Is there any solution to water damaged Mac standalone keyboards ? I have several keyboards that were ruined by minor water spills. I don't understand what component in these keyboards gets permanently destroyed by water.

One thing I was surprised to learn is that ladybugs migrate like butterflies. In California, there are secret locations in the Sierras where they overwinter before flying off into the central valley. https://youtu.be/Y3v8A

So it was a daft draft. Nothing to worry then.

That is not entirely correct either. Hindi and English are official languages of the Republic of India. If you watched the swearing-in ceremony of the recent Modi government some cabinet members chose to be sworn-in in English.

The right solution is to leave it to parents and students to decide what languages they want to study in and what languages they choose to learn. Hindi is gradually becoming universally understood all over the country precisely because it w

"I can tell you with conviction that in my lifetime I have never had anyone impose Hindi on me." This is because several fellow south Indians gave up their lives to ensure that north Indian language bigots would not have their way

The West expected India to be a failed state within a decade of independance. There were 584 princely states and hundreds of linguistic, religious and cultural minorities to integrate within one country. Compare India to Yugoslavia which br

Think about it. 500 years ago it took Columbus and his crew of 88 men ten weeks to reach America in three 58 foot, 100 ton wooden boats pushed along the ocean by wind. They had no toilets, ate boiled food with cheese and salted meats. Toda

I suspect the answer is in the org structure of these large companies. There are PM/s for the Spectre line of products, another for Pavilion, another for Zbook, Envy, Workstation etc. The PMs report to separate corporate silos with i

"Dimension reduction" is what I would call it. Going from R^n to R^m n>m using parameterized non-linear high dimensional mappings.

That is true for general purpose computing. However, AMD has been diversifying away from client (laptops, desktops). There is a large and growing market for semi-custom designs: game consoles, CPU+GPU cloud computing, DaaS virtualization, e

The Japanese came up with such a 'temporal hour system'. An ingenious clock to display time that changes with the seasons is this Myriad Year Clock built in 1851 https://youtu.be/1moRfIXCfak?t=886

To build the cell simulator you would have to model all the biochemical pathways in a cell. This is a bit of a problem http://biochemical-pathways.com/#/map/1 http://biochemical-pathways.com/#&#x2F

I recommend Prandoni & Vetterli's coursera class on Signal processing[1]. They have really made an effort to teach this in an intuitive manner instead of just throwing equations at you. This was the course where I finally really

Agreed. NFL is general and we need to discuss a specific landscape. Deep learning is continuous <nonlinear> multidimensional optimization - yes. What defines the subset of problems ? a general nonlinear mapping from R^n to R^m n>m

True. High-dimensional non-linear systems (like deep NNs) are a frontier we are just beginning to explore with empirical success. However, if I was a VC - my knowledge of the NFL would make me look skeptically at any grandiose claims of mir

This mathematical hand waving plagued the field of genetic algorithms and its variants in the 90's until the 'No free lunch theorem' was published from the Santa Fe institute. It essentially said (my take on it) that if you h

Thanks for the book reference - I'll have to read it. A film editor told me that a great actor knows when to blink and that's the point where you make the cut. Ever since I can't stop noticing eye blinks in movies and anima

At the Redwood city location there were many artists and small businesses that depended on the facilities. It will be a big blow to them. I think they got reckless with their expansion. The San Jose location moved to a new location after th
