I don’t believe Fox is a competitor with YouTube Live; doesn’t YTL include Fox as one of its streaming channels? Particularly with NBC’s Hulu and ABC’s Disney+, they may actually see YTL taking off as a good thing.

After thinking this through for a moment, I think the point here is that there are two fundamentally different ways of thinking about sorting. To the original poster, it's a way of viewing the data. It doesn't change the origina

I think the point is less about the existence of the cleaning fee and the fact that the site doesn't include the fee in the mapping UI. It makes it very difficult to compare properties when there are large fee differences that you cann

Yes, agreed. The site is great and it would be nice to have a similar design for other languages. The closest example that I frequently use is cppreference[1] for C and C++, languages that I use just infrequently enough to forget the basic

I have been using Anki for the past six months for French, more-or-less following the Fluent Forever method. I found that the method worked really well for the basic vocabulary (pictures for easily identifiable objects), cloze deletion for

I would generally agree with your logic, but the problem here is that he broke AA's interpretation of a vaguely worded rule rather than clearly committing a violation of the terms. Given this AA should have contacted him about their vi

Interesting article, though I think it incorrectly leaves the reader thinking that there is some interesting informating hidden in the average spacing of the numbers. In fact, all you need to know is that maximum observation and the numbe

The point, I think, is that it means something slightly different to per-register an hypothesis that depends on retrospective data. When you register to hypothesis, the data already exist and one could (in theory) have already started looki

It also worked because researchers had long-term employment with ample research funding and long periods of time to think outside of the rapid-pace of today's culture in academic and industry labs. Projects such as UNIX, C, C++, and S

The problem isn’t that Google wants to charge for a service. The issue is that they offered it for years for free or below cost effectively price gouging any competition. Now, with no alternatives they jack up the price. Classic monopolisti

Looking at the material here, I think you may be under estimating what is meant by "zero" here. To fully follow these notes you would need to have significant research-level knowledge of general machine learning techniques, with a

The problem is that on an iPhone you are locked into those applications in the Apple App store (unless you jailbreak). On an Android device, you can install 3rd party applications directly. AdGuard, for example, has a stand alone method fo

The problem with this argument is that there is no particular "they" that lied here. George Bush (senior) negotiated these assurances and then, almost a decade later, Clinton reneged on them. I think it is generally known that for

Yes, I agree that the applications for word vectors are not made as clearly as it should be. One direct application is as the first layer of a neural network [1], which could be part of either a 1-dimensional convolution or a recurrent neur

I feel the right to complain anytime Google, Baidu, or Deepmind want to publish results from their models in peer-reviewed forums without offering the models for public scrutiny. If they want to keep the models internal, that's fine, a

The problem is, at least in more populated areas, there are so many exits that traveling in right-most lane can be dangerous with all of the merging traffic. Large trucks in particular will just cut off cars forcing you to slam on the break

The title and abstract of the paper makes it seem like their approach can assure some form of absolute privacy. However, when you get down into the weeds of the article they really only have probabilistic guarantees. This seems like a probl

The issue with your math is that you're incorrectly assuming that a vote in the House is equally powerful to one in the Senate. On the contrary, a seat in the Senate is far more powerful due to procedural differences, significantly lon

The idea of implementing cutting-edge NLP algorithms is fantastic and greatly needed. However I believe the multi-licensing will not be sustainable in the long term. It limits the ability (and interest) in others contributing into the libra
