As predicted, the article doesn't contain any genome wide association study to back up its claim in the title that entrepreneurs "don't have a gene for risk". Instead they present another causal factor for creating start

Why do hourly employees care how long your lunch break is? At least in the US it's usually not counted as work time. Assuming people clock out for the lunch break, I don't see why they'd care if it's 30m or 2hr, since

> Greenland is a poor country. Perhaps Denmark simply wants to help out the many Inuit & Danes & descendants of both. This is ethically reprehensible. Greenland is poor, but compared to many African countries it is fabulously wea

It's kind of an inverse problem. Once you put the planets in position you can (reasonably easily?) simulate their oribts with some noise. The idea is that the neural network would try to quickly approximate which planet configuration

Is there any way to use inkscape and have it seamlessly integrate with sharelatex? I'd be kind of concerned about using sharelatex with inkscape PDFs, and then forget about or lose the folder with the inkscape source files.

"Is there any reason, specific to Japanese tradition/convention/bureaucracy to keep the name of the era secret until one month before the actual change?" Yes.

"Race itself is a social construct." What do people mean by this exactly? I've heard some people make the case that the exact boundaries between ethnic groups can be socially constructed, which makes sense to me (like how on

I'm a US citizen, and my worst experience has been with Canadian border patrol (I'm not saying this is general, just my experience).

Do you just work remotely then? That's pretty cool if you can work somewhere else and draw an SF-level income.

At least in my experience, I don't see any pressure to not submit if you don't review (I'm in ML though, so could be different in other fields). I think why people review is: -You should be reading more papers anyway and w

I think some people buy multiple copies or order over and over again, so the actual probability is high relative to other items (because as others have said, the total number of items is huge). I think maybe the real mistake is that someone

The breastfeeding research seems like peak "bad science", because there's so much obvious confounding between the causes of breastfeeding as a behavior and the properties of the child. I probably would suspect minimal effect

Aren't you creeped out by what could happen if companies started applying this same reasoning to their customer's private communications, even discussions in their own homes - and using that as a justification for blocking access

"If you don't know how genes affect intelligence you don't actually have any useful theory to go by. You also don't know how to judge the effect size of genetics against other causes. These are highly non-linear, complex

I kind of think war could happen, not for the reasons you listed, but because the odds of the US winning such a war might be good but will only go down with time, which is the kind of dynamic that leads to aggression.

I made a video that actually analyzes the data behind this. Basically the entry-level of the field is about 50% Chinese and the more experienced levels are about 10-20% Chinese. On the other hand only perhaps 5% of work actually comes fro

To be frank - the problem is not poorly defined, you're just not aware of the definition. In general in generative models, you have some "true data distribution" P and an estimator distribution Q. The goal is to make P and Q

There are a few things to say about this: 1. If you train a conditional GAN to do image inpainting (for example, left to right), it should be quite apparent the degree to which the model is copying and pasting the training set - by running

I don't really agree. Ultimately making food is an extremely repetitive process (at least for fast food) and that's where AI excels. I think that if the robot is really transparent and there's a human inspecting, then people

The winner is almost guaranteed to be a conformist, given that the organization selecting the winner is part of the dominant, mainstream power structure. So expect the winner to be, paradoxically, someone who is completely obedient.
