    If there is a cognitive universal, I wonder if it is absolute. Does it describe the nature of cognition itself or does it only describe cognition we do it here on earth. IOW: will …

    If there were a checklist of guidelines about comments and you had to physically check each one to post a comment, it would A) reduce trivial posts by making them more work to post…

    Agree 100%. The trick for them is to build a compelling application. I faced a similar problem with delineal.com. Like Color, my groundbreaking stuff is in the data choices, algori…
