I am a big fan of Floyd and his solo stuff. He is not very difficult to see these days, he has been touring non stop for an year now. Maybe you can still catch him. I was wondering if the show discovery space is crowded because of Songkick

I just registered as @darkvibration and put in all the concerts I have been to. Is this a purely personal journal kind of thing or have you been thinking of adding some social feature to it as well? I would love to know your vision/pla

I was skeptical at first too. But man, was I wrong! I have recommended it to about four or five friends so far. Only one read it till the end. And it didn't work so well on him, even though he reduced smoking. Did the book work on your

Yes that's a great book. I am still amazed how well it worked for me. I was a chain smoker smoking 40 cigs a day, and then I read the book and poof! I stopped for good.

I heard that this is related to the arrest of the Kickass torrents admin. But I don't understand why a search engine would need to shut down.

Our final goal is to predict results using deep learning. Good luck to you too!

Yes, this is indeed training data. But you are absolutely right, we would definitely need to inspect and analyze the data for sanity checks. Therefore storing to a DB that has nice analysis features probably makes sense. Thanks for your ans

Thanks, that analysis helped me a lot.

Thanks for making this app. I had a similar idea too, but never executed it. Of course, the idea was based on a certain need. Often, I would have unscheduled events such as "talk to Santosh sometime next week" or "go on a sho

It is possible, but I think if you calculate the probability of the neutral mutations happening in series, this probability is astronomically small. It is possible for all the mutations to appear simultaneously as well. But again, the proba

Thanks for looking into the original document and providing a detailed explanation. You are basically saying that the journalists sensationalized the findings. The researchers do not claim that they traced the most ancient mutation responsi

I think you are talking about something known as hitchhiking mutations. Suppose an organism develops two mutations A and B, which lie close together in the chromosome. A is beneficial and B is neutral. When the chromosome is copied during r

One common objection to the theory of evolution claims that the theory is self contradictory. It says that it is impossible for complex features such as wings, eyes etc to evolve because they will require a series of mutations that do not i

I think this is a perfect example of a pseudo scientific article. The author claims there is no free will based on another claim : "laws of Physics can describe/predict human actions". Physics does not make this second claim,

Are you sure that this has to do with Dark Energy? Dark Energy is an unknown form of energy that must appear in Einstein's equation in order to make the universe accelerate at its current rate. Are you saying that: 1. Dark Energy only

loved it! just one question : when the universe expanded, why did the size of the spheres, the rocket and the asteroid remain constant? shouldn't they expand too?

The article says increase in sleep is surprising, but is it? People consumed far more data (from the internet) in 2014 compared to 2004. One of the known purposes of sleep is to consolidate memories from the day and to convert short term me

It is definitely a step in the right direction. A friend of mine recently tried teaching Python to a class of Neurology students and found that the usual "find all prime numbers less than 100" approach did not work on them! They d
