If you have an advantage that delays your death, but don't breed during the respite, then you are irrelevant to that aspect of evolution.
Not if you helped your kids in that time.

Any doubters should google about Clair Patterson, and failed attempts to bribe him to keep the public in the dark about environmental lead. He saved IQ points for all of us.
Arimaa might make an interesting turing test. Your sig made me think of captain Paul Watson of the Sea Shepard telling the story of the time he got a job testing the intelligence of a captive orca. The orca got all answers right immediately after training, then suddenly started getting them all wrong. Paul realized the Orca was testing him, too.
nothing I saw that indicates how much training the speech recognition needs.
Translators as a whole will never have enough training, since it's an art not perfected even by humans. When an idiom's literal translation is nonsense, the translator's job is about imperfect trade-offs.
Because they don't like the solution.

Weedon suspects the hackers were trained at Western investment banks, giving them the know-how to identify their targets and draft convincing phishing emails.
Nice strawman and ad-hominems. What I got out of the article was "So we see complicated dynamics when we allow the full range of payoffs to evolve,” Plotkin said. “One of the interesting results is that the Prisoner’s Dilemma game itself is unstable and is replaced by other games [stag-hunt & snowdrift]. It is as if evolution would like to avoid the [Prisoner's] dilemma altogether."
what is it that makes H. sapiens such a successful species?
Start with the book Guns, Germs, and Steel.

Oops *soldier. Anyway, John offers to work (40 hours a week?) for rent. Bob says ok. After they have an agreed upon deal going for a few days, Bob says "Our deal was 40 hours a week 'for rent' (he made air-quotes and smiled). You have not been paying for my food that you have been eating. It'll be 80 hours a week now, making goods and services for me. Or get off my island."
John's move.
It's a wiki. Do it better.
John is shipwrecked on a raft. He heads towards an island. He approaches, he sees coconuts and small animals, he knows he can make a life here. He also sees another man pulling his raft onto the beach.
John gets to the beach and meets Bob. Bob says he got to the island first and owns all the property. John says that's BS. Bob shows proof he was born there. John wasn't going to go along with that system when he thought Bob just washed up, and he's thinking about living on an island where he is going to be Bob's financial slave. Bob sees his hesitation, and says his ownership is backed by power: in this case, a fancy gun and a solder who washed up yesterday and agreed to work security to pay for his own room and board (half of it, anyway).
What should John do?
Food calorie content is commonly measured in a bomb calorimeter, using a energy-release process totally different from the human body, and in some cases giving very different values. For example, Olestra releases calories in a bomb calorimeter, but not in the body. Same with sawdust, or "microcrystalline cellulose" as the fast-food places call it.
BLISS is ignorance.
