This is not the case, strictly speaking. It instead results from people perceiving there to be a lower bar for diversity hires; whether or not it is rational to describe things in that manner based on empirical data or what not is ultimat

> Kanji are not commonly used for any of those words. Forgive me if it seemed as though I was talking about usage ratios; I was merely saying that it's not uncommon to see them written in the kanji stylized form; in the case of konp

You ears are likely deceiving you. The traditional explanation of the pronunciation rules, which widely appears in textbooks and Japanese pronunciation manuals, is absolutely correct, and also in line with what is normal for human language

Portuguese loanwords in Japanese are interesting because, unlike other Western word imports, a lot of them have been around long enough, and thoroughly integrated into the culture and writing system, that a number of them are assumed to be

I think you greatly underestimate two things: 1. The shear volume of non-film media, particularly shows directed at kids and pre-teens, that Disney controls 2. The ability of kids to literally watch the same thing over and over again

Those numbers mean nothing though unless, at a minimum, you're doing the same thing for other similar companies. For all we know, using the same methodology, one might find comparable numbers for other companies with, say, similar mark

Nice to hear from someone like you; my daughters are currently going along your same path with Japanese. Japanese is a second language to me, but our family has always been Japanese-only despite living in the states. It's honestly exha

You realize the world's birth rate has already been on the decline for decades, correct? And in general, the bulk of this occurred not because of coercion, but because of economic development and the ensuing shifts in optimum family st

This quiq seems to support the original posters thesis, though, no? No one's going to make a living wandering the streets in search of $20 bills.

It's Blizzard's right, but only insofar as that happens to be what copyright terms say right now. Also, something having intrinsic value to society at large outside of the ability of a private entity to benefit from ownership is,

I just graduated with a CS degree at 36; have an offer and will start soon. The age aspect is scary, but I've honestly found it less of an issue than I thought. The most difficult part is pushing past the part of me that says I'm

I feel it's important to detangle overbooking and involuntary debaording, here. With overbooking itself, up until the point that someone is bumped against their will, the practice is purely a win-win for all; airlines save costs -- a b

> If it makes money, it's good Pretty much the broken window fallacy on a societal level, perpetuated by a system that commonly grants political influence on a per dollar, rather than per capita, basis.

Re: Japan, I'd be curious how apples-to-apples that comparison is; I read the linked article, but it wasn't entirely clear. At any rate, it seems like NIMBYism would be relatively easier to combat in Japan given that it's gen

Is it truly possible to have a solid understanding of the interface and its use, though, without having a reasonable insight into, at least, the likely implementation of something?

If there's an "AI effect" surely its inverse also exists; it seems to me that every time there is a [relatively] major advancement, a similar chorus of supporters pop up to tell us how we're so close to solving every AI

Seriously... the hallmark of all the linear algebra classes I had was the instructor completely failing to demonstrate the various concepts in visual terms. And that's pretty unforgivable, since linear algebra feels like one of those s

We've had the pleasure of having Paul as a sponsor for our senior project, a sample-based midi synthesizer, running on, at least, the Teensy 3.2 and 3.6; we got free hardware for development, and he's been quite supportive, despit

The phasing was chosen to be provocative and attention grabbing (because, yeah, duh). The content of the point, however, is about avoiding undefined behavior, period, and not just lazily assuming "it works" means "it will alw

Counterpoint: this article ( https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/5a12/80f783e4ce6ba31b821f4d... )... TL;DR: Experts have a poor track record for predicting AI development, they aren't particularly qualitatively differe

The issue is if you're translating from a language that doesn't explicitly encode that information into a language that requires it; you need some way of filling in the blanks. This is all well and great when that information can
