   I noticed this difference when I moved in Australia a couple of years ago. My first guess would be that hot plates are safer than fires from a wild fire point of view (which are quite a concern in Australia), and this is now engrained in th

   I agree that it is speculation, but the evolutionary advantage is pretty clear there: getting extra learning during fights increases your chances of survival in the next fight.

   I bought an Orange PI PC a few weeks back. It died after two days and the sellers are being extremely difficult at giving me a refund. I advise against buying from them.

   I am curious: doesn't this negatively affect your evaluation score with your university? How do you deal with this?

   > Also, even assuming relative inequality is what matters, why does it matter only within national boundaries? If this were true, couldn't we re-draw boundaries to fix the problem? I.e., we could make NYC into a Luxembourg-like rich

   I think there is such option in Python ABCs.

   I thought of Nim, too. To add to your comment, Nim's "Unified Call Syntax" recognises as the same len(x), x.len() and also x.len (this is similar to Ruby's poetry mode, if I am not mistaken). I find it cool, but I can al

    I am happy to see a link to the list itself is contained within the list. I can have a sound sleep.

    Your software-writing fingers are controlled by a neural network - a pretty complicated one, but it is still a physical process. I am sure an artificial neural network will be able to approximately do the same within a few decades. Not soon

    By arguing that AI does not need to sleep, you are already making assumptions about how such AI is structured. I do not agree with such assumption. Whether we talk about a structure more similar to us (i.e. neural networks) or whether we ta

    As far as I understand, you do not need to completely start from scratch to get out of local optima: one individual is enough (at least in asexual reproduction) to drive a population shift. That is how bacteria develop immunities. I think t
