It is not about how big the brain is. It is about the number of neurons, latency, signal reliability and number of connections. Voltage-gated ion channels are non-deterministic. Meaning they don't always open (or not open) when they sh

Personally, the hardest part for me was keeping track of the size of everything. Coming from a higher level language, keeping track of the bits and bytes takes some getting used to. Working with arrays in C is much tougher especially when t

We'll never really know. I would love to watch that movie though. Also I didn't mean to use "nobody" as an insult. There's nothing wrong with being a nobody. The majority of people who lived were nobody but without

I don't think this is true. It's narrative nice people tell themselves to find reason in a world that has none. Yea, they suffer sometimes from poor planning and bad luck, but more often than not, they'll get away with it. An

It's not about American or European. Assuming these jerks are of higher rank, few people have the balls to stand up to their boss short of quitting. If they're lower or equal rank, then we don't have much to talk about unless

Why can't you be nice but firm at the same time? I know people who tries to be stubborn to cover up their lack of knowledge. Usually, those people are smarter than the majority but not quite smart enough to realize that they're no

The part on being enforced by a central government, yes. But my last line still applies to all money. That's why when someone mentions the phrase "intrinsic value", they are not seeing the core truth of money. It's inter

Money is a piece of token that represents favor or debt the world owns to you, or at least, anyone who takes money as payment. This whole premise is enforced by central governments in modern times. When we buy or sell goods, give away our t

FileVault is completely transparent for me here. I can hardly notice any performance hit. Now, if only Apple can fix the incessant graphics freezing...

What exactly does seizing a laptop even do anymore with the ubiquity of cloud storage? Simply make an encrypted backup and wipe everything before traveling through airports and borders.

I'm job-hunting currently and most companies demand you know Objective-C with Swift as the icing. Many don't even care about Swift at all. Many frameworks are written in Objective-C and have not been ported over. I think you'

Get your hormones level tested first, specifically testosterone. I'm not sure what you're shooting for but self-help books don't really work. It's like teaching a blind man to see. Being social is much more about what -n

I think depression may stem from the feeling of helplessness. Being forced to perform meaningless tasks (because that's high school), having absolutely no power and control over your own life, and probably vitamin D deficient too from

Some people may find this surprising, but you shouldn't. It's simply how the world works. It's repugnant but life is not fair. Racial discrimination is only the tip of the iceberg. There's also legacy admission and athl

My point is, the allegory is a farce that trivialize reality. The simple life is not simple. No life is ever simple. The allegory masquerades as false wisdom. I know quite a few guys that went back to their home country and attempted to liv

You can't support a family catching 2-5 fishes a day. This is not prehistory. You need to catch extra to sell so you can afford to take your kid to the doctor and buy them medicine when they get sick. You need to buy clothes unless you

If you've ever fished for a living, the argument seems ludicrous. Fishing can be treacherous work. You might get rich with a big haul or die when the whether turns bad. There are many factors, enviromental pollution, ecosystem changing

It boils my blood every time that I come across an interesting topic on SO just to see it locked. Something is wrong with the site when you see more topics locked than open.

There's really no hard rule. It's based on the feeling of whoever is reviewing your account transactions. Even if you deposit $2-3k every month, your account could still be under suspicion.

You'll be surprised at all the people making "large" cash deposit, seemingly oblivious to the law. FinCEN is already bombarded with tons of information. In the process, some criminals slide under the radar and innocent people

Basically, once your asset has been frozen, the game is nearly over. Even without any charge being pressed, it takes years to get back the seized asset/property, if it's given back at all, that is. If you were charge with a crime

This has been the case for a long time. The IRS works on a guilty-until-proven-innocent basis. Take the case of collectible gain tax, if you do not have evidence to prove the value of the item on the date it was acquired, then the IRS calcu

I think the buy-sell spread would definitely be a problem, unless the company has money in bitcoin already and you don't plan on selling it immediately. It's just not viable until bitcoin usage is more widespread and selling btc f

Just in my experience, it's quite easy to get an app published on the app store. I actually wish Apple's reviews were more stringent. As it is, many low quality apps still make it to the app store.
