So it's just the same things expressed differently, just like different body language.

What do you mean "on request"? Because if someone asked me to fake a smile I would not even try to look sincere either. Deficient practice in imitation can be considered when a person actually wants to look like he's smiling

Hi, I'm from Lithuania, where people are smiling (or not smiling) in the exact same way as described in the article. I can assure you that teeth has absolutely nothing to do with this. Same goes for your missing muscle theory, absolute

> A Russian friend of mine explained that it's sort of inappropriate to go around smiling, esp for males. This is very true. If a male is smiling, it means he is showing his submission and in turn is subconsciously treated by other

Your example with african college and skinheads do not show a sense of community, it just shows widespread racism among russians. Because if a group skinheads attacked black or gay the whole subway would still help skinheads to beat that si

Would anyone use peer-to-peer email service, that could send/receive to/from any other email provider and could be accessed also via web page, if there would be one?

I am changing from gmail mainly because of privacy considerations. Other people arguments also include g+ profile enforcement and negative UI changes, which I both agree with, but it were not the reasons I am changing. Also many are general

Really strange. Here in Lithuania we had similar systems in some places several years ago, but everyone quickly changed to always require PIN. Even in restaurants they come with wireless card reader and you don't even let your card out

I have a question - why is the guy in the video giving the card to waiter? What he is gonna do with it, he doesn't know the PIN number to charge it. Or in USA you can charge without PIN? Besides if he can just charge without PIN he als

I'm looking forward to changing from gmail to a more secure mail service, maybe you could recommend something that's not US based and, at least as of currently known, secure and possibly encrypted, similar to how lavabit was?

I think that despite all mistakes that are in the article all agree that extreme OOP and extreme FP are almost equally bad and the balance between those gives the best results.

Yes, I should have said "more saturated", because first electronic devices were around for longer and second physical devices have more limitations than software, thus more difficult to make something new and useful.

It really seems so. Wish my country had a party like that.

I certainly agree that Nintendo have not done anything similar to this. But what if Nintendo would make a browser-based Mario game with the same functionality? Would it be fair that they , the original authors, would have to compete with hi

It isn't even proven that the difference is genetic. There should be a study where they take Jewish kids that are raised in non-jewish families and look for the difference, then they should take non-jewish kids who were raised in a jew

I found my mistake. When looking at Europe for some reason I mentally subtracted first the Scandinavia and then Russia, that's why it seemed so tiny. Looking at wiki I can see Africa is only 3 times larger than Europe, which is what I

Are the scale of continents right? Because Australia looks almost bigger than Europe, and Africa looks many times bigger than Europe.

Could be, but would they really dare to mock themselves in the honeypot? If it is a honeypot, it's very convincing and elaborate.

I think the "genius" is kind of a byproduct of transition from faith-centered worldview to knowledge-centered worldview. At the time of mentioned geniuses people were just starting to tend away from the faith in god, so the faith

I think the western male tech-centric demographic partly boils down to the fact that you just need to spend much time at the computer, spend much energy for writing and editing and have to be passionate about it and the topic you write abou

The video editor tries to appeal to those people who would think that robotics takes away jobs and that robots might "uprise" against humans, while the content will mostly be interesting to robotics enthusiasts. Seems like the jou

If you want users to click on ads you basically need to fool the users into clicking or show actually relevant add. Because actually relevant adds are almost non-existant, fooling becomes the main strategy. And the best strategy is to make
