If you are smart you will spend less than you earn over a long period To achieve this you need a plan. The plan can be responsible and also contain periods of spending more than you earn. This will allow you to invest in your life, an

Well, absent the implosion of general confidence in crypto and the likely hawkish reaction of regulators - I agree.

At it's deepest level the $ is viable because of the consent of the people of the USA. The US Army isn't either capable of enforcing law in the USA or exercising influence out of the USA without that consent.

>I have defended Crypto and even dabbled in the industry for a while, but this is shocking to find one of the blue chip names losing client funds. Steel yourself for future challenges.

It looks like some of the figures in the article I cited may be very wrong. Wikipedia says that Rough has 3.3bn cubic meters of storage, so 30Bcf total and says that equated to 9 days of supply. Looking at various other sources there seem

This has reopened (25%) and is excluded from the economist's figures. In fact some research [1] shows that approximately 93 days of supply will be stored in the Rough gas facility at 25% (28Bcf {capacity}/313Mcf {daily}). This is

the $100k thing is referring to the costs of deep learning, in my case these costs torpedoed an otherwise good looking business case. Other things that academics do is to report "human level" results when they mean "10 people

Also remember good old Pearson and his spurious correlations. If you have x/z and y/z and you plot 'em out do not be surprised if there is a corrrelation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spurious_correlatio

Also, for many of the things we would use a QC for we have digital computers, and they pick most of the low hanging fruit... this was not the case when digital computers started out.

My current ML project is funded because the bank regulator said it would have to be done or there would be a big fine. I do not think that there will be a QC project done on the same basis for 40 years.

I will comment: when they came out the idea of patterns captivated a lot of us and it became an article of faith that all code would be designed around a particular pattern. It's still a great idea to use patterns... but I think people

One story I have that I think agrees with you is from when I was looking after my first child. I was left alone to care for her, my wife needed a break and so went away for a night off. Btw, this is a good thing to arrange if you have a fai

Or: allow population to fall and material prosperity as it is. Note: material prosperity is not the same as living standards, as there is more to life than things. There is no reason at all to think that 1Bn humans can't live on earth

Amazing that the article can identify the causal factors that drove inflation during 1965-1982 - such as massive government funding to support a war, and then ignore the change in policy (end of war) that led to the moderation that followed

What Putin accepts or not is irrelevant - it's what the Russian state will accept that counts. Putin is dead in 5-15 years no matter what. Russia should,could,will have 100's of years left if it starts to act 1/2 way sensibly
