I just watched "New Zealand Skeletons in the Cupboard" on youtube. It suggests that people arrived on New Zealand before the officially recognized date, and that scientists are ignoring evidence pursuant to the facts. I'm a dumb American who doesn't know anything about New Zealand. Should I ignore this video?

Calling me names doesn't change the science.

Moderation is OK. That water has an LD50 of 6L and is necessary for human life is relevant, how? Lead has an LD50 of 450 mg/kg of body weight, but it is toxic at any amount.

From what I've read, yes.

Like most US laws, food products sold by corporations get lots of positive press. In the case of foods, the FDA recommendations are biased in favor of fast foods. For example, There are vocal meat eaters on this forum, but evidence mounts that meat and meat products are not the most healthful foods.

I hope those who heed this recommendation, leave good footprint. Too many times people rage and leave a scar.

Actually, autopilots are capable of flying an airplane from takeoff through landing. Pilots are great in emergencies, where autopilots are currently incapable of saving a plane.

The military controls predators with pilots sitting on the ground, and the plane half way around the world. And, NASA controls rovers on Mars and other solar bodies. Distance is not a big problem.

"With what minimum features of the AI would that be immoral?" AIs might be programmed with ethics or they may learn it by reading. If programmed, is the programmer or the company that programmer worked for culpable of wrong doing by the AI or is it the AI. In this case, I'd think the company would be responsible. But, I'm not a lawyer. Training includes two extremes, training on prepared data and training by reading the internet and personal interactions between robot and humans. Ill prepared training materials may make the person who prepared the lesson or their employer. If the robot reads the internet to learn ethics, then it would seem more difficult to blame a person. Although, I suppose a judge might rule the training to be inadequate and make a person responsible. Otherwise, either an AI or no one and no thing is responsible. It seems incorrect to blame the AI unless it is conscious, but currently there is no test for consciousness. Thus, it seems plausible that injury or death from and AI may be ruled as natural causes.

We will consider robot morality more than once. At this time when a person is injured or killed with an AI present or an AI responsible for the injury or killing the legal system will consider who or what is responsible and whether a crime occurred. These events are televised, at least locally, and some viewers will consider the moral and ethical issues. In addition there are people considering the ethical issues related to robotics as development occurs; in other words, it is occurring now. There are a number of youtube videos. At some point AI will be taught philosophy and religions, including ethics and morals; then we will be able to include an AI in conversation about morals and ethics at the pub while we have a beer.

Economics is being changed by automation and robotics, which will I believe take jobs and corporations will fail. Autopilots will take jobs away from drivers. Amazon Go, retail automation, will take jobs from people who work as shop keepers and tellers. Watson is being trained for many things, including medical diagnostics, so doctors jobs will be taken. And, the list of obsolete jobs will grow and grow over the next few decades. So, advanced AI and robotics will make economic concerns irrelevant when robots make and repair robots and everything else. The Earth has resources and space has resources. Robots can work in either environment equally well. Thus, making space habitats, space vehicles, a moon base or city on mars becomes a job for robots and economics is not an issue.

I have seen no evidence of God or any god. If I prayed for something that couldn't be, like fix a broken glass, and it was repaired, that would be evidence. However, none of my prayers have ever been acknowledged. Thus, I'm skeptical, and the world goes on with bad men killing babies. I don't pray for such things; does anyone. If that's the work of god, screw him.

You may have misunderstood, or perhaps your interpretation is correct. IDK I'm skeptical.

What proof? If you are not a simulation, you may be delusional.

If you are a simulation, the reason for the delusion might be accidental or intended by either developer or hacker.

Maybe your bugs are a delusion. How would you know?

Your sketch of an addict is IMO not nuanced; even addicts are human and complex. They know what they are doing is dangerous to their health and offensive to their loved ones, and often feel inept and worthless, which combined with withdrawal symptoms drives them to more drugs. the opioid epidemic in the US is IMO an indicator that our culture is failing. And, our criminal justice response, which is inappropriate, drags us down. If we put everyone who does an illegal drug in prison, more than half of the US would be jailed. On topic: Consciousness is not binary, IMO. Every living thing is conscious of its environment, and limited in its own way by its body and mind.

Nonsense.

How would we know?

English may have more words, but the Dutch may have the largest dictionary in the world.

Whether cats or mice, I'm pretty sure the CIA will induct some animal into their cadre of spies using implants; I'm sure they want a controllable critter cam. .

I should have checked. I understand there may be a free version of Windows soon.

PHP is a server side interpreted language, so you don't need a compiler. PHP can be embedded in HTML or HTML5. I think you need is documentation to code PHP. See: :https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHP You may be looking for this C++ https://sourceforge.net/projects/crossbridge/ C++ is available for Linux free. Each OS has a version, you can buy MS C++ along with Visual Studio. Similar for Mac. If you don't get what you need here, you may get more info on Stack Exchange.

Oh, OK. Amish. TY
