Put it this way. There's always one person who gets a bit too riled up in the mob. Maybe they'll say something like "yeah we should kill politician xyz!!!!!" If it's in public, chances are, more normal people (who h

It suddenly occurred to me that the idea of enslaving a class of people under the promise of the "American Dream" is the modern rehash of when the British would put Indian soldiers in the vanguard and promise any who survived imme

This isn't about politics. This isn't abstract. This is about what we are seeing right now being a manifestation of trying silence a group and that it can get even worse. A politician was assassinated in the UK suspected (read:

Actually I think there's more nuance than simply whether or not to silence certain views. The problem with the alt-right is that it is an idea. Ideas are very hard to kill by censorship and when you do let them "fester" they

I appreciate that you've given a pretty topline overview but in the 90/10 example, if that 10% can be characterised and/or clustered can the algorithm be optimised for both groups involved? Appreciate that that's not alw

Curious to learn about your experiences as a digital nomad in Japan. Did you rent a place? Did you have to pay the rental gift for renting the place? What did you do about working - would you work from home or out? What sort of places would

But one of the main "in-groups" of the Trump supporter base were the working class. In its current form "diversity" is nothing more than a weapon for classism. We are completely fine understanding root causes and bias wh

Meanwhile the gap between the 1% and everyone else widens. Globalization has indeed helped to level global inequality, but this has come at the erosion of the quality of life for ordinary citizens of developed countries, while lining the po

More importantly, consider how much more empowered malicious state-backed entities become. At the moment we can only be surveilled (which is plenty terrifying). What happens when we can be physically influened remotely at scale

In the UK you're usually paid full salary though and garden leave is rarely longer than 3 months iirc.

Lack of wage growth (and accompanying erosion of quality of life) is already a major issue. Why would you suggest that the employee pay a cost for accepting a fair workers agreement (no non-compete clause)? At least suggest that salaries be

It's hard to know the full truth from a truncated post on the internet with limited other context, but it's advisable to take it as it is and not project so much of your own opinion on it. It's impossible to know the trust-dy

That's awesome thanks. Its always been intuitive for me that texture would affect how air mixes with food in the mouth and would also affect flavour distribution of sauces in the mouth but its good to see someone put actual study into

Personally, I don't find such topline metrics that helpful. If India improves by some margin (noting that it is a country with relatively more space to grow than a developed nation) then the averages for the whole World would improve,

Whereas the cost of finding the Higgs Boson was only a mere $13.25Bn, cheap compared to all those pesky extortionate SV engineers... As others have said, good research costs money...

It definitely seems like the wonder material of wonder materials, the main struggle has been to mass produce/commercialise it. I believe manipulating it is also non-trivial.

Why is it ideal that someone has been coding before college? Simply because they have that many more years experience than everyone else. You may even be able to argue that coders are amongst the only people who have a non-negligible likeli

this would obviously be a fun thing to do, but I wonder how much larger the code will get via this means of obfuscating. Maybe space isn't a concern in your use case though...

The problem with academic science is threefold: 1: you are expected to feel privileged for doing something you vaguely enjoy. (how many people actually enjoy running columns and NMRs at 12am?) 2: you are expected to be altruistic in your am
