As far as imprecise journalism (let alone blatant inaccuracy goes) this is pretty inoffensive IMHO. It’s not even that far off. Algorithms can be composed. When we publish a paper on a complete ML application, the whole thing is generally r

This is not always fair but saying “500mg of acetaminophen” is more likely to get you labeled a kook or someone with illness anxiety disorder, at best someone trying too hard, rather than a pro. Doctors in the US say Tylenol.. like most bra

Unless you source high quality LED luminaires, they look terrible let alone flicker... most of the shit on amazon is just that unfortunately.

Yes. Though they are not eye doctors in any meaningful sense of the word. It requires a pretty straightforward certification while the other two require years of post graduate training.

There are also ophthalmologists. That requires at least 8 years of post undergraduate training in the US. 3 years which is surgical residency.

there is an option though: accept what you’re calling technical debt (though honestly, calling vendor lock-in technical debt reduces that term to meaningless in my opinion)... there’s nothing technically wrong with it.. you can create some

Are you actually familiar with the drawing model of core X?? It is completely obsolete and does not support acceleration of virtually any 2D or 3D rendering construct we take for granted for the past 30 years. The GP was suggesting “without

In some countries. It depends on the country. Personally I prefer having custody of my bag through customs. Even in the US, most airports allow you to redeposit your bags without leaving the customs area. You’re taking a few examples (try

It’s airport specific. Not every airport in the US operates this way. JFK may require a complete terminal change. You do not have to do this at most US airports. New York City and Newark in particular is a special case of bullshit.. I avoid

These calculators are highly misleading. You absolutely can live comfortably and squirrel away much more cash at 400k anywhere in the US vs 150k. I’ve lived this experience between “low” COL and high areas.

That’s a bold claim. He lost a fortune that would have made him a billionaire and possibly one of the 100 richest people in the world. He is still a very, very wealthy man.

Filing a joint return in the US in no way implies financial unity. It just means your income is pooled for tax calculation purposes, that’s it (and only federal, you can often file separately in the same or different states). There are comm

So a couple guys in the top .1% net worth (outliers by any measure) don’t think their spouses were treated fairly by a credit check. It must be systemic discrimination. Also NYS is not a community property state, as DHH claimed, so he is fu

More murders are committed by males. Does that make the simple verb “murder” inherently gendered? Is that your claim? because that’s the only possible relevance your odd personal testimony seems to be implying.

And it sounds like the person you’re responding to is countering this very premise. “They don't want their ad dollars to be spent paying publishers for content that's controversial because it makes them look bad.”

Everyone has heard of Lyft though, and in larger markets Juno. If Uber management is truly banking on brand loyalty of all things, especially based on their behavior, they are idiots. Nobody trusts Uber. If Waymo arrives with a more cost ef
