Ok so according to this you can't delete anything. What happens then if I want to delete something I posted previously? Is it free speech if I want to retract something posted by myself but I'm not able to do so? Is it really free

I don't have much experience but you can easily mess up both SQL and NoSQL. I recently picked up Datomic and honestly I'm not looking forward using SQL again for a while.

I don't think relativity, quantum theory, etc. Are low hanging fruits. Physics is super old and those discoveries are "recent" in comparison

Well science is hard, that's nothing new. It seems like it is assumed that a great scientific breakthrough is made overnight by seemingly one person, in reality it's the culmination on decades of previous research and observations

> As long as the theater is a complete metric space, we don't really care about its structure. I agree with that, but I fail to see how that means that traditional math studies primarily infinite countable structures.

I think that's kinda part of the article. They are not small business friendly as they claim.

I think they are on a better position since they are a non-profit and they don't have token sales afaik. But I can't really tell since I'm not familiar with american laws.

Of course they find a way, they have to. Doesn't mean it is easy. The vast majority of people don't even know about bitcoin or blockchian. But the use case is there and it is vastly superior to what western union and moneygram off

I still don't get why most of the recruiting process is left to the HR department. I get they objective is to minimize your distraction as a manager, but it's such an important part of building a good team and it feels that in man

For me it was unrealistic expectations. Tons of companies hire data scientists just because everyone else is doing it and/or they think somehow they'll make everything better just by being in the company. If you are lucky enough t

I founded my own company after I had a problem that solved from myself and thought I could actually scale it. Just starting tho.

As a former data scientist I feel we try solve problems the hard way because one of two reasons (maybe both): 1. To feel smart 2. To justify our paycheck Most of the time simple solutions like the one in the link will be more than enough bu

I'm more bothered by the people who believe "theory" is a synonym of hypothesis and dismiss some scientific fact because it's just a "theory"

A bit un related but this reminded me of a question I had some months ago: Let's say you train a bunch of ML models to solve a problem, these models are m_1, m_2,..., m_n and are ordered according to their performance on the tests&#x2F

They are the best at this point because they were the ones that created it so the impact of their words is way bigger. They might not be the best to talk about solutions tho, but I think the purpose of the movie is to make the problem known
