Yes except that the vast majority of the population are part of the businesses in some manner so if you tax all businesses then you are taxing the whole population (or vast majority). And as I said, personal income taxes on wages are actual

If we are talking about fairness, what I described is more fair. 10% of income for a poor person can mean the difference between buying prescription drugs or going without as one example. However a rich person is going to have enough money

If we are going to massively simplify taxes, then it needs to be done on the richest rather than the poor like a consumption tax does. By rich, I don't necessarily mean rich individuals. The richest entities in society are businesses a

Given several NLP algorithms are able to achieve >90% accuracy and many more achieve >80% accuracy, how do you come to the conclusion that "all ideas in NLP are garbage".

Isn't that only if you have a margin account but cash accounts aren't required?

For SpaceX probably especially since SpaceX's president has started to become more visible. However for Tesla I doubt it, at least not yet. Musk wouldn't be sleeping at the factory if he didn't need to micromanage.

Other than Github's icon, I had no idea what the icons for the other check boxes were. I figured it out, but I would recommend using the name rather than icon especially since the names aren't long. I also recommend to start with

Yes, XBRL (XML) files. However they only give you the financials. What OP wanted was management summary, risk factors, etc which still needs to be parsed. Luckily many companies now will put anchors to those sections in the HTML.

What do you mean by training-validation-testing vs training-validation split? Also why would pandas.qcut compromise the validation?

I generally don't like the assumption that life had to come from space because we don't know how life is created and it appeared so soon in the history of Earth. That is certainly a possibility, but it also possible that creating

Many NLP algorithms, especially ML ones, are actually language agnostic because the input is either tokens or characters. The part that is language dependant is tokenization, normalization, and stemming. That part can be difficult and if no

The context of the entire thread is using money to "control" tourism which is already common. I have been to many places where tourists paid more or had a special tax. Or were required to have a local guide. The UN charter is spec

The UN isn't talking about tourism.

The part about a solid pipeline is very important. Recently I talked to someone who had a bad experience detecting phrases using gensim. I always have had a good experience so I was curious. Turns out they were doing OCR on PDFs and feeding

No because as far as I am aware Elon has not tried to actively hide the problems even if he sometimes paints a rosier picture than reality. That is very different from telling everyone, including regulators, that the diagnostic tests work g

Fraud? The kind of fraud that can get someone hurt or killed like the bogus diagnostic tests which could mean a patient ends up taking the wrong drug and/or dose which hurts them.

knime and deep learning studio look like tools for ML experts and I am not sure what runwayml does. Lobe appears to be something that a software engineer could use but they don't necessarily need to be a ML expert. We will see if Lobe

Actually it is in the DNA. The shape of our teeth are both for eating meat and vegetables. India is the only example I am aware of with a culture of vegetarianism. That begs the question, why? One possibility is religion.

Not really. There is a very small percentage of the population that will always do those things, but the only time that happens on a large scale is if something more fundamental is wrong. Fix that fundamental problem (e.g. lack of food and

Abstinence has never worked whether it is sex or environmental sustainability. We have to find solutions that factor in human nature. Humans, as a species, will not stop having sex nor will they stop eating meat.

A friend's daughter is 6 or 7 and she already intuitively understands math in certain ways, such as how to add two very large numbers in your head, that I didn't understand until college. Only one anecdote, but Common Core seems t

The sports/activities that college outdoor clubs are involved in often require gear which can cost $100s or $1000s per sport. Most college students cannot afford to spend that kind of money just to try a sport. These clubs often use th

On average, one company in the portfolio going bankrupt isn't going to make much of a difference assuming the portfolio is large enough. Most index funds have a large enough portfolio.

Index funds are already diversified. When you invest in one, you are betting that the entire economy or a sector of the economy, depending on the index fund, will increase in value.
