[ "It is not quite like a video game trying to save resources. The atoms you do not observe still exists. It is just that their position and velocity does not have concrete numbers. Rather it is in a probability wave. When you observe the wave it collapses from a superposition to an absolute position. If you want to draw the comparison to games it is much like how a lot of games handles lag in multiplayer mode. Your game does not know the position of all characters but it knows the approximate position they must be in. However as they round a corner and become visible their position is sent to your computer so now you know their position accurately." ]

[ "**Short answer**: the difference is in how much your processor does in those clock cycles. **Long answer:** The amount of instructions your processor handles each second depends on two factors: * Clock speed: the speed at which the processor components switch state * Instructions per Clock cycle (IPC): the amount of instructions the processor can handle during one cycle. Clock speed has not improved that much over the last 5-10 years. A higher clock speed results in more heat, and we have hit a limit to how much we can comfortably cool. For desktops that's in between 3-4 GHz, for laptops that's even lower. Therefore lots of improvements have been made to the IPC. Mostly it comes down to parallellism: processing multiple instructions at the same time. If we compare processing instructions to doing the laundry: * Pipelining: instead of washing, drying, ironing the first load, then doing the same for the second, third, ... the second load can already start using the washing machine as soon as the first load is transfered to the dryer. * Instruction parallellism: if two loads of laundry require the same washing machine settings, we can put them together and execute in the same cycle. * Multiple processor cores: we use multiple washing machines, dryers, irons to wach multiple loads at the same time. * Multiple instruction threads per core: if a certain load does not need to be ironed, we can use the iron for another load. EDIT: * Most people seem to use the term \"IPC\" only to indicate single core performance, here I used it in the broader sense and do count multicore processors as an improvement in IPC. * Cache is indeed a factor I forgot. In laundry terms, cache is a set of racks where you can store a small amount of laundry. You can store laundry you just washed while it waits for the dryer to be free. Or if you have a load of blue shirts in the washing machine you can already prepare another load of blue shirts to follow so you don't have to switch settings." ]

The brakes and other parts are possibly setup this way because ideal performance may require a lot of number crunching, and number crunching may take data from a LOT of cars.

[ "Transfers can be handled by two methods in the US, Automated Clearing House “ACH” or wire transfers. ACH operates in batches, 3 times a day. The sending bank gathers all the transactions and a final total of money (here’s 62 credits, 72 debits, for a total of $123,456.23) and sends it to the clearing house. The clearing house then batches things up for each bank as well and sends those transactions and final overall total to the receiving bank). Each of those batches takes time. Funds availability depends on the receiving bank’s policy. My bank gives me credit for the incoming money as soon as they get the notification from ACH. Other banks wait until the notification and the actual funds are transferred to give you credit. Wire transfers use FedWire. The money is taken out of your account immediately and send via the Federal Reserve banking network directly to the receiving bank. Because it’s not as efficient as batch processing ACH transactions, there’s a higher cost associated with the transaction. But it is nearly instantaneous." ]

[ "Iodine, chlorine dioxide and bleach is strong oxidizing agents. If you add them to water they increase the pH and will dissolve the cell walls of any bacteria , parasites and virus. Your cells will be attacked in the same way but while the bacteria in the water is exposed for theirty minutes your cells will only get exposed for a few seconds before the solution gets neutralized by your stomach acid. And you have a lot more cells then there are bacteria in the water and are able to replace your cells. Adding to this you have a layer of dead cells which protects the live cells underneath. All in all you can handle the high pH much better then any bacteria in the water. However you can also dissolve an acid, for example vitamin-c, into the water once the iodine have done its job to neutralize the water again to make it more plesent to drink. The iodine and vitamin-c will react and form a powder that settles at the bottom of the container." ]

[ "It takes energy to digest food, and some foods take more energy to digest than others. Foods with lots of complex carbs, like pasta and bread, take a lot of energy for us to process, so until your body processes it and unlocks the energy present in the food, you're spending a lot of energy just to break down the carbs in the food. Eventually you'll get more energy out than you put in, but it takes a while. So in the meantime your body gets tired while it spends all that energy digesting. As an analogy: we can get a lot of energy from oil buried under the ground, but it takes a lot of energy to even access the oil before we can start using it to make more energy." ]

