I think the "can communicate with poor vision" is the most important as its dark in about 50% of the day when sign language doesn't really work. Not to mention that you first need to call the other's attention to start communicating with signs, possibly by making some sort of sound so they look at you. The second most important benefit is (IMHO) that you can speak while you are focusing on something, e.g. waiting for the prey to come closer while everyone holds their weapons.

Will we ever be able to scan the wiring of this spider's neurons and "run it" on a computer? That would be amazing, I think. Then we could create virtual worlds for these virtual spiders and let them evolve, supposedly much faster than "normal" evolution.

I thought I have an intermediate level C knowledge, but I have no idea what is happening in the vulnerable line:

    *(v3 + 0x8)(*(VOID **)v3, &dword_AD002290, CommunicationBuffer + 0x18);
As I understand it is (was) an example code from Intel. Example codes should be easy to understand and well documented.

Assuming DNA matching has 99% certainity. Are you saying if I get DNA samples from 57 different people and match each of the 57 samples in all possible combination of pairs (so 57*56 tests), then there is 99% chance that I'll find 2 samples which will match? Someone should do this experiment. I think it's very scary if this is true.

I don't drink coffee at all. I eat a vegetarian sandwich every morning when I go to work, it gives me a good start for the day, I feel sharp and focused all morning. Sometimes when the sandwich shop is closed I buy something like a chicken sandwich, and that makes me more sleepy and tired.

Lunch is usually a big pile of rice with some vegetables and meat. Wow, this makes it reeeally hard to stay awake at the afternoon, but there aren't many options for lunch near the workplace.

For dinner, my wife cooks something also usually rice with some meat and veggies. But about 1 hour before I plan to go to sleep I eat 1 or 2 bananas. I always had hard time sleeping, and I read that bananas are good for sleeping because it contains potassium. For me it works. Although this might be completely placebo, because bananas don't work for my wife.

Probably I'm biased because I had a dengue fever infection a few years ago, but I don't understand the commenters here. Humanity as a whole burns millions of tonnes of coal, manufacturing millions of tonnes of products which are just thrown away, releasing who knows what chemicals into the rivers and oceans, not to mention the radioactive waste. And seriously you are worried about killing mosquitos?

Thanks. I use Avast Anti-Virus. I didn't know they are doing man-in-the-middle. But as I learned, this is quite common for modern antivirus softwares, so I turned off this option in Avast.
