Once you say "observe your own thinking" I already know you're not following the subject, even the basic stuff they publish in New Scientist.
The way memory works is not the way remembering feels like it works. It is as simple as that.
Quantization of attention doesn't even happen the way it feels like it does! And that's the most focused part of your subjective awareness.
Being credulous of how shit feels is the path to nonsensical blahblah, not understanding of the human brain. It is embarrassing to see somebody recommend it, right next to trying to paraphrase research results.
You're conflating a different type of memory than is involved in choosing between various items. You don't have to have all the choices in that part of your memory to choose between them. Like in what you talked about; you don't need to hold the 10 digits of a phone number in your short term memory in order to choose between calling that number or calling a different one. And you can choose between calling many more phone numbers than you can easily memorize if they have labels, descriptions, or other meta-data to index them.
You don't fucking know, because your service is still using 90s tech. Why would you have any idea what the difference in resources is? That is a ghetto service level, you obviously didn't invest in a modern setup and then find that the old way was better.
But I'll throw you a bone. VPS takes less resources because most of the instantiations are not actually in use most of the time. Containers not in use get parked, and transparently restored when you connect to them. It sounds "literally the stupidest fucking thing [you've] read" simply because it is true, and a technical detail. Of course it sounds stupid to you. You're providing 90s shared hosting, in 2019, and you're not only shameless, you're actually trying to shame others. Others who provide containerized services.
My clients sure as fuck would rather have the safety of modern containers than the shit like in the story where anybody with half a clue who is hostile to your clients can p0wn your shit and attack them. When your clients are protected solely by hoping that the system doesn't have any undisclosed unix user escalation vulnerabilities, you're totally fucked at all times. That is how often that particular type of exploit has been in the wild continuously for decades. The user system is pretty good, for what it is, but it doesn't provide the protection needed for shared hosting. Duh.
Look, no. I didn't "come to that idea." It isn't an idea, and I didn't collect the data either.
Just, no. Stop being credulous of ideas. Look it the fuck up.
And furthermore, salt shakers are very very rarely a source of excess sodium. The sodium is in your cheesy poofs, it is in your potato chips, it is every food in a western supermarket designed to be cooked in a microwave, etc., etc. Salt shakers put the sodium right on the surface of the food, where it touches your tongue directly. It only takes a little bit to taste excessively salty. If none of your foods had any added sodium at all, and you dumped lots and lots of salt from the shaker onto every meal, you'd be unlikely to exceed the recommended limit.
Also the processed food has added sweeteners. Because it increases taste-based salt tolerance to mix them. That's why you find so many stupid idiots with really high sodium consumption, who are all like, "I never really eat anything salty. I don't even own a salt shaker."
I can add more salt to sushi by dipping it in soy sauce than would ever taste good to sprinkle on it.
And a lot of Japanese desserts are savory, eg., salty.
Have you ever actually eaten miso soup? It has more salt than yeast! 1 bowl puts you close to the US daily recommendation.
You're unlikely to even find seaweed salad that isn't salted before packing, for quality. Including the frozen stuff.
There are a small number of people with high blood pressure who are really sensitive to sodium. When those people eat a teaspoon of salt, their blood pressure goes up over 15 points. Those people need to avoid sodium, eating it might kill them.
The vast majority of people who have high blood pressure do not have that response. Their blood pressure only goes up about 2 points from eating a spoon of salt. A 2 point change in blood pressure does not correlate with worse outcomes. It seems to not be enough to matter.
So the whole blood pressure/salt thing is mostly a lie that is designed to protect a small percentage of patients. I had an RN call me a murderer once for pointing that out, because poor people might not have health care and so they want to lie to everybody about the details so everybody is scared of salt. Crazy stuff.
They're weird in general about high blood pressure. They know that lowering your BP by 2 points does nothing at all to improve medical outcomes, but they still insist that if a medicine lowers your BP by 2 points, you "need" to take it. Probably for the rest of your life. Whereas really the clinical data says that if they don't lower it by at least 5 points they didn't do shit, and 5 points is in the "barely shit" category. 2 points is "no benefit." And yet, still potential side effects from the medicine. If they had any sense they would recognize ineffective medicine as potentially harmful and discontinue it.
The reality with high blood pressure is that if you get enough exercise, medical outcomes are much better. And that is independent of if the exercise actually lowers the patient's BP!
I would think 1886 would be a great time to invest in buggy whips. It was a long time before the average household had a car. If you were a buggy driver, when cars first stated becoming popular with rich people, you might have been really pleased with the related improvements to the roads. It might have even been the golden age of the buggy! But that said, diversify promptly after WWI.
~5 is visual working memory, not the constraints of working memory generally. That is not at all a limit on choices. Even something simple like remembering a phone number takes remembering more than 5 things.
For example, in food selection at a supermarket, humans limit themselves to about 50 different products that they sometimes buy. Whereas orangutans have better working memory and select from around 250 different food items.
Well, I for one am impressed that two humans both took the time to listen to cat, and consider that the noises it makes might be communicative. Most humans aren't really that smart, they only manage to keep a pet alive because of their innate parenting instincts.
Cats can understand names, but something like "down" is really abstract. They don't understand that shit at all.
The only reason it seems like they understand it is that they understand "down" means "I'm mad at you," and they separately have figured out you get mad when they're on the counter. So if both these things are happening, they're likely to take evasive actions.
They probably all know that when you pat your lap you want them to cuddle. It might not be a problem of them not understanding, but rather a problem of them understanding all-too-well and simply wanting something else. Some cats consider it poor form to give you emotional support on request, and you'll just to wait until they're ready. (or learn to act stand-offish enough to entice their cooperation)
One thing that can help is to learn a little cat; turn your head so that it is about 45deg from the cat, blink once slowly, exaggerated. Look around the room. Repeat one time. (only) This means, "Hey, I'm sitting here thinking about you, you have my permission to hang out. But I'm not asking, I'm just sitting here stationary by myself, mostly doing my own thing." Cats appreciate it if you can share this type of communication with them sometimes. Unfortunately, most humans aren't really smart enough.
Except we're not the only one's with opposable thumbs so it can't be that. And African gray parrots certainly can do the talky, talky just fine so it's not that either.
It's a combination of those things plus being bipedal. Pretty much every other animal with four limbs uses all of them for movement (other mammals normally, if not always, walk on all four legs; birds use the two upper limbs for flight, etc.). Humans don't need to use our arms and hands for much else, so they're available for investigating and manipulating the surrounding environment.
I'm not convinced you've ever even seen a video of weasel behavior while they're exploring their environment. Lots of animals walk around touching and manipulating things with their hands, that has nothing to do with being bipedal.
5 shills, buddy. You're on slashdot talking shit... in defense of your work?
Dude, like, shut the fuck up and get back to work, don't shill about your shitting 90s hosting service and how being a small hosting fish guarantees you're doing things right and that customers are benefiting by choosing you.
Yeah fucking right! They should choose somebody who knows enough about the technology not to push old, insecure hosting stacks and then use false equivalency to try to create a scare about wordpress, as if using shitty shared hosting protects you from that or something. It doesn't. So if you use shitty wordpress, you get p0wned from that, in addition to already getting p0wned because you used shitty shared hosting without virtualization.
You're allowed to segment some types of advertising based on age. You're not allowed to segment advertising of certain things, including housing, on race.
You're allowed to charge different amounts of money for advertising using a formula based on things like age ranges and income levels. That does not guarantee it would also be legal to determine who to show the adds to based on age. In some cases, such as housing, when displaying the ads you might only be allowed the distinctions over 18 and over 55. But it would be legal to only show the ads based on income level.
None of this is new, or really that hard to understand.

