What you linked says "On the other hand, kin selection is accepted as an explanation of altruistic behavior.[11]" So, an extended family with a few homosexual kin might have greater reproductive success with their offspring having

Traits aren't evenly distributed throughout the population. Natural selection doesn't operate on the individual level, but at the _population_ level. In other words, there is no "wash"-- genes aren't all shaken up u

Can you post a picture? I did a google image search, but didn't find any pouting chimps. They do purse their lips, but that's a different set of muscles.

I posted this on reddit last night: Any time there's a special feature on a bone, usually a muscle attaches to it. I googled, and found out that the mentalis muscle attaches to the chin. Interestingly, wikipedia says "In conjuncti

Can you describe this sponsored/organic content dichotomy? To get noticed, you have to have upvotes. If you have upvotes, that means that users appreciated the content. If, say, a company or person is promoting themselves and the commu

I don't think he believes it, really. Not to the extent that he spouts; there are though charges of racism stemming from his time as primarily a landlord in the 80s and 90s. What I think rather is that this is just another reality show

Just your regular self-aware engineer. There is nothing hypocritical about acknowledging one's self is spoiled.

Isn't it rather the money they have access to, from their parents, that allows them to invest, rather than spend all of their money on subsistence? Hearing how dad weathered a hostile merger, or a neat tax shelter, doesn't mean mu

Well couldn't we further push that blame to MS' cockamamie versioning? I originally wrote "versioning convention" but realized I had to drop convention.

I wonder if that's why we have the term "battlefield" today.

I don't understand why they don't include a gallery on the website :/

You could copy and paste it into a word editor. I just did that with MS Word and it highlighted several misspellings for me. Also in FF, a textarea box will show misspellings. Or do you not have English dictionaries installed on your PC? (I

Well then OP's point is even more sharp: it's all about connection and politics, not payout.

The problem with these analyses is that nobody invests in "the market". What I have wanted to see for a while is returns on an average investment. I've seen charts, for example, showing the Dow Jones from the 1929 crash to th

Not OP, but 1. Isn't this a moving target? In the beginning, all you had to do was throw up text; standards evolved (and probably continue to, I don't follow it), and now you have to cite references, adhere to standards, etc. As m

As a layperson, there just seems to be a general discomfort with qm because it's not 'intuitive' or isn't close enough to our subjective experience of everyday reality. As someone who is bad at math and physics, the comp

I think what is meant is that you can't have a subjective experience of two different consciousnesses at the same time. In other words, one of the properties of the subjective experience of consciousness is that of a unified whole. In

It's a humorous quote from the Simpsons.

No, I'm obviously not in an objective sense, but my _subjective experience_ is that I am. That subjective experience is what we're interested in studying. That's what people are referring to when they say they are conscious.

I think other animals, such as certain birds (crows, parrots), might be conscious, maybe octopuses, but that's just my pet theory. To be sure, we'd need a definition of what consciousness is exactly (more than "I'm prett
