Non-ionizing radiation is certainly able to have effects on biological systems, and there is no reason to believe that effects are strictly neutral or positive. Calling these facts 'anti-science' is blatantly asinine.
I'm curious, why not?
>It's not just a question of there being a huge pool of money, you can buy a car with loans and car prices haven't skyrocketed. The obvious difference is that car loans are not Federally issued and defaults are…
The Fed is not focused on the stock market. When they improve the status of the economy through monetary policy, they indirectly improve the value of publically listed companies. This makes sense, because companies are…
Hey do you have a link to some more information on your one-shot learning algorithm? Sounds interesting, thanks.
What software do you use to rename PDF files and extract their metadata automatically? I have found this difficult to accomplish, despite trying multiple different tools. PDFs from Arxiv are commonly a problem.
Yes a blog post would be terrific, thanks.
Hi, I'm interested in program execution state and the different ways it can be represented/modelled. The "relational model" you describe sounds very interesting. Do you have a technical whitepaper on this topic, or…
Are you talking about the yield curve or credit spreads? Either way, as far as I understand they are independent variables to the absolute value of federal fund rate -- what matters more is the stage in the business…
Hi, would you happen to have any additional information on #3? (links to companies that require these services and/or industry reports)? I am work with technology that might be useful for this type of application.…
I think labelling one side of this debate as "pro-science" and the other as not, is disingenuous. Science at its core is about scepticism and degrees of certainty - never about absolute truth (see: inductive logic,…
The thing is, "good for the world" is a subjective notion. In my studies of philosophy I am yet to find any system of ethics that provides an objective and universal definition of right and wrong - if you find one,…
Just to be clear, most insurance companies have very strict risk management policies and almost exclusively invest capital in government bonds. As you are probably aware, these bonds have had very low rates of return in…
Are you suggesting that such a scenario would be worse than the current situation - nVIdia having a monopoly on DL hardware?
I think you'll find that birthrates are negatively correlated with education level, so globally the reverse is happening (with regards to your breeding theory). But more generally, the reason why evolution works is…
I don't see how this study is 'presuming' anything. The results section quite early explores the creation between genetic and non-genetic factors: > To test whether intelligence mediates the observed association between…
In which jurisdiction?
Mods, could you please indicate in the title that the validity of this letter has not yet been verified. The attribution in the title: "(The DAO hacker)" assumes that this is an authentic letter.
Just out of interest, what was the outcome when your accounts were closed because of Bitcoin? Did you lose any funds?

Who would buy coins (or mine) on a unofficial Zcash network? I can't imagine many people would expend resources supporting an unofficial network since one of the major risks of a zero-knowledge protocol is that the…
Ues but not everyone can link Bitcoin addresses to individuals. Bitcoin has poor privacy in theory, but the practice of actually deanonymizing is non-trivial. Also since it is an open system, improvements are possible.
How do you decide what is right and what is wrong? I don't think a world where you can only act with 'permission' from a certain group pf people is sustainable or enviable. It's surprising how little people agree on…
