I'm sure any modern IR missile can shoot down any current stealth plane if it knows the location to within a few kms. There are FLIR images of thr F22, nothing extraordinary about it in the IR spectrum.

Surely not as a surprise, this thing will be back next fall.

This is such an underrated comment! Yeah, right, it's so nice platforms prevent people from selling, just as the big fish unload their own stocks.

I absolutely agree on the 30 minutes commute. I used to have that, my office changed location to 1h commute and the 2 days of wfh still mean more commute time than no wfh previously. I've had 50minutes commute before, but it was just

I can confirm, that's my brother in laws advice and he's a beekeeper. I also buy directly from trusted beekeepers when he's out of honey.

The romans had an intricate system that prevented oil fraud, they could track and amphora back to the farm it originated in, and every step along the way. We should be able to do the same with modern technology and severely penalize individ

You mean magnet AND a solenoid, surely, the actuator can't be just a magnet. That's why I think you both are right.

I'm genuinely curious as to why do they even bother with those strings then? Is it shame? Is it something else?

It takes children yeara to develop nakedness shame, and they develop it because of their peers, not something biological.

I'm a christian, but there are even bigger issues with Genesis from a scientific point of view: how about the dinosaurs, bacteria, viruses and so on. There are some Bible quotes that seem to show transcedental, accurate insights -- lik

What do you make of Adam being ashamed of being naked in the presence of God? To me, that seems to be just something a clothed adult in a pudic society would think, not something the first man would actually feel.

It still is pretty clever and non trivial to come up with. I bet most people who haven't thought about it beforehand or heard the solution, would fail an interview question as "So, we have a database of 100s Million passwords and

Just as the majority of people who catch the flu don't get tested for it, only the serious cases do. So we know covid19 spreads much easier than the flu and is orders of magnitude deadlier than the flu for those that get tested/co

There's no tradeoff if you never actually trade, is there? There's not actually any wise balance and other mumbo-jumbo fart-heads in the WTO like to spew out, if under no circumstance do you ban travelling or take any meaningful a

>Why is the WHO concerned about the economy? What do you mean why? Wasn't there recently some news about a US official threatening some UN high figure?

Then let's just fuck WHO, we can play tit for tat just as easily.

So, it's almost like the virus is actually good for the markets in the longest bull market on record? That almost sounds delusional to me, but hey, as long as central banks can pump money into the markets, anything goes.

> or the day we get enough inflation that the Fed has to shift tack and start talking about tightening I think there's a typo there, and it should have read "the FED has to shift the definition of inflation once again"

I was talking about novel/real-world applications. With software, you can pretty much know in advance what will work, ROUGHLY how much it will take and how much it will cost. With ML you have a high chance that ML will not work at al

I'm no statistics expert, but given they can predict election outcomes from samples of a couple thousand people for tens of milions of voters, 40k+ infected with coronavirus is enough to have a very good idea about death rates.

by raducu 7y ago
Do we really know how many people are infected with the flu? I'm sure only the more severe cases get tested for both.
893.
by raducu 7y ago
I'm so sick of people comparing this to the flu. It's nothing like the flu -- coronavirus death rates are 2%, flu 0.01 -- it's 200 times as deadly and it can spread before any symptoms.

Thank you, that was a great read.

Not so sure about the real growth after you add central bank induced asset price inflation or just the heavily skewed basic inflation central banks like to post every year. I'd be willing to bet that a lot of the said growth is really

Listen -- if 0.5% of people see real economic growth of 10000% and the rest see negative growth after inflation, even if on paper, on average we have positive growth, the overall result is NEGATIVE if you ask me. Just check real wage growth

Why are you guys even arguing about this? IF ML works great, yeah it could have a big positive impact, but not much for the average person so far, meanwhile it does work for the chinese dictatorship, hedge funds, the military, the scummy co

How is a rise in house prices helping the nobler parts of the economy? People spend considerable more of their income on mortgages or rents, leaving a lot less for other less fixed and shorter lived assets. I'd be 1000% satisfied with

I think you are being disingenuousby saying 200 years. Except medical advances and science, I'd be all willing to trade ALL the economic "growth" in the first world of the last 20 years if we could also revert wars, climat