[ "Ok so there's really two things at work here: 1 - the quality of the audio components. This is determined by the quality of the speakers and microphone(s). Higher-end products often use multiple microphones and compare their signals to reduce background noise. Whether the speakers and mic(s) are good or bad is not really a function of whether the headphones are wired or wireless, but rather of the overall quality and price of the hardware. Better speakers/mics typically are made of better materials and have more sound engineering put into them. Increasingly software also plays a role here as the headphones will have circuitry that optimizes the audio for the hardware. 2 - the transmission method (wired vs wireless). The first thing to know here is that most of the time we're dealing with digital audio these days. This means that your audio is not an analog waveform but rather a series of 'samples' of the original wave. Think of it like the audio equivalent of pixels in an image. What may look like a smooth gradient is actually a mosaic of small dots that are imperceptible unless you zoom in. Digital audio is similar. The 'resolution' of audio is measured in bitrate, which is how many of those samples are taken per second. Here's why that's important: a wireless connection can transmit a certain number of bits per second, and the audio is also a certain amount of bits per second. So if the transmission speed is greater than the bits per second of the audio *there will be no quality difference between wired and wireless* aside from some latency. Most bluetooth devices now transmit at 345 kbps. An MP3 has a maximum bitrate of 320 kbps. This means there won't be any impact on the mp3s audio quality from being sent over bluetooth. Some other 'lossless' codecs such as flac use higher bitrates like 1411kbps, in which case it would be downsampled lower before being sent wirelessly. This may or may not reduce quality depending on the track. Most streamed music is streamed at 160kbps so for streaming services bluetooth will always support full quality. Sorry for the long reply." ]

However, the caveat here is that skin protects your organs, muscles, and bones, and any other tissues. If your skin is removed, it would be much easier for your muscle to get hooked on things and injured." ]

[ "You forget that credit card companies get paid by the merchant for all transactions they process. Something like 2 percent plus a small base fee. The rewards you get are smaller than the fee they received by having you use their card. Most cards give back 1% in cash. Meaning you are getting back less than half of what they earned. No matter how much you've generated in rewards the credit card company has earned money. Probably more than you have on those same transactions. You can often get better than 1% value on rewards cards. Travel rewards for example are better value and are often worth 3%+, but that's because card companies have deals with the airlines and hotels so it's still a wash for them." ]

However, you are likely to strain your eyes (sometimes for hours on end) through the simple habit of using your phone in the dark on normal settings. * The phone itself is not damaging your eyes unlike UV emissions in sunlight, but staring at a screen tends to dry you out as we don't blink as much when focused on it in that way. Intense blue light however does affect the circadian rhythm - your sleep cycle. The fatigue and strain of staring at a screen with reduced blinking for hours a day every day every week are then made even more difficult to recover from by your disrupted sleep cycles and the general pace of modern life. Most OSes for phones, PCs and laptops (and to a lesser degree browsers and some other apps) have settings for night use, which can reduce the stimulation and lets you sleep more easily; 'glasses' that claim to block blue light have little effect if any according to the AAO. * These settings such as Win10's Night Light do alter (obviously) the colors and contrast while active but as long as you don't particularly need bright or correct colors it's quite comfortable. You don't need to worry about your retinas burning off, but remember several times an hour to look at something distant for at least twenty seconds when you've been focused on a screen up close.

