okay? so what's the rebuttal if I, someone who has also played dota for over a decade, say it _is_ important? the game is balanced around the entire roster. in a pool of 17 heroes, the answers to the locally optimal strategy likely don

I think a blood test can answer these questions, at least to some degree. My doctor had me undergo a blood test at my physical and it exposed my lack of vitamin B12

funny that you say this as we are witnessing an uptick in anti-Asian hate crimes. you can't seriously think that nobody conflates the two? and people in the West assuming they know best is as much of a problem as anything else. you&#x2

the arrogance here is beyond shocking. go gauge an average Taiwanese citizen's interest in your offer, you might be in for a nasty surprise.

There are a lot of "should"s in the world. People should not feel entitled to something they use extensively but do not pay for, yet here we are.

this just seems self-centered. why do we expect access to everything on the internet for free? captchas are hardly a significant price..

yes, the terminology is getting distorted too much. monopolies are not illegal. the problem is if they are maintained by anticompetitive behavior

don't know about putting a number on things, but imo it boils down to how easy it is to maintain a shared identity and purpose. In general I think it's a universal truth that things are fundamentally and nonlinearly more difficult

Can you substantiate this claim? Or is this just "I know someone who was arrested, it had to be the keyboard"?

is this rhetorical? Clearly because Westerners don't care about Myanmar but do care about the US; there's nothing more to it

"not a great choice"? Why? Because it makes us uncomfortable? I think this is an interesting comparison that people are too willing to gloss over.

Westerners bring up this lack of overt government control as some kind of end-all, be-all argument. Realistically it doesn't matter, practically speaking. The bias is there regardless. Didn't stop people reporting about WMDs in

seriously - it's been _years_, it should only be easier to get to pebble's level (if not surpass it) anecdotally, in my life I've seen maybe enough apple watches to count on one hand? and a few fitbits. That's it. A far

this is disingenuous, the scale is incomparable. why is india behind china then, if all it took was time?

tidyverts and fable are very nice, though I'd also be interested in seeing what others have to say, as I don't do much timeseries analysis. Prophet pretty much covers all my use cases thus far

Don't think I agree with the unstated assumption here that debating chops and ability to improvise are endemic of high intelligence.

while this sounds good on the surface, i think memorization is much more important than you give it credit. imo you absolutely should have key concepts memorized if you have any real understanding of a subject. and as you become more of a s

help me understand this attitude. unless I'm an enormous customer why do I deserve replies "prepared to move heaven and earth" in the first place? I guess it seems like naivete to me

Because in terms of potential benefit to society, this is orders of magnitude more efficient than giving artists a few more bucks. I don't even agree that they deserve it. The aggregate musical output is valuable, sure, but individuall

swift for tensorflow is dead, and even if it weren't it hardly makes the language compelling for ml. Machine learning != deep learning, and pytorch is in the lead in deep learning anyway. the alternative to python is julia

it feels like the scopes of our government agencies are overly broad. why exactly does the CIA need to do research and invent things _itself_? so what exactly are groups like DARPA or the NSA for?
