Simplicitas

That's right. Just what you said, that is right. :-)

"The 65.02 MHz 6502" would be a much better headline

Hmm ... I'm personally getting tired of this "well, it's currently legal" .. law changes start with moral indignation. We are at that junction now. Although accurate, let's park the legality lines.

"Fanatical certitude" isn't exactly the same as "science". Maybe change title to "Why fanatical certitude will never settle political disputes"?

What bugs me about these thesis is that they lead people to question science, as the best set of tools we have for reasoning, when used properly.

Love this analogy. It's so true.

"[humans] don't like complexity"

My thoughts EXACTLY... but anyway, great new utility indeed!

we keep forgetting we're just apes

What an awesome idea! :-)

You had me at "Deploy by running a single executable"

"annihilation signals" sounds very troubling

were doobies passed around in that class? j/k

This is awesome, but Stargate Defender II is really the real deal. Am I the only one that associates these games with the band Rush?

in case??

crytohacks comments above are a good place to start to understand Haiti's troubled history. Neither have faired so well as American neocolonies, not that foreign influence is the only factor. In "Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed", Jared Diamond contrasts the two countries ecological policies in recent decades, and that may have something to do with DR slight edge.

Ok, then that's enough for me to say: So far as we can reasonably tell right now, no, we do not live in a simulation.

Does the resulting simulation (this universe) show any hints that it is nearly impossible for the theoretical hosting universe to exist?

This is an awesome idea. Can't wait to hear the objections from the purists.

Still impressed at how quickly Fastly recovers. Kudos.

I wish all CVE were written this way :-)

A nothingburger that proves the nothingburger?

Totally agree.

I will own an Apple TV until they provide an adequate remote.

article admits we have a million years to think about this

... events that realistically are very unlikely to ever happen, since wars are becoming extinct .. yet we keep pouring money into crap like this

exactly .. this is the part I don't understand

Is this, Ok we don't care about DATA, but we'll still track your METADATA, which is what really counts?

Author admits 'probably not very efficient', but still a great SHORT article to consider something interesting. Thanks

Thanks for succinctly recapping the core issue here.

Another externality from all this is the growth of misinformation, which our species seems so unaware and defenseless against.

that would nice

I love this story!
