Can somebody in the know elaborate on how far ahead China's lead is in AI?

Would using a dedicated phone number (sim) that is not shared with any other service protect you from this? Basically nobody besides Google and you would know of this number. In India dual sim phones are very common and I've been thinking of getting a second sim (phone number) for this purpose.

I've started many MOOC's but never finished because I couldn't keep up with watching the videos. Not being able to flip back and forth is really limiting. The only courses[1] I've finished had good quality notes and completely depended on them and avoided the lecture videos.

[1]: Roughgarden's Algorithms part I, Programming Languages by Dan Grossman and Machine Learning by Andrew Ng.

For the second return to work doesn't the if have to be an expression i.e return the result of evaluating either y or z as the result of the if expression? If the language has if statements like say Javascript then it won't work.

I'm not well versed with reading research papers etc but I have one question. Could it be possible that by simply practicing mindfulness meditation the brain restructured itself via a placebo style effect rather that because of the meditation itself?

For anybody who has access to the paper what did the control group do during the eight weeks?

This looks good but two things:

1] The guides section is still on the older design which I'm guessing will be updated later?

2] IMHO on the show gem page the authors/owners section should be moved below licence + versions/runtime-deps sections. The later are more important for first time scanning especially when looking for a new gem.