I heard it requires magnets for that to work.

So your hypothesis is that time is not measurable, you can only measure the presence of absence of time?
So like, 10 years and 5 years are the same?
Because of 10 years and 5 years are different, then your comment is full of shit.
The longest lifespans are in Japan.
The highest sodium consumption is in Japan.
In many other countries, the source of high consumption of sodium is processed foods.
Consumption of large percentages of diet from processed foods is understood to reduce lifespan.
I don't know why it isn't more obvious to people that sodium is a confounding variable, not a causal one.

Bollocks, it's just ignorance.
A typo is a manual error. You don't fat-finger an extra key some distance away from the rest.
Wow, the depth of ignorance in this statement is incredible. I'm awestruck.
Yes I hate paying taxes for this reason.
Do you mean specifically the part where you thought it was about you, or do you just mean, narcissism in general?
They also recognize when you meow in the same tone and pitch as they do. Posted as AC for obvious reasons.
Don't worry, your penis won't actually shrink if you stop being toxic and talk about something cute for 5 minutes.

Who cares? They still have to follow housing law.
And if they don't, who makes them? Any lawyer. So this gets enforced.
None of the blathering matters. None of that hand-wringing will be done by any of the people involved in the lawsuits.
Don't forget to include a comment with your comment next time.
And also, is the situation "on the internet" or "when spending money electronically?" Are those automatically the same thing?
We know you don't know, and don't have any thoughts, because you'd have included at least one thought in your comment.

Why do people take shared hosting over a VPS? Simply because the control panel is simpler to operate.
This isn't just wrong, it is dangerously stupid and ignorant.
I'm not sure the hairs you're splitting were quite wide enough to be split.
"But the AI did it" is not any sort of valid excuse for anything.
That's like shooting somebody and blaming the bullet.
No, we don't need to allow you to be racist if you make the right excuse.
Complete fail.
And yes, it is clearly not legal, as the lawyers have pointed out.
I do not think you successfully translated the word "creeper."
Bezos, come on, don't be a creeper.
the ads have to work in the way the person paying for the ad wants.
Thats the service and that is their money to spend.
