in general terms. A boner never forced anyone to do anything. But that boner is a sneaky little beast, with his o...

Oh, come on, be a sport. You asked me a question without specifying what it was about. What do you want me to tell you about?
December 05, 2017 at 08:08
About what? Like, how I wish Adolf Reinach hadn't died so young, and should've been the 1880-ish intellectual to come to proeminence out of the german...
December 05, 2017 at 07:29
Well, yeah, I guess. Depending on the reading. I know of no other philosopher who spent so much effort building an ontology just to show that ontologi...

Does it work? I mean, do you really need a picture saying that home is where the heart is at, to know that the home is where the heart is at?

You live in Alberta, right? Never understood why everyone there put motivational posters everywhere. X-)

Not only that, but you'll burn your GCUs a lot faster by having them constantly run high-end mining algorithms than by occasionally playing Skyrim. It...

Such a great show. Damn. I was supposed to do something else tonight than binge watch ST for a 4th time. Oh well.

Thank you! Ah chucks. I'm no closer to the dark hallways of power. :’(

Well, he doesn't spend his days flirting with me in the Shoutbox, so...
December 04, 2017 at 01:56
So. We went from justifying TL as a mod to simply stating she flirted her way into the role. I mean. Beyond the fact that this just expresses so well ...
December 04, 2017 at 01:04
Well that's not exactly true. The biggest risk is that you'll never be able to recoup your initial investment. I calculated a few months back when Eth...

Ethereum is at it's 5th (or 6th?) big hack n' steal in the last 4 months. And that's pretty much the only one you can farm reliably with low-end inves...

What's up with Quillette and it's hate-boner for postmodernism? Is it a pseudo alt-right hang out, or what?

There is more than one problem with subjectivity, and one of them is the one you refer to. It depends on what conception of subjectivity you aim with ...

Add a few slices of Salami and some stuffed olives, and you got yourself a feast.

Also, It would depend on what the meaning of "is" is.

I'm not sure what about facts is supposed to be simple. Wouldn't you think from the start that pinning down facts is going to be a contentious issue.
