Title is a bit misleading. It's a provincial bill. It's like state law vs. federal law.
How do you know this when the study was cancelled a year early (by a Conservative gov't, no less)
In a few hundred years nobody will remember you either: x220 the family man, who lived a complete life and raised wonderful children who went on to live very comfortable lives and have children of their own. "I" am the…
Everyone is for due process until a serial killer gets their family. Everyone is for human rights until they see brigands and warlords torturing, raping, and pillaging across the countryside. The world is cruel.…
I would expect such a strong assertion to come with well laid out and persuasive reasoning. Maybe spoil me with relevant data (even second hand). Instead, you reject both premise and conclusion by some extremely weak…
I disagree from a practical standpoint. Personal infamy is essentially free advertisement, up to a certain limit. As long as Elon isn't perceived as running the company into the ground. He spends a few seconds tweeting…
In Accelerando, there was a similar plot device. The anisotropies in the CMB (or maybe just minor aberrations) were caused by waste heat from Type IV/V civilizations running gigantic computations (trying to probe/find…
Because a chess engine isn't scanning 400 possibilities, and a Go engine isn't scanning 130k (where'd you even get that number?) possible game states. For example, a brute force search of a 19x19 Go board to a depth of…
For a more solid experiment, there's the BBC prison study: http://www.bbcprisonstudy.org Different conclusions, just as fascinating.
Well said. I think it's instinctual to want to believe there is some intrinsic, insurmountable difference between us and them (people who do morally repugnant things). At the heart of it, it's tribalism. This quote from…
> Turn off just 1 gene for a disease, and 1). it won’t do anything because you didn’t turn off the other 199, and 2). oh wow that gene was actually used for something else and now you’ve lost the ability to form…
> Even more interesting... 1+2+3+4... = -1/12 What.. No. This sum diverges. It does not equal -1/12. Now if you plug -1 into the Riemann zeta function, you get -1/12. One could interpret that to mean the sum 1 + 2 + 3 +…
