this is all extremely speculative, of course! but i would say that anything that affects your thinking can pose an evolutionary advantage or disadvantage. (to also answer a peer comment here:) including when you are past your reproductive a

isn't that just saying the same thing, but in different words? :) better reproduction is the ultimate evolutionary advantage. edit - ok, not "the ultimate", but i guess you know what i mean.. ;) edit again - i'm a little

nobody seems interested in looking at the thing from the other perspective - why was it an evolutionary advantage for older people to develop this uncertainty-blindness? i would guess that perhaps with age the importance of making a decisio

the repeated usage of the phrase "my net worth" stings. i presume it's just a turn of phrase and does not really mean much, but it's ugly. you're worth more than any dollar amount! ;)

i can't speak for the author, but my first thought was the speed. Delphi was almost as easy to develop as Visual Basic, but the result was fast. a native EXE, no big framework-dependencies.

so, the DAO contract is the only authority, and everything is on the blockchain, except when the collective decides it's not? you say "nothing changes", but something obviously would - "the attacker" would lose thei

i can understand where you're coming from. i've felt exactly the same about Martin Shkreli. people just went crazy about him, and few asked how to change the system to not allow it. but still, even if the system is wrong, so is Sh

perhaps this is off-topic, but what personally bugs me most, as a gay man, is that Mr Thiel can hold such a huge grudge for so long about being outed. is it so humiliating for you that other people know you're gay, Mr Thiel? i must add

if Mr Thiel wants to raise journalistic integrity standards when it comes to outing people, then the right things to do would be something like opening a public discussion, advocating some change in the law, etc. or perhaps, if he must use

Hangouts was horrible to me for just one reason - on the smartphone, it hid info on who is online right now.. perhaps this was designed to motivate us to send more messages, but it meant i could no longer easily know if someone might answer

i don't know if i maybe missed something, but it does not seem like the inequality argument has been contested by anything in the text. in fact, the author states that in Japan, like elsewhere, despite a struggling economy, the rich ar

the past-querying sounds a lot like reactive programming, doesn't it? you lay out an expression (and you would be typically using set/aggregate operations there as well) and the expression kinda just sits there quietly, accumulate

what bugs me is the possibility that one disaster, however unlikely, when it happens may render a wider area uninhabitable for a longer period of time. is this not the case? and then, perhaps a bigger issue, waste management. just look at G

some time ago, the definition of "trickle down" on wikipedia used to contain, in the first sentence, the statement that the goal is to achieve wealth distribution. the contradiction was too glaring, i presume ;) because, if so, th

an example of the power of phrasing in journalism, perhaps? the title could have also been: "Reckless media sites serve malware to visitors".

a bit unnerving. why wouldn't some ad-tracking mechanism that's part of some apps simply collect everything it can and radio it back home? btw, can this be considered a huge security plus for web apps? they can break out, but at l

thank you for the clarification! one issue still remains - a developer writing that software knows that it will end up in cars which will be sold. even if they will not sell them themselves, they are certainly in the know about the illegal

your idea actually sounds more like the military ;) since, according to that vision, individual people nor their personal responsibility do not even exist there. can a person really just knowingly take part in any illegal activity, and as l

i think it is, but to some very limited extent. it is not desirable for soldiers to question commands too much. even the most human rights obeying, peace loving government typically does not want its soldiers to think too much. (i think tha
