Updates to RootProject’s Korean Language Website are now Live
By: Nicholas Adams Judge
Tags: Korea, Crypto, Ethereum, Blockchain, Bitcoin

RootProject’s pilot city expansion will begin in Q4, beginning in Seoul, South Korea and New York City.

We’re happy to announce that our new Korean language site is now live. Heeding the advice of our local partners, we switched up the design of the Korean site during the ICO. Now, having brought on additional staff in Seoul to assist, in part, with translation, we’ve built the two sites and a workflow that will keep both aligned going forward.

This is just one more small step toward launching our pilot city programs, and coincides nicely with our now-regular Git updates (check out our most recent RootShop post if you haven’t already): The tech necessary to launch the pilot city program is starting — after focusing on hiring and org-level build — to come together.

In RootProject campaign news, the Numi Campaign has less than 40 days to go and still has a way to go to reach our goal. If you haven’t you haven’t shared, posted, or most importantly donated you can do that here.

Look for more updates to both sites soon — we’re adding new features as we prepare for several more campaign launches in the coming weeks.

The Landscape of Impact Blockchain Projects
By: Ludolf Von Schöning
Tags: Impact, Blockchain, Social Change, Impact Investing, Decentralization

Hi there, welcome!

We, the Revision team, believe blockchain technology has the potential to create a positive impact on human-kind by enabling a truly global and more inclusive economy. However, to unleash this paradigm-shifting technology we need to step away from the “quick-money hype” and explore how to allocate our resources towards sustainable projects that are building the infrastructure for a meaningful and better future.

Revision is a network of purpose-driven entrepreneurs and organizations that unite to explore the long-term impact of emerging technologies on society. In November we connect leading decision-makers, entrepreneurs and developers to showcase, discuss and collaborate on impactful projects that will advance a truly democratic internet and a more purpose-driven economy.

Rocinha is Rio’s largest Favela. Rio de Janeiro has huge social problems due to income inequalities. Corruption might the biggest.

The aim of this article is to shine the light on entrepreneurs that use blockchain technology to solve pressing social issues. Our mission is to inspire more people to join the movement from a profit-centered economy towards a purpose-driven economy. Please help us discover missing projects that you think are worthy to be featured here.
I Am Not A Refugee

I am a refugee, they call me

But I am Colourless and nation-less

Craving with hopes and wishes

Jarring the power who owes me my rights.

I am a refugee, they call me

With rights and hopes

My blood swirls

My aspirations are never in a refuge.

I am the refugee, rejected and tagged

Now, my services so dwell in this land

Saving lives, building homes

My world has changed.

I am a Refugee, they call me

I sing for them — just to ignite

I give them morning inspiration

In their offices, they smile

In turn, I receive coins.

Those coins, my redeemers’ treasure

Feed my impoverished home

Pay my fees to learn and to rise

I am engulfed and caged — holding on.



Today, I am raised to stardom

I am the subway singer; tagged

Sharing my subway melody

In your closet, remember my soul.

I ran from war

I came home

I am the rejected one

Famed and owned by even my foes.

I am a global citizen, call me that, and

I will smile like the morning star

Cut my flesh, my blood is red, no tag

Tear my heart, it is pure, no name.

I am not a refugee

Do not call me names

Call me a global citizen

Make me home and see me prosper.

I am a global citizen

Staunch and bold

I am strong and calm

Lead me and I will lead others.

I am a global citizen

Fearless

My dreams sound global

And my wishes will heal the world.

I dream humanity, not names

I stand for solidarity beyond race!

My days and wishes would bring me home

If I am accepted.

I yearn for your love, not hatred

My colour is not my heart

I serve the good of us not just me

Whether you accept me or not.

I am a global citizen

Drenched in dreams for the world

Creating humanity and humility

We are all one people.

Blogging Ourselves to Live

A eulogy for our former online selves

Photo by Nilotpal Kalita on Unsplash

This story is part of the Internet Time Machine, a collection about life online in the 2010s.

The air was surprisingly thin for a beach town and I was 2 A.M.-drunk (in the real world, it was about four in the afternoon). I stumbled through Rockaway, Queens looking for my friend Matt’s house, physically and emotionally lost. “Green Eyes” was looping on my iPod in remembrance of the ex who’d broken up with me 20 hours prior and who did not have green eyes, but close enough.

