As soon as I saw "nuclear", I was put off. Not because I have anything against nuclear power (in fact I am fully convinced of its potential), but because of the way people perceive the word nuclear. Whenever "nuclear" is

Thanks, but no thanks to FDA approved or "scientifically" structured and tested and accredited health recommendations for me. I am willing to put to test the the traditional practices that I am (or become) aware of.

Why would one want to ignore beneficial knowledge received in the form of tradition? To be able to re-invent the wheel?

Decoy is unnecessarily pejorative here. This is known as price anchoring. Anchoring is an influence tactic based on human psychological bias. I am not really sure why ethics would come into this discussion. Do ethics come into picture when

Just a thought - Why not reverse the phone number string and if there is a match in the first N digits of all the above phone numbers, then classify these as the same phone number? N would vary from country to country, no doubt. The interme

Have you ever tried to understand the rationale behind a religious ritual? Not from your viewpoint - but from the viewpoint of why such a ritual came into existence? Did you equip yourself with the tools to undertake such a study? For e.g.,

Forgive my naivete, but what is the point you are trying to make here? Or is this an attempt at creating some kind of fallacy?

Kaggle is an interesting site. But the cynic in me says these contests/competitions are just a cheap way of effort harvesting. For a pittance, the companies sponsoring these contests are getting tremendous value in return. If you are a

Very insightful and open. The point that stood out was how selling trumped all other tasks/activities. The same thing was echoed by PG in the inc.com article that was posted recently [1]. [1] - https://news.ycombinator.com&#
