Great job! Personally, I prefer the PDF versions, but this could be very useful on a phone.

Yes, I am old enough to remember, and I think you are reading more into my post than was there. I am not claiming 1995-2015 was unique in the fundamental factors (we are all riding the exponential curve here), simply that the confluence of

Well, the argument that 1995 through 2015 was a cycle completely different from whatever the next one will be, is not without merit. I mean, it is easy to forget, but many, many things had to come together at one time in order for this to p

That was a quarter of a century ago. Maybe you should let go?

You realize that the justification for the action and the reason behind it need not be the same thing, right? The fact that they are citing a law that was, nearly 100 years ago, concerned with employment, doesn’t mean that is why they are d

This has nothing to do with this US employment. This is a trade 'war'. The issue is dumping, subsidies, and foreign competition. Whether the plane is temporarily assembled in the US or not is irrelevant.

You isn't a game you can "hack" with a clever trick. Even if it got around a law (which it doesn't), Congress would just write a new one. This doesn't change anything.

As you implied, getting to the bottom of the ocean is about as difficult as getting to the moon, and involves many of the same challenges.

How do you think they do the surveys in the first place? ;) They use nets.

I think you massively overestimate the costs of ER care for the uninsured that do not pay their bills. Charity costs are around 2.3% of operating expenses for your average non-profit hospital. 2.3% loss is not how you end up with bills that

I believe the fees like 'holding a baby' are a result of them determining an overall cost to charge you, average, per hour, then itemizing it out for legal or tracking reasons. So you weren't being charged $40 to hold the bab

They were dragging it perpendicular across the front of the ship, so, the wire is like a hand waving "this way, follow the line", which was pointed towards the location of the guy. It is not a standard or anything, so abnormal eno

Alright, I'll bite, _how much_ do they regulate the carbon cycle?

No, they believe in using government money to invest/bribe overseas to build up a market for mid level Chinese goods. This is how they plan on moving up the goods ladder.

There is little difference in most cases between a futurist and a doomsday prophet. It is a thin veneer of science around what is essentially a religious troubodour.

Perhaps the agent was acting as an Arab while at the conference, and was obviously not Persian? Perhaps the Iranian had relatives who were Arab? Maybe the agent acted like the guy was Arab when they first bumped into each-other, to throw of

Do we even have a good definition of what it means to generalize? I keep seeing this term thrown about and while it makes intuitive sense, and certainly train/test/validation splits are useful, I sort of question the whole premise

Windows 8 is a case study in first impressions and how much people hate change. It is superior to 7 in nearly all regards (the app/store infrastructure being a notable exception), and its UI is nearly identical to 7. But people couldn&

When Skinner and his colleagues looked at sperm of the offspring, they found epimutations, or alterations in the methyl groups that stick to DNA and affect its activation. “Observations indicate that although atrazine does not promote di

6 months for v.4, then 1 year. Which is still absurdly short. That's not even long enough for sane, normal versioning (e.g. Python 2.6 through 2.6.9 was like 5+ years). These people are crazy.

Titan X Pascal isn't too far off a 1080 Ti, which implies in about 2-3 years this will be possible in the new budget cards (the xx60 and xx70 lines).

Even 60,000 GPU years sounds well within the capabilities of a large nation-state. Expensive, probably not worth it, probably better ways, maybe not practical, but certainly possible.

You could say that about practically anything.

The generator is passed random noise from a distribution, so iterating through all the samples is the same as just sampling from that distribution a ton. If your noise is uniform on [0, 1], then, sure, you could just iterate through every p

Who wants to get 3/4 of the way through the construction and admit your brand new building isn't big enough? Easier to just shove everyone in. Apple is usually a smart company, but it is always a large company, and large companies

Might help if you made the actual PDF more prominent. It took me a few minutes just to figure out where, you know, the book actually was. Change the README.md or move the child tex/pdf/etc. into into sub-dirs or something.

"if understood within their sociocultural context" is akin to saying "if you agree with all of our assumptions". It's a bullshit, vapid argument no matter how you use it, and the students should be embarrassed to

ML is far too broad a category. Like I said, it will depend on the problem/function.
