The market economy in fact solves many problems of 'helping other people' that we have just become so used to that we don't appreciate its complexity. The fact that food is produce…

I think this analysis is completely spot on. Personally, I have had the same thoughts for about a year and I have just switched from a 'pure' ML/DS' to exactly the hybrid engineeri…

People placed a lot more 'art' into their speech than people nowadays. You hear it in the old English of England as well with the particularity of enunciation. Speech was the main …

>Rewriting history is the power of China's censorship system and media control. It's a pretty scary thing actually. Circling back to space, this is a fundamental reason why China w…

>Maybe someone knows the history? You'll need to look up shinjitai, which consists of the simplified characters adopted in Japan, which are different to the ones used in China.

It trickles down by the fact that we all get to enjoy the fruits of technological advances without having to redo the hard work of inventing it. But there's no inherent reason why …

We are facing record unemployment so people are having this happen to them across the board. The people who lost their jobs due to the pandemic but are struggling to find work beca…

The market always prevails over the state. Private schools can only charge as much as the demonstrated quality of their product while the state as the default option is not account…

That wasn't really my point, but go off I guess

In that case, you should read about this hilarious map called the Mercator projection...

If you've been following the field at all (i.e. who the paper is aimed at), the sentence is obvious and non-controversial. There have been many tasks where deep learning has even e…

Trump's shutdown of Huawei is a tactical blinder. I can see no move China can make in response that won't end up harming them more than it will the US. China's mercantilist trade p…

>I work in this field and I flatly reject that the purpose of a ‘business intelligence’ team Good job the article is about data science and not business intelligence then. Cool the…

>CLT talks about sampling from the population infinitely. It doesn't say anything about diminishing returns. I don't get how you go from sampling infinitely to diminishing returns.…

Because it is becoming apparent that China is now the main threat to the West.

The west has culturally moved into a kind of foodie Epicureanism in the past 15 years. This can be seen as a response to economic pressures that young people are facing. When you c…

The US doesn't wish to overthrow the democratic west, however.

We need to weaponise our education system against them. Full tuition for humanities; total restriction of access to science and technology programs. This will cultivate liberalism,…
