Thanks god someone sees it as clearly as I do. The whole article is pure madness, it even states "Law enforcement is a scourge on Americans’ personal safety". I'm sure law enforcement in the US has a lot of problems, but this

Yes, making developing nations richer faster so they reach developed countries birth rates sooner. Educating girls and empowering them on those countries also will make birth rates to decline faster.

A state with nuclear weapons and ruled by an authoritarian tyrant without any counterbalances is waging a war while throwing threats to other nuclear weapon states. This is happening in the part of the world where I live in. Furthermore, th

For me the key point to understand what's going on(assumming I got it), is that the hidden layer "has" to produce similar representations for words that appear in the same contexts so the output layer can predict them. The in

Probably not what you want, but webdev skills are more marketable for freelancing, which seems your better chance of avoiding deep scrutiny. Best of luck.

I can totally relate. Reading lots of english makes very little to your listening skills. I mostly "solved" it by listening lots and lots of podcasts, but I can still remember googling the word "ossom" which a podcast ho

For solving the sieve of Eratosthenes youn need 0 dependencies, and Eclipse gets in the way all the time(I have seen it and it's painful to watch).

I did, I don't think the snarkiness was necessary. My point, which apparently it wasn't evident enough, is that you can get the most of the benefits by doing nothing, just trying a different Python implementation, without the hass

For me the corollary of this post should be, try PyPy. You may get a 10x speedup for free.

It is. But stablished idioms became obsolete, and the code that used them becames unidiomatic. And you have to learn them if you want to read other people's code. Python doesn't need more features but better implementations, IMO.

Once my favorite language by far, Python is starting to became too cluttered. Very few of the additions to the language in the 3.x branch are worth it IMO. I remember that in the early 00's people called it "executable pseudocode&

This is amazing. Thank you! Does it take into account negative reviews/comments? I have seen that Why we sleep is being recommended in the 6 months tab, but, while it was received with a lot of praise, it was soon critizised by others

REAMDE was crap, IMO, and I'm a Stephenson fan. And the problem with Stephenson is that's rarely succint so a bad book from him turns into a huge loss of time.

China has no voters, so they don't need to be worried about public opinion(for now). Furthermore, the effects of air pollution are more evident there so it's easier to sell the tradeoff, IMO(I know almost nothing about China, TBH)

That's one of them, and the least interesting of both. I remember that the other one was way more concealed and involved a global variable or something like that and it didn't seemed that the code was doing what was actually doing

If I understand correctly the sunk cost fallacy your example lacks an objectively better alternative, like an opportunity related to one of your hobbies, unrelated to your studies, which could land you in a great job in some years. As you s

Yet they didn't do it, aside from very minor exceptions. And with good reason, trying to outbid each other doesn't make a great strategy to keep a Union. I don't get why I'm downvited, btw.

That's interesting, but I guess it needs some legal support at the Austrian level, because the regulation doesn't prescribe those uses for the certificate.

As far I have been told by the national authorities of my country, that's the case. I haven't read the whole regulation but this paragraph I think it addresses it: This Regulation establishes the legal ground for the processing o

It implicitelly does. In that case, the certificate has to show 1/1 instead of 1/2 for a two doses vaccine. Besides, the recommendation for people who had the infection is to get the shot 6 months after the diagnosis, so it would

You are right with regards to the technical side, but there is an important detail to note. Those certificates only can be used for travelling between eu states. Any other use is currently banned and would need to ammend the EU regulation.
