What is the likelihood of this study being true? Will it be cited a lot now?

Your face is not really a secret, hardly very secure, I'd say.

I think as computers fail to get faster, we won't be able to improve performance without making application specific logical units, however, we may still be able to make it general purpose.

Isolation by itself can come in many different forms, I'd say. I don't think that all of these metal diagnoses due to isolation really apply to everyone or every situation very well. It's important to consider that some peopl

Diversify your speculation, I think that's the best advice, and make sure you stay grounded, ie. have a base which won't really move much relative to potential hyper-inflation.

I think that's an absolutely terrible idea.

It's really more about signal-to-noise ratio I'd say, if there are often loud noises then your brain will have to attend to them, if there is constantly a fan noise, for example, then your brain will actually focus since there is

If you have to study for the interview, they're not selecting their candidates for intelligence, really, but either intelligence or studiousness.

Maybe I'll take a shot at a very simple backend, I've not been able to find a kanban which is simple enough for me.

Another in addition to these excellent suggestions would be scapular pullups and scapular pushups.

It seems to me the investment community has accepted bitcoin at this point, with major institutional investors finally buying in now--1 billion from microstrategy, for example--so expect to see it go up more. I think it will keep going up u

Definitely--lots of old assets are used for testing, I've seen them personally. It's standard practice to keep around old models, scenes, textures, etc.

They render them at a very high resolution, so perhaps the person I heard the rumors from was talking about reducing the resolution to something less than 10k by 10k (or more sometimes, I've been out of the film industry for 8 years).

I've heard rumors that Pixar used to be able to render their movies in real-time :)

I should have said gut--I've been calling my gut my stomach for too long and have had difficulty stopping that habit. However, I don't think we really know where satiety comes from yet, that's why we have all of this research

I think it's related to the fermentation going on in your stomach. I'm not sure if it's the best way to become satiated. I personally find saturated fats to be much more satiating, I can go without food for a full day without

I'm a jazz musician--it's interesting stuff, there is a whole area of research dedicated to this type of work. Jazz chord progressions are pretty simple ultimately when expressed in compressed form, but tend to have actual semanti

Nintendo is a pretty interesting company, the stories I have heard are completely the opposite of the colorful friendly reality they paint on the outside. Maybe it's because of how ruthless they are that they are able to do it--I would

We need to allow multiple app stores with DRM per store, it's the only solution to avoid a monopolistic store that I see. It won't happen except through the legal system, I think.

I have no clue, I'm not an expert. I just don't see any discussion on this topic and it concerns me. Historically, I don't see any vaccine which was effective against such a virulent virus, unless it had a much higher rate of

My loose clothes become my pajamas eventually. If I gain weight, the tightness serves as a reminder for me to lose it again!

I hate to be that person, but I'm personally more worried about the virus mutating under the increased selection pressure. We only defeated polio with a >99% effective vaccine, and the research for this vaccine isn't even avail

I'm a bit of both, so I guess I take the radical approach--straight from mathematics to C++/ASM/FPGA/ASIC. Ultimately programming languages are just an alternate notative system for mathematics--formal language theory ac

It gives you a new perspective, but for some it can be traumatizing. I think it's a much better treatment than any drug out there, though, so maybe it has a potential to be integrated into our culture. Environment seems to be the bigge

There's a certain mathematical elegance to APL, I think. When the language is terse enough it helps you visualize and work with the language as a tool of thought--Matlab attempts to map actual mathematics to ASCII which is not that suc

While privacy is definitely my main concern here, it's not just privacy that's the issue here--I believe people should be compensated for the work that they offer society and if Google is using a captcha to create driverless cars

It's possible that the technical discussion about online signature checking was subsumed by the political discussion--the two are interrelated and if we don't get into these discussions here I don't really see another place f