Matt, a college friend, had invited me to his hometown’s St. Patrick’s Day celebration after my boyfriend abruptly put the kibosh on our relationship the day before. I was open to distraction, so in the morning four of us piled into Matt’s car and drove to his house where his mom made us breakfast and took our picture, all colleged and cute. Cut to six hours later: me, rip-roaring wasted, wandering around Queens under the influence of Coldplay. Eventually I found Matt’s house (and my friends), and after a group Chinese food order was placed, I crawled upstairs to my accommodations — Matt’s little brother’s bedroom — where a bunk bed and a desktop fought over me. Which would I give myself to?

I was looking for something, a clue, so I turned to the computer and then to Myspace, the way one looking for something in 2013 might turn to Instagram or Twitter or Facebook or wherever the person who just broke their heart might leave a hint, some sort of status update, some thing that says, I’m hurting, too.

And I found it. My ex had published a private blog post 20 minutes earlier, and oh, but “private” does not mean what you think it means, because I knew his password and he knew I knew his password, and this was obviously written not for him but for me, so I logged into his account and read it. I read the thing he left for me to find, the breakup Easter Egg, the manifesto confessing he didn’t know why he’d broken up with me, that he still loved me, that he was questioning his decision and that this might’ve been the biggest mistake of his life. It was the nicest thing anyone had ever written about me.

We were back together five hours later. His blog post was struck from the record shortly thereafter.

When Your Best Friend’s Dad Dies

Loss, empathy, and other complicated emotions

Photo by Suhyeon Choi on Unsplash

I’ve been best friends with Lynette since fourth grade, when our parents arranged for us to go to church summer camp together. She was a year (and a grade) older than me, but our parents worked it out with the camp to put us in the same fifth-grade cabin.

We were both shy, quiet, “smart” girls. We had a passing knowledge of each other from church but had never spoken before arriving together at camp that summer day. I don’t remember what we talked about at first, but we hit it off fine. We attended craft classes, archery, campfires, and meals together — figuring out how to use trays to carry our food to long tables filled with other kids.

We formed an indestructible bond the day one of our cabin mates picked on me. I don’t even remember what she said. But the girl zeroed in on me and bullied me mercilessly one afternoon, just before “write letters home” time. I absorbed it and figured it would end soon enough. What I didn’t count on was a heretofore unseen fiery side to my new friend. The bully was going at me, when, all of a sudden, my petite comrade with a crisp pageboy haircut began shouting from her top bunk.

Lynette not only defended me, she tore the girl to shreds. Shutting her down with military-grade smack talk. I was impressed. I didn’t know she had it in her.

From that decisive moment, the die was cast. We became sisters for life.

Along with our friend Sherry, the three of us have walked together through hilarity, sorrow, anger, frustration, joy, and adventure.
South Korea’s Largest Exchange UPbit Cleared of Insolvent Allegations by FSC
Tags: Korea, Exchange, Lawsuit, Crypto, Bitcoin

The Financial Services Commission has cleared UPbit of all fraudulent accusations claiming the exchange was insolvent this past May.

The Financial Services Commission (FSC) has finally cleared UPbit of accusations claiming the crypto exchange was insolvent. Audit reports from Yoojin, a large South Korean accounting firm, and Dunamoo, a subsidiary of Kakao, complement each other’s findings that UPbit is storing its bitcoin and cryptocurrency balance sheet in its entirety.

The two-month-long process and its results should provide yet another boost to UPbit which has only recently taken over Bithumb for a leading market cap.

UPbit currently has the exact amount of money held by the platform’s investors along with additional funds, more than enough to compensate every investor […] Hence, UPbit is able to process withdrawals for customers upon the request of its customers and the exchange will continue to release audit report on a regular basis to prove its solvency. / Lee Seok-woo, DunamooPresident

Investors feeling secure with exchanges is one of the leading concerns existing in the crypto environment. When accusations emerged in May, investors found their accounts frozen and no ability to make crypto withdrawals. The signs of yet another exchange collapse were there, but clearance from the FSC should help to mitigate and FUD that was created during the investigation.

