Why wouldn't they? Humans can recognize black and white images on a 1960s-era videophone prototype as another human they are interacting with in real-time, and it's not like parrots have any significant difficulty recognizing othe

Conversely, PMOS logic has the exact opposite problem - NAND gates are parallel, while NOR gate are series. Meanwhile, CMOS logic inherits both of these problems (in return for better performance in general), but due to semiconductor chemis

Are you sure they were talking about UUID collisions in a idealized/theoretical system? If you generate UUIDs using, for example, a random number generator with only a 16-bit seed, you absolutely will see collisions, for much the sam
