Yeah and communist society is about who has the best connections to the people in the party who decide who gets what. And socialist societies are about not making too much money because you'll lose the subsidies.

Which is more than enough to put it out of balance, depending on where it is.

For private insurance in Europe you have to sign disclosure documents for all your doctors and medical history, at least in all 5 countries I have insight in. It's perfectly legal and standard.

That's not Western, but American. In Europe much weaker painkillers are prescribed due to risk of addiction, and in places like germany a lot of placebo (= overpriced homeopatic bullshit)

That's a bold assumption. Such algorithms are developed wwith training sets, not just by employees randomly clicking around. They wrote that 189 algorithms were submitted, there were surely a few developed by non-racist, diverse people

Several countries have shown the capability of destroying satellites, not to speak of spy satellites and gps, and the fact that the spaceshuttle and its military sibling was designed to scoop up satellites and bring them back to earth. Spac

There is research showing male rhesus monkeys to have preference for wheeled toys https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2583786/ We shouldn't discount possible genetic influences on preferences.

That's probabaly the wrong causation. Instead, parents of higher intelligence, education and cultures that values education make more money - and not only pass on their genes, but also are more vigillent or capabale to educate their ki

Just that you know - it's ok no to post, if you have nothing substantial to say. Spreading hateful slander adds nothing to the board.

No, you're completely wrong. Graph databases, document databases, K/V stores and so on have completely different models, guarantees and performance characteristics than relational databases.

Isn't it completely off topic for this board though? On reddit I'd agree with you.

Obviously, if you put all data into one table, it's not a complex query. (But then you also just reinvented document databases with its own set of problems.) Even having them in several tables is not rocket science, OP was just trying

Both of you are missing the point. Once you normalize, car color would be an attribute on the car table, and to map those you need many-to-many lookup tables. It can be done obviously, but it's more effort to do, maintain and update. D

When I let my 5 months old investigate my keyboard, he changed my code, started the compiler and locked the device within 30 seconds. The secret? They use both hands. The give away? They re-press the same keys often, so the result would be

Reddit is definitely being gamed, started 1-2 years ago. And it's a lot harder / impossible to identify fake recommendations, so I'm very suspicious of it.

>Totally agree, but it takes a really strong product manager to stand up to a sales person with $10K in revenue from an enterprise buyer "if we just add this one feature they want". Lol, let's be realistic. If a PM is in t

People do this because they want to know that you're available for the conversation. Like ringing the phone.

Problem solved: There should be no "opinion" at the workplace outside professional topics. Unless you're the person in charge of the Tibet strategy, your opinion should stay at home. It's a workplace, not your buddy&#x27

5-htp is associated with increased anxiety / panic attacks. Found out after I got one. (Racing heart, palpitations out of nowhere, spent a night in hospital doing bunch of heart tests.) There is very little research on it, because it&#

You should visit Europe once, you'll see that life here is different. Specifically regarding Friedrichstraße: It's in the city center, brimming with tourists. 3 major subway lines have stops there. Few cars drive in there as it is

Is it "bias" if it's true? The issue is that we want to override statistics and distort the analysis for ideological reasons, but that's not a fault of the algoryhm, it's a feature request.
