befeltingu··on ICE using Palantir tool that feeds on Medicaid data
How could a non citizen who came illegally be on Medicaid?
befeltingu··on Espresso coffee mitigates the aggregation of Alzheimer′s associated tau protein
In these large trials I assume they are not trying to separate someone who just drinks black coffee from someone who drinks coffee with a lot of sugar (mochas ect…). So the negative affects of daily consumption of sugar and dairy could offset whatever positive affects might have been possible.
befeltingu··on How Twitter moderated the Covid debate
Oh well if Vanity Fair says it then it must be so

Where are all these white supremacist terrorists and what evidence is there that the FBI gives them a pass?
befeltingu··on Scotland's Hate crime bill: Hate talk in homes ‘must be prosecuted’ (2020)
So the natural progression is for any “hateful” thing said by daddy to be society’s business?
befeltingu··on Anthony Levandowski Pardoned
Oh well as long as buzzfeed claims there are links it’s ok to call someone a white nationalist

Peter Thiel is a white nationalist? Interesting.
befeltingu··on Interactive C++ for Data Science
I have to disagree with your assessment of notebooks. I use them mostly for exploratory data analysis. It’s great for being able to view multiple graphs at the same time, tweak some parameters and see what changes. Then of course being able to easily share your findings. I agree as a development environment it has a lot of drawbacks. Hard to debug and global variables galore. I don’t view them as an end to end solution but as one step in the workflow

Why do you trust the FDA?
befeltingu··on Show HN: An anti-book recommendation tool, to help you escape your echo chamber
I like this tool a lot. I wouldn’t mind having a similar concept applied to YouTube. If you actively try and watch videos from a different viewpoint then your recommendations are all over the place.
befeltingu··on DeepMind Lab2D
That looks pretty slick...

I dont know how much having a nice UI helps with understanding / training but it sure makes it nicer to work with and helps in demonstrating concepts.

befeltingu··on Lets-plot: An interactive Python plotting library using ggplot's API
Ya true. I usually end up jumping around depending on use case. Matplotlib ,seaborn, plotly to name a few.
befeltingu··on Lets-plot: An interactive Python plotting library using ggplot's API
Looks interesting but it feels like this space is a bit crowded with all of the plotting libraries out there for python.
befeltingu··on The first woman PhD in computer science was a nun (2013)
Ok, fair enough I never knew this was a common practice. I was thinking more about today when I made my comment
befeltingu··on The first woman PhD in computer science was a nun (2013)
Nobody is demanding that. It could just be that they want to.
befeltingu··on Joe Rogan Is the New Mainstream Media
Even if I take your description of them their not in the same category. Conspiracy theorist and someone who promotes their own site and books is in the same category? You might disagree with Ben Shapiro and that’s fine but he’s not purposefully pushing misinformation.
befeltingu··on Joe Rogan Is the New Mainstream Media
How is it that you put Ben Shapiro and Alex Jones in the same category? Your bias is clear and so I can see why Joe Rogans openness might not appeal to you
befeltingu··on Longevity Linked to Proteins That Calm Overexcited Neurons
Im not sure what your first point is attempting to accomplish. I said good parents and you are always going to be able to find one off exceptions and people who have seemingly wonky ideas about child rearing. A good parent on average will try and instill those good characteristics you mentioned in all their children whether boys or girls.

If your trying to say that the home care that more traditional or conservative women engage in is fundamental to society than I agree. So why do you want to push women to less fundamental roles in society?

You seem to only few attributes that are traditionally ascribed to men in a negative light. I dont think that bar fights or any other negative activity are necessary that is why men should use their natural tendencies in a good and productive manner as well as should women.

All of the 'positive' traits that you listed have an underlying negative connotation. Assert their own desires, Easily talk in public are not fundamental traits. Im not sure what you mean by 'use their own physical force'. It looks like you view men as mostly toxic.

So you think that men and women should be as indistinguishable from one another as possible? I am one of those people who celebrate diversity by realizing that the differences among genders and cultures ect.. are what makes life interesting.

By erasing gender lines you seem to mean erasing men and making them women. Wouldn't it be healthier for both genders to express their natural attributes in a positive way?

Raise men as girls? What good parent doesnt try and raise there sons do have care and empathy and to be reasonable? Are there any positive traits that you think men possess? You are only taking the negative side of mens tendency for risk taking. Willingness to take risks has many positive benefits like getting to the top management spots you mentioned.
