I suppose I am compelled to get one too. Not that I want one, it's just that I already have his books - and methinks he deserves a little extra money for this video.

Isn't the solution to simply have two NNs? One trained to identify leopards, another trained to identify sofas. Regardless of how computationally expensive NNs may be now, wait a few years, and then train millions of them on different

It depends on where you work and who you work with. For the most part I'd say it is discussed with about the same frequency as masturbation. That doesn't mean there is a taboo - just that it is often inappropriate to discuss at wo

Australia? It is legal here. It isn't something people talk about much, but that doesn't mean it is a taboo.

While it is trivial to find a single solution to the problem presented at the end of this article, does anyone have a nice general one? Please share if so.

I've heard this can give you interesting waking nightmares and is a form of torture. Are you certain you want to try it?

For a humorous take on this situation, may I recommend reading Catch 22.

Heels accentuate the legs. I agree though, there's something very attractive about a woman in slacks, sneakers, and a loose-fitting Guns-N-Roses tshirt.

http://www.globaltimes.cn/content/922351.shtml Yes this is just one article, but it doesn't mention anything about post-birth selection. That would be terrible. I just don't believe it is happening at scale -

Nobody is implying baby girls are being killed, just that a significant portion of couples are choosing to have boys instead of girls.

A Modest Proposal by Jonathan Swift, mentioned in the article, is well worth reading. It is a gruesome and utterly deadpan joke.

Because it is unnecessary in English, when you refer to something inanimate as male or female it implies you have an emotional attachment. I refer to my car as 'it', my girlfriend calls it a 'she'. When she parked it int

I figured the settlement would gradually expand. Someone has to be born on Mars while we're there, don't they? The first Martian.

Isn't the survival of our species in the event of a global catastrophe half the reason we want some people living on Mars? Surely five of those people should be women.

This makes no sense to me. Ulster Unionist Party had 114,935 votes and got two seats. UKIP had 3,841,346 votes and got one seat. Conservative had 11,207,547 votes and received 326 seats.

The horror movie tie-in practically writes itself. It may just be a better idea for a horror movie than an actual game.

This sometimes happens to me if I am not in the mood, need to be doing something else, or if the book is badly written. Some text books need to be read with concentration. But if something is good, it is more like a trance - I'll &#x27

Perhaps you only visited after the gate was opened? This zone was very busy on PvP servers, because of the horde v alliance competition to open the gate to AQ first. I thought the AQ raids were quite enjoyable also. When else has a warrior