Bitcoin’s price continues to drop; the popular token has plummeted over 17% in the past two weeks. With so little consistency from cryptocurrencies through 2018, any positive news within the industry is a good sign. UPbit’s clearance of accusations will likely lead to a return in climbing value for the exchange as the battle among the Korean entities only grows with time.

The Survey Result for ViFi (DeFi on Vite) and Our Decision on this Product
By: Vite Editor
Tags: Crypto, Cryptocurrency, Vite, Blockchain

The results are relatively scattered. But still, 67.8% will only borrow USDT at an interest no higher than 6%, while 57.6% of participants will only lend USDT at no less than 6%.

Analysis and Our Decision

Based on the survey, we reached the following conclusions:

The majority (67.8%) of participants would only borrow VITE/VX at a rate under 15%; in the meantime, the majority (62.7%) of participants will only lend VITE/VX to others with a yield above 15%. This means only a fraction of the total surveyed group would be able to find a match for their borrowing/lending needs.

The total number of respondents was not low, but also not high. When combined with the above fact that only a fraction of respondents will participate, we conclude that usage would not be strong.

Staking of VITE to obtain VX consistently yields 20%+, and this already satisfies the 70% of the lending demand according to the survey.

We made similar conclusion for the cases of borrowing/lending USDT.

Many other priorities await our attention, as you will see in our new roadmap.

As such, we have decided to suspend ViFi’s development. To be sure, we can revisit this topic at a later time, when there’s strong evidence of more user demand. Vite is like a high-speed train, which sometimes needs to stop during the journey, to refuel, get more people on board, and head for the next stop. We will not stop the research and exploration of DeFi, but will restart the opinion gathering process on ViFi from the community at an appropriate time in the future.

In the meantime, our resources are better directed at other efforts, including continual improvement of ViteX (such as integration with more coins on ViteX, open-source ViteX gateway) and Vite App (Major upgrades and third-party development on Vite wallet), as well as other items to be mentioned in our quarterly milestone review letter.
Can You Solve the ∫ x² dx Challenge?
By: Adam Hrankowski
Tags: Data Science, Math, Recreational Mathematics, Mathematics Education, YouTube

Are you up to the challenge?

CALCULUS

Can You Solve the ∫ x² dx Challenge?

Solve this simple integral without using the reverse power rule.

Yesterday (October 30, 2020), YouTuber Steven Chow (blackpenredpen) posted a video with this goal: Integrate x² without the power rule. Before seeing Steve’s solution, I posted my own video. (I didn’t want to be unduly influenced.)

Have a crack at it yourself. Then see how I solved it (below).

Pause the article and attempt a solution now.

My Solution

We’re going to use integration by parts:

We’ll call our solution I. The parts:

How do we find u and v’? Consider the function f(x)=x.

If v=f(x)=x, then the slope of f(x)=x is v’:

If u’=f(x)=x, then the area under the graph — the area of the triangle — is u:

Now that we have u, u’, v and v’, we are set to rearrange the parts.

As we clean up the situation on the right, the solution begins to emerge:

On the far right, we find the original integral, ∫ x² dx, which we called I.

A little algebra yields the desired result.

And that’s what we had set out to show.

Postscript

Did you try it yourself? How did it go? Post your solutions below. Also, have a look at these solutions.

My own video solution:

The ∫ x² dx Challenge — Integration WITHOUT the Power Rule

How to Implement HyperLog With Kotlin in Android

A detailed guide on how to implement HyperTrack/HyperLog and log data to a remote server with Kotlin

Photo by Farzad Nazifi on Unsplash.

Logging is necessary when a developer needs to debug the issue in any part of the code. In Android, we have Log, which is super useful when it comes to looking for any error in the code. If you want to see or save the logs remotely to your server, then HyperLog is one of the popular options, as it’s built on top of Log.

Now, there are numerous blog posts that can help you understand what HyperLog is and how it works (like this one) using Java. Today’s article is a detailed guide for implementing it using Kotlin and an exploration of its features, so if you are struggling to understand it or convert the Java code to Kotlin, then this should clear things up.

Once the library is added into the dependencies in the build.gradle file of the application, you can start recording the log messages and push them to the remote server through the following code snippet:

Sample code snippet for HyperLog implementation using Kotlin

The code snippet above is from the launcher activity of an application where HyperLog has been initialized. The log level is set to show which type of logging will be done further. After specifying the log type with its tag and message, the URL has been set to validate the pushing of logs to the remote server (in this case, RequestBin). After the logs are pushed, either through a file or in plain text, the callback methods of success and error complete the task.

