It is the dishonest press reporting their speculative idea for a database of account influencing *relationships* with WikiLeaks doxing home addresses. As they stated the idea is to look at the network of *relationships* that influence -- not to publish addresses. For those outraged by their suggestion, it is something Wikipedia, Google and Facebook already does.
I agree with this. Overnight economic paradigm shifts are what destroyed many countries. Incremental change is good to test the waters and undo the change if necessary. Even then too much attachment to a policy is bad.
I predict once we cut down the working days per week, we will find problems we need to resolve before we make UBI happen.
Personally, I think UBI is human domestication by elites, much like how pets get free food and restrictive reproductive privileges from us. But I am willing to be proved wrong.
“Nature is not embarrassed by difficulties of analysis. She avoids complication only in means. Nature seems to be proposed to do much with little: it is a principle that the development of physics constantly supports by new evidence.”
Quantum physicists maintain, that quantum mechanics is not an emergent property of an underlying reality. They do believe that reality magically finds solutions to hard problems in quantum mechanics.
I don't agree with them. But I am just a random neckbeard on the Internet who likes Bohmian mechanics, which allows for such a underlying reality, the statistical properties of which is what QM describes. For critics who say Bohmian mechanics can't be relativistic, yes it can. For critics who say Bohmian mechanics needs non-locality, non-locality happens anyway in experiments no matter what theory you use to describe it. The real reason why Bohmian mechanics was abandoned was because Bohm and his predecessors were accused of commies. And the western establishment didn't like their ideas.
Navier-Stokes equation has an underlying reality, the emergent properties of which it is trying to explain - it is the fluid particles, which interact with each other using simple laws.
When history of these times are written scientists of quantum mechanics today would be considered like the scientists of planetary epicycles and scientists of Descartian physics..
There will be a simpler causal interpretation of the evidence which supports quantum mechanics without all the magic: De Broglie–Bohm theory.
Strange how what the western world calls egalitarian, means meritocracy in the east.
It could be a acceptance of the word engineered by the intellectuals, so that when they change the meaning few will notice. Sorry to be conspiratorial.
Buddha said human needs are unlimited. Unfortunately human ability is limited. Therefore from each according to his ability to each according to his need is a surefire way to bankruptcy.
I wait for the day when government subsidized sex robots will be claimed as an essential human need. After all isn't it true that sex is a basic human need for human well being?
Great Britain and Rome did not go away because other countries attacked it. Great Britain and Rome weren't gone in a day.
The only thing the USA needs to fear is civil war this century after people around the world stop USD. After that California will lead the secession from the union because it is the 8th largest economy in the world. It cannot afford to pay for the rest of the USA.
Currently the world uses USD and suffers its devaluation because the world wishes to outsource war to the USA. This is the reason why QE(n) doesn't cause hyperinflation.
Why is the government in the channel bundling issue?
Should the government regulate how much we excrete too?
Government doing everything in business is becoming more like how conspiracy nuts say Aliens are responsible for everything.
I'd like to make a prediction: This plan will not be tried.
This is because the premises of environmentalism are:
Human Beings are evil because they exist. a.k.a Original Sin
The ideal is the natural. And the natural is everything except the human being
The second premise leads to the conclusion, that all human manipulations of reality is evil. And adding iron sulphate to the oceans is very manipulative. The only plans against global warming that will tried are those plans which limit human manipulation of world to suit his existence and happiness. All kinds of restrictions and obligations which limit human well being will be implemented. And we will be asked to accept the sacrifices for the ideal: i.e. a world were we do not exist. A more anti-human philosophy cannot be imagined.
It is natural therefore it is good is the naturalistic fallacy.
Saying something is unavoidable and immoral is a contradiction. That which is outside the province of choice is in the province of morality.
Rationality is not automatic. You need to will it. Rationality is not necessary. The default state of the mind is fatalistic. But the default is not the good in this case, because reason is our tool for survival. We must use reason if we must survive.
Therefore we, who are the protectors of the human race, are agreed, as we view the situation, that decisive legislation is necessary, so that the long-hoped-for solutions which mankind itself could not provide may, by the remedies provided by our foresight, be vouchsafed for the general betterment of all.
Well said.
Since Having a gun, or a facebook account, greatly increases the risk that others will shoot you (unintentionally or otherwise), there is nothing to gain by not having a a gun, or a facebook account.
In other words we have a Nash equilibrium. i.e. a situation where no one has anything to gain by acting differently from their neighbors (opponents).
Therefore, it is wise to carry a gun when everyone around you is. And it is wise to have a Facebook account when everyone around is.
Facebook doesn't cause divorces. People cause divorces.
Guns don't kill people. People kill people.
Both guns and Facebook are inanimate tools, that are initiated by volition. These tools just make it easy to shoot ourselves in the feet and rightfully so. We must exercise caution when using any tool. Personal responsibility lies with us until the tools malfunction.

BTW You are literally Hitler for wanting eliminate trolls.
You underestimate the power of software to jump airgaps. Imagine spreadsheets bringing down, everything.

Denial is the most predictable of all human responses.
Just in case human beings go psycho, somebody in the intergalactic union will press a red button to slightly nudge the asteroid.

The best I can do is 10 dollars.

It is not enough that the next energy source can replace oil. The next energy source must beat oil in terms of $/KWh. Only then will people switch.
Just because you can find a needle in a haystack does not mean we should start storing needles in haystacks.

Small moves, Ellie. Small moves.
Are you saying people in the government are incapable of psychopathy? Are you saying the will of the majority is infallible and that it does not lie?
It sounds like arrogance and condescension.
SETI should look for Alien messages in Neutrinos. Not radio waves.
oooo.. I am really afraid of this guru guy. Without his vote it is going to be really hard to tell the world that which needs no telling to be true.
