he's a bit coy cos he invests in said atm company. he's a corporate type, so innately untrustworthy, but I find him less untrustworthy than any fanboi bcasher

*sigh* no. IQ tests are simply pattern recognition. There is nothing cultural about it.

Pattern recognition has nothing cultural about it? I disagree. Try a "spot the pattern" competition in the Amazon forest against a local. Yes, you can use your calculator if needed (hint: it won't be).

This kind of pattern.

Not "spot the snake in the tree", not "which of these four hats is not like the other", just a few simple lines.

What if I told you it's satoshi in that car?
Everyone would say 'huh cool'

What if I told you it's Craig Wright the fraudulent satoshi beloved of bcashers?

Im bearish because of futures expiry in 5 days on 14 Feb. Something to keep in mind.

How do you know and why does that make a difference?

(snip)
How hard were they trying though? I recall reading a paper from one of the Ivy League universities that concluded that perfect pitch could not be learned in adulthood. And the argumentation, as well as the experiment itself, was lackluster to say the least.

Really hard. As in everything that can possibly be done within legal and ethical means. This is study time on google if that's not enough.

Perfect pitch appears to be dependent on both a genetic trait and a development window. Nature and nurture. The genetic trait is probably present in something like 20% of the population. The window of opportunity for actually having perfect pitch during adulthood roughly coincides with the window for native language learning.

Native speakers of tone languages (Chinese language/dialects, Thai etc) have a higher than average percentage of adults with perfect pitch. This is probably due to children being exposed to more-or-less fixed pitch sillables while that part of the brain is developing.

There are several studies that come to similar conclusions. I've read a few (say, at least a couple). I can't be bothered to look them up, but big G can help.

Yeah, early development is important for all sorts of things. Thing is, we lived in tribes for millions of years and that's the environment we are evolved for. Modern life is completely different, which makes it likely that we are doing things to our kids that are harmful to them. That's why it's so important to study these things. And not just for kids, but for all of us.

I've actually been thinking on and off about what I could do if I ever had kids during their infant periods. I don't buy that there's no development taking place just because they can't recall any memories. They don't know language, so at the very least there's a viable chance that infant memories get triggered by nonverbal cues that become irrelevant as one grows older. I'm quite curious as to whether or not one could instill synesthesia in a child by playing a pitch and associating it with a colour in some way.

I'm also not convinced that languages can only be picked up in childhood at a native level, at least not unequivocally.
I have a heavy accent whenever I don't speak English for a while, but given enough time I manage to fool natives. And I've also managed to memorize a single pitch that I can recall at will without reference, which is an experiment that I'd like to return to some day to see if I can get that up to a level where I could write down music as I hear it. It's time consuming and tedious as hell, but it seems possible to me.

Simply being there is the biggest thing you can do at that stage. Fathers emit pheromones that likely has a positive influence on their development. That and make sure the mother is as relaxed and happy as reasonably possible.

A tribe is essentially one big family. It is a place of safety and protection from the outside world. Emulating that in the form of a traditional family seems like a good move.

The bolded part: That is the hard part Cheesy

What an epic opportunity lost to send a Bitcoin paperwallet beyond Mars inside the Tesla's glove box compartment.

You will never know!!!

(pardon... "we" ) Roll Eyes

But it would be way better if we knew the public address to send our gifts to future potential alien civilisations.... oh, what a great scam idea have I just had... Maybe even ICO potential

Imagine all the future people racing their spacecrafts into space Teslas to try and find a private key that is not there.

Not need to think that far in time... Just imagine the shock when I go and redeem the private key myself.

P.S.: The picture itself has great Bitcoin potential... maybe one of the resident photoshop wizards could stamp a nice Bitcoin logo on the hood and pretend it is Satoshi driving it?

It would be way more fun to redeem it after the first people try to get the key themselves though. Sad

Really interesting pattern on #Bitcoin. Every time the MFI gets full oversold it pumps between a 30-40% in the next days. $BTC $BTCUSD
