Is your point that it's hard to take in all of that in one go? Because I think that might be his point too.

In many countries including mine, it is the state that pays into drugs companies anyway.

I suggest that you google for papers about the application of AI or machine learning to (your chosen area of) healthcare. You are likely to find many already somewhat understandable to you, since authors who want to be read by medics will w

What marks my biggest failure as my biggest failure is that there is absolutely nothing to be learned from it.

I think the theory is it's easier to get into rows on social media and harder to back down. Without the context I'd say it sounds plausible, but since it's from Plod it would be surprising if it were true.

Surely every dollar, physical or not, can be said to be 'backed' by the assets of the issuing institution? Assets that are most likely government or corporate or mortgage debt, implying a stake in real state apparatus, business or

I was not warned that the entire second half of the film, about an art project, would be considered off-topic.

Please no more downvotes by people who clearly haven't watched this film all the way through, or who somehow avoided ever seeing Justin Bieber's.

This precedes Justin Bieber's video for "Where Are Ü Now" by a couple of years.

I am not using 'ball' to describe a neighbourhood, you are using 'neighbourhood' to describe a ball! From your own link: In a metric space M=(X,d), a set V is a neighbourhood of a point p if there exists an open ball wit

> 1. A neighborhood of a point p in a Euclidean space is the set of all q such that d(p, q) < r, where r is some radius greater than 0. Isn't that what mathematicians call a ball rather than a neighbourhood? A name which rather

It's more useful to those designing the game than to those playing it. Auction sites, financial regulators, traffic planners...

On what basis are you calling this assertion "clearly not true"?

This comment gets closest to the heart of things. Such costs can only be imposed by the state, but the state has limited power/desire to do so.

I've heard Bob May say the thing to do is to start off thinking about the problem yourself to see how far you can get before doing the reading. But the reading has to be done.

You might do all this stuff---exercise, socialise, work---and not begin to approach the root of the problem. I'm suspicious of the article's conclusion for the same reason. Exercise might distract, and might postpone the onset of

A "preferential attachment" process can model this effect more simply.

Thanks! My problem is based on a straightforward constant-coefficient diffusion-advection equation, but there are complicated boundaries and I'd like it to work in six or seven dimensions (given time and a big computer!). I have read

This seems to be all about ODEs. Has anyone got any recommendation for a good PDE solver? One that might run a problem having more than three spatial dimensions? (and ideally callable from Python)

OK if that's as much sense as an anti-pedant can make, I'm gonna side with the pedants.

Adopting this scheme might really lead to improved code quality.