Below is a detailed guide of the HyperLog library in Kotlin.

School Shooting in Brenton, Kentucky

On January 23rd, America had its eleventh school shooting of the year in Benton, Kentucky

Image by Fox News

Two fifteen year old students were killed, and eighteen others injured in the shooting taken place in Marshall County High School. Fifteen year old Gabe Parker, the primary suspect, has been arrested and charged with two counts of murder and twelve counts of assault.

There has yet to be a confirmed motive for this attack. It remains to be known whether he will be charged as an adult or a juvenile. A local prosecutor claims that he was definitely aiming to kill, however it didn’t seem as if he was targeting any specific students.

This tragedy in Kentucky was the worst school shooting of the year. It also marks roughly the 50th school shooting of the academic year.

KEVIN ABOSCH — CRYPTO ART ROSE
Tags: Art, Kevin Abosch, Photographer, Blockchain

KEVIN ABOSCH CRYPTO ARTIST

Back in 2016, photographer Kevin Abosch sold a photo of a potato for over $1 million USD. On Valentines Day this year he sold digital artwork of a rose for the same price. The Forever Rose was sold to a group of ten collectors who split the cost evenly in Cryptocurrency.

The collectors included a leading China-based crypto investor, investment funds, an advisory firm and various crypto projects, and the epic price tag is said to be the highest ever for a piece of Crypto-Art. Proving there is LOVE on the Blockchain! Abosch created Forever Rose in collaboration with GIFTO, a decentralized gifting platform that stores its record of collectibles on the Ethereum Blockchain. The Forever Rose is an ERC20 token called ROSE on said Blockchain. The buyers each receive 1/10 of the ROSE token, and of course if they want — they can always decide to sell one of their petals.

Kevin Abosch and The Forever Rose platform have donated the proceeds to CoderDojo Foundation for free programming classes for children and teens 7–17 years old.

Kevin Abosch’s original claim to fame is snapping beautiful portraits of busy executives and celebrities on his iconic black backdrop, in just a few seconds. But this unique creative dabbles in a lot of other kinds of art too. In his next big project, he wants to capture pictures of the human ego. To do that, Abosch will wear a fMRI (Functional magnetic resonance imaging) machine on his head and take pictures of his brain activity during ego-inducing situations. His plan is to then blow up the photographs into massive 10-feet high collections of colorful art.

Another Blockchain Crypto-Art Project to look out for from Kevin Abosch is I AM A COIN. He has created 100 physical artworks and a limited edition of 10 million virtual artworks. The physical works are stamped, using the artist’s own blood with the contract address on the Ethereum Blockchain — which corresponds to the creation of the 10 million virtual works (ERC20 tokens).

The Ecommerce Knowledge Graph — Semantics3 Labs
By: Govind Chandrasekhar
Tags: Ecommerce, Knowledge Graph, Data Visualization, Supply Chain

Over the past 7 years, we’ve built an extensive Universal Product Catalog, by curating and understanding public data from across the public e-commerce web. This includes information about 100s of millions of products, ~1000 standardized attribute types, billions of attribute values and tens of billions of pricing and ranking signals.

Now, as part of our latest research initiative, we’ve built an Ecommerce Knowledge Graph to harness the value of the relationships between the entities in our datasets. At the core of this graph is the set of relationships between the structured attributes that describe products in the catalog; the graph is also layered with the billions of relationships between products themselves through characteristics like shoppability, browsability and compatibility.

Sample product entry from the graph for the iPhone XS Max

Overview of a set of larger set of nodes

Utility

What kind of opportunities for value creation does this open up? Here are some interesting ways in which we’ve been using the graph:

Compatible Looks

By analyzing what kinds of products are most popularly purchased or viewed together, at scale, we can build an understanding sense of consumers’ design preferences. This can in-turn be used to provide suggestions of what kind of items are most compatible with each other.

For example, if a consumer is looking for suggestions for pants to go with his or her bright blue jacket, the graph may surface espresso pants that have previously been purchased in tandem with blue jackets. Combined with Semantics3’s solutions of extracting attributes from images, this could be used to help retailers and advertisers build and seed suggestion engines.

