You're right. Asking for help from like minded people lets you laugh and watch unpopular people die. Just having the government do it imposes some fairness.
I've dealt with a lot of bureaucracies, both governmental and corporate. I think the corporate ones are far worse from a consumer point of view.
You're assuming that the experiments are trivial to run. A $1MM study should be reviewable on the merits of the study/data assuming that the author is honest. Because otherwise, it's too expensive to get new ideas out there.
Well, yeah, just deep q learning. I'm not saying deep q learning wasn't important when deepmind applied it to atari games; I'm saying as far as I can tell alphago took existing tech and applied it to go. Hence, less interesting. Because alphago isn't advancing the state of the art.
Now, I have no reason to think this is more important than deep q learning....
AlphaGo, so far as I can tell, was just Deep Q Learning applied to a different game with more hardware resources. This is a different coding paradigm. I consider that far more interesting.
I think most people on/. consider hiding behind pseudonymity is the difference. FB doesn't offer that. (Even if the name were pseudonymous, your nodes connections in the graph and other data, deanonymize you really quickly).
Maybe a cheaper phone would work just as well. Maybe they're using the latest features. Keep in mind the OP's argument is not that there are cheaper phones that should be used instead. It was that $700 is too much for an item with a 2 year lifespan. That certainly doesn't seem unreasonable to me.
You have a strange nonsequetor with the car analogy -- amortizing a cost to determine if its appropriate doesn't seem related at all to "suckering someone with financing options".
I don't know why people pay $700 for a device they only keep for 1-2 years.
That's less than a dollar a day. Hardly seems like much if you use it a lot. If you don't, you might as well get a dumbphone which works out to a couple bucks a year.
Macs can dual boot. I'm sure there is at least one mac user who had WannaCry hit their Windows version, and it encrypted the data files on their OSX partition.
The summary says Apple failed to show its products were superior to its competitors. Two sentences later, it says Apple's users data is only retained for 6 months, unlike its competitors which retain it for longer. Does it not realize that answers the question conclusively about which is superior?
Why would anyone go to GCP? The prices are identical to AWS, and third party tools currently "planned for" integration with GCP are currently integrated for AWS. Also, Amazon does not have a reputation of abruptly terminating services.
I say this not just to be dismissive, but as someone about to roll out a new project, and planned to do so on AWS. Right now would be a damn good time for me to jump to GCP.
If you replace "serve as a journalistic source" with "feed their family" and "disclosed classified data" with "stole/dealt drugs", I think you end up with a far more sympathetic case for miscarriage of justice. Of course, not one that affects Snowden personally, so, you know.
But Europe already has right-of-ways for high speed trains, which could be used for the hyperloop. And Musk is just discovering that those right of ways are the hardest part (which seemed obvious a while ago.).
Now, Europe has those right of ways, because they already have high-speed trains, so they don't need the hyperloops....
Apparently 14 to 21 units is in this study categorized as moderate drinking. It sounds like rather a lot to me.
It depends what a "unit" is. As there are four "units" in a glass of wine, and 6-9 units (in a short time) to be legally impaired with driving (depending on body mass). So, someone having a glass of wine with dinner every night is well over the 21 units.
Okay, who leaked the information about how they spotted the leak source?
Well, this has been public knowledge for a while. Most famously, Tom Clancy wrote about it Patriot Games. It usually comes up in real life when idiots try to print money with a desktop printer.
Did Russia make Hillary collapse on their way to their car?
Did Russia murder Seth Rich, DNCâ(TM)s Director of Voter Enhancement? He was the Sanders supporter who was shot 4 times while on the ground in a âoebotched robberyâ in which nothing was taken.
Quite possibly; you can lose a lot of money betting against Russian wet ops.
It's totally a free market, the US government freely decided to buy epipens and only epipens. There is one source for epipens.. Okay, technically the US Government gave money to the schools and forced them to use some of that to buy epipens, but that's also a free market transaction -- the schools can decline the money and the mandate.
I'm not sure what you mean by "Crony Capitalism", but I assume that means "free markets didn't do what I wanted it to do and/or free markets didn't magically make prices lower". But I'm not sure what step you think isn't a free market?
Oh, if you're about to say "taxes", then feel free to live somewhere else -- don't live in the US (and renounce your US citizenship) and you won't pay US taxes.
There are probably other remedies than just shortening the patent term. For instance, mandatory licensing. Or, more significantly, there can be a price set on epipens, by law. You know, something like "an epipen must be sold for no more than $150, and less if the person makes less than N".
Capital costs exist in any industry. You need to own a mine to get into mining. You need to own land to farm. And you need to prove you're not selling rat poison in the pills. I don't see what the issue is.
I mean, its possible that the regulations are overreaching. But it seems far more likely they are a reaction to something.
why not debate it, and the best way of thinking will surely win based on merit, no?
I don't see why you would think that. Even in a most libertarian view of the world, there would have to be consequences associated with being wrong (e.g. investing in magic beans), or there's no reason not to just choose the lie you like best.

No, HFT bots don't bother lying. They don't need to. HFT bots hear person A asking to buy X for Y; They hear person B offering to sell X for Z, Z
And me without modpoints.
Best thing anyone's said so far - most have been generic shit talking about her. But you made a very nice, constrained point.

I typically only have one trusted device at a time. What makes you think I trust my cellphone?
I'm wondering about the campaign contributions these consist of, if only some members of the ballot have access.
What's App is going to stay free. It makes a profit with ads and user data. See also: Google, Facebook.

Men should probably be posting and contributing pseudonymously as well.
