What makes you think taking medicine for depression could potentially lead to brain damage?

I said A. You tried to divert to B. I quoted part of B to point out that wasn't the topic. You said the topic had changed to B "long ago". You see how that's wild right?

Is this a GPT response? I'm responding to a comment responding to me. There is no branch.

Context? Although, I suppose that isn't an entity with agency, so "whom" feels like the wrong word.

It's generally bad to brag about committing a crime, and generally ok to brag about stopping a crime. It makes sense Russia wouldn't be talking much about what they're doing.

If that were the definition, then Russia is at war with nearly the entire developed world. Doesn't seem like they're doing a very good job of things. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_foreign_aid_to_Ukrai

The line the Russian trolls tend to expose is "Taunting Russia risks all of our lives", then they proceed to explain how not giving Russia everything it wants is taunting. This person has likely fallen for the propaganda they push

The premise of this thread is: > Something is wrong with the economy, not just in the UK, but in America and probably a bunch of other countries. Where is the prosperity, if its there, why is it not more widely shared? is it a single cau

They don't, I'm trying to get a comparable number. "profit sharing" is too vague a term to compare two groups (across time or geography) with any credibility. If we are going to compare on an axis, we need to first have

I'd like to know why there is a difference in the final loss at all. If the two networks had the same architecture, used the same loss function, and had random uniform initialization, then 1000 epochs should have them converging on ver

So corporations doing share buybacks and dividends? Something else? Is there a real number you're looking at in order to do a comparison, or just labeling some vague idea?

by BobbyJo 4y ago
Havea source on that? I hadn't heard that before and am interested in what that looked like.

How would you define "shared prosperity" then? How would we compare it to some other time or place?

This is the first time I think Lex may regret his guest. Kanye is both hard to follow with extremely fragmented trains of thought, and incredibly offensive.

The rate of new production is an upper limit on plastic pollution. Produce less and there is less to leak out into the environment. If you're still using the plastic, then it's not currently degrading in the ocean.

I mean, if the route makes sense for you, it's there right now, and if you want to and are able to get into a bigger school without that, why not do that instead? Is there a benefit from forcing all students to funnel through a CC? It

Doing well in college is a great measure of how well you'll do in college, and subsequently, many good schools will accept mid degree transfers of undergraduate students who might not have done well in high school. I don't think i

What are A and B in this scenario? Schools not giving 4th graders recess means they don't have time to study in 10th grade? Parents not reading to their kids means those kids have less time for self directed study? Again, vague disagre

? Very often barriers aren't even primarily a question of money/time/effort -- they're simply a question of awareness that an option even exists or that it matters. 100% agree, and this was an experience I had as well co

Second this. I didn't have the money for required uniforms, and no health insurance, so sports/band/several other potential ways I could look good on a college app, were basically off the table for me.

by BobbyJo 4y ago
Again, I'm not saying my experience is universal, just common among myself and my poor friends and cousins. Time seems to me to be the most equitably distributed resource, but I'd love a counter argument that was more than vague

by BobbyJo 4y ago
As someone who grew up super poor, time tends to be one of the only things poor kids have as much of as rich kids. Is that universal? Of course not, but name something better.

The greatest source of admissions inequity is childhood socioeconomic status. Dropping the SAT is so obviously not a fix for that I question the competency of the administrators who thought doing so was a good idea. The SAT is probably the

I think parents point was that being 18 doesn't demonstrate said capacity either. Some kids are mature enough to make important decisions at 15, some kids can't make a good decision if their life depends on it at 25, so the blanke

Depends on your situation. For example, I bought a house and my mortgage+insurance+repair amortization is less than I'd pay for renting a similar sized apartment or home. I had to lock up 30k in my down payment, but I'm saving $50