Supply Chain Insights

Imported Nike products are most likely to be manufactured in either China or Vietnam. But how does this split up when you look at just synthetic shoes. Or shoes that are retailed at a particular price range? Answering such questions using the Ecommerce Graph is very straightforward — all you have to do is ask the right questions that can help solve your, or your customers’ business needs.

Brand Profiles

We can build detailed profiles for brands including:

How their pricing strategies vary depending on attributes like material, country of origin, gender or sport/occasion.

What designers’ individual style preferences are, and how they vary across the attribute spectrum.

Which other brands they have the most synergies with — for example, are Levi’s jeans more likely to be purchased with Nike shoes than with shoes from Adidas? And whether this lines up with the list of brands they are most likely to be marketed or co-sponsored with.

Profiles like this can help retailers overcome the cold-start problem for new brands for which they have no prior data.

Paired with our Universal Product Catalog, we envision that the Ecommerce Graph can provide additional tools for our retail and marketplace partners to navigate their catalog and content challenges.
External factors, fear of myself and letting go
By: Joseph Emmi
Tags: Fear, Personal, Life Lessons, Commitment, Personal Growth

Tuesday night and I was back from my run as usual; shower, dinner and ready to sit down for a while to get my writing done for the day. I started to feel a bit heavy on the head and thought that the chilly wind on the way back affected me, which usual and suffer it more often than would I’d like to, but that cannot control, however, in just a matter of second that “bit” turned into a massive headache, heavy eyes and complete indisposition. Even though, I tried to get my lines in before going to bed: “I’ll write something brief and I’ll go to bed early”.

At this point, my girlfriend already asked me a couple of times if I was feeling ok (she knows me well). At this point, she also knew I was going to seat for a bit before going to bed, but due to the rapidly growing discomfort she just took me by the arm and closed my laptop. I said ok and let it go for a moment, I said to myself I’ll do it on my phone, as I’ve done before under similar circumstances when really tired. It didn’t happen.

Things got worst in a matter of seconds, that small pressure in the head turned into unbearable and I just couldn’t cope.

You know the drill, resting, cold bag, sparkling water; all the usuals. The interesting thing to me was that it was only when things got very uncomfortable physically speaking, that I finally said, you know what, if it happens to go away fast I’ll do it, otherwise I’ll do it tomorrow.

Even when started to recover about an hour and a half later, waking up from the post pain-relief nap I thought about it for second but decided to go back to sleep. This has to keep me thinking about it deeply today, for several reasons.

The serious commitment I feel for this project, something I’m now very proud of. The fact that I kept thinking about it constantly before, during and after the episode makes me unsure about me being too committed, attached or just afraid of myself and the consequences I know can be triggered by skipping it one day.

Right now I’m feeling a bit of the last one like I fall into the trap and it is something around me just whispering for me to do it again, because I know myself, and I know it can happen.

I also know that I’ve done it now, until yesterday, for 56 days in a row, and that one minor bump into the road caused by external factors will not be the cause of me letting down myself, and that the only way to keep doing as I’ve done it so far, it’s to keep doing like I’ve done so far.

I feel weird, vulnerable and like there is a weight on my shoulders, but just like yesterday, it is also a matter of letting it go.
The Descent
By: Sylph Hemery
Tags: Healing, Poetry On Medium, A Cornered Gurl, Poetry, Free Verse

Oh, the descent. Falling in

these faithless depths,

where hope skinnies

to a ghost whisper

and colors turn their

dark side towards me.

My fear used to follow

me down here, electrifying

my trembles. But no longer.

I come alone now, here

where I can neither

cower nor run from my faults.

Rinsed of fluff and pretense,

I see myself as I am,

jaggedly imperfect.

I swallow down the cracked glass

and the gem bits of myself

and find a way to digest

who I am,

all of me,

so I can just be.

Because We Can

“Why do birds fly?” Ian asked her.

“Because they can, Daddy.” She said, looking at the flock of birds flying across the golden sky with the sun setting in the background.

“There is no relation between wisdom and age.” His heart whispered.

He looked at his five-year-old daughter, and a gleam of pride lit his eyes, and his lips wore the smile in no time.

