The morality of Richard Dawkins
>> ^shinyblurry:
What, because it's a "compassionate" murder of infants, it isn't social darwinism? Of course it is. He is still saying that they should be selected to die because of their infirmities, regardless of what the stated motivation is.
Again, nuance, context. These things matter. If I kill someone out of mercy, it is different to killing them because they are "not fit to live". Yes, the outcome is the same, but intention matters. Even the legal system recognises this.
Besides in the context (there's that word again) of this video, he is talking about children that will die before they reach puberty anyway, so a true social darwinist would just let nature take it's course.

It's a good thing these two don't have Dawkins as their Father:

It's great that these kids were saved (by science, I might add). Do you really think that Dawkins is implying that they should be killed with no attempt to cure them? You're really grasping at straws here.
The morality of Richard Dawkins
What, because it's a "compassionate" murder of infants, it isn't social darwinism? Of course it is. He is still saying that they should be selected to die because of their infirmities, regardless of what the stated motivation is. It is making an arbitrary determination on the value of a life is, and when someone doesnt meet that criteria, that they are better off dead. And that we would be morally justified in murdering them even out of the womb.

>> ^ChaosEngine:
Ahh yes, there can be no nuance, no context to what anyone says. In this case, clearly Dawkins feels that murdering a child is absolutely fine, and it has nothing whatsoever to do with alleviating the suffering a horrible disease is causing it.
Oh, and as to your video description? Dawkins has stated on many occasions that he does not believe in social darwinism. Troll harder, little fool.
World's first manned flight with an electric multicopter
>> ^My_design:
This is crazy dangerous.
Those are all high speed brush-less motors with what looks like carbon fiber props, but could be glass fiber props with Lipo motors. Those props can and do break under stress. I wouldn't fly in that thing without some level of protection between me and those swinging blades. At that speed they could do some very serious damage. Given the close proximity from one to the other it one goes, looks like 2-3 more would go too. Ouch.
Then there's the lipo batteries. I'd hate to see a set of those things pop while you're in the air. Better have made sure he got them from a reliable source.
Hence the eia tag.
edit: I wouldn't worry, it was built by german engineers.
Woman's Voice Recorded 150 Years Ago (Before Edison)
Wow. She should have picked a less windy place to make the worlds first recording.
holy cow. (Fear Talk Post)
Socrates sez: "Let [her] that would move the world, first move [herself]."
WTF? Mind-blowing Condiment Picker Upper
It's not on a tablecloth, it's very obviously on the piece of glass shown at the beginning.
It's probably to design the condiment picture in place, then transfer it to the food easily.It's a robot designed to "align" condiments on food, which previously had to be done by hand.

With the properties of Pi this could be the worlds first non-terminating, non-repeating song...

World's first true HDR video using DSLRs
>> ^westy:
This is not a world first , UTTER BULLSHIT.
I know manny people have done this somethign i have contemplated doing over 2 years ago.
well the difference is that this is filmed in real time and not in some timelapse mode.
Though it's still not really HDR(the images doesn't differ enough), but rather just tone mapped which is normally mistaken for HDR.
And they really effed that one up too as they use way to much of it.

Worlds' first recorded double entendre!
>> ^Trancecoach:
that's not just "some guy." That's Alfred Hitchcock. The man who said that films should not be any longer than a bladder can hold: an hour and a half.
>> ^Raaagh:
Wow holy fuck. To think this is nearly 100 years old and I feel I can relate to this guy.
Thanks OP!!!
Hour and a half! He obviously couldn't have predicted theaters selling 64 oz cups of soda.
Worlds' first recorded double entendre!
