Banks are so protected from liability they would have to really do something that was their mistake in order for them to be liable for it. Banks don't look at signatures. They're processing millions of checks and they have very little liability.
Brains distinguish between an Us and a Them in a fraction of a second. Subliminal processing of a Them activates the amygdala and insular cortex, brain regions that are all about fear, anxiety, aggression, and disgust.
An individual's ability to draw is. . . the ability to shift to a different-from-ordinary way of processing visual information - to shift from verbal, analytic processing to spatial, global processing.
The processing capacity of the conscious mind has been estimated at 120 bits per second.
I had popcorn all over the place, so I decided I might as well be in the Processing Business.
The most powerful political voices are those with a different way of seeing and processing the world and the sounds that emanate from it.
Part of you just has to be in service of processing things and getting them out.

We should all grow our own food and do our own waste processing, we really should.
A basic principle of data processing teaches the folly of trying to maintain independent files in synchonism.
The biggest breakthrough in the next 50 years will be the discovery of extraterrestrial life. We have been searching for it for 50 years and found nothing. That proves life is rarer than we hoped, but does not prove that the universe is lifeless. We are only now developing the tools to make our searches efficient and far-reaching, as optical and radio detection and data processing move forward.
I also do my own processing, so it means a big commitment in lab time.
Bitumen is junk energy. A joule, or unit of energy, invested in extracting and processing bitumen returns only four to six joules in the form of crude oil. In contrast, conventional oil production in North America returns about 15 joules. Because almost all of the input energy in tar sands production comes from fossil fuels, the process generates significantly more carbon dioxide than conventional oil production.
I think that kids have a greater capacity for processing things than we give them credit for.
