The sense of a moment or you being in your head is only an illusion. You think you see your surroundings outside of your fovea spot, you feel an orgasm in your abdomen, you hear music filling the room - nothing new for the brain. Ask your b

Maybe I don't understand the question. What else is "self-awareness" than a program calculating its own actions based on the knowledge of its own prediction ability? Can you disprove such program will be self-aware? Can you p

I for one fail to understand what is it so mysterious about consciences. Also, the article spends way more time lamenting the mystery than explaining what the so-called "hard problem of consciousness" is. Yes, we can not build con

Technical comment: the table in the article is not scrollable nor zoomable on my Galaxy s6, I can see only the leftmost digit of the CEO salary. Quite a bummer in 2019.

Also, stop advertising to kids. Experts in psychology and whatelse, with huge budgets, work tirelessly to make your kid intensely crave something it does not need.

Why don't all browsers simply visually emphasize the TLD and second level domain (or third level in a case like example.co.uk) in any given URL? Yes, sometimes it is not easy to recognize the real address in a scam URL like "dropb

Serious question: what is the point of such high pixel density? I assume you can not tell any difference between 2k and 4k from the distance a laptop is supposed to be used. Is it purely a marketing hype? Or am I missing something?

Never by loyal to a company. Company is not a person, it can never be loyal to you and it will alway protect the interest of the shareholder. Be loyal to your boss if he deserves it, but never to a legal entity.

The reason why democracy works is not that it generates the best decisions, it works because it makes the least amount of people unhappy.

Anecdotal evidence: I remember how my 65 years old dad changed from a large-minded, world-traveling retired professor to an avid consumer of fake news in the span of fewer than two years. Yes, it was a shock, but most of all I am mortified

I vaguely remember from Jobs' biography by Isacson that if you are not willing to cannibalize your own market share with a cheaper product someone else will do that for you. I am not 100% if it was Jobs who said that though.
