Marriage takes constant effort, and priorities change.
Yet, after so many years one thing is certain, my SO knows me better than anybody else and nobody knows her better than I do.
We are both flawed, but we rely on each other and know that we can. Right now our shared responsibility is the kids. Everything else is secondary. Who knows where things will go once the kids don't need us any more. But one thing is for sure, I will always respect and support her.
The stork brought them don't cha know, so that I could raise them.
She kept her last name, the kids have mine.
The ultimate irony is that she has been raised by hippie parents, is as liberal as they come, and considers herself an atheist. Yet, I was her first boyfriend and she was a virgin when we met.
You are barking up the wrong tree. Maas is a conservative politician. Enforcing laws that have been on the books since the beginning of the Federal Republic of Germany.
If the people don't like it, they can send Merkel and Maas packing in the upcoming federal election.
Not gonna happen though. The majority of Germans supports these hate speech laws.
Think of it as radical centrism. And at least in Germany the center will hold this time.
The party in power was elected through the democratic process, and the party in power decided what had to be banned. The party democratically elected by the german people was removed from power in 1945 by a foreign invader.
BS. The Nazi's did not have a majority in the parliament. Hindenburg made Hitler chancellor, thinking he could be controlled. Instead the Nazis dismantled the parliament. And made sure it never reopened after the convenient Reichstag fire.
Many Germans gave the Nazis their vote as a protest vote against the established elite (that included my grandfather), not realizing that this was to be their last vote.
Until his death my grandfather was mad as hell that Hitler tricked the country into another war. After the experience of WW1 there was absolutely no appetite for yet another war. His oft repeated lament was that he only talked about peace until he had his dictatorship firmly entrenched.
Totally makes sense then to vote for a billionaire, at least with him you can be totally sure about his attitude towards the plebs. No surprises.
Pretty much the entire Trump presidency so far goes as was to be expected.
I guess if you feel you're in the shitter voting for a shit show has a certain perverse logic to it. Won't help you, but at least you get to piss off a lot of people.
Since I get to observe this form a distance I must admit it is entertaining. Trump always amused me.
Part affiliation and loyalty is a reality that you ignore at your own peril. To pretend that these politicos are somehow all magically independent from their party doesn't even pass the laugh test.
These days it's pretty much the only thing they do. I am old enough to remember when they actually had somewhat competent politicians who could run an administration.
"Oh the hardship that I am not allowed to use deep learning!"
Deep learning just doesn't cut it if you need accountability. On the other hand they could do all they wanted, and more, if they understood how to apply Bayesian networks and probabilistic graph theory.
Bayesian Nets, can incorporate expert knowledge, and they allow for parameter and structure machine learning.
The have been extensively used for diagnostics, and they give a valid statistics for the most probable diagnostic, based on the data that they have been trained with.
The VCs I talked to, who were interested in this sector, all started sitting on their funds ever since Trump came into power. It's just not clear how these programs will be affected.

Now you tell me? I've been happily married for almost twenty years and have three kids.
It's implied mostly via nonverbal cues on both sides.
Oh boy.
Let me help you. Here's my million dollar tip:
Ask for a date first before you ask for sex.
You can thank me later.

You really need to research this better.

Nothing like some patriotic competitive vigor to get the funds allocated.
Much better use of resources than an arms race.

Since you don't seem to be able to speak German, you'll be fine.
Jamie Dimon didn't get to his position by running retail banking.
The dollar value on the derivative books these days is larger than all net activity in the non financial sector of the economy.

That illustrates to the none-American readers how Trump happened.

"It's pretty sad when you're more worried about the party of the Senator who introduced the bill than what they bill covers."
Why is that sad? It's a bit of information that should have been included, after all the legislation was explained.
Adding that this comes from a Democrat would have made clear, that there is zero chance of this going anywhere at this time.
It would have also conveyed who you have to vote for, if you want to have these kind of laws.
Color me biased, but I think that's kinda important.
For sure. It's what they do.
These days it's pretty much the only thing they do. I am old enough to remember when they actually had somewhat competent politicians who could run an administration.
Damn, I feel old ...
... but would it have been too much to ask, to mention that he is of course a Democrat.
I hear this all the time from bank IT folks.

This kind of AI is computationally and conceptually somewhat more expensive, but there is really no valid reason why medical diagnostic systems shouldn't follow this paradigm. Especially since recent research shows that these networks are also surprisingly robust with regards to their parameter settings.
Some decisions are too important to just entrust to an ANN black box. In Bioinformatics it amounts to programming malpractice.
Apparently you never heard of Nixon.
The system is working the founding fathers designed it well. No need for violence.

Well said.
Oh right, didn't read this properly. No much to worry about in European remote places (no bears anyhow, but wolfs are making a comeback).
