The high prices of education are still worth the lifetime earning potential, or so I've read many times. But that doesn't mean it is a good deal. The cost of Knowledge is trending to zero because of the Internet. So why is the cos

The fastest way to pay is cash---how many times have you waited around a credit card machine waiting for the transaction to go through? Anyway, the big time sink is in the shopping experience, waiting in line, and checking out the items. Wh

One could separate the training data into a validation and training set. Then you could try both the ReLU and softplus to see which performs better. I have no idea which type would---I just liked the idea of using a smooth activation functi

Everyone hates how patents are abused, and yet everyone seems to acknowledge their importance in specific cases. Why not raise the price of patents substantially? It might make patent trolling economically unfeasible, but would still allow

Just thought you might like to hear this---I love octave and use it regularly in my academic work. It is the perfect language for me to rapidly prototype out a calculation. That said, I think the future lies in porting over octave librarie

Professors are not rewarded for doing a good job at teaching. They are rewarded for paying for their own salary using government research grants. Universities have their priorities badly misplaced from what I have seen.

A huge complex and probably expensive system is made so that people can wait while their car is brought to them instead of driving it out themselves. This idea will never make it.

What is wrong is that educational loans have been granted a special status that makes it impossible to remove them by filling for Bankruptcy. It made the banking industry too willing to hand out money to people who would never be able to re

Quote: "The drug is long off patent." So why not order the drug from China or India? Is the drug expensive to manufacture? Or is it that the Canadian government will only order the drug from select countries? I wish the article du
