Right, actions and status available as "code-able" data. I think copying the decision-making of an innovator (ie, copying innovative code) would cause a player to act as an innovator.

I think in any organization (animals, humans, etc), members promote individuals who are successful and who aren't erratic, fast or laborious; and an individual is encouraged to lead due to the following that its performance produces.

The researchers wanted to compare imitation to innovation, so I get the impression that they arranged the game to allow players to copy behavior, not to copy code. Thus, the actions and status of other players are available as data. For example: "IF (>50% of players = eating) AND (<10% = sick), THEN eat UNTIL (full) OR (no food)." So, upon entering a berry field, if many players are eating and few are sick, then the player eats. In the least, this explains the mob mentality and human "lemmings", and it shows that innovation is risky.

So it involves lots of simultaneous equations, and I don't know how it would detect color. As with other competing technologies, it would need to show a significant advantage for general or specific usage, especially since CCD technology is so well-established. For example, CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) defeated CID (Charge-Injection Device) so profoundly that Wikipedia doesn't even have an article on CID!

Yes, CRTs detect each pixel. Your method seems to be the "negative logic" to CRTs. It detects all pixels except for a row, column, diagonal, etc, then massive number crunching determines the value of the pixels. Ultimately, "the proof of the pudding is in the eating".

I absolutely abhor stories of fathers who throw their little kids into deep water to teach them how to swim, and this is what I’m hearing about this “friend”. This isn’t about a woman with a boyfriend who’s not sure about taking it to the next level, and it isn’t about a woman who dates but hasn’t found anyone special. This “friend” does not care about a natural or a comfortable progression, and she certainly doesn’t care about this woman as a person. I have lived a long time (ugh!), and I can say that I have never met anyone in a happy, permanent relationship who kicked themselves for not having dated, slept around, etc earlier in life. I sincerely believe that, when you meet the right person for you, and something clicks big time, and everything falls into place, then the past and all the previous apprehensions and lonely nights simply vanish. I think bars, where everyone tries to impress and make time, are the last place to meet sober people under honest circumstances. If you’re not the type to meet someone at church/temple/mosque/supermarkets?/etc (which might not be as good as it sounds), then there’s other ways to noncommittally meet and get to know sincere young people. Google “single volunteers” combined with the name of a large city near you. These nonprofits mostly involve young people and college students, who are “nice” enough that they want to help others and to help society and maybe, just maybe, meet someone of interest to them. You typically meet on a Saturday or Sunday as a group in a public location accessible by public transportation, volunteer for a few hours, and then enjoy everyone’s company over lunch or dinner at a nearby restaurant. Working with someone is a really good way to get to know their personality. These nonprofits tend to offer a wide variety of volunteer opportunities, so you’re bound to find something that interests you. (I’m sorry if this is considered spam.)

You can read an abstract here about how calcium supplementation increases the stature of 16- to 18-year-old boys. There's probably more articles out there on this phenomenon.

Newton's method?

This sounds like a homework question, and I won't give you the answer, just help you to think toward it. Red blood cells is one answer, and you can use this if you want, but it may not be the answer the teacher/prof wants. Think extreme "specialization". Your teacher/prof has probably taught you the answer already, you just haven't thought about it before in this way. It's one of these "Oh yeah!" answers.

I'm no expert, but I know that medicine has involved increasing amounts of high-technology due to both the technology physicians use in their work and the technology that produces the imagery used by physicians. For example, neurosurgeons treat some patients with radiation therapy and radiosurgery, and they use imagery produced by CAT scans, MRIs etc. So, more med students have opted to take engineering as their pre-med. For me, the successful physician is someone who doesn't simply punch in some magnitudes, coordinates, etc into an instrument, but someone who knows exactly what the numbers mean and who knows the intricacies of the instrument itself. You may need very good 3-D/spatial thinking when working on the brain without opening the patient's skull. All of this is, of course, in addition to focusing on (no pun intended) the object of your work, neurons and other cells. Best wishes.

