It is worth noting that streets were dangerous even before cars. For instance, Pierre Curie (Nobel prize and husband of Marie Curie) was killed by a horse-powered truck in the streets of Paris in 1906. He was 46. But pedestrians at that tim

Galileo was sentenced to house arrest, for disobeying a direct order from the pope to tell geocentrism and heliocentrism were both possible. This was actually the best scientific conclusion at that time until Foucault proved that the Earth

It seems to me that, without the pro-rata term, a founder could forcefully dilute an early investor by selling newly issued stocks at a low price to himself or his friends. Am I missing something?

I guess it is easy to dismiss the message from ordinary people, since they do not express themselves as well as the professional speakers we are used to listen to. If instead of saying "I want a haircut.", they would say like Benj

Since this 13th of February, the Koreans recommend the use of hydrochloroquine for patients infected by the covid-19 [1]. The Covid-19 fatality ratio in Korea is one of the lowest in the world, around 1%. The study in France showing a spect

The hard part is to do 10K tests per day like the South Koreans did to successfully contain the spread of covid-19 (or 60K tests per day since the USA have 6 times the Korean population). This would include gathering saliva samples and brin

Is anyone here aware of some research trying to quantify the death toll of such a large-scale quarantine? For instance, closing universities could result many years later in ill-trained doctors and then bad diagnostics. The economic downfal

I love the following Feynman's quote: ``In those days, one of the theories proposed was that the planets went around because behind them were invisible angels, beating their wings and driving the planets forward. You will see that this

I have also used an LG gram for 5+ years. The touchpad is just normal. Maybe, you say that it feels cheap because it bends a little bit when you press it. I guess that is the price to pay to have a 17 inches laptop under a kilogram. However

The rocket equation states that the amount of fuel that you need (to send a given payload into orbit) increases exponentially with the escape velocity of the planet: mass of the rocket with fuel = mass of the payload * exp(escape velocity &

Confucious would reply: When the wise man builds an incredible machine that can bring us to the Moon, the fool looks at the bags of feces. More seriously, because of the rocket equation, bringing more payload back would require a lot more f

It is very disappointing that in 2019 we still have to rely on trusting a software vendor or reading the app souce code if it is available. That would be great to we have an OS-level system to give fine-grained permissions and restrictions

Yes, there is a possibility that the sample is biased. But that does not matter for this experiment. The OP says that the model should be built with people in the same room than him, and then the human RNG should be executed with the same p

Overfitting typically happens when the number of training samples is small compared to the number of parameters of the model. It especially happens when the input space is high-dimensional. Here the input space has a only one dimension. The
