The early Universe postulated by the big bang was low in entropy. Another way to say low in entropy is low probability! The probability that the matter and energy of the Universe organized itself into the form postulated is an extremely low number. I mean really really really really small! Take the smallest number you can think of and make it a gazillion time smaller than that!
Now consider the probability that human beings made a fatal error in constructing the big bang theory. This number may be extremely small, but it is a gazillion times bigger than the former number!
The more likely possibility is that human beings made an error. Thus it is more rational to believe in the possibility with the greater probability, namely that human beings made a fatal error in constructing the big bang theory.
Welcome to David Hume's argument against miracles! It is valid.
David Hume's valid argument against miracles also works against the big bang!
In any human intellectual activity, there are 3 possible sources of error.
Known unknowns
Unknown unknowns (the unknowable)
Known unknowns (things we have been exposed to, but refuse to acknowledge, that is, prejudice)
The last two are by definition impossible to quantify. My guess is that they are much more common than the first. So let us limit ourselves to only the first kind of error. Estimate the probability that the human process that resulted in the big bang theory is fatally flawed by a type I error. Now estimate the probability of the big bang initial singularity! This number is immensely smaller than the other figure. Apply Hume's argument against miracles.
One finds it is not rational to believe in the big bang theory. This is a killer argument! I accept it.
If one examines the argument in detail one finds that it applies to any theory that assumes the 3rd law of thermodynamics over cosmic times!
What are the selection effects of the scientific method? A huge part of human life, has data that can not be made part of science. It not repeatable even statistically. It is not siteable in a journal. This non-repeatable info might not be important if the universe is impersonal. But how do we know that reality is impersonal? If the Lila is alive, then it interacts with the investigator. It could be like questioning a child. Science ignoring non-repeatable info, could be causing the Lila to be alter its response.
Science will never be able to prove that we live in an impersonal Universe, for which the scientific method always works. This is an assumption that you need to apply the scientific method. You can never prove your assumptions!
If you get too old the insurance costs to employer go up. But you are not allowed to discount that in the market, because that would be "discrimination". But they can refuse to hire you in the first place and make up some non discriminatory reason. So the reason old folks can't get a job doing a skill they know how to do, is because government decided to "help" them.
Instead, we must con women to do what they (quite rationally) don't want to do, so we can get our statistics right.
Remember this the next time government says it wants to "help" you.
Don't trust any router software unless you can put openwrt on it. The router companies have shown they can not be trusted. All companies are subject to enormous pressure from NSA. Control the software that runs on your router yourself.
Is this not a plan to create a derived work without permission of the copyright holder? Android apps are proprietary, not free software. How did Microsoft think it would get by with this legally?
Google would enjoy suing MS for a gazillion dollars! It could not happen to a nicer company.
Remember the current theory of the formation of the moon! The collision could eject a huge amount of H (in various forms), into space. This gives an opportunity for isotopic sorting, the lighter H having a greater chance of being blown away by the solar wind, the heavier having a greater chance of coming back.
I don't buy a router unless I can put openwrt on it. Too many router companies have been caught putting deliberate backdoors on their routers. Free software is the only way to prevent this.
So to get this old Jupiter sized planet ejected, you had to steal most of the orbital energy of 2 or 3 other Jupiter sized planets. Where are those planets now?
If google were a U.S. only, it could shoot the big finger at Japan because of the Speech act. But because Google has assets in Japan, it will have to comply.
Because of this case and others like it, eventually internationally based search engines will become untenable.
This so-called bug is only possible because users do not have access to the source code. From the user's perspective it does not matter if this was done because of pressure from NSA or convenience of maintenance techs!
This class of bug is unknown in the free software world because your project will forked.
All corporations are subject to enormous pressure from corporations, and therefore can not be trusted, even if the management wanted to play it straight.
All populations, including the U.S'es are targets of information warfare by the NSA and GCHQ.
"Like many of new languages, Rust is walking the path of simplification. I can generally understand why it doesn't have a decent inheritance and exceptions, but the fact itself that someone is making decisions for me regarding things like that makes me feel somewhat displeased. C++ doesn't restrict programmers regarding what they can or cannot use."
This is the definition of a bondage and discipline language. The idea is that the central committee designing the language knows better than the programmer. The central committee will prevent the programmer from making certain "mistakes" by leaving the concepts out of the language.
If only the central committee had control of natural language as well, they could prevent the programmer from committing thought crime by thinking forbidden thoughts.
As it is, the programmer will flee the bondage and discipline language as soon as he figures out what is going on.
But recent developments have made clear that securable hardware is sine qua non. All firmware must be in socketed memory, so that you can take it out and externally check it. You can't trust an untrusted system to check itself. All firmware must be protectable with a hardware readonly jumper or switch.
I know that this is inconvenient and a revolution on how hardware is currently made. but if people started demanding it en mass, it would not cost very much.
And I mean the firmware in disk drives and optical media players and especially routers.
There may be other requirements.
This is sine qua non. Without this we have nothing.
Once and for all: all proprietary router software must be assumed to be compromised. The NSA has been totally committed to ruthless information warfare against the population of the planet. There is no way a corporation can resist them. They consider themselves totally above the law.
Do not buy a router unless OPENWRT supports it.
Always overwrite what ever firmware came with the router with a new install of free software.
The days when Joe Sixpack can just buy a router an plug it in are over! You must do this.
Security experts need to take a close at uboot software commonly used to install alternate firmware. And check if NSA has
hacked that up as well.
I run a service on my Raspberry Pi that distributes hardware random numbers to my lan. For computers that don't have a hardware RNG. Just to see what the fuss was about I converted this Pi to systemd. It worked fine. The unit files were easier to read and write.
On my desktop I run debian testing. and I converted to systemd, with out knowing it, just by doing periodic updates.
Systemd is still free software. All the source is published, and it can be forked at any time. We need this functionality. It is a good thing that it has been redesigned to work smoothly together.
If the complainers really wanted to help, they could do a security audit instead of bellyaching!
If pottering becomes unbearable, the project can be forked. A lot of powerful forces need this project to work, so I suspect it will.
Its just a lot of whining and bellyaching from people who don't want to do anything.
In most males with low T is T being regulated down, can the equipment just not produce enough T. In other words is my house cold because the thermostat is set too low, or is the furnace too small?
The UFOs have space drives. Hundreds of witness, some with scientific credentials, have seen UFOs make extremely high G turns. With nothing being shoved out the ass end of the craft. Total silence.
Our physics if fucking wrong, and space drives are possible!
Instead of fucking with rockets, NASA needs to figure out what is wrong with our physics, and build the fucking space drive!

I think that in the long run international search engines can not last.
Does it have a jtag header so you can reflash in case you brick?

Mars lost its atmosphere because it did not have a magnetic field. I see no propsal to give Mars a magnetic field. This shit won't fly.