There's at least a couple of answers, but I think I know the specific answer hinted at here. This question is a little tricky, so don’t take it personally. Think of some of the basic things that can happen with DNA, and think of what is a (hopefully) obvious way that only part of the DNA is present. Also relax your typical definition of a human “cell” -- partial DNA is obviously an odd situation, so think “specialized”. You can ignore the “to produce every protein type” part of this puzzle because this is an obvious result if part of the DNA is missing. If what I’m thinking is right, I hope there's some interesting follow-on discussion about "not every protein".

Simply stated, this sounds like television using “negative logic” for image capture followed by massive computations to extract the image from the noise. Regardless, the imaging companies might best decide on its viability.

The well-known phenomenon that the sound of an alarm clock amplifies the gravity vector's normal component, making it hard to get out of bed in the morning. A poor solution to this localized effect is to place the alarm clock on the dresser on the other side of the room, away from the bed. Some historical data suggests that this phenomenon did not exist decades ago with old-fashioned wind-up alarm clocks; however, a scientific study has yet to be conducted.

I don't know of any honor societies except the National Honor Society from high school. I would (earnestly) focus on membership in professional organizations (IEEE, ASME, ACS, etc) that are known to, and respected by, industry. For small money, you can maintain these memberships throughout the years, and that does look good on résumés. However, around middle age, I suggest removing reference to years of membership due to age discrimination. Hiring someone with 12 years of professional affiliations is okay, but advertising 35 years of affiliation is might say you're over the hill and may deny you the chance to interview.

Perhaps the greatest mystery surrounding Architeuthis is where we might find them. So, what logic and clues do you use, and do the habitats suggested by the clues coincide with one another? For example: depths frequented by whales where they might fight with squids, depths where we find related squids (ie, related by DNA, prey food, etc), depths at which we find the various prey found inside the squids, etc. What does its great size and other anatomical features suggest about its habits? Also, why does there “seem” to be fewer surface sightings nowadays than in the past (ie, attacking ships, battling whales, sunbathing?, etc)? Lastly, how do the four carcasses that washed ashore in Australia in the summertime (but over the course of many years) figure into theories of its habits?

I'm working on an astronomy project, and I need a heliocentric ephemeris app download for the planets. I'm cautious of not well-known software, so I'd much prefer a trusted app ... definitely not one for astrology. I'm also on a shoe string budget, so getting it for free is pretty much necessary. I'm aware that I may be asking too much. Thanks!

CharonY, does running "neutralization assays" seem realistic here? In terms of using common products, the assays could use an antibacterial product that uses Triclosan. The assay would need some development. Probably the idea/effort alone, regardless of the results, would impress greatly. XD happiness..., what education level does this involve?

Theoretically, if two cars with the same momentum collided head-on where a line was drawn across the road, each car would stay on its own side of the line, proving that a head-on crash unfolds the same as, for example, colliding with an immovable object. Realistically, no two cars have the same momentum, thus one ends up suffering a greater impact than the other. For example, one dead person is "worse" than two injured people. And this is in addition to there typically being twice as many injured/killed people and broken/ruined cars involved. Also, from a human perspective (literally), instead of a victim seeing, say, a bridge abutment approaching at a realistic relative speed of 60 mph, they see another car approaching at an unrealistic relative speed of 120 mph, which makes it seem worse.

Mr Skeptic, I'd guess that UV would seem more purplish or an unknown shade of purple. I knew of an elderly lady who underwent cataract surgery and who complained afterwards that lots of things (like asphalt) were too purple. Maybe we can only guess at other shades of purple because most people have never seen them. Radical Edward, Thank you. I didn't know that the L cones were stimulated in the blue region. I don't know if I learned that the different types of cones were supposedly simple "bandpass" filters or if I just fell into remembering them that way. So, maybe this explains why humans make color wheels where, illogically, the blue (short wavelength) wraps around to the red (long wavelength) with purple in between?

(emphasis added) The Three Laws of Robotics 1. A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. 2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. 3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.

Our perception of colors is based on the relative intensities of the signals generated by the eye’s S cones (short wavelength), M cones (medium wavelength) and L cones (long wavelength). For example, what we perceive as “blue” is mostly S signal with a little M signal and even less L signal; whereas “red” is mostly L signal with a little M signal and almost no S signal. It seems that “ultraviolet” would be perceived as all S signal and none of the others. Thus, perhaps the brain could be faked into perceiving ultraviolet if only the S cones or their nerves could be stimulated.
