Nokia's problem was their UI, which was not controlled by Symbian, not the underlying OS. Hundreds of Symbian-OS based phones were on the market from 2001, including in the Japanese market which had the most testing.…
This paper is a good example of why mathematicians often ignore philosophy of maths. "When a community of mathematicians is small then our modern standards of truth aren't necessary" Proof is needed to provide…

"and seemed almost designed for riggable elections" And yet all parties have passed up this oh-so-easy opportunity to rig an election, even Trump. Do you think they are not easily riggable, in fact, and you're just…
@eigenheart The corollary of your delusion is that you also believe in the demi-god, HERACLES: The criteria with which you dismiss the historical HERACLES is also applicable to any other historical figure of antiquity.…
"as is His Divinity, but that is beyond the scope of this response" Surprise, surprise. There may well have been a person, Jesus Christ. We don't know for sure. What we do know is that Gods, Demi-gods and dragons aren't…
But in today's issue of the NR there's an article claiming the fairy tale of the incarnation could be true. No working shown. Just a crazy belief in primitive superstitions apparently.
Fair enough. Out of interest, does the National Review think Jesus' Daddy created the universe?
Yeah, but there's plenty of physicists who don't understand physics among proponents of string theory, multiverses and fine-tuning. The point is who would you trust for basic news among NYT, Fox News, the Post, the BBC,…
There are 3 generally possible responses to the article. 1) You agree that the NYT is imposing some sort of a liberal filter on the Mormon leader's actions. 2) You think the NYT's position is reasonable. 3) Or, you…
But if you and your wife belong to a church then you are delusional and have been duped. How can you accuse the NYT of having a political lens which distorts the "truth" when by the standards of empirical science you…
"Who among us couldn't guess what the NYT's take is going to be in a mormon leader's obituary before they write it?" A "religious leader" is a criminal fraudster who tells lies for money. It sounds like the Mormon guy…
"Let's say a rock is conscious," No, let's not.
Empirically verified physics, not philosophy, does not allow any properties of matter to be appealed to when trying to explain consciousness in the human brain other than those described in the Standard Model. You can…
It's simply saying that "consciousness" is related to the brain, but doesn't explain the subjective feeling of consciousness. The stuff about the single cell organism's supposed consciousness is just a lame analogy.…
"Except you were not replying to the nautilus article, you were replying to the one i posted by Grosz" Good point - there are so many cranks around I lose track. I had a look at the Grosz article. I have never seen such…
Excellent! Thanks! Do you have any links for those curious about witchcraft and voodoo?
