Any word on the current genocide being perpetrated by Israel?

Where did you get the 'ideal' 29 number from?

The expected (in statistical sense) number of rotations needed is 32 but it could be as low as 24.

Now that I think it better that means the shuffle was fixed.

' What prevents folks to stay 179 days in Mexico and 179 days in Costa Rica?'

costa rica visa is 90 days maximum for starters

'expats' are very entitled; they want all the conveniences of a 'third world country' (they will call it 'shithole' when their n-th consecutive entry is denied) they want all the cheap rent;services;food ; they want to use the roads; sidewalks; beaches; national parks; police; emergency services but god forbid you ask them to pay income taxes as a local if they are going to work from their host country ' it is preposterous; i already paid 10% vat on my 2 dollar frapuccino'

and now your face is linked to your ip in a db somewhere

i will give you 1 million usd if you find 1 of mine. people are different

> we've had thousands of years awareness & contact with those cultures.

Who is "We" here? Because I would easily bet this is not the case for most of the population in the world

> Anyone who wasn't a catholic was probably considered subhuman by the truly appalling conquistadors

Thanks God for the superior and enlightened British colonizers,you can see the different policies in current native populations in the US compared to the Spanish-ravaged south.

> news to me.

Spoken like one who has not spent 1 min with people with Native-American ancestors.

It didnt. It had a perceived dimming factor of 10:1 which suggests (but does not prove) a "weird" shape

> If there's no market for such pictures, likely less children will suffer the consequences.

The market will always exist: pedophiles. They have been and will be among us until the end of times.

> Fighting the crime directly is important, but so is doing it indirectly.

Yes, but the difference is so abysmal that you know where is more important to put the effort. Stopping even 1 child of being abused is better than stopping the sharing of 1 million child porn pics.

> (0b) A linear transformation f(x) = Ax is its own derivative, f'(x) = Ax

f'(x) is just A , not Ax,

f'(x) != f(x)

Yet Russian people learn the language just as OP did. Those tables serve at best as references to be consulted rarely, not as an organic learning material, that would be insanity.

I really refuse to believe you are a real person acting in good faith. Bur for the sake of your site, the links of your "exhaustive research"(I supppose the first page in some google search) are:

1) An article mentioning how China paid a substantial amount of Euros for a majority holding in the Piraeus port, when the European nations were squeezing Greece. According to Varoufakis, the initial deal was even better for Greece, which China investing a very risky 1.5 billion in greek bonds (essentialy Junk)

2. The second link dont mention China at all, it is just an article about the oil explotaition in Ghana and how it had presumably failed to bring the promised goods to the people in the villages where oil is prospected. Even if true, the promises are made by local politicians, not Chinese bureaucrats.

3) The SriLankan links is about how a journalist feel humilliated because China has been granted the lease of a SriLankan port after lendings up to 5 billion dollars have gone unpaid.

So these are the kind of links you are bringing to the table, multibillion dollar deals in China get some leases, and you are compariung them with 125k USD for 7% of the company. Last time I checked China does not own 7% of Greece, Sri-Lanka or Ghana, so I must conclude you are a dumb person letting his latent racism to take over or you are aware you are acting on bad faith and you just dont care.

"Talks about his gut-reaction against narrow-minded squares.Take the work to google to check if a simple phrase explanation is etymologically correct"

Racism and ethnocentrism, that is his basis

That's why I laugh and laugh about people here,reddit or twitter jerking off about how what a wonderful human philanthropist Bill Gates is, as if among the other awful things MS did is not to have created enforced monopolies in almost all third world countries governments by bribing their officials to accept MS products, and funding FUD campaigns against any movement to open source/free software.

Jog off troll

Nothing of value has been added by having a "feminist" point of view. People (men and women) have been doing archeology for a long time, and the experience of girls and women have been studied (You could argue the extent of course) by countless scholars.

I suppose I dont belong to the enlightened crowd when I dont understand quotes like these:

> “Is e=mc2 a sexed equation? Perhaps it is. Let us make the hypothesis that it is insofar as it privileges the speed of light over other speeds that are vitally necessary to us. What seems to me to indicate the possible sexed nature of the equation is not directly its uses by nuclear weapons, rather it is having privileged what goes the fastest.”

It is, what it is worst it has become a sort of neo cultural imperialism , where white monolingual Anglos tell for example to Latinos that their gendered languages are wrong and must be changed.

Welcome to most of academic publications in the humanities (and recently even in hard-science)

> You know the distribution of the phenomenon under study

If you know the distribution of the phenomenon under study you dont need ML, that is what probability is for.

> or make an explicit assumption and assume the risk of being wrong

No.You have the Bias/Variance tradeoff here.You can make an explicit assumption about your model or not.

> Using (1), you calculate how much data you need so you get an estimation error below x%

This is extremely complicated for anything except the most trivial toy examples, probably not solvable at all and definitely not the way biological intelligent systems (aka some humans) do it.

Meh, if you are not doing the atoms yourself from leptons and quarks then I am not interested.

The prize didnt go to React creators? Well, maybe next year.

There is a thing called "name".One of the strangest things I've seen, is one "famous" people claiming online (I lost the tweet link, so you have to take my word for it) claiming that using a person's name is weaseling out, and must be considered as offensive as using the wrong pronoun.

I am sorry, I will use she/he or the person's name according to the individual preference but I will never say xher/xhum/them/they/xuei, and I will opt for using ONLY that person's name. If that makes me a bigot, so be it.

This is a war and the public is losing. On hand is the technocracy + the established politicians and the other hand are the citizens. They want (and sadly they are being successful) to transform Internet and the software industry in general in a walled-garden, corporate-friendly,sanitized, heavily controlled world, where the things allowed to be discussed are those deemed inconsequential for the people in power and anything challenging the status-quo or even just plain marginal or weird (in any fashion that the people in power do not like) will be at best totally marginalized and at worst outright censored.Our "free world" will be a bland, we-are-all-the-same,walking-on-eggshells, boring,unoriginal dystopia.

These fuckers are using the same playbook of the finance sector, middlemen who provide almost 0 value and extract as much money possible from the system with zero regards from the consequences.

This is just a techbro(well, more like middle aged) story, full of all the usual ingredients:Narcissism, overestimation of their impact on society, virtue-signaling, extrapolating personal experiences to the whole society. Give me better a story about a Turkish butcher(including he calling names to the mom of his competition) any day of the week.

Some feedback:

Have some link in your header clearly named "Course" or "Lessons" as it is right now it is totally confusing.

Embed the videos in your site.

Include the text in your site if possible.

For me it is the best book for language learning I have ever seen, irrespective of the target language.

Same as mine operators employing kids in 19th century England, or current Chinese companies with their fucked 9-9-6 system.

Ha-Joon Chang's 23 Things They Don't Tell You About Capitalism should be mandatory reading for any person commenting online about the modern economic system.
