Yeah, Hangul is pretty easy to learn. The sounds were a little trickier for me. Grammar is basically the same as Japanese.

I believe Duolingo released their intro course for Korean recently too if anyone wants to learn some basics.

I think it's pretty well accepted that Men better at physical activities almost across the board. I don't think that's what the original point was about though.

The original question was asking for an example of a "genetically talented that they didn’t train" losing to someone who was a "pro" and this is clearly not an example of it.

That said, I'm not trying to make the argument that there aren't 'genetic' limits.

Pretty bad example. Dude was a semi-retired PROFESSIONAL tennis player. Who had been ranked as high as 38th in the world.

He obviously had a fuck ton of training, was just 'retired' when he played the game.

With a whole bunch of Star trek voice acting!

Yeah, used to live in Japan and it was quite annoying.

The 'building number' having no relation to location is fairly useless. I generally had to explain through landmarks/obvious buildings where I wanted to go.

The whole system is pretty useless for giving directions.

It's better now with Smart phones (wasn't a thing when I first moved there), but still bad. Korea uses the same system afaik.

It should happen right away I believe. As soon as the next block after the 2016th is accepted, the difficulty updates.

The transaction rate would only be affected for a max of two weeks as I understand it. As for how the 'market' would react if all Chinese miners dropped out, I have no idea :)

I think what he means is, when bitcoin / cash split, everyone 'doubled' their coins. Since they share the same previous blockchain, after they 'split' in effect you have two coins for every one coin you had before the split. You can spend your Bitcoin cash, while you still own the same coin in Bitcoin.

No.

Bitcoin algorithm automatically adjusts every 2016 blocks, to make the average block time 10 minutes. If the number of miners drops, the algorithm will adjust the difficulty of finding a 'good' hash. Meaning as an individual miner you have a better chance of finding the correct hash, but the overall network has the same rate.

There was an article I read a while ago on this subject that was pretty interesting:

Yeah, I see this sentiment flowing around very often and I agree with you on this.

I prefer to think of it this way: The ability to rise above this type of thing is a part of what makes us human. Learning to not be bigot is something you have to do. You have to work at it always, it's not free.

Like when people say to IT: "Everything's working, what am I playing you for?!"

I'm conflicted on upvoting this comment, because if I do I'm just part of the problem right?

Seems pretty neat so far.

Only imperial units though :(

George Carlin had a good bit on this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdVE-efyv2c

Ditto for Korea. In the 80/90's they were the cheap Japanese knock offs for tech stuff like TVs etc.
