I guess people just don't want to believe that poverty can exist in their neighborhood. They have to believe it is somewhere far away on the other side of the planet.

The word is so overused these days. Your idea may be rational, it may have philosophical appeal, but your idea is not science unless you carry out " experiments " to validate it. Everyone uses the word "science" without

After reading this article, I have to wonder if the criminal court system is under funded and overworked. I think America's core institutions have been under decay for some time now.

How about an efficient structure for storing "actual" arrays in python. Numpy is my friend.

Over a couple of millennia? All you will do is end up selecting for fitness among the existing gene pool. No new genes will be created. Evolution is a slow process, and it will take far longer than a few millennia for new, innovative genes

Learn about information theory. It is better to calculate the cross-entropy error or KL-divergence between the data and the model.

Three big problems: 1) Emphasis on funding translational research using government grants, which industry would otherwise be doing on its own. Hence, industry jobs have evaporated while basic science has languished. 2) Institutional salary

Wow, they have a hose that sprays out pizza sauce and a way of putting a pizza in an oven. So how much are they saving in labor cost?

So what if life hasn't evolved yet to feed off of our power lines, but the potential for it to happen is there?

Totally agree. Using pot is a poor decision. I feel like too many people are of the opinion that pot somehow makes them smarter or better or more creative or fights off cancer.

I think it has more to do with institutions that lack ladders for people to climb. Who can dream of becoming a politician or a banker? Such realities are closed to most people.

It's sad because congress is where our individual vote carries the most weight. It's a crucial institution for our country, without which we'd be nothing more than an empire (in my opinion). Now more than ever it is important

You said it! I don't want a smart oven and a smart lamp. I just want stuff "that works". Digital devices take off when they have a killer application. So far I've seen nothing along these lines.

The study argues that the positive relationship between mental health and higher levels of education is due to confounding factors. The take home message seems to be that higher levels education is not important to mental health. I think th

Having participated in the publishing process, I firmly believe the actions of this girl are justified. When what is legal no longer aligns with what is right, the law must change, or else it becomes a joke.

So I actually interviewed at a company where I didn't have clear instructions, had to switch rooms, ect. and it was a real turn off. First, I felt flustered, and I bombed the interview. But I didn't care because it left me with a
