>Ferrier sat his Leaving Certificate exams last month at Schull Community College and is due to attend university in the Netherlands.

pretty normal to graduate high school and attend university

> works as a curator at the Schull Planetarium

I don't know what responsibility this holds how he got the job so it's hard to say.

>has won 12 science fair awards

I don't know the award scheme so hard to say. Even if he won 1st place 12 times, a science fair is hardly difficult to win since you are basically competing against semi-motivated highschoolers.

>speaks three languages fluently

This depends on the language. Some people get 2 languages for free from home and learn another to fluent level in high school. Not really a mind-blowing accomplishment.

>plays the trumpet at orchestra level,

This is really the only one that required consistent effort.

>had a minor planet named after him by the MIT Lincoln Laboratory."

meh

Out of all these, the only thing I wish I had is the ability to play the trumpet.

as opposed to countries where only government approved idiots and their dogs have assault weapons?

> When I flew

For somebody who cares about 'sustainable hunting and fishing', you sure do like to pollute the environment just for the pleasure of getting to fish.

Why then, should others make the sacrifice to their lifestyle for the purpose of sustaining the environment when you are not willing to?

It is sufficient for the case of china.

But then things are more expensive.

For those who cannot afford, expensive things might as well not exist.

So although more precise, it deflects from the fact that the important aspect is economics.

Maybe you should add it to the wiki discussion page?

The illuminated globe example is much better than the one in the OP imo. The one in the OP isn't much different from parking a van outside the target office.

To be a developed country you simply need 2 things. Average IQ >= 100, and a free market.

Every country that has these (north america, non-communist europe, japan, south korea, singapore, taiwan, hongkong, israel) is a developed country.

Every country that has not, is not.

Having oil helps a little, also.

Communism.

Any society with majority chinese population (singapore, taiwan, hong kong) that has a free market is a modern developed country. China stuck behind for 50 years, and is now catching up.

The "do it for my 5 minutes of fame" narrative is mostly wrong. It is meant to denigrade the shooters.

If you read tarrant's manifesto, for example, his motivation is entirely racial/political. He thinks white people is being destroyed, and he lashes out against his enemies.

If people's grievances, real or not, are not addressed. They will lash out. Calling them racist, stupid, xenophobes, losers, mentally ill or whatever else will not stop the tide of blood.

For you.

Some people just want to sit for 8 hours, go home, and watch football.

Shooting and killing a guy with a TV remote in hand because it looked like a gun and he 'felt threatened'.

completely false.

Women prefer men with a full head of hair. And sexual selection maybe 'socially constructed' but it is as real as you can get.

they poop all over your wall though

So selling things people want = aggression now?

Why is everything viewed in term of us vs them?

What is the injustice here?

So if i switch to tofu and beef, i won't get fat?

>we ate what the big cats left behind.

humans can hunt

>price goes up

People can't afford housing because Chinese are buying up all the houses.

>price goes down

People lose life savings because Chinese are not buying up all the houses.

My thought exactly, especially since they didn't cancel it.

People can't think clearly now. They are clouded always with bias and the limitation of the neurobiology.

Powerful tools can be used for both good and bad.

>problem is making a brain-computer interface so that we can have a fighting chance when AI takes off.

our fighting chance is EMP.

> So even if they couldn't recognize the bots as such, they would see them as tough players and avoid them.

The problem would be if i was a pro i would rather run 1000 bots than play myself. Which means the only players left are AI and fish. Once the fishies learn of this fact, they will abandon in drove.

It's all gonna go back to live poker soon.

Well, the Osulans are not going to let themselves be seen by multiple Terran sensors. That would completely violate the galactic accord.

Besides, if they were seen they would just blow up aircraft anyway.

Companies are not interested in not endangering their users. They only care about making money. So you have the make endangering their users negative on their bottom-line.

This is a perfectly workable system, that does not require any party to not be selfish. It's a much better system that those that require somebody to be 'good' rather than 'rational'

for any amount of food, it's better to have an adult rather than an elder, for any particular gene.

So a truly optimal age system would have no old age at all, you will just die off after your children are self-sustaining.

>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean_disposal_of_radioactive_...

A truly massive amount of radioactive material has been dumped into the ocean. No amount of 'cobalt bomb' or other fantasy devices will appreciably affect the truly large (geological scale) ocean. Even if you dump every nuclear reactor, nuclear waste, nuclear fuel and blow up every nuke in the ocean, that will simply not seriously affect the ocean.

Damn. 6000m? A nuclear sub at that depth would be unreachable by surface/aerial ASW systems and can provide definite nuclear deterrence.

A lot of stuff in biology is "stick it in sees if it works" kind of stuff anyway.

Who knows what will happen in 20 years.

This is a common misconception about why casinos win. That 'casinos have infinite bankroll so they cannot lose' isn't actually an argument because casinos have limited bankroll.

If they would allow me to play a +EV game I can crush them even if they had infinite bankroll by varying my betsize. The 'random walk' argument only works for fixed bet size.
