In the online dating market of 2019 looks is all that matters. Because of these reasons:
1. Online dating mostly depends on looks, it's based on your pictures. Almost no woman reads your bio. Simply because people don't have time (this is another reason why new apps like tinder and bumble even don't give you enough spaces to write about yourself, because it doesn't matter at the end).
2. If a woman does not find an attractive man "interesting" after first couple of dates or so, she can easily find another attractive man with "interesting" personality. They do not have to go for an ugly male with interesting personality. Because women (even average/non-attractive ones) have an extremely large dating pool, men don't. For example:

3. Almost no woman picks a mate based on political views. I have seen die hard leftist women dating neonazi guys.

Same sex (specially between men and men) is a completely different ballgame. The mate choice strategy of women is completely different from that of men.

There are many interesting ideas about how to come up with a "fair" online dating market.
But I guess everyone is completely disregarding the basics of human nature, attraction is mostly based on "looks/facial aesthetics":

In a free/unregulated sexual market, women are the selectors, not men. Women are biologically hardwired to select good looking males (irrespective of his money, personality or social status). Therefore ugly people don't get matches. Very simple.
No matter how many ways you try to engineer/fix the system, it's not going to work. Because the existing system is already doing what it is supposed to do.

I am going to hit 37 this year. I am still a student doing a PhD (an international student). These kind of story scares me.

Those who are wondering why Indian languages are a subgrouop of Indo-European languages, this chart might be helpful. It shows some of the many words that Sanskrit and Slavic both share.

Why do all those thinkpad bios logos feature anime girls? Also I am seeing one with that "Hitler and gas" meme. LMAO.

I am actually quite surprised to see this kind of article on hn. Well, I am even more surprised because it's getting upvotes.
Please get a copy of Russel-Norvig's A.I. text and read at least some part of it before clicking that link.

Yea, looks like it's possible to some extent.

Interestingly, the style of art and writing is very similar to that of Hokusai Manga. Which is considered as the one of the predecessors of today's Manga and Anime.

Why all these sightings are never accompanied with sonic booms? If something is moving that fast through the atmosphere, there must be a sonic boom. Or is there any way to suppress this? At least theoretically?

Yes, that's true. But in optimization domain the concept of "convexity" is understood in terms of set, not always from the 2nd derivative of a function. Because you might have search spaces where you are not able to differentiate the objective function at all. In those cases the "convex" means a "convex set".

>Just because you can prove convergence for convex functions does not mean you can't prove it for non-convex functions.
I don't understand. How do you prove a gradient descent is guaranteed to escape local minima?
