You can back up your data from Huawei phones, too. Apple had plans to scan the photos on your phone and automatically report you to the police if the algorithm thinks something is off. I wouldn't trust them at all.

The magic is in the "strategies"? How does it do that? And does it have a memory between test runs?

I don't understand what benefit the hypothesis library gives here? Why can't you just generate values without hypothesis and call the test function with your values "manually"?

As a counterpoint, my kid was playing a game on Roblox that taught them basics of avoiding fraud before allowing them to play. It was a game about trading animals. It is not all bad.

"I also read that report, but I got a different vibe from it than you did." You read the 1000 pages? Respect! But is it even "science" or just a bunch of predictions? "The doomsday scenarios will come to pass if we

How is it not science? Of course that is also science. Can you point out something where he broke your rule of using scientific methods? All he did so far was provide some data points. The "real" scientists should be able to expla

Sure - but then how do you verify that some alleged scientist has been doing that, if you are not allowed/worthy of checking their work?

I looked into the source of the 99% claims before, and in general, they don't say what you claim they say. They may find that most scientists agree that humans have an impact on climate, but that doesn't mean they agree on the doo

I did not get the impression that "it's complicated" is the usual way to introduce it. The usual way is to claim billions of scientists allegedly agree and it is supposedly settled science. "Also, the IPCC put out a like

The "environmental scientists and academics" in question have probably also been accused of bad science by their opponents. And who gets to decide who is the scientist in that debate? Shellenberger and Lomborg have presumable stud

Don't you think it is weird that people who try to do their own research end up in the "happy to ignore science" camp, as you put it? I don't think they "ignore science", they just realize it is a lot more comp

You are merely constructing an idealized authoritarian elite of scientists whom nobody can question because allegedly their craft is too complicated for mere mortals. Sorry, but no. A lot of people have an academic education, for example, a

So one out of several billion elderly people. Nice, but not really a proven concept. My father used to be a doctor in a place that got converted into a pedestrians only area, he reported that a lot of people had issues. Business for other s

I live in a big city, so I see a lot of elderly people. But especially the ones who are not mobile anymore you probably see less. If they were using those tricycle things, I would certainly see them at least some times.

There are a lot of elderly people, though. I know it causes issues. Not saying it can't be solved, but it is naive to say that simply banning cars is always a net plus. Why did people living in the city even buy cars to begin with?

Do you disagree that the monetary policies of the FED messed up the economy? How is that OK? The point of Bitcoin is literally decentralization. Centralization is control and anti-freedom.
