I think insurance companies should really check this out!

Missed opportunity to have Laurence Fishburne somewhere in the advertising.

There's a version of this with "4"s that I have done through 20. I have used factorials and square roots but nothing more. I felt dirty.

BUT I did not use "44", which I did see in some solutions. That seemed out of bounds to me!

"There was a risk that such a single-minded pursuit of so difficult a problem could hurt her academic career, but Späth dedicated all her time to it anyway."

I feel like this sentence is in every article for a reason. Thank goodness there are such obsessive people and here's a toast to those counter-factuals that never get mentioned.

Most of "The Road" absolutely kills me. But Scalzi wrote something that's etched forever into my brain:

“For as much as I hate the cemetery, I’ve been grateful it’s here, too. I miss my wife. It’s easier to miss her at a cemetery, where she’s never been anything but dead, than to miss her in all the places where she was alive.” ― John Scalzi, Old Man's War

The language model that lies better than any other model in the universe? (just guessing from the training data)

The company's board (politcos) and syndicate (there is none) is a bit weird for a FDA approval...maybe there are some caveats or scope notes that I have not seen.

Sorry, but why hold any of these people out as purveyors of truth?

I could rip a apart Thiel, Adams or Taleb on ___(their own dumb kryptonite). For example, listen to Taleb on religion. He's a buffoon. On power laws...very insightful.

I see no reason to glorify individuals outside of their domains.

Regarding Trump, he's just a Republican, as Hillary is just a Democrat. They are the faces of the machine. This is how most Trump-backers get comfort with Trump.

If Trump TRULY TRULY was anti-establishment, he would sound more like Lawrence Lessig and less like Archie Bunker.

TechCrunch has become the in-flight magazine of technology. How many of these marketing pieces are meaningful for anyone involved in the technology community? Moving on...

So build a better systems. Super successful artists have the ability to create better and "fairer" platforms for other artists and consumers (if that's your belief). We are all open to new models. Let's see how Patreon does, for example. I hated this article.
