i mean i get it, but there is a middle ground between "add 1.3582 grams of salt" and giving no numbers at all.

Funny thing is that MX Clears are unbearable to me as well. If anyone is interested in some specific silent switches, look into MX silent reds, silenced Topre, Gateron silent inks, Aliaz silents, Zilents, and Healios. There are sound tests

there are plenty of chinese social media platforms. weibo, qq, tieba, wechat, etc.

why do you think they went to civil war in the first place? I don't understand your point for drawing this distinction at all

The CCP and the Chinese culture believes in social harmony and the good of society over the good of the individual. You believe in personal liberties over all, and you have implicitly assumed this philosophy to be the universal moral standa

What? We already know that China treats HK differently from the mainland.. Look, you can call the Chinese govt many things, but stupid is not one of them.

an interesting point but such a quintessentially american mindset imo. This thing could potentially used wrong so let's build in all kinds of hedges and failsafes; our freedoms could be impinged in these edge cases so this is a no go,

So why does the media have to take on this burden because Tesla intentionally chose a misleading name? Why is it not Tesla's job to properly explain its own technology? You can't be telling me Tesla was not fully aware what "

The tone is honestly understandable. It pains me to bring up this cliched point, but is the US media not constantly telling us that China is hostile, China is plotting? As someone with a foot in both worlds, US coverage of China is _at leas

That is a great point. Would you agree that the _narrative_ is that Waymo has the superior tech right now? Or did I misjudge that? I suppose I used the wrong word. Any expert or well-informed opinion is what I was after.

contentious? Genuinely curious for a source here. everything ive ever seen says Waymo is far in the lead, though I dont work in this space.

this is bizarre to me. I don't really see how this move makes sense for the CCP. Maybe I just wanted to think that things have changed since 1989..

did you ask if they were wrong? or did you ask if they had a logical reason? Pretty sure it was the latter. do realize none of the people you are being so hostile to are defending these actions

but they were only valuable to the UK because it was their gateway to China. it has always been about the relationship to China

by bllguo 7y ago
could we address the implication here more critically? what logical reason is there for violence and bloodshed? it feels like us westerners are so prone to caricature the Chinese government as some kind of cartoonish villain. to me the CCP

would love to hear what about those quotes seem to suggest a deep understanding to you. They seem trite and vague to me.

but a big reason search is fantastic is because of the data the system has on us. I don't think you can separate the two.

the advertising model google relies on is just a reflection of how the attention economy and the internet work. I just don't see how this makes sense practically. People aren't going to seamlessly and happily go back to paying $$

unfortunately the cs231n notes are not complete w.r.t the course itself. But what does exist is quite nice indeed

I'm of the same mind, and have been surprised for a long time that this isn't commonly said. dplyr/tidyverse also suits my thinking process around working with data much better than pandas, which is by far the worst of the lo

Hm. I guess I just don't see China allowing that kind of relationship with an independent HK. HK is also so incredibly close to China geographically, economically, and even culturally that it's hard to wrap my mind around the conc

by bllguo 7y ago
HK used to flourish because it was the access point between China and the West. If they completely severed ties with China there is no value proposition anymore... what "higher highs" are you anticipating, exactly?

that article is way too vague for agreement/disagreement to be a productive point of discussion imo. is he talking about new optimization methods?

this is an interesting criticism. I would have characterized the Chinese leadership of having a much more long-term outlook than the vast majority of other countries.

yes? The initial implication was that the police were monitoring the private chat, whereas the second article suggests that the police only became aware after the message was circulated. Surely you can see that these two situations paint di

I can see how Tableau would be great if you are in a situation where you can have business guys creating their dashboards and exploring their data. The issue in practice is almost always getting the data in a workable state so that you can
