I'm pretty sure he means "it is an easy equation to memorise, but it's not trivial". People can remember the formula, but have no idea how it actually works.

I'm actually more concerned about the negative (your statement is mostly true), i.e. "if it's in a second-tier journal, it doesn't exist". Sure, some just look for an outlet for their crappy research, but the public

Prestige is a made up concept to keep the big players at the top. If the paper is good then it shouldn't matter where it's published.

I'm a strong python advocate and rarely use for/else for this exact reason. It makes more sense to me for it to be the other way (your way) around. I always add a comment on the else when I do too, to ensure that future readers

Yes, one of the great things about the "don't use your proper name on the internet" was the ability to let go of the past if needed. Much much harder now.

This is the correct answer. When making a concession like this, always take something away. "We can do the website in 6 weeks, but we will have to remove the ability for users to upvote". If that doesn't sit well, send a list

Specifics of this case aside, it must feel great to hold short positions, where you are hoping others fail...

Yeah, I had a mental argument with myself on Nootropics. I was starting to investigate them and just thought "Hold on, you aren't even exercising regularly. Do that first.". I'm sure the gains from moving to regular exer

Would you be upset if Facebook used information about you to choose what to display on your feed? Probably not. What about if they were simply experimenting to see if they could make you happier or more depressed by carefully choosing that

My guess here is that we need to learn more about adding noise to datasets before they go into a neural network. Lots of existing work do alterations like transposing, rotating, flipping and so on. Adding noise, including known attacks, wou

Serious question: how would "author's death plus 10 years" work for companies?

I think zeep actually just means "this time the price is actually $10k", not "now bitcoin is legitimate"

Plenty of minimalists don't. It's just harder to find them if your source of information is commercial in nature.

It does seem to have some effect. Bitcoin "crashed" last week quite a few pecentage points (see https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/#charts click 1M or 3M and see September 15th). Like stocks th

I'm not going to have an argument with my phone on the train by talking and constantly trying to clarify the exact words I said. I use speech for when I'm driving, and that's about it, most of the time I'm going to be ty

You could argue Uber copied Lyft (although it might be more convergence than anything), which I suppose just highlights your point even further.

Can't the same be said for Apple or Microsoft? If either company changes its mind, say Apple release an iPhone XL and discontinues tablets, then the older devices will become less supported in the same way.

Infinite micro? I'd just send all drones/probes/SCVs directly to the human's base and kill their drones. The extra drones that the human has wouldn't be able to make up the difference.

Yeah. I read the title and thought "isn't that what everyone says -- just go with the market?"

I've never really understood the "one langauge" argument. I'm a good (not great) front-end JavaScript programmer, but I don't think that helps writing node.js. Sure, the syntax is technically the same, but the bulk

Further, there is almost always a better data structure for any mixed-type list. So if you know your code will go through pypy, you can just use a different structure.
