>> the concept of "human dignity", which, however useful or beautiful, has no roots in Catholic tradition: it's a purely secular idea. > I'm not a philosopher or theologian, but this just seems wrong to me Agree

"Mystery" is a theological concept that is translated from the Greek word "mustérion." [1] Mysterious, mystical, secret, divine, not fully revealed. This sort of ineffable, irreducible truth you can touch but cannot full

I would love a legal policy that requires developers to allow users to opt out of algorithm-generated feeds. A "right to control consumption" or something that like.

The issue is not cold, but whether you can get a highly competitive position at the South Pole Station. In order to see the sun set, you have to be part of the skeleton crew which maintains the station during the winter-over. There are no f

> From another angle, I would argue that the eyes and face are part of what makes a human, as are the hands. I also agree with this take, though in the moment at the lab I didn't interject with a critique of mind-body dualism. Eithe

Speaking from first-hand, I can't remember any disrespectful behavior. Acting disrespectful toward the donor (what we called the cadavers) would get you kicked out of anatomy lab. There is even a "gift of body" ceremony comme

Try a run that is much longer (eg, 3 hours), then see how your 1.5 hour run feels. Usually you need a larger-than-normal stimulus to elicit adaptation. In my experience, the mind adapts to these things and will essentially learn to shut off

I've gained an appreciation for walking through very roundabout means. For the longest time I found walking even short distances insufferably slow and boring. I ride my bike--a lot. The distances and durations I cover have grown each y

HN discourages the sort of clever-yet-unsubstantial one-liner jokes that earn a lot of karma on Reddit. It reserves the space for thoughtful discussions. Getting rid of the memes simply doesn't fly in other online communities. I'd

There are a lot of different philosophical positions with regard to the mind-body problem, but very few attempts at a testable scientific theory about how consciousness works. Integrated Information Theory (IIT) is such an attempt. Nature O

How would having a octagon gate be worse than a round gate for wavedashing? For shield drops you take it a step further and notch the gate. Octagon gate also provides good reference point for MSDI.

The Pro Controller is a fine controller and sees a decent amount of competitive use in the Smash scene. The octagon gate on the GC controller is advantagous for Smash and other games that benefit from precise directional inputs... It's

by kendallpark 6y ago
Yup. It is the best controller for Smash (which is why Nintendo keeps re-issuing it). Ultimate and Melee scenes are still alive and well. And even the 64 scene will cannibalize the analog sticks from GC controllers to replace the N64 contro

100% agree. The 3rd party imitation controllers are not just not there yet. Best bet for now is to mod the GC controller with a Bluetooth adapter. Bluetooth adapter mod kit: https://hackaday.io/project/165060-bluecubemo
