If you, like mr Schuman here, are a journalist I don't think it's your place to be providing media training, at least if you strive for a higher moral standing than the IRS officer working for PWC on the side coming up with tax ev

The argument from the parliament and the commission has always been that if the UK wants the single market it gets the other bits too, with freedom of movement being the biggest issue. Obviously britons would still be able to get into the E

> Censorship by private corporations and government is not the answer. You yourself complain about lack of reporting about an issue, lack of truth, and then you go on to celebrate the spreading of lies? Fake news are basically just lies

True enough, but the damage is more nebulous and potentially greater. Also, will bag of words work well for news?

We are always dying, and I doubt Facebook kills much faster than HN as most of the lethality comes from sitting still while reading. Of course, FB comes with extra stress for some, but I don't know how the cyber bullying on FB stacks u

Why not just: v = np.array([2,3,1]).T is there something wrong with numpys convenience method for transpose but not matlabs postfix unary convenience operator?

Part of the world has entered the post-truth age, the spirit of the times likes a good story better than the facts, and if you speak facts you'll be damned by them. Just look at the article itself, doesn't actually say anything ab

While I'm sure there is some perverse way of defining "innovation" that can muster up enough factual basis to count as a half truth for some drunk in a gutter, I suggest you consider the less extreme position that technologic

A group in this context is a set of persons who share a property, in this case their gender. As to the larger point you are trying to make, I'm sorry, you didn't manage to make one. It is true that any given person can be simultan

Buying an 8 year old car means buying a used car, no? In that case you are comparing the polluting factory to no factory at all. Fleets of self driving cars are called public transport or taxis (depends on your preference), and have been ar

It's 50 MW per borehole, a power station typically generates power from a largish number of holes. A big geothermal plant on Iceland can have 30 boreholes, which with the new method could then produce 1.5 TW, 54 % of total capacity. Of
