"Provisional Patent Application" costing more than $110 to file, the idea for hashstamp-world may have been inspired by the old-style inability to edit/delete slashdot journal-entries/comments. The lone inventor's nightmare, the big company claim "Anyone could have thought of that, in fact, we were Just Getting Around To That.". In hashstamp-world, you would routinely "file" the hashes of your efforts, making "Prior Art Claims" nearly free.
So for the NEXT iteration of slashdot, for a fee, you could allow locking a Journal Entry against modify/delete.
Journaling the hash of your self-portrait and thus locking it would allow resolving password-stolen-claims, while maintaining anonymity in the meantime.
I found the BBC video, if you go to YouTube and enter "SECRETS of the sexes 1-3", and skip to the 2:00 mark, where you see a guy hauling brains out of a refrigerator. This provides good context for the 3:40 discussion of how women really DO use both sides of their brain, in this case to process audio. Which sets up for the beginning of the go-kart-race at 4:50. The go-kart-race is interleaved with other scenes, continuing over into "SECRETS of the sexes 1-4", which kicks off with that real-time-graph of hormone levels as Lloyd tries to catch-up-to Jamie, which is what I thought of when seeing the topic of this discussion.
"Madame Curie" vs "the Williams sisters"( as in Tennis ), hmm... Unlike a number of top ladies, it seems beyond doubt that the Williams sisters are indeed women, but Serena in particular shows such brute strength. The Google query ( Serena Williams hormones ) returns much ugly chat, but pure scientists have gotta wonder what's going on there.
I cannot manage to find the title by searching, maybe someone can help me remember the exact title of the excellent (made-in-UK) PBS show I saw once on this exact topic, most likely Nature or Nova. Here is what I remember...
The star of the show turned out to be an "Investment Banker", his readings showed strong but controlled hormone swings as he calmly steered his go-kart around the track to an excellent time, while others with higher testosterone levels spun out. He could pick up an egg with a backhoe, and wasn't too bad at changing a baby. At the end they compared their finger lengths to confirm this was a good predictor of hormone level.
ALSO there was a WOMAN with a high testosterone level, she was the only one of the women who could pick up an egg with a backhoe, and she was some kind of aerospace engineer in real life.
On June 2 abcnews ran a story you can easily find with the Google query (( Mouazzen Shanghai )) - "The Flip Side of China's Economic Miracle
A German Businessman Finds Corruption in Dealings With China". Basically his business was in arranging the international sale of heavy equipment - his mistake was to stop the video-documentary after the crane was in a numbered container in a huge line with other trucks to get thru customs. Sometime after that the crane got fraudulently swapped - the relatively large effort involved in fraudulently swapping a heavy crane is the cautionary part, they WILL go to that length to steal-a-buck pver there.
Japanese kids take measurably longer to learn to read & write even KANJI, which is a *simplified* version of the original Japanese or Chinese - the Wikipedia page on KANJI is fascinating. I speculate that because such bazillions-of-graphics-languages are more difficult to learn, this is more selection-pressure on the Japanese brain, than there is selection-pressure on kids in alphabet-based-language-countries because ours are easier.
The savant Daniel Tammet's book "Embracing the Wide Sky" contains fascinating a hologram of tidbits on how the visual and language centers are related to intelligence, Tammet has a different angle on things.
I am currently working on an App, which I intend to release in both ANSI and UNICODE versions. Why do most of us need to use twice as much computer memory, just because some people need 16 bits for THEIR character set, OURS is 0x100 times better !
I stand partially corrected. Certainly Hilbert-spaces are essential to quantum theory and I see that they are a subtopic of the Wikipedia article on "Functional Analysis". But like you say in my introductory course they spent a lot of time on countability and we never got around to the "applied" part.
Fond memories of the optimization-course I took based on Luenberger's "Linear and Nonlinear Programming", I think my mind was beneficially shaped by that although I've never directly used that knowledge for coding.
On the other hand I once took a course titled "Functional Analysis" which kicked off with discussions of countability and the Cantor set - IMHO a total waste of time, I'll never get those hours back.
Darwin-awards-wise, one might wish that folks who get in trouble say on El Capitan should be left to nature, but a device like this would seem potentially safer than a Helicopter, you can imagine just plucking a climber off a wall. The Google Query (( rescue helicopter crash rainier )) finds articles related to that video I saw once where the blades just brushed the snow, bye bye. With the ducted fans this device seems to fix that problem. No mention of the theoretical altitude ceiling, say with improved engine, still way cheaper than a helicopter.