[ "The Japanese have been fighting a deflation-driven recession since the early 90s. What that means is that people spend less money, the economy shrinks, and people get laid off. This makes people fearful, so they spend even less money, and the economy shrinks more, and more people get laid off. It's a viscous circle. We know the best way to break out of that circle is for the government to step in and jump start the economy by: (1) spending lots and lots of money, and (2) loaning money out to anyone who wants it. The government keeps spending and spending until the economy gets health again. This takes some will power, because there's a strong temptation to take the foot off the gas too early. The problem is that the Japanese keep doing it wrong. They spend some money, not enough to jump start the economy. So they end up with the worst possible outcome - huge debts and an economy that won't get better. And then they try it again and fail for the same reason. And then again, and again, and again. To add to this, Japan has very stable debt as A. most of it is domestically owned by Japanese citizens and B. Japan, like the U.S has a good credit rating" ]

[ "Because historically female virginity was something quite valuable and losing it or having it taken from you was a major thing with all sorts of implication beyond just sex. People put a lot of worth into virginity because the physical aspect of it was something that could be actually verified. It being the first time you had sex with your husband was something that could be noticed and if you kept the bloody sheets the couple could even prove it to others. This was important because paternity was important, because family was important. Being a virgin on your wedding night was seen as a pretty good indicator that any child born 9 month or a bit less down the road would be the husbands. That is important for questions of inheritance. Of course nowadays paternity and faithfulness are important too, but in those days there was no way to test paternity with DNA or even by comparing blood groups. Also in those days there was no real social welfare net. No unemployment benefits or anything like that you either had a family take care of you when you couldn't take care of yourself or you were mostly fucked. Family was important because without the modern state taking care of people it was all they had. A girl's virginity was a bargaining chip that could be exchanged for a lifetime of benefits. It was worth quite a lot and carelessly giving it away or having it cruelly taken from you is a catastrophe that could destroy a lot. It is why rape was seen as such a big crime in many cultures. Not because of the suffering of the woman, but because of the damage done to her family, especially her father if she was a virgin. It is why in old stories women who have done the deed will talk about being ruined or no longer being fit for marriage. Or why even today people talk about \"taking responsibility\". It is the general idea of \"you broke it - you bought it\". No one would want a bride who was not a virgin and thus the one who caused her to loose her virginity was expected to take care of her. It is why you get parts in the bible (and in older religious influenced law books), that have marriage as an out for rape or sex with a minor. Even worse in societies were there is no strong central authority to keep the peace people and families survived based on their reputation. Reputation or honour was a life or death thing in many societies. A girl who got a reputation for having lost her virginity, would not just reflect badly on her, but also on her family. Which is why extreme measure were often taken to avoid harm to ones honour and repair ones reputation. It is how you get honour killings. So virginity was a matter of life and death in some cultures (and evens still is in some today) and even if you weren't in danger of being killed by your own family over losing it, you might still get cast out or at miss out on finding a good husband who (together with his family) would provide for you for the rest of your life. For quite a lot of girls their virginity was the greatest treasure they ever had and giving it away was a very big thing. Nowadays we have a culture of law instead of honour and we have forms of social security and employment opportunities for single women and paternity tests and a lot of other things that make the worth of ones virginity much less of a life or death thing, the language that has built up around it however survives." ]

In this case, spending went down during the pandemic, and a lot of stimulus money wasn't actually used. Now that the country is reopening, a lot of people are starting to spend that saved-up cash. The current inflation is both a good and a bad sign; it's bad because it obviously means prices will go up on essentially everything, but it's a good sign because it indicates that a lot of people are starting to spend money again at pre-pandemic rates, indicating that the US is returning to economic normality. At the same time (on a personal level); inflation is actually a *good* thing for debtors, as debts don't inflate with the currency, thus the functional value of the money you owe goes down with inflation." ]

[ "Semiconductor manufacturing is an industry full of secret techniques and skilled manufacturers. They are basing it on lithography which is using light to change the chemicals in a film of material creating a patterned mask that masks out where you want the next process to happen. If you want some examples of this I suggest looking up PCB manufacturing which also use lithography but with precision measured in millimeters and not nanometers. When Intel have manufacturers who can make 10nm chips that means their manufacturing methods have a precision of 10nm. So if you have components that are spaced closer together then 10nm they might overlap which means the chip does not work. The issue is that Intel does not really have the ability to make 10nm chips reliably. They manufacturing techniques might have a precision of say 16nm. That means that if they try to make 10nm chips using their 16nm techniques it might work or it might fail. So when they test their chips after manufacturing they scrap the ones that does not work. They do have the ability to disable some cores in modern chips which is why you get odd things like 5 core CPUs which actually have more cores on the chip but some are disabled because they failed quality control. And naturally a dual core chip have less components which can fail so they can expect more of these chips to get through quality control. It is possible that Global Foundries have more accurate machines, better skilled workers and secret techniques which makes them more accurate then Intel. They might be able to output 10nm chips very reliable with most of the chips getting through the quality control." ]

