Please, you are being ridiculous. I would tell you that you mostly produce self-righteous bile to your face or anywhere else. Do you say data or 'STFU' to people's face? You're arr…

How does crazy paranoid stuff get up-voted here? Very Sad. Cheaper countries can be fun, but there's lots of downsides as well. If you are asocial, it could be your dream to live t…

Cool, although I'd suggest not getting to excited about AI itself. It's cool your already focusing on machine learning. A great way to get going in that direction is to check out t…
