I believe you are referring to dividend investing? Investing in a portfolio of stocks that pay higher than average dividends. I'm not an expert in this, but dividend stocks don't n…

If you are able to: 1. Narrow down your GPS coordinate to within the nearest 50 meter radius (really crappy GPS signal.) BUT 2. Are able to use the physical structures surrounding …

Sounds like survivorship or selection bias to me.

I don't think that was the point of my argument. I don't agree that rich people should be above the law, but that doesn't mean I can't disagree with the way the punishments are str…

If you want the rich to not be above the law then the punishment for breaking said law should not be financial in nature. Any punishment that is financial in nature will ALWAYS be …

Although that does not rule out the possibility that it stores data locally and only transmit the recorded payload (since the time of last transmission) with the next legitimate pa…

No, but then that's an issue with the way fines and punishments for said crimes are structured, not the fault of those who takes advantage of the loophole. There are 2 types of fin…

I'm of the view that boring a tunnel is part of his bootstrap plan for bringing the same tech to Mars. It's likely that we will have to dig living spaces underground on Mars and bo…

Is the 'labourer' not a 'consumer'? If all prices fall due to competitive pressure, all consumers and thus all 'labourers' benefit from cheaper goods. Sure, the 'labourer' may not …

I don't think you can attribute his success to luck. Yes he did take risk and yes he was a sociopath in that he didn't care much about how much he had to emotionally torment others…

Self driving cars and public transportation are not mutually exclusive though. Think of how convenient it would be when buses and taxi operate just as easily at night as during the…

Looks like you have to press a button for it to start listening.

Thanks for the detailed reply! I've been interested in the echo and wanted to get into it for a while so I'll definitely dig into flask-ask and try to get up and running with it.

I was just looking for something like this, and as of yesterday I only found this project: https://github.com/anjishnu/ask-alexa-pykit Yours look much simpler to get started, would…

This isn't absolutely true, if ideas are worthless without execution then corporations would never spend millions and millions inside their R&D departments creating inventions whic…

If you're allowed to "hurt the creator's feelings" then which creator would ever create? Jokes aside, your statement is only true under the assumption that the original idea is che…

Based on all the commentaries, it seems that Lee Sedol was really not ahead during the game at any point during the game... and I think everybody has their answer regarding whether…

I really hope his performance isn't going to be affected by this loss, but I think that's a lot to ask of a person. 5-0 to AlphaGo is a big possibility at this point.

Wow, Lee Sedol just resigned. First game goes to AlphaGo. I wasn't sure who would win the 5 matches, but I never expected AlphaGo to win the first game!
