4chan is a very niche community. There are some who don't care what kinds of shit gets posted, but there's a very good reason their user base is so small compared to other sites like reddit.

The point of machine learning is to develop algorithms that are better than what humans are capable of drooping because of their complexity.

In urban areas, housing in Europe is typically cheaper than in the US. Rural and suburban housing is much more, though of course the US has a far larger supply of land.

Does that really work? Can MRI achieve high enough resolutions? I thought it couldn't image anything smaller than 0.1mm or so.

Buddhists can be as violent as members of any other religion, but you cannot possible make the argument that Buddhism supports violence in any way. If you pick up a holy book from any of the Abrahamic religions, you will find no shortage of

I don't think it's that no one cares, it's that he is very difficult to stand up to. The EU needs him because Turkey is the only thing holding back a flood of 2 million refugees. They can't threaten sanctions without ris

I doubt very much that even self driving cars will solve LA's traffic problem by themselves. The sheer volume of people is so large, that mass transit will probably still be needed.

Above ground rail isn't practical in urban areas. The video had silly car tunnels, but in practice, I'm sure the bulk of their business will be subway tunnels.

I think the video was just to look flashy and show off the Model 3 design. I imagine most of the tunnel boring will be for mass transit.

I assume this is part of his motivation. The cost of LA's perpetual traffic clusterfuck must be immense. The car tunnels in the video were silly, but being able to build subway tunnels faster and for cheap would be a huge boon for ever

That depends, are you day trading without knowing what you are doing, or are you just buying to hold?

I think the problem with it is that it's essentially exploiting a flaw in capitalism. The company would probably generate more total long term value if it continued to service multiple companies, but Tesla wants to capture as much of i

Many people still consider it shady, despite the fact that it's been common practice for so many years. No one is ever surprised anymore, but perhaps this is one of those trends that shouldn't leave the software industry.

I think the people underestimate the potential of tax revolt as a form of resistance. It's a lot less risky than you might think. If you file accurately and don't pay, they can still penalize you for late payment, but you won&#x27

I think that's often true of more traditional attempts at storytelling in games. I would say that the emergent stories in games like Civilization or Dwarf Fortress are more compelling that the written stories in most games. However, th

The full professors are there to do research. I can understand the motivation for having professors teach advanced subjects, but having them teach intro classes is just silly. It's worse for both the students and the professor. Teachin

Well, there is a technology called FNIRS, which uses infrared light to detect blood flow in the brain kind of like fMRI, but without the giant expensive equipment. It's pretty new, and the signal is quite noisy. I'm skeptical of h

Throwing money at the problem isn't necessarily going to help. Tons of poor school districts have gotten major cash infusions and produced nothing to show for it. The money needs to be spent efficiently. Power needs to be taken away fr

The pharmacies are absolutely in compliance with Canadian law, and they are legitimate. This works for a lot of people. You don't have to do it if you don't want to, but there is no legal risk to you.

Platinum, along with other metals like iridium, are valuable for industrial purposes. Their price would fall if supply increased, but it wouldn't collapse. Demand would also increase as the price falls and it would probably still be va

More like being distracted and unproductive all day. Tripping is great when that's what you're trying to do, but it would be quite awful if you had to be at work the whole time.

Yes, there is a chance customs will seize your package, but even then it's still worth it and you won't get into any trouble personally.
