That's presumably because most people who frequent this forum don't fall into the same tax bracket as I do. Ever read Les Miserables? When it's the difference between making the ca…

While I applaud your efforts to eat well, I'd posit that with some attention, you could measurably decrease the expense if you factor in certain foods and factor out others. For ex…

You're welcome! After reading a few paragraphs I realized it was going to be largely anecdotal, so I figured paring it down would save some people ten or twenty minutes. I agree, h…

Pretty long article that I doubt most will read in its entirety, if at all. It was, however, a good read about social engineering, and I've summarized the points made and the solut…

The last sentence of the abstract does a good job of this: >"Based on the present results, we propose that psilocybin with psychological support is a treatment approach that potent…

As much of a pity that, 70 years later, we are still using transistor based computers originally derived from three wires stuck in a piece of rock[1] by some very innovative fellow…

Both of the instances you mention would almost certainly rely or result on, and from, what intelligence might be shared or derived from having that frantic phone call or backroom d…

My only comment is to applaud an absolutely fantastic effort. Well done, and thank you for such a comprehensive yet accessible set of steps to become more well versed in deep learn…

Thank you for clarifying that for me. I recall reading some article about how, when mining for bitcoin (for example), what was really being mined are progressively larger prime num…

> Indeed, the P100 is twice as fast and the K80, but due to the huge cost premium, it’s not cost effective for this simple task. Am I reading the graph wrong, or is this statement …

Thank you for the explanation. What I find interesting, in addition to your description of the price elasticity being at issue, is precisely _what_ a bitcoin represents. In fact, w…

Not that this necessarily applies to your situation, but for those who might otherwise be dissuaded, it is very doable to install solar panels on the ground to accommodate what req…

Thanks for making my point for me. Every one of your statements is in some way a defense of the current mass media structure. Even your counterexamples of public news sources maint…

Without sounding pedantic, I think it's fair to say that the mass media put out a LOT of material into the public domain merely to acquire the largest market share of attention. It…

Fair point, I didn't realize that the Philippines were predominantly Christian. I really didn't want to go about defending Christianity necessarily, though I realize that is how th…

Not sure why you have to point at the members of the Christian religion as the culprit, when there are people of similarly zealous ilk in each and every religion besides Christiani…

Thanks for the praise, and for the insight per your experience. Sounds like a great gig! I looked you up, and see that you are likely working exclusively in Haskell, but thought yo…

I think it helps to understand that the financial sector provides capital that serves to energize virtually every other sector in every industry. Without finance, there is no biome…

They (Google) have a feature built-in to the search engine so that if you put all the terms you want to absolutely see in quotes, for example: "tomato seeds grow", it won't return …

> A local newspaper and a news channel picked up the story. The throng turned into a flood of visitors taking selfies with the plane. India's aviation minister came visiting, as di…

You're both right. Extensive practice is essential to getting one's self to the point where creativity can take over, where the muscle memory can 'meld' with one's expression of wh…

Humans would not be identically conscious on a different planet because our consciousness is dependent on the environment in which it exists. Even a cursory definition of conscious…

Most of what your brain does is statistical reasoning. Much of the rest is logical inference. You choose words in the order you choose them because as a child, your mind learned th…

The fun size bags have one serving, but even so I doubt that doritos, en masse, are to blame for obesity. It's the accompanying sedentary lifestyle that is the real culprit. If we …

Not be too persnickety, but your math doesn't add up. 67+17 = 84 45+34 = 79
