First it was Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates, who got the Internet all fired up when he answered questions in a Reddit AskMeAnything thread. I am in the camp that is concerned about super intelligence, Gates wrote in response to a question about the existential threat posed by artificial intelligence (AI).

A normal heart rate is between 60-100 beats per minute at rest (sitting, relaxing, etc.). It is well-known that the average resting heart rate for well-trained athletes is 40-60 beats per minute! However, this rate can change dramatically while sleeping or with daily activity and exercise.
What is a Normal Heart Rate or Resting Heart Rate? There are three general ways to classify heart rate, 1) normal, 2) fast and 3) slow. A resting heart rate is normal between 60-100 beats per minute. A resting heart rate is fast (i.e. tachycardic) at greater than 100 beats per minute. A resting heart rate is slow (i.e. bradycardic) at less than 60 beats per minute.
