Qlhw It s Now Easier to Be Shot to Death by a Drone in Yemen
Here a fun experiment: stop what you ;re doing and use your hands to count to ten. Done Good. Now remember how you did it, because we ;re about to analyze your technique; as it turns out, how you count with your hands may say a lot more about you than you think. So, how do you count Many cultures use some variation of what psychologists call the closed fist method, wherein one starts with a closed fist, and begins counting by unfurling the fingers of his or her hand. But the stanley cup similarities end there. The degree of cultural diversity in finger counting 8230; has been grossly underestimated, write psychologists Andrea Bender and Sieghard Beller in the latest issue of Cognition. Europeans, for example, tend to beg stanley cup usa in counting with the thumb of their left hand. People from the Middle East, however, often begin counting with the little finger of their right hand. If you hail from China, or North America, you ;re more likely to begin counting on an index finger. The Japanese are the odd ones out; they tend to start from an open-hand position, and count by closing their fingers into a fist, beginning with the little finger. Great, you might be thinking. So people count differently 8230; what the big deal The big deal, explains The Guardian Corrine Burns, is that finger counting may feel as natural as breathing, but that findings such stanley cup as these strongly suggest that it is neither innat Ziql Polygonic Spree, Plan a Trip, Add Arrows to Photos, and Enter The School of Rock
If it weren ;t for the fact that Vint Cerf was the grandaddy of the internet, people might be pointing and laughing at him. In a TED discussion panel last night, about how technology is being used to communic stanley canada ate with animals, Cerf spoke freely about an internet that connects humans with animals and aliens. But given his background, he probably not far off the mark. From a TED blog post about the discussion panel, it appears Cerf uttered the following: stanley water bottle 8220;Forty years ago we wrote the script of the in stanley polska ternet. Thirty years ago we turned it on. We thought we were building a system to connect computers together. But we quickly learned that it a system for connecting people. What important about what these people are doing: They ;re beginning to learn how to communicate with species that are not us, but share a sensory environment. [They ;re figuring out] what it means to communicate with something that not a person. I can ;t wait to see these experiments unfold. These interactions with other animals will teach us, ultimately, how we might interact with an alien from another world. I can hardly wait. Of course, one man lunacy is another ambition鈥攂ut knowing Cerf track record, it seems likely that he onto something. In which case, we can hardly wait either.
