If you had framed this as being about personal ethics and morals, it would have been much easier to agree with. Maybe even admirable. Describing it as some kind of irrational hate just sounds silly.

I'm sure I was told, but I don't think it was strongly emphasized by my instructors. It comes pretty late in Strang's text, for instance.

But it blurs the distinction and it normalizes thinking about the Chinese people and the Chinese gov't in similar ways. Honestly I think it's irresponsible and naive - let's not pretend there isn't a rising undercurrent

yes - great points! Now that I've gotten into the routine of using Anki, I basically end up taking notes in it. I'll cram a whole lecture in a card. I can always figure out how to split it up properly into multiple cards after a f

To me it feels like everything about OpenAI's media strategy is calculated and specifically designed to maximize good PR with the public. It leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

Could we get some sources for this theory? I'm definitely no military expert but having read it, I don't really see how it encourages a more predictable and exploitable style of warfare. Plus the fact that people read and praise i

The best solution people can come up with in the 21st century is certainly not a primitive giant wall, which would maybe have been state-of-the-art in the 1400s. I find it very disingenuous to suggest it's either a wall or no security

Or maybe we can take the current approach and leave a sensible default for the people who aren't savvy enough? And people like you and I can just toggle the option?

I mean it literally just means 'relationship.' It's just that networking is even more important in China where there are so many people competing for resources, where the bureaucracy and the systems are more corrupt, and wher

Yeah my bet is definitely that rural is aggregated into that, if the stat is true. In the cities nobody uses paper money.

Well yes, the business has the right to do what it did, of course. Really no way to knock it other than saying "I don't like that kind of store." However, there are other shops that actively cultivate the kind of culture you

this is fantastic, thanks. I can definitely attest that Chinese people are very proud of the difficulty of their language. One possible factor that isn't mentioned: I believe that culturally, the Chinese value learning and education mo

I certainly did not expect you to have built a project around quantifying repo quality. Interesting. Wonder if there are cross-cultural differences in starring/issue-opening frequencies, since the assumption here is that there are none

yeah in terms of the merits in actual combat, MMA has been proven superior. I read OP to be referring more to the values, lifestyle, discipline, etc. espoused by those ancient traditions, though. Now I'm not sure if that was OP's

You have to spend time to build your mathematical foundations. You have to get familiar with it through problems and exercises. I don't think there are shortcuts. If you don't have the foundations it's wasteful to spend time

The point is literally in the title. The health benefits are overrated. That's not a judgment on you for using them. If they benefit you that's great. I don't understand how any of this is a problem and why you take this so p

Absolutely not? Strong opinion. Care to justify it? I'd be surprised if anyone was convinced by what you've written so far.

If the speculation is correct that these features are manually added, I don't see how that's remotely possible within a year. of course, simply extrapolating the current rate of progress gives a similarly dismal outlook.

in mine, fees used to be around there. I was comfortable with the 2.49 or lower fees. Around 1 month ago they raised delivery fees by ~$2-$3 across the board.

an absurd strawman. To you there's no way to increase representation from more populous states without letting decisions be dominated by CA and NY? Can we argue in good faith here? Pretty sure the rest of the country depends on states

This is anecdotal of course, but I can't think of a single game that behaves like this, and my library is pretty sizable. Would be interested in an example. I also cannot see the justification on a technical level for why this behavior

I did some brief work in a hedge fund on special situations, which I think is just a synonym for event-driven? It's been awhile and I'm no longer in finance, wonder if any experts have insight to share here.
