Not according to the United States of America's Declaration of Independence (http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/declaration_transcript.html). Formally, in the USA, our Creator endows us with our rights as humans. Using this same model, we (as the creators of machines) would grant rights to our creations as we see fit. And we're not offended if you don't like it-- We'd actually be happy if you created the perfect country, with perfect rights for all. Go for it.
So, then, no fact exists outside of science?
If so, doesn't the fact that science requires observation and repeatability imply a weakness?
Perhaps a factual, world-knowledge-altering event is witnessed by a lone observer (assume this person is known to be of sound scientific background), yet the observation is (perhaps by its nature) unrepeatable and unknowable to anyone else. The observer stands fast to their belief that the details of the witnessed event are now fact, but no one else in the scientific community believes it. So, the observation, however unscientific, remains fact to at least one observer.
Were it to happen, what would you make of this experience? Does science allow for it? Would any newly-witnessed facts be true? False? Would there be a superposition of "fact" and "not fact" from some reference frame?
I guess I should have read all of the comments before I posted, huh?! I said something to the same effect. School bullying is often the root cause of school shootings. So, stop the bullying if you want to stop more of the shootings.
So, what then for cases like Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington? They both are reasonably sized cities which border each other on a state line, effectively creating a single metropolitan area. Many sleep in Vancouver, yet live their lives in Portland; and, of course, vice versa.
You forgot to mention personality.
And I'm not talking about "I figured out his personality from the interviews"... I'm talking about really getting to know someone. That is the primary key (if you will) to creating relationships in the workplace. Because it's not just a workplace. It's a place where you and I work with others, and we, in reality, do more than work.
If I had to choose, I'd take someone with less "expert" math knowledge, and more "expert" personality.
Fundamental programming methodologies, such as Test Driven Development, seeming to be increasing in popularity. To what extent does Khan Academy teach any form of fundamental software development methodology, and why?
Good points.
What about a hypothetical painter (who has a perfect photographic memory) painting key frames of their own experiences, transcribing all relevant conversations, and associating those transcriptions with the painted frames? Is that equivalent to videotaping? What if they didn't transcribe the audio, and just painted?
I'm not arguing for any side; I'm just thinking out loud...
If they weren't working in the US they would be doing the same work for US companies overseas. Visas allow the workers to work here where they also contribute more to the US economy as well as US society. They might also start companies and create jobs. True, wages may fall in the short-term, but having a larger educated and working population will help us in the long run.
Does that scale to the point where there are no more whites in America? I'm not claiming that case to be good or bad, by the way; I'm claiming it as a thought exercise.
E. Boring says, "Intelligence is what intelligence tests measure;" H. Woodrow says it's "the capacity to acquire capacity."...Me? I say that's flimsy and uninteresting! Let's combine the two into the Boring-Woodrow definition of intelligence.
Sorry for the miscommunication--- when I said blind I meant "have someone else serve you a poured beer from a bottle and can, at the same time, without you knowing which is which. Pick your favorite, then."
Isomerized alpha acids, found in beer brewed (boiled, energy applied) using most forms of humulus lupulus (common hop) as an ingredient, can be split by the energy of visible light, or especially-eagerly-split by UV radiation. One of those resulting pieces, from the split, becomes 3-methylbut-2-ene-1-thiol. This is the thiol by which "skunked" beer earns its infamy. Brown (dark amber) glass is decent at protecting beer; opaque containers are the best. Additionally, and separately, a better oxygen seal for the lid of said container will guard the beer from oxidation. Oxidation of beer results in 2,3-pentanedione, trans-2-nonenal, and others. Some oxygen gets into cans; more gets into bottles. Of course, keeping your beer stored in a cool place will reduce oxidation, in either case.
I completely disagree, beer definitely tastes better from a bottle, I find the can seems to do something nasty to the taste, similar to soda cans. beer is also best drunk while relatively freshly bottled and you should never store it in the light anyway.

Do we have a bigger school shooting problem, or a bigger bullying problem?

You should name the companies.

Couldn't agree more!
Interesting; that's a possibility I hadn't considered.
No worries. Maybe I should have said "significant minority" instead of "no more".
Why would they not be allowed?

I guess I don't feel like such an idiot for using vim and tailing my access log. :)

The problem is BPA might be toxic, so even if...

Have you done a blind taste test to confirm this?
