very true. It’s perfectly possible to be both extremely intelligent and extremely evil

I’m curious will this new knowledge will lead to new discoveries which might not have been possible due to working with the incorrect lengths in calculations?

There is no law preventing civilians from owning cannons and other artillery of any caliber so long as they are not automatic.

The idea that we can actually delete anything from a non physical system the hyper visor of which we do not control is absolute nonsense. Unless you have control over the physical system and the hypervisor all you can do is destroy your ability to access the information. We can never have confidence of how it truly works back end.

If pi is truly infinite wouldn’t it eventually express a sequence of information which would be self aware if expressed in binary in a programmatic system?

No what I’m saying has nothing to do with Android vs iPhone vs blackberry or any other phone. I can get a link on Skype or signal or anything. I don’t need clickable links in my SMS messages on any phone. Thanks

The idea of a UPS catching the server room or worse yet your house on fire is absolutely terrifying.

Are you implying that just because a question is raised, one must be “following” some teaching or sect?

I suppose the logical question is what defines justification for any tax on anything; if this can be defined perhaps we can establish reasoning for what items should be taxed and not be taxed.

So it would seem you are suggesting we have no free will/agency? If so you cannot take credit for any achievement you accomplish or lay blame on anyone for anything no matter the deed because we would be nothing but products of our environments

Are you implying that we have no free will and that we lack the agency required for responsibility of our action? Dangerous doctrine there if so; it would imply that all criminals no matter how heinous the crime are victims of the system and thus cannot be punished without said punishment being just an emotional expression of vengeance. It would also mean that you could never take credit for anything you have done because it is just a reaction to your environment. These are only a few implications of a lack of free will/agency

The problem is text messages are being abused for purposes they were never intended. I don’t need people sending me links in text messages. If I wanted that I would use some internet messenger

Whoever agrees with the philosophical idea of “Sin taxes” deserves whatever fascist world they end up creating. The idea that I owe someone because I decide to indulge in something unhealthy for me implies that other people own me.

Wouldn’t the probability that the next time it would be aliens increase every time it turns out to not be aliens

Most non physical things you are capable of buying have absolutely no value except what gullible people in large numbers ascribe to them. What you really want to invest in are stars, planets and magical items.

Imagine what scientists would think if particle accelerators started receiving small but measurable patternistic statistical deviations in their data they get while the experiments are running only to discover they are evesdropping on some advanced form of interstellar or intergalactic instant quantum communications, only to realize it’s a bunch of alien gamers of different planets talking shit to eachother

I’m genuinely curious. I would agree it’s possible that either could be true but how exactly would you even begin to speculate let alone calculate the supposed probability of either possibility?

In a heavy fireproof box along with the birth certificate, and other important papers. If you want extra protection put that box in a larger safe. This really isn’t a difficult question to answer. If you are trusting a third party to store your things, when something happens to their service or they terminate your account randomly you have only yourself to blame.

Does this imply file metadata content can effect the access performance of those files even for operations that do not directly concern the metadata?
