> the Arabs take every chance they get to murder Jews. And this, my friends, is the problem. Blanket statements aka racism. There’s no way to end a conflict peacefully if that’s the dominant point of view.

Well, I support neither Islamists, nor Israel. And I can see how Palestinians look like terrorist to someone from Israel. But I can understand that IDF looks like a terrorist organization when they drop bombs on your head. Point is, both si

It might as well be that the only reason why Iran and others are active in Palestine is because it’s blockaded.

I’m surprised there’re people who think objective truth exists in international politics. At a very least, it’s very uncommon.

You should be discouraged from abandoning projects when hitting a wall. I’d advise against dropping out of PhD program if you don’t have a publication ready in second year. Also, there’re people who truly enjoy science and pay isn’t the dec

Don’t be surprised if the founders are going to be used in prisoner exchange between Russia and US. More then anything, this is about catching as many Russians as possible to put pressure to release detained Americans.

It’s different in Europe, but you still need a book once in a while when doing a degree. And it’s insane to expect students to part with a three-figure number for a book.

I like Ivan Efremov’s works, if you can find those in English. Wool by Hugh Howey (Silo is now steaming on AppleTV).

I bet you could come up with bullshit like: “WeWork is a platform! We can also do food delivery and sell other add-ons…”. Saudi investors would be delighted five years ago.

You can show the full price and the breakdown at the same time. That’s how it works eg in the Airbnb app: I see the price host charges and the fee I pay to Airbnb. The taxi apps show their fee as well.

I'm well aware of Apple’s success since I’m surrounded by their devices at home. It seems to me it can’t be attributed only to ARM. What I wonder is where’re someone can match Intel on Intel’s playing field, like supplying ARM chips to

I think in practice free speech should be limited if it’s clearly damaging. In case of anti-vax movement, it’s just crystal clear that allowing them to spread the word was detrimental to public health. So I’m in favor banning those who use

I’m ignorant about this. Can a Qualcomm or Samsung chip match Intel’s raw power?

A theory is usually based on some prior knowledge or observations. But let’s forget that for a second. In the anti-vax case, their argument is: “All your research in favor of vaccinating the population is wrong. We don’t have any evidence f

It’s not inconvenient and more importantly not information. It’s annoying and not based on facts. I’d love to see any actual research done at a molecular biology lab that’d back an anti-vax fantasy. And then there’s the whole epidemiology l

> despite no proof that it isn't a possibility Because you don’t get to come up with a “theory” and dump the burden of the proof on someone else. That’s incredibly stupid. Not how how science and common sense work.

They used maximum likelihood tree building. In Bayesian approach it’s possible to sample from a distribution of trees which can help with the uncertainty. Anyway, I only have very limited knowledge on this from my evolutionary biology cours
