That study looks like it might do a good job of controlling for the relevant factors, although the thing that seems to be the most difficult to control for is credit. It makes some references to credit history, but the most rigorous study I

A lot of people don't know this, but `BigInt`s are supported in modern JavaScript; integers of arbitrarily large precision. Try in your browser console: 2n ** 4096n // output (might have to scroll right) 104438

How is describing our brains as "consciousness computers" inaccurate? Our brains have so many analogous components to computers. Both have working memory, long term memory, both have processors proficient in either linear or paral

The microscope was a tool for observing a new layer of objective, real, reproducible phenomenon within a previously inaccessible layer of our universe. Now, considering the conversation we're having, feel free to take "objective a
