Disinformation/narratives' control has always been present: There are some examples I can think of: - Manifest Destiny. - Spanish American 1989 war because (Maine sinking). - The gulf of Tokin incident. - The Nayirah tes

Don't know what kind of Spanish speaker you spoke to, but no Spaniard/Latin-American I know would pronounce a famouse people name lke Michael Jackson "wrong".

Good idea. Establishing a relationship between your name and with some named thing of the real world: a TV series character, a city, etc.

Colonial politics of UK has been kept alive even during XXI century: Northern Ireland, Gibraltar, etc. The issue here is that the people in UK has been "educated" in thinking that the British Empire was a good thing, instead of th

The border has been opened since 1982, what post-Franco Government issues are you talking about? Speaking of Gibraltar, UK occupied the Isthmus of Gibraltar in 1815, where Spain's Government ceded the Isthmus for the duration of a yell

Once you have a trained neural network you can apply on several TV programs, you can even share with the community... Don't know, it sounds like an interesting problem.

Couldn't they use deep learning to blur or even remove the graffiti from the TV live video? Is it because of being live TV?

Thank you for this data. I'm no machine learning engineer, but learning some NLP and was wondering what kind of computer would get to run state-at-the-art models. I assume the hardware requirements for training are massive and impracti

While I don't live in the US. It is not difficult to imagine that living in Honduras is worse than living in the US (in general).

Theoretically, story points are like a measure of time that is used to compare user stories. My understanding is that for some developers are a relative measure of complexity, useful to compare USs. Now, for me they are the ideal time slot.

As per several news pieces[1], and human rights and internal organizations[2][3], Honduras looks like one of the last countries I would consider to move. Political unstability, rampant violence, and poverty. I would not like to live there.

There wasn't a change in Shakespeare's times? It would be like creating an English dialect with a different pronunciation. Easier than rewritting every text that exists today.

by happy_path 6y ago
A phonological reform would be more appropiate than a spelling reform. English texts would keep the same and only the pronunciation would change.

All Spaniards can speak Spanish according to Spanish Constitution. Thus, Catalan is a regional language. If the EU should have to provide translations and material in each of the regional languages, the cost of coding laws would be quite a

Reading technical books has helped me pass some interviews and improve my programming skills. It also helps me learn new languages (Go) and do some personal projects. No personal project has helped me get a job though... Usually the part of

Good question, but being a software engineer is a big part of my life. Maybe a too big part.

Thank you. I needed to read that.

I'm not a code monkey but, in my current place of work, there is no much place for creativity (micromanaging) and I miss that. I'm trying to learn some things on the side (because I'm not assigned enough challenging tasks.

When I see this kind of lists I always think of getting some of these books and reading them. However, I feel like reading books that have no relationship with my job (software engineer) is a waste. Do any feel the same? Is this a harmful m
