It'd make sense if you were writing out some Boolean expressions or trying to present something with formal logic. But you're writing English here so it seems inappropriate to a) ditch conventional grammar and b) pass off the crit

One thing I don't get is how they sustain themselves in terms of income - does anyone know what they do to support their lifestyle? Just really curious (and potentially out of the loop). Thanks.

This doesn't make much sense, for two reasons: 1. Various ML libraries are implemented in C++ and have wrappers for respective interpreted languages. 2. Given higher-level languages can do auto-diff, c++ as a lower-level language is li

> what’s the role of buying and/or trading individual stocks? Loads of reasons to do so: 1. You might have enough alpha to beat the returns of an index. 2.You prefer a more market neutral strategy and construct your own basket, main

Abuse of taxes is not a party-specific issue. Until laws are passed to prevent this (which is probably a multi-decade lobbying effort), it will re-occur. You are right, it eventually boils down to "it is quite hard".

Sadly, this is the way it works in the UK. Welfare payments are cut by any increases in your pay. So a person who might be offered overtime for some extra money has no incentive to take it because their total take home stays the same but wi