[ "Your brain is filled with little sockets, called receptors, that certain chemicals can fit into. Think of it like legos. There are different types, and only certain chemicals can fit into certain receptors. If you try to fit a dopamine molecule into a serotonin receptor, it won't work, much like trying to use duplo blocks with normal legos. But, often times there are chemicals that can still fit into the receptor, even though they aren't exactly the same. Think of it like the Tyco blocks, they still fit the brand-name legos, even though they weren't made by lego. Your brain has a specific set of receptors called the cannibinoid receptors. These primarily work with a specific chemical produced in the body called anandamide. This chemical/receptor combination regulates a number of brain/body functions notably, the ability to feel pleasure, the hunger response, and the body's motivation/reward system. Cannabis contains a number of different chemicals that can fit into those receptors, primarily THC. However, even though they fit, they fit just a little differently from natural anandamide and cause the receptors to function a little differently, increasing pleasure and creating the bodily sensations associated with being high." ]

[ "A PID controller is made up of 3 parts. Proportional Intergral Derivative You then have a target value you want the system achieve and maintain. The distance from that target value is your error. For example if you want a car to drive at 100kph but it’s currently moving at 90kph then the target value is 100 and the error is 10. The proportional part of the controller works as hard to fix the error as the error is big. Meaning if the error is twice as big it’ll work twice as hard to fix it, if the error is half as big it’ll work half has hard to fix it. In the case if the car analogy it’ll work 10 hard to fix the error as the error is 10. The integral part of the controller is similar to the proportional part, but it also has a time component. So the longer an error lasts for the harder the integral part of the controller tries to fix it. Going back to the car analogy working 10 hard to fix the error might not be enough to fix it if the car is going up a hill, but if the error doesn’t get fixed quickly the integral part of controller will realise this and work harder to fix the error. So for example initially it’ll be working 10 hard to fix the error (from the proportional) but after 1 second it’ll be working 11 hard, after 2 seconds it’ll be 12 hard, etc. The derivative part is designed to control how fast the error is being corrected. If the error is being corrected too quickly then it can overshoot the target value. Back to the car, imagine you’re going 90 and the car then decides to go to full power, you’ll go past 100 where it then has to slow down again, but if it slows too fast it’ll drop below 100 and has to speed up, then it goes past 100 and has to slow down, etc." ]

The nervous system is not only the brain, but also the spinal cord and nerves which go out to muscles, organs and skin. What is a brain without all of these connections? Even the higher centres of the brain related to personality, decision making, etc. are all fundamentally part of a process that is geared towards getting us to reproduce and pass on our genes. So what happens to a brain that cannot do this anymore? Is it even a 'person' as we would think of one? We don't really have answers to these questions. In terms of the physiology - theoretically you could keep the brain alive indefinitely, as brain cells don't divide.

News casters are all supposed to learn to use this accent, but regional accents do slip in. Tone and Resonance They learn how to modulate their voice with vocal techniques that produce more resonance. Resonance is just making something vibrate, like the belly of a guitar or a piano string. We can control where we \"send\" the resonance of our voice by using good posture, changing how tense or loose the muscles around the voice box are, having excellent breath support, and changing the shape of the throat. Sending the resonance up into the sinuses (without getting nasal) makes a purer sound (It's called a head voice and is easier for high pitched voices to do).If we send the sound to the throat or chest, it makes a richer, deeper sound because more air is resonating in a larger space (the lungs vs. the sinuses). This modulation and placement of your voice's resonance give your voice a pleasant, rich tone. Your voice will be more full sounding and thus seem more authoritative. Pitch, Volume, and Rhythm They also learn to use a lot of inflection, so that reading headlines isn't as dull.

