Even Einstein I would not say didn't have formal training. He had been in and around academia for most of his life. He was obviously far ahead of the curve, but he did accumulate the formal training. His stint in a regular job was more

Any brand who cares should dislike Amazon. As a consumer, at least half of anything I order on Amazon is fake, and Amazon gives no indication of caring at all. Hence, if I order a pair of Nike shoes on Amazon, there is a good chance I recei

Amazon here literally delivers the same day, or the next. On the downside, many items are now Chinese fakes. So for brand products, I tend to not use amazon anymore, as it is basically a fake marketplace. If available, I always use the web

There are economic involved. Long term, it pays to have many variable load generation in the grid, because they are cheap and environment friendly. But a net needs to be handled exactly to match supply to cost, and demand has a large random

Really not that easy, except if you can everything the same, aka go back in time. Otherwise, causal inference is sadly not easy.

I am a stats guy, and sklearn did confuse the hell out of me when I tried to use it as such, but I have to agree with others here. The issue is not how regression works, the issue is that sklearn does not do stats at all! The use case you t

I have been using PopOS on my secondary, private laptop for two years. I installed it on a whim, and it just works for me. Nothing spectacular, just polished. Always been happy with it. Perhaps that's the biggest compliment for an OS?

Here is the wikipedia article on the theoretical basis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_discrimination Many forms of price discrimination, like menu pricing or 2-part tariffs, as well as group pricing, are used eve

Yes, this is what economists simply call price discrimination and for any normal business it is definitly illegal. This is a grey zone now, but it will be decided that either it is illegal now, or it will be made illegal eventually. So I&#x

It's literally enough that the system can match ~some~ users to just one exact URL. That's a working system, you will see.

The purpose of this system is to censor the internet, no? Isn't that enough? But that being said, I do not believe that hashes are enough, because all they really need is to know you visited one (hash of) a certain website out of thous

They are sending data to what is essentially a state-owned company that can facilitate building user profiles (with enough compute) and is, besides that, explicitly used to censor the web. What is not to understand? Apple should send precis

Yeah but that site had mentioned phones officially supported, and then no longer. It doesn't answer the question which of these phones is a viable one to get now to have Lineage support. Clearly, its not better to get a newer one, it i

The advantage here is that they sell phones. It is very difficult to install Lineage OS, as it is completely unclear which phone one should buy to install it. There isn't a single viable answer online for the question: "Which phon

I personally run AMD at home, but in all the benchmarks I have seen, Intel wins by a large margin in AVX enabled tasks - often double the speed. Downclocking did not seem to be a factor here. I think saying that Intel wins in AVX tasks is a
