After reading these charges it sounds like less of a spy situation and more of an unfortunate past she was knew would conflict with her current goal of getting the F out of China. I'm pretty skeptical because like most cases involving

I spent a lot of energy and time studying applied ML in university. After competing in several contests I realized in most cases a simple linear equation threw shade on the whole carnival. Don't get me wrong there are amazing applicati

The comparison of cloud platforms truly is heavily distorted at a startup. Most companies aren't comparing AWS and MS in a vacuum when presented with the decision. How much of the world's software runs on dotnet? Windows, Office,

Stay at home orders are selective. Focused primarily on industries and jobs where minorities overwhelmingly find themselves. School closures favor children from households that can afford a computer for each child; requiring a parent to sta

This has bothered me for a long time and the fact it still drags on blows my mind. Predominantly white protesters in Portland misappropriated protests over racial inequality for their own disphoric amalgamation of social issues. There'

Covid reporting is rife with statistical murder for the sake of hyperbole. If someone paid attention to the first week of a statistics course they'd learn about sample bias, false causality, cherry picking, Simpson's paradox, etc.

Jokes on them, I never look at 5 or 1 star reviews. By convention I think rating systems are fundamentally flawed in that they are anything but a ubiquitous concept from person to person. Shit, I bet half of the hacker news crowd thinks any

Good point. A downturn in the urban center could very well mean a boon for other neighborhoods. I'm imagining a place like Arcata, Ca would become more desirable than living in the Bay Area for a professional, so they move. Sure, it me

The only thing the public wants is a scapegoat. An evil face to jeer at, some one or group of people to blame for a problem before moving onto the next hyperbolic issue. Otherwise perception of a problem is too diffuse, complicated, and nua

Does it not muddy the waters when an open source project is outright appropriated as a paid service?

What could go wrong from empowering biased corporations with the ability to control a national narrative of what constitutes misinformation and hyperbole? I'm noticing a wide spread lack of the ability to weigh the pros and cons of pol

I'm envisioning a world where Germany won the war and Facebook finds itself removing fringe content proclaiming the war was a horrific genocide and not the triumph of free society that the mainstream accepts as factual rationality. For

No kidding. This is going to be the first search result for, "PS5 teardown" after the release of the console. There's a lot of value in that when you think about what people would look for when they're considering buying

One of the first things mentioned was the reduced noise due to improved cooling. I think you're echoing the most common criticism of its predecessor.

So what is your take? In the same sentence you've both advocated and dissented on the issue of employers discriminating against resolved charges not pertaining to the job. Is that what you mean by, "no horse in this race"? ¯

So a low chances of being fired is better than a zero chance of being hired? If it isn't immediately pertinent to the applicant's ability to do the job, for example if a convicted sex offender were applying for a position as a chi

I also have a felony on my record and struggled immensely because of a long wrap sheet of misdemeanor crimes that seemed to cascade from that single mistake. My record has caused me to be fired from and denied several jobs, and at my lowest

It blows my mind how much of the internet economy is built on sucking up user data, some of which makes sense, but I'd imagine the majority of 3rd party tracker data is used for recommending ads. Ads a solid constituent of users ignore

Two days ago I heard a loud, "SQUEE! Bock bock bock bock." from our back yard. Two (Flicker) woodpeckers were fighting in the branches of a maple, our chickens standing around foot of the tree seemingly captivated by the spectacl

There's no end to enjoyable ways to waste your time when it comes to enjoyable games across time and genre, plenty of fish. Games media like all media loves hyperbole. Who cares about Caves of Qud if you can get MAD about a GIRL fighti

The company I work at follows that queue. Engineering might not build anything custom for new clients, since it's a software platform product, but Sales Engineers invest heavily into building turn-key solutions to their clients' p

Identifying a gap in our understanding of something can be as conversely significant as a given finding. I take umbrage with allowing reductionism to prevent consideration of other ideas where it fails to explain something. I know it's

Seems the point of the paper is an improvment upon a technique for computing a quaternion Julia from 2015. They found a way to compute the rendering algorithm for the mesh within the limits of 64 bit precision, enabling massively multi-thre
