Yeah, that New Zealand imperialism has been getting out of hand lately.
No, he's not.

There is a brilliant new book (albeit somewhat advanced) that I don't see in this list: Introduction to Python for Econometrics, Statistics and Data Analysis (2014) by Kevin Sheppard. PDF available for free here:…
you may not want the enemy to know you're sending a fleet of fighter jets in their direction.
Nobody pointed this out yet. It would be very interesting to keep finding such perturbations that mess up learning and repeatedly add the new-found examples to the training set, retraining the model in the process. I…

Amazing, thank you for this link.
You don't understand my point. If you look at human psychology, things connected to power are often fascinating, but not always in the "I'm going to get the other guy and beat the shit of him" way. Young boys are…
Being of strategic value, space was political from day one. Nothing ever done in space was entirely apolitical. AAMOF, there would be no exploration at all without politics. So get used to it.
Umm, have you been living under a rock during the past two months?
Not surprising, considering that, recently, Putin has implied, half-jokingly, that the Internet is a CIA plot (Yandex stock fell almost instantly as that happened).
Russian state TV is complete Volksempfänger at the moment.
I think you wouldn't be downvoted if you just wrote, "Non-optional bicycle lanes make this unavoidable".

You are not seeing the full picture. There is no "gay mafia". I have gay friends who are wonderful people, and I support their right to marry. Some of my biggest idols in tech are gay. What scares me, however, is that…
I didn't take it personally, was just having fun with words and certain populist stereotypes.

Thank you for your response. You bring up some good points, but I would like to contest others. First, I agree that humans should probably not "devolve" into flowers (although "devolve" is a funny word -- technically,…
Philosophical question (don't take offense, please): Why should we be rewarding "unlucky" gametes? Please note that I don't consider the likely answer "because they have something useful to contribute to society" as a…
Now Mark Jason Dominus is often wrong when it comes to his political opinions, but he's rarely wrong about programming, and your tone is just way too negative for seemingly no reason. Of course he's missing selection…
Because most people would rather support their allies and people who like them, rather than playing the hand of people who hate them. This is actually a tragic situation. I don't want to comment further.
Absolutely shameful that this is the top comment. People on HN have no idea about geopolitics and what danger Russia represents to countries like Poland and the Baltics. The West should now be speaking in unified voice…
Any examples of (2) -- or links to something that discusses this phenomenon? Thanks.
Yea, better burn that oppressive cis-heteronormative literature before it triggers a micro-aggression. Also don't forget to send the authors to a Gulag.
