In Brazil, with a huge informal economy, you can now find all sorts of small street vendors with a card reader. Also the government has successfully rolled out Pix less than 2yrs ago, with now 50% of the population as registered users. Pix

On the contrary, Norway, as most Scandinavians, are above the EU average on chronic depression. But Portugal, a sun-rich country which sits East of its timezone, gets the top spot. So, go figure. https://ec.europa.eu/eurosta

So far, this just looks like another recession for regular Russians, and not as bad as 1998-99 [1]. At least as far as "their money" goes. Losing access to western goods, services and travel may be the more noticiable factor, at l

Regardless, like I said, the Kytch box (a Raspberry Pi) is overriding the code that accesses the secret menu of the ice-cream machines [1]. That's outside the intended operation. And that's liability if McD knows about it and says

In fact, the amount of press around the guy seems to work as an invitation for people to come to casinos. I wouldn't discard the whole thing as a total scheme, a fabrication set up between the "professor" and the cassinos int

I sure hope so. If I get an SMS/RCS from anyone on my android device I typically freak out, just as I freak out when people call me on my phone number. Phone service protocols feel very outdated to me and are prone to scams, which I ge

It's SEO for the OP site. The parent comment is saying the words TF and PyTorch are repeated exhaustively, I think sometimes senselessly, throughout the entire article. It doesn't mean the content is not of value.

I'm on that boat. Tensorflow.js is the only decent ML library for JS. Google support for TF.js has been dwindling, but new versions are still coming out AFAIK and we've just got Apple Silicon (M1) support.

The thing about trials is that there's a reasonable chance the patient ends up in the control/placebo group, which is something to think about when signing up for miracle. It could help explain some of the "done nothing"

I'm also not a big fan of voice messages in chats, but got used to it. Lately, speeding up playback (the "1.5x" or "2x" in Whatsapp) has been a true blessing for the receiver end. Voice messages are also useful when

Are there any opensource real internet search engines worth looking at? I think we should be working on disrupting search as a whole instead of depending on the Googles, Baidus and Bings of the world. I'm fully aware of the massive cra

Because strategy A beats both B and A+B. It's either VHS or Betamax, not both. And this again has to do with worse-is-better. A+B could be wise in certain scenarios, but it's unrealistic as it requires double effort in all fronts,

This is what I tell them pro-nuclearists, who mostly, in my circles, tend to be engineers or tech-savy minds with a better-is-better mindset: Nuclear is the mainframe. Let's just concede, for the sake of argument: the hands-down better

According to analysis from engineers, or Esther from a guy I used to work with who studied break waves for the state transportation board, less cars with larger gaps is better. That's why you see semaphores on highway entering ramps so

It's an useful resource. According to their features page, I think if you register you can export (download) the schema DDL. It would be nice to get sample data too. It's quite hard to find good sample databases with data in them,

It's even greyer than the Moon apparently. Unless this mission finds an active volcano, which I doubt it will, or some other colorful feature hidden from the previous missions, I think that's pretty much it, nothing but shades of

In Spain, the government chose to, temporarily, lower taxes on electric energy from +27% to a (not yet there) target of around 10%. Some (but not all) countries in Europe also have high energy taxes that can be lowered to mitigate the impac

As a user I love renting on these platforms, specially big city rentals. I'm sure airbnb style rentals contribute positively to the host city besides the sheer number of tourists. That includes the services economy surrounding rentals,

Be aware there's a mistake in the examples of using bind() as a currying helper. const multiply = (a) => (b) => a * b ... const multiplyByTwo = multiply.bind(this, 2) multiplyByTwo(4); // returns 8
