Absolutely false, South Korea isolated the people with the disease after making very fast and swift vast amount of tests per day (30.000) after a joint effort with the private sector and such proceedings could be perfectly be labeled as "isolation"[0] which is exactly what a lockdown is.
No I didn't, I rewrote it to make it sound less inflammatory because I though that was the reason it got flagged. I still believe its a valid point, you may think otherwise of course.
Where did you get this idea that all professions need to be 50%/50%? Just for example 90% of nurses are female but we are as a society are OK with that right?
And even if you could please everyone that doesn't guarantees you are a net positive for society; for example Galileo had to bother a lot of people to convince them the earth rotates around the sun and not otherwise; and pretty much anyone with an unpopular opinion that at the end turned out be for the best had to bother a lot of people.
Not really, as an example bothering people that believe earth is flat by saying "it is not" is a positive in my book; in other words, bothering ideas that need to be bothered.
To create a fake account you need a fake email as well and configure git to not include your email; so I can see some value in this proposition.
...sure but, well, we have internet and other advancements since then, there may be a chance of less murderous solutions to work.
extreme wealth inequality is inevitable in a globalizing world unless effective wealth-equalizing institutions are installed on a global scale.
Yeah, and water is wet; since ever is known that the best tool to make money is... money; so the resource tends to get unevenly distributed and pile up in the hands of a few. And what's worse is that the punishment for not having enough money is... to lose money, obviously overdraft fees are the best example of this, but there are a million ways more.
Exactly, the only realistic option Spotify has is to be bought by one of the big 3 (an exit), not an IPO.
Nope; you can target pages that are liked only by young people (e.g. Snapchat) and then just discard the few old people manually.
You say it like it is that simple to fix; they could ask for photo in the curriculum and just discard the few that looks old, -after targeting job ads on pages that are disproportionaly "liked" by the age range they want-
The only true way to solve this is to force by law to hire older people (e.g. 30% of your workforce must be over 40); otherwise all this proxies like trying to regulate third-party ads and else its just an endless cat-and-mouse game.
Selling access for attention of people that fit specific characteristics has been done for decades and its fully legal; that's why bingo shows aimed to old people get Viagra ads, that's why the Seventeen magazine gets acne treatment ads; sure there are some non-teenagers buying the Seventeen magazine but its such a tiny minority that its irrelevant.
We don't need it to be ad infinitum; we only need it high enough to understand that which we still don't.
False; mostly because a simple analogy can make one understand at least slightly topics that one has no prior knowledge; dogs cannot understand even the simplest of analogies, mostly cause they have no language.
And even if that argument isn't good enough; the dog has no tools to escape its constrains; humans do; we are messing with our brains constantly looking for a way to make it better; may it be by genetic therapy (DNA mods), chemically induced (drugs) or hardware implants (artificial neurons).
"Want" as in they are biologically wired to want to do so; hormones/evolution/etc.
That snippet (hn_seach.js) is to search not to fetch all pages; or what snippet are you talking about?
I just created this JavaScript script that you can paste in your browser console (F12) to fetch all comments from all pages (using AJAX); just execute it before the search script. Cheers.

Instead of looking for patterns from itself on others images (training data) it starts with noise and deforms such noise based on patterns found on itself and favors deformations closer to the input image; eventually reaching something close to the input image without the noise (cause the noise it's pattern-less or at least weak enough to die over stronger patterns)
yeah looks strange; I think motion blur to reduce "discomfort" when rotating the camera may have been a better compromise; or maybe removing all single-out black pixels (e.g. those with no adjacent black pixels in a 4x4 radius).
In many Spanish countries we have a similar one: "le das la mano y agarran el codo", which translates "you give them a hand and they'll grab the elbow".
Believe it or chewing a sewing needle don't actually kills you; but sure you can be afraid of anything and still get validation of that fear; you know a lot of people die from heavy objects falling from buildings? You should protect from that too, it has happened before so clearly you should take steps to protect yourself (and it has happened a lot more than candy poisoning), perhaps always using a construction helmet would be a nice first step. And traffic accidents, so many pedestrians die from car accidents that its weird we all don't have personal airbags around our torsos and heads; at the end of the day being alive its the biggest risk factor of dying and the only sure way to not die is to be already death.
Actually one just have to press the "end" key a few times and you quickly display all tweets of a single person, just not sorted.
Anyway, this feature its missing for the time-less accounts (e.g not time-sensitive tweets), such as the one featured in this project and other ones like @AwardsDarwin @DeviantArt, @greatestquotes
I can't believe it's 2017 and Twitter still doesn't have a "Top Tweets" link in every profile to sort tweets by popularity (RT+likes count)
Twitter doesn't let you save the video neither.
Gender reassignment is an statistical anomaly, less than 0.1% of the population.
You are using Chrome headless therefore you can use group policy to add "file://" to the URL blacklist; see http://www.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3#URLBlac...
Hi guys. I posted before with much success before but I made several improvements since then, the main one is that I have a way more reliable (and automatable) process for picking songs and videos accurately, and now it uses a stricter filter (significant number of likes vs dislikes, significant number of youtube video views) and so on.
The videos try to be as accurate as possible, meaning right now is showing videos popular today 20 years ago (24 December 1994). And because is automated hopefully it will continue working with much supervision.
If you guys are interested in a similar version for different time lengths (`play 30 back` or `play 10 back`) just say so, or if you have any questions about it feel free to ask.
The billboard magazine archive has some historical account of the most played videos (of some weeks not all), so I'm mostly extracting the video names from there; finding the video on YouTube is also automated but that last part does need some human supervision. So I guess you could say is done pseudo-manually.
Hi guys, I'm the creator of this. It is just a little experiment about doing some sort of 'ongoing nostalgia'. That means right now it is airing videos from December 1994, and the idea is that it will keep advancing that way (e.g. next month it will show videos from January 1995).
If you have any feedback or questions about it feel free to post them here.
