Is it a personal choice though? If in the morning I decide between wearing a blue shirt or a red shirt, that's arguably a matter of personal choice, but deciding to believe in God is as much a 'personal choice' as deciding to

To be fair, the Olympic weightlifting movements in their current form are pretty leg-dominant. In the past when there was a third event, the clean-and-press [1,2], athletes needed a lot more upper body strength. [1] https://www.y

> (BMI takes height into account) Does it do that correctly though? I've always wondered why the formula is not w / h^3, since I imagine your weight should scale cubicly with your height.

IMO the key takeaway from GTD is that you need to write things down in some sort of anything-goes inbox, so that they don't bounce around in your head. What kind of sorting/tracking mechanism you use after that is less important.

I understand the sentiment but there is a difference between ghosting the during recruiting process and ghosting after committing to the job.

Another example is that in Dutch, the bigram 'ij' is considered a single letter, and so at the beginning of a word, both have to be uppercased. See for example the Dutch Wikipedia page for Iceland: https://nl.wikipedia.

> Our top tax rate (45%) kicks in at extremely low levels of income compared to globally ($180,000 AUD which is around $135,000 USD). Huh? That's not that low. In the Netherlands the highest bracket, 49.5%, kicks in at ~€68k EUR (~$

Surely you can do some basic filtering by checking if the ratio vowels :: consonants is not too large? Or if there are five consonants in a row or something.

I see -- thank you for clarifying. So for a formally uniform distribution, is rejection sampling your only option ?

I'm a bit confused about this method. So the standard argument against such a procedure is that if you generate N random bits, each of {0,1}^N bitstrings is equiprobable and therefore no mapping of {0,1}^N to {0..U-1} can map an equal

People's political views are generally interwoven with their notion of morality and in the case of the religious, that morality is informed by their religion. The idea that you can separate religion and politics is misguided at best.

I'm curious if this genetic diversity is just something that shows up as a number on a computer, or does it translate into something phenotypically* visible? Also, how much of, say, our medical/biological knowledge actually only a

Multiplicative weights, like mirror descent, is a special case of a more general algorithm called mirror descent. You can indeed view it as optimizing an \ell_\infty norm, though I think the mirror descent perspective is more insightful. I

Not exactly -- multiplicative weights is a special case of mirror descent (as is gradient descent). It arises doing prox-steps on the simplex using the negative entropy as a regularizer (rather than the usual Euclidian distance, as is the c

I don't see how this is much different from kids in earlier generations wanting to become footballers, actors and djs.

I feel like the satanism should give it more appeal, not less. The satanism in metal came from an anti-authoritarian place, and now that the west has become less Christian, metal has become noticeably less satanist. In particular I've
