You have no clue what they care about.

Even if those opinions call for murdering journalists? Like many countries in Europe, calls for violence should be illegal. It's also pretty easy to not care about these things if your are a white conservative male and not the target o

My reading of current events are that we are more likely headed towards modern Russia where journalists are imprisoned or murdered for not supporting populist ideals than we are headed towards some sort of communist state. I mean Trump did

Yes. Although, there aren't the extremes in chess like the bullet variations that I am aware of.

Personally, I recommend Go over Chess. I've played both not well and I enjoy Go more. Chess is extremely tactical and calculation oriented. One blunder and the game is over for the most part in Chess. While in Go, reading is also incre

In some parts of Asia, tipping isn't a thing. So much nicer than agonizing over a tip. Just charge what something is worth. As a former waiter, I realize the importance of tips for them, but it seems like the system is broken. I rememb

No he isn't technically correct. He said he has won by a lot, which isn't true.

Well stated. And in fact many of the things Trump has done, I would support. But I can't get past his worst characteristics.

Agree, pulling a number out of my backside it feels like at least 10% of the country have some sort of white supremacist leanings.

by longtimegoogler 6y ago
Totally agree.

It is probably to mistake to lump together different minority groups as I imagine the issues that move them are very diverse. I am not sure that the increases say much about Trump's actual policies outside of his stance on shutdowns an

Is Fox news, the most watched news show in America not mainstream media? Trump has been slandered because of his outrageous statements and actions.

I also don't think Trump is a racist. I think he is an opportunist, though, who was willing to say things that were borderline racist to rally his supporters. In other words, he was willing to pander to racists for power. Some examples

The article is a nice piece of spin. It seems they started with a narrative and fit the facts to it. I've taken the trainings referred to in the article and I never once thought they were designed to dissuade discussions about antitrus

My productivity has soared as measured by things like like lines of codes, CL submitted, and Design Docs written. For heads down coding, WFH is much better. I hate open offices and find cross-talk distracting. For certain types of collabora

I disagree with that characterization of Pearl's work. Pearl's methods are actually already being used in many fields like Epidemiology.

by longtimegoogler 6y ago
That's a long paper and I am interested to read it. From what I have heard, there is more adoption of Pearl's methods in Epidemiology and in Social Sciences, in contrast with Econometrics. To me, it reminds me of Dyson Freeman&#x2

Interesting hypothesis. Thanks for the article. I will have to stew on this. It doesn't seem to jibe with the all angst about class that people seem to be feeling.

I think cost of living should be factored into this though. San Francisco is one of the most expensive cities in the world. 2 million is meager to try and retire in SF. You are correct that he clearly isn't broke.

Yeah. I also think these large contributions to college endowments are of questionable social value. They clearly help the people who go there to get an education but do they really address the issues that people who can't go to an Ivy

Agree. I think the greatest ill of our society is the death of the middle class and the widening gap between the haves and the have nots. Some suggest that taxation is the answer but maybe another answer is for companies to distribute their

As someone with low vitamin D this kinda sucks. Does anyone know how effective OTC vitamin D is at raising vitamin D levels and what kind of doses to take?

Very cool! I get excited about Category Theory just like the rest.

by longtimegoogler 6y ago
As someone who knows some Category Theory, Algebraic Topology, and a smidgen of Algebraic Geometry, I totally agree. Category Theory is a very useful and essential tool in those subjects. However, to me it reminds me of String Theory, in th

Yeah, I was also there at that time. Again, to me the revelation was not that they were doing it but instead the specific details of how they were doing it.

I don't think so. Wasn't it common knowledge that the Government had access to emails via ISPs and shredder well before Snowden's revelations? What was revealing, I guess was some of the technical details of how it was being
