I would say you can define most of machine learning as statistical function approximation. I would also add that the theoretical justifications are indeed important and most good texts find some way to justify the computational methods described.
That said, there are many methods in the literature that are heuristic in nature and for which there are no obvious theoretical justifications.

It's always possible to reciprocate in other ways. Life becomes very bleak when every exchange is viewed as some kind of financial transaction. Part of the art of being poor is graciously accepting people's generosity without requesting it in the first place. If your friends feel badly about accepting your offer of a meal then, in my opinion, I would say their perspective is skewed.
I think the rich don't want to be around the poor because of their preconceived notions about the poor. I am poor because I have a disability that destroyed my career and makes it nearly impossible to hold a job. While I sometimes stress about money, I am largely happy because I don't measure my self-worth by how many possessions I have or by the amount of money I have in my bank account. Positive relationships are more important. Doing something you love is more important. If the rich have trouble forming positive relationships or doing what they love because of how much money they have, then my suggestion would be to give it away.
I have always been concerned about the plight of the entire species, and have at times oriented my career path in the direction where I thought could do the most good. It isn't easy being one of the few who thinks in terms beyond four year election cycles, especially when most of my fellow earthlings could seem to care less. What really gets me is people who insist on having children, but continue to engage in activities and take actions that compromise the integrity of the planet.
I Googled AwesomeSuperWhizzoCrap, but all I got was a link back to this post. Please tell me where I can get this AwesomeSuperWhizzoCrap. I can't stand having viruses on my machine!
Clearly this man should have had a barbecue and several cylinders of propane in his car instead! The police would have certainly let him be if that were the case.
Most bipolars when they're manic have no insight into the fact that they are manic. This allows them to gleefully destroy their lives without realizing that they are doing so. I know this because I am bipolar. The last time I was manic I quit my job, spent enough money to ensure bankruptcy, and committed a criminal offence. If you are bipolar and someone thinks you're displaying signs of mania, the best thing to do is go to the hospital.
Yes it is crazy to believe in a pink invisible unicorn, because there simply isn't any evidence that one exists. Just as there isn't any evidence to suggest that God exists either. Claiming that God is somehow necessary for the universe to come into existence is not evidence, because there are other possibilities and nobody knows for certain which is correct. If you want a plausible alternative look up some of the various multiverse hypotheses.
Furthermore, if something has to be created in order for it to exist then what created God? Did God create himself? Did he always exist? Does he exist outside of space and time? If any of these are possibilities for God, then why not for some other natural mechanism?
I sorta got the impression that they were mocking the Caligula of the Far East who's doing the subjugating. The US gubmint isn't going to remove him, because he doesn't have any oil, so this is pretty much all we can do.
Why does it always have to be the US that must remove these insane dictators? We fought our revolution and civil wars, now fight yours!
And exactly how do you think that's going to work. We're talking about a starving, unarmed populace, most of whom have been thoroughly brainwashed and are terrified by the secret police. How does somebody start a revolution in that kind of environment?
It seems as if these people knew their network was infected, resorted to bandaid solutions (like putting tape over webcams), and then continued to wonder why their systems were failing. You simply cannot trust a system once it's been compromised. It may have been a real hassle to rebuild all the company's servers, but ultimately less costly since business wouldn't be interrupted as much. Thankfully, they won the lawsuit so it doesn't matter any more.
The reason that these reactors are so good is that they are nearly 100% efficient. Given that level of efficiency and the abundance of thorium, we could power our civilization for 100K+ years with the reserves on Earth alone.

If the rich feel that being wealthy is too stressful, maybe they should try being poor instead.

Which is why USB ports should be disabled on computers that interact with the reactor.
Be very careful when you're manic...
Most bipolars when they're manic have no insight into the fact that they are manic. This allows them to gleefully destroy their lives without realizing that they are doing so. I know this because I am bipolar. The last time I was manic I quit my job, spent enough money to ensure bankruptcy, and committed a criminal offence.

Even if Dropbox implemented encryption, it would still be inferior to using something like PGP or Truecrypt (http://www.truecrypt.org/).
I like your position of advocating the fallacy of argument from authority, especially when it concerns metaphysics.
Thank you, well put!
I can't believe this was modded insightful...

Your math is wrong. In fact, she would have 100000x1.03^600 assuming each year has 200 trading days. This equates to around 5 billion dollars.
Ok people we need donations of tinfoil for this operation! Please send us your hats!
And this is why I refuse to upgrade my iPhone and iPad, and probably never will.
Comparing a speaker to an iMac, that's rich.
What about randomly generated passwords such as: fMqg3v6rdS37w4T5

C'mon, it ain't that hard.
1. Post it on Github
2. Make everyone think it's free to use.
3. Sue everyone you can get your hands on who do.
4. Profit
You forgot the ???
Obligatory, Noooooooooooooooo!!!!!

Nice demo. However, based upon my experience in computer vision, moving this into the real world will be extremely challenging.
