Existence of prior rule breakers doesn't mean that it is not forbidden. In reality SEC does try to pursue lots of crypto businesses and in general goes in the order of size rather than chronology.

Not necessarily, Alice, Bob and Charlie talking together might not be representable through a set of <AB>, <AC>, <BC> interactions, sometimes you really need all three to be talking/listening together. Then the inter

This assumes pair-wise communication, but if you need to set up n-team cross channels then this can go up factorially (realistically it won’t, but definitely larger exponent than 2). To put it another way, thinking of teams as nodes and com

We live in a society where it is important that people follow the spirit of the social contract. Acting in bad faith is bad even if you pay your punishment or if the action uses a loophole keeping you on the right side of the law. The wor

Oftentimes problems are hard, being able to come up with a useful heuristic (in this case greedy + fixer) is probably the most valuable thing one can do. Most math problems in real life aren’t solvable, you have to learn to approximate&#x2F

Apple forces all third party browsers on iOS to use WebKit, so really everything has to use safari’s rendering engine.

For my PhD I have to say I just kind of winged it. However, nowadays I use notion.so for personal organization. Basically I define schemas for types of data I want to handle (tasks (which you can view as kaban boards), papers I’ve read&#x2F

Numbers are equivalent to titles. You presumably don’t have senior as title either.

Staff, principle, fellow? More seriously I think something that can happen with older folks is they might fall into working in a single place with a single set of tools for a very long time so when they transition to something different it

That’s a red room style argument, but I’m guessing if you have time to get feedback/etc on all possible combinations you might just learn Japanese (because it is informationally compact to get high scores through semantic understanding

I think the main issue is interpolation vs extrapolation. Statistical models work well within the domain where data is available but have trouble generalizing to where data is unavailable. The very cool thing with physics is that theory was

And if you had a 80/20 equities/cash split that you rebalance annually you would do well in the Japanese market over the same time period.

Somehow im guessing it goes a bit deeper than “I have black friends” in this case. Althoug I haven’t seen the image referred to in the tweet, so maybe it was in very very bad taste and racist.

Supporting free Hong Kong and Taiwan isn’t really comparable to supporting ISIS. The “he is an anti Chinese racist” rhetoric seems stretched by the fact that he spent so much time there, his romantic partner is Chinese, he seems to have a f

US exports dirty production to other countries so some of the drop is not real (just gets allocated to other countries). Also despite this we still produce more than 2x more per capita than China.

I am not exactly buying the premise here, if you train a CNN on useful semantic categories then the representations they generate will be semantically meaningful (so the error shown in blog wouldn’t occur). I dislike the general idea of iCl

In 2020 they had $29B net income on $89B revenue. Their forward pe is 29. While they are definitely priced for continued growth, it is really wrong to say that their finances befit a “100x lower” valuation.

But interventions can also cause societal collapse. If you don’t know what you are doing don’t do anything since action can be worse than inaction.

You can sell/buy the drug as supplement without fda approval, it is not banned/on a schedule. So the problem is with the fda approval, not socialized healthcare.

You’re right. They invested (to get cash flow from younger people during retirement) or relied on their children (to get cash flow equivalents from younger people during retirement). Kind of same how social security works (current retirees
