Seriously! Any programmer would get pilloried for working solely in single letter variable names. It's so tedious that this is the norm in math.

The people making these predictions do not have the power to extract taxes. The people who do have the power to extract taxes (Congress) are ignoring the predictions.

Chrome profiles are the right tool for this. Just have a separate profile for work and for home. This has the added benefit of making it easy to stay logged out of time-wasting sites while at work.

If you think it was a justification of inequality then you are reading it wrong. His argument is that there are good things which inherently produce inequality, so it is too non specific of a target. We're better off attacking rent see

> You can be the most productive widget-maker in the factory. You are using a non economic definition of productivity, and he is using the economic one. In Economics, productivity is the value of what is produced, not the quantity.

This doesn't seem like it is working yet. Most of the validation set images are flat sepia with a random blotch of blue.

Right now the practice is for the manufacturer to give people a refund on the product in exchange for their 5 star review. It is infuriating. Amazon should ban these companies from the store or they may lose me as a customer (and I buy near

That makes sense, but in a model where time doesn't have a privileged sign, would it have expanded in both directions then? So our universe inflates forwards, and the antimatter universe inflates backwards, both sides creating time fro

I should know better than to play armchair physicist, but isn't this the perfect mechanism for symmetry breaking? If antimatter is just matter travelling back in time, then naturally all the antimatter created in the big bang isn'

While a proposal would be better than a takedown certainly, I do think this kind of language advocacy has value. People don't generally get to choose the languages they work in, the industry chooses for them. So if you don't want

Without generics, you can never write a type safe datastructure. I can't imagine the hubris that thinks the language already contains all of the datastructures it needs.

Ensemble models always win. The democratically chosen already have almost all of the power. It's ok that a few other people have a little as a hedge in case that works better.

I've found even glucose meters to be wildly inaccurate. There is often a 20% difference in readings between two meters moments apart, and thats enough to have consequences for how your care is managed.

If you need several, fly to India and combine it with a great vacation. You can have a suit custom tailored for ~$200-400.

Certainly, I wouldn't want it ignored by law enforcement and first responders. Beyond that though, the public's reaction is the objective of the terrorists. Reacting to these events is literally "letting the terrorists win.&q

If you can remember any examples, I'd love to debug.
