This is a great point of comparison. I feel that societal systems (and associated complexities) are more rigid than biological systems in the sense that a biological systems evolve efficient solutions in response to changing internal and ex

Costa Rica seems to be showing up in some discussions as a retirement option for Americans for cost of living and healthcare options. Panama has been on this list for a while. Would love to hear about others

This is fantastic, thanks for sharing! The unique ability to drill down into connected tables and visualize the relationships and data within is unique (for me at least). Are you building this as a personal tool or building it in a manner t

Or it could be because US has 4% of the world population but 25% of the coronavirus cases? With supposedly the best brain trust and the biggest economy of the world, we were maybe expected to do better but landed up performing worse than ot

This is a very valid question and we should all be asking this. Mars has approximately 200 estimated asteroid impacts per year ( https://www.space.com/21198-mars-asteroid-strikes-common.htm... - a bit dated) while earth has

Well said. Imagine a similar deepfake with a Nixon "confession" about having to stage the moon landing to make America look superior. You now suddenly have the next viral facebook or whatsapp forward for conspiracy theorists who a

Does an institution like CDC have the mandate to ask for the antibody and viral tests to be reported separately by all states? I would seem to me that we would all benefit as a country if this were done and the data were made available free

Very possible and future experiments should probe this hypothesis too. We should never forget that the very beginnings of immunotherapy were paradoxes themselves (e.g. infecting someone with a disease to control cancer). Our immune system,

SpaCy PyTorch transformers are pip installed and require Python 3.6+ and SpaCy 2.1.7+ to work - https://github.com/explosion/spacy-pytorch-transformers So probably not directly related to core SpaCy itself.