[ "For google or the company advertising? Paid by click? Google has 3.3 billion daily searches, 3,300,000,000 views, with 10% of searches resulting in clicking online ads Thats 330,000,000. With 1.6% of those meeting the paid per click requirements, So we have 5,280,000. With Google charging $1-$2 dollars for advertisers per click on search page ads, lets just say they would charge the same for simplicity sake. We could take a slightly less than wild guess and say between $5 million and 10 million a day. Currently Google earns about $100 million a day from advertising, reporting $10.6 billion just from ads in a single quarter" ]

[ "1) We do eat land-based carnivore. Some places eat dogs and cats, we eat frogs, snakes and some turtles. There is also alligator and crocodiles, but I not sure if you consider them land-based. 2) Animal that are in danger and have low number usually cost a lot more to hunt or are protected so we can't eat them on a large base. 3) Hunting land based carnivore is dangerous, if you miss your shot they might go after you, but for seagoing canivore the danger isn't as big since we stay on boat. In addition a squid or an octopus is a lot less dangerous for human than wolf or lion can be." ]

[ "It allows stores that sell marijuana products to use the national banking system. The vast, vast majority of banks in the US are regulated at the Federal level. Federal law imposes a duty for them to determine the source of their client's funds. If those funds come from a business that is illegal at the Federal level then the bank has to refuse to do business with that person. Only a handful of banks are regulated solely at the state level. Those banks avoid Federal regulations because they are extremely small and operate in a very limited geographic area (typically in a single city). However, those banks still need to interface with the broader national system to function, so even they won't do business with marijuana related businesses out of fear that they'll be blocked from making interstate transactions. Because of this, most marijuana businesses operate on a cash only basis and their employees are in a weird position where any money they store in a bank can be seized at any time - and this is something that regularly happens to marijuana business employees. Legalizing marijuana at the Federal level means that marijuana related businesses are no longer deriving their income from an activity that is illegal at the Federal level and so would allow them to use the banking system." ]

[ "[This article]( URL_0 ) gives some insight. TL;DR: It's thought that the ancient Egyptians chose a base 12 number system either because it's roughly the number of lunar cycles in a year or because it's the the number of joints on the fingers on one hand. They built sundials and divided them into 12 parts. They later found a set of 24 stars on roughly equidistant hour lines to enable time keeping at night. 24 because the stars you see in the summer won't be seen in the winter. More precise mechanical clocks came after Galileo's research of pendulums. It was found that there's a simple mathematical relationship between the length of the pendulum and the period of the swing. Moreover, it's independent from the mass and width of the swing. The number of swings of a pendulum in a day could be measured and, from that, the appropriate length of the pendulum chosen to give a nicer number of swings in a day like 60 * 60 * 24. Most likely clocks did not stay in sync, but that's why we have astronomy for precise time keeping." ]

[ "We actually don't really have a definition of \"alive\". Viruses kind of *are* alive, but are also kind of not. The reason we say that viruses aren't alive is because they depend on borrowing the replication machinery of host cells in order to reproduce. At the end of the day, everything any living cell does is unconscious. These things happen based solely on the combination of gene expressions and molecules within a given location. Nothing makes the active decision to \"Get into the cell\" for example, it just does so by way of its shape. A virus will always penetrate a cell it's capable of penetrating in the same way that a magnet will always stick to magnetic metals, even without any conscious influence. From there, evolution takes the reigns - killing off viruses that aren't good at doing the stuff they need to do, and propagating the ones that are." ]

[ "It is worth noting that we actually don't know how SSRI antidepressants work. We know what they do, and we know the result. But the intermediate steps are still a mystery. So, we know they prevent serotonin being taken back into neurones after release by blocking the transporter protein. This means the serotonin stays around for longer. we know that after a prolonged period of living like this, the brain changes the way it behaves as a result. However, exactly how it changes, or why preventing serotonin re-uptake is so helpful is not known. It does not seem to be as simple as 'serotonin floating around longer = better', and this is not able to help some people." ]
