"experiments demonstrating that motor action potentials appear before a decision to move is made. That is, free will is an illusion. " no. All the proves is the system is complex, and that some action are automatic, like blinking. Just because some action happen involentarily doen't mean no action is a product of free will.
There are some very specific tests I'd like to see done. For example: without free will how to you come to a new idea? how do you work out a math problem you have never done before?
I think the vast majority of what re do an say are rote and lack free will; but I think it's free will that allows us to change what we do. Evolutionary this makes the most sense to me(at this time), becasue you don't want to wade through a series of decision points when you need to get away, or avoid a danger.
yes. If free will is an illusion, I can manipulate our illusion to force you to 'make' decision I want you to. More accurately, increase the odds you make the decision I want you to.
Depends on what aspect of IT. Software development certainly is engineering. sadly only a few people have the experiences and engineering know how to apply it to software design. This is the primary reason software sucks. Bloated, spaghetti, illogically layers of unreliable bird crap.
IT work that means installing computers? no, stem is't really needed.
Of course the term Information Technology is pretty useless anyways.
You do know what scientific models are, fall back to a conspiracy, and use Ad Hom attacks. Nice argument~
DO you know the facts all this science is based on? at all? Let me clue you in: 1) CO2 is transparent to visble light 2) CO2 is opaque to infrared light. 3) Visible light creates Infrared frequencies when it strikes something.
Predictions form these faces: 1) The globe will trend up on top of preexisting cycles. Check 2) The upper most atmosphere will not warm: Check. and so on and so on
What do you propose will happen with the extra energy that is trapped?
yes, lets all follow the circle jerk, that way nothing anywhere gets done. And China is working on their issue, so I'm not sure what you mean by free pass. They are investing 10's of billions into cleaner systems.
No it enforces this rule pretty evenly across the board. I suspect in 5 years this won't be an issue becasue they will have proper regulation.
Drones are cheap. That means there will be a lot of them and we don't want a swarm of unregulated drones flying all about because it would be a hazard.
The VAST majority ( > 99.99%) of project done by the federal government are complete on time and budget and with little waste. All these number are available. The US government does it shit really well compared to pretty much every other government.
The only think hurting the government is people claiming the government can't do anything to strip it of funding so it can't do anything.
do you know what deficit means? WHy it eixsts? Becasue nothing in you post indicate you know what you are talking about
"Quick personal finance question." Stop. The government is NOT PERSONAL FINANCE.
"Can we afford ACA?
If the middle class can't afford it, how can the poor?"
Yes, and if you would read it you would know how. What, you haven't read it? I have.
If you have a choice between housing and insurance, which will you drop? Between food and insurance? Heat in the winter and Insurance.. Oh snap, insurance is now mandentory. Ok do you drop housing, food, heat, transportation?

"Welcom to the welfare state. You voted for it." it's not a welfare state, please make SOME effort to fucking learn.
frankly, I like the original better, where the government was going to just offer insurance. Remember that? funny how all the people who said the government can run anything panicked and fought hard to stop the ONLY thing that could have proved them right.
You do realize that there were more hijacking when airport screeners where non government employees, right? Right? The TSA exist becasue private enterprise failed. Dumb ass.
You are another jackass that refuses to look at facts.
Yes, becasue it's worked for decades. This article? well you should probably be aware that the NHS Confederation is a pressure group and its managers are 'not' officials; they are simply conveying the interests of their organisation.
A political stunt. Large system will change, every large system I a aware of has system to deal with and mitigate change and can adjust. But thats too complex for journalist, so when a group comes out and uses partial information and FUD journalist will just Parrot it instead of actual tell us the story.
Not that I expect fact to enter into your little biased hate filled narrative.

"It doesn't have "free" will. "
ah, so you have the definition of free will?
Please, enlighten us.
"experiments demonstrating that motor action potentials appear before a decision to move is made. That is, free will is an illusion. "
no. All the proves is the system is complex, and that some action are automatic, like blinking.

IF you give a definition that can be applied to something we all agree isn't alive, then the definition is incorrect, or at the very best, incomplete.
Differentiating "just chemical reactions" from "life" is the purpose of said definition."
why do you think there is a difference?
"even though it is just a chemical reaction."
Like humans.
They believe you set the temperature to where you want it and dutifully decide to do their job by turning on or off the appropriate device.
The same way people can believe there is a god when no evidence exists.
why do you assume self-awareness is needed to have free will? and how to you define self awareness?
yes. If free will is an illusion, I can manipulate our illusion to force you to 'make' decision I want you to. More accurately, increase the odds you make the decision I want you to.
You have very little, if any, free will.

Steward of the land approach did not work. Yields to low, loss to high, hard to predict, and doesn't feed enough people.

The current facilities will not be able to maintain the reduce stockpile. What, do people think stuff just maintains itself?

Is reading comprehension broken where you live?
The government didn't want to run a brothel, and they were dealing with legal issues.
I like how to just take all the bullshit and swallow like a cum hungry crack whore.
Non of those statements is actually true, but it fits you bias so you spew it out.
The NHS Confederation is not part of the NHS. They are a group that seems to get a boner thinking poor people with go without medical aid.
Seem to me the 24 hours is a pretty fucking long line.
You do realize that there were more hijacking when airport screeners where non government employees, right? Right?
The TSA exist becasue private enterprise failed.
Dumb ass.
You are another jackass that refuses to look at facts.
Fuck you

ASsuming it's actually an issue and not propaganda being spread by people who think it's ok of the poor to die.
bullshit.
70s not the 80s.
