Ouija boards with statistical machinery :)

I 90% agree with you, except that there is nothing technically correct about the word cis.

Causality (2000) made the topic accessible (to students and lecturers) as a single book.

I tried separating the sentences but an editor reverted my change.

Well, my take is not equivalent to OP, in that I actually don't agree :) I am a human-centered empiricist.

I think OP's logic flows the other way: skeptical of human-centeredness position (like you) and from that skeptical of going purely empirical (not like you/me).

I'd say LIGO described phenomena as gravitational waves through the interaction of the experiment. They didn't detect anything because that would go beyond empiricism into assuming the existence of a thing beyond the interaction

That was my reply to you, not the original point. If it helps:

I think the GP implied with the statement that we should subscribe to some non-empirical theories ("outside spacetime"), because the endeavour is not supposed to be human-centered.

1. You said that the observations are not human-centered since we need to make machines, so the GP does not need to be suspicious and should stick to empiricism.

2. Both you and the GP seem to assume that the endeavour is not supposed to be human-centered

3. I say it is human-centered because we make the machines for us as observers at the center, so your argument doesn't quite work

4. I think our science is entangled with us as observers on many levels, and it should be. So the GP's statement should actually be pushed through suspicion towards neccessity.

In that humans built LIGO to bring forth phenomena for them. There is no science without an observer. The universe might exist without us, but without an observer there is no-one to describe it.

And neccessary.

Sounds like premature optimization with security implications. I'm hesitant to use that.

If anything, it's an issue with a magnet's naming. My understanding is that the North pole/direction got its name first.

Sunflowers and Indian mustard do bioaccumulate lead (especially with a chelating agent).

If he breaks the server, then a callback/webhook notification for the fix won't work either.

If you want to use a callback for this I'd recommend still polling periodically anyway.

If this happened to a smaller company they would be dead.

Edit: where can I get good Mercurial hosting? F this.

Requiring to have seen it all is a big problem if you identify as a critic, in all senses of the words. It's easy to be pulled in by irrelevant novelty that is not meaningful to viewers, or become disenchanted and find your critical sensibilities turn against what viewers find meaningful. There's an ideological and philosophical component here that is at the rift between critics and viewers.
