It is not about how big the brain is. It is about the number of neurons, latency, signal reliability and number of connections. Voltage-gated ion channels are non-deterministic. Me…

Personally, the hardest part for me was keeping track of the size of everything. Coming from a higher level language, keeping track of the bits and bytes takes some getting used to…

We'll never really know. I would love to watch that movie though. Also I didn't mean to use "nobody" as an insult. There's nothing wrong with being a nobody. The majority of people…

I don't think this is true. It's narrative nice people tell themselves to find reason in a world that has none. Yea, they suffer sometimes from poor planning and bad luck, but more…

It's not about American or European. Assuming these jerks are of higher rank, few people have the balls to stand up to their boss short of quitting. If they're lower or equal rank,…

Why can't you be nice but firm at the same time? I know people who tries to be stubborn to cover up their lack of knowledge. Usually, those people are smarter than the majority but…

The part on being enforced by a central government, yes. But my last line still applies to all money. That's why when someone mentions the phrase "intrinsic value", they are not se…

Money is a piece of token that represents favor or debt the world owns to you, or at least, anyone who takes money as payment. This whole premise is enforced by central governments…

FileVault is completely transparent for me here. I can hardly notice any performance hit. Now, if only Apple can fix the incessant graphics freezing...

What exactly does seizing a laptop even do anymore with the ubiquity of cloud storage? Simply make an encrypted backup and wipe everything before traveling through airports and bor…

I'm job-hunting currently and most companies demand you know Objective-C with Swift as the icing. Many don't even care about Swift at all. Many frameworks are written in Objective-…

Get your hormones level tested first, specifically testosterone. I'm not sure what you're shooting for but self-help books don't really work. It's like teaching a blind man to see.…

I think depression may stem from the feeling of helplessness. Being forced to perform meaningless tasks (because that's high school), having absolutely no power and control over yo…

Some people may find this surprising, but you shouldn't. It's simply how the world works. It's repugnant but life is not fair. Racial discrimination is only the tip of the iceberg.…

My point is, the allegory is a farce that trivialize reality. The simple life is not simple. No life is ever simple. The allegory masquerades as false wisdom. I know quite a few gu…

You can't support a family catching 2-5 fishes a day. This is not prehistory. You need to catch extra to sell so you can afford to take your kid to the doctor and buy them medicine…

If you've ever fished for a living, the argument seems ludicrous. Fishing can be treacherous work. You might get rich with a big haul or die when the whether turns bad. There are m…

SEEKING WORK Location: Charlotte, NC Remote: Yes github.com/auto234875 You can find my email in my profile. Language: Proficient in Objc-C, familiar with C and Swift I'm an iOS dev…

It boils my blood every time that I come across an interesting topic on SO just to see it locked. Something is wrong with the site when you see more topics locked than open.

There's really no hard rule. It's based on the feeling of whoever is reviewing your account transactions. Even if you deposit $2-3k every month, your account could still be under s…

You'll be surprised at all the people making "large" cash deposit, seemingly oblivious to the law. FinCEN is already bombarded with tons of information. In the process, some crimin…

Basically, once your asset has been frozen, the game is nearly over. Even without any charge being pressed, it takes years to get back the seized asset/property, if it's given back…

This has been the case for a long time. The IRS works on a guilty-until-proven-innocent basis. Take the case of collectible gain tax, if you do not have evidence to prove the value…

I'm curious how much experience the author had at the time of hiring. While I'm not familiar with the hiring requirements for web dev, in the iOS development world in particular, i…

What platform are you aiming at? I usually browse through dribbble and try out apps produced by well-funded startups to find new ideas.