Everything does not have to be complicated in life. Sometimes, the answers are simple, Ian thought.

He was delighted to see the mysterious ways of the universe.

“It answers everyone’s questions and chooses its mediums to deliver those answers. Today it had chosen your beloved daughter for the lovely job,” his heart whispered again. “I am glad it did,” Ian whispered back.

He recalled the conversation he had with his friend the previous night. His friend had invited him to do some volunteer work at the servicemen’s center. As much as Ian wanted to help, he knew his curious mind would not be at peace if it did not know the answer to ‘What drives anyone to choose this path and serve strangers?’

So, out of curiosity, he had asked his friend why he should help them, but before his friend could respond, their conversation was interrupted by an urgent phone call from his daughter’s school, and he had to go.

But now he knew the answer.

Ian thought I should help them because I can. No reasons are needed to support any noble cause.

You’re Gonna Be Mad!

She was afraid to tell me how she had messed up because of the fear of how I’d react.

It was then that I realized that many of us have this same view toward God. We know that we messed up. We know we did something we shouldn’t have. We feel guilty about it. We’re scared to admit it out loud because of the fear of what God will do to us or how He will view us.

I’m here to tell you, as someone who needs to hear this as much as anyone, that you need to stop thinking that way. God forgave you over 2,000 years ago when he came down to earth in the flesh to die for our sins. Romans 8:1 tells us,

“Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.”

So, whatever it is that you’re carrying around and won’t let go of because of guilt, shame or condemnation — let it go. You’ve already been forgiven and you’re already free of it. The enemy will use your guilt and your shame to try to make you feel condemned. It’s a trap! The enemy is a LIAR!

“Mean As Ever”

She replied,

Laughing.

We all laughed too

She is Grandmother

Of the southern hills,

The antipode of mean,

Quiet storm of love,

Quenching.

Cruel winds

Spread her seeds

On the rocky ground.

Amidst the cold

Fell towers

Of neglect,

Indifference

She is Grandmother

Of warm small beauty.

Nurturer of young

Roots take hold.

The only

safe harbor,

The last bastion,

Steadfast beacon.

Shining through

The breakers,

Unfailing.

The lantern room

She is Grandmother

Keeper of Light.

Steadfast and shining,

Melting.

Arctic stone hearts

Shaping clay spirit

With kind

Hands of devotion.
When machine learning acts in bad faith

When machine learning acts in bad faith

Are we making the world a better place or a more racist one?

Last week, ProPublica published an extensive article on the growing use of machine learning in prison-sentencing. The report, written by Julia Angwin, Jeff Larson, Surya Mattu, and Lauren Kirchner, explores the adverse effects of entrusting our judgment to an algorithm.

Why is such a sci-fi twist even on the table? Machine learning promises to capture more information with greater neutrality. It’s able to predict behavior and outcomes, without the fog of human judgment.

Or so goes the underlying assumption of a company like Northpointe. Northpointe sells algorithms that aid judges in sentencing decisions, and while it isn’t the only mover in tech to take this approach, it may arrive as the most worrisome. The algorithm’s risk score is based on factors such as education level, employment, parents’ criminal record, etc.

Going off of ProPublica’s report, it would appear this type of risk-scoring doesn’t remove the element of human error, but instead exacerbates it. The traits it associates with recidivism target a specific group: Northpointe’s algorithm penalizes poor people of color for being poor people of color.

Furthermore, the risk factors Northpointe believes to be determinate are incorrect:

Source: ProPublic analysis of data from Broward County, Fla.

And yet the founder of Northpointe denies this, saying the algorithm, in spite of its baggage, works:

Brennan said it is difficult to construct a score that doesn’t include items that can be correlated with race — such as poverty, joblessness and social marginalization. “If those are omitted from your risk assessment, accuracy goes down,” he said.

Accuracy is a separate question. Northpointe’s own reports grade their algorithms as having a 68% accuracy rate. That hit rate feels pretty low, however, as a premise to change the course of someone’s life.

If this is the kind of progress we can expect from computers, is it even worth introducing the power of machine learning to our toughest social problems?

spaCy Basics
By: Tara Boyle
Tags: Machine Learning, Data Science, NLP, Spacy

A major challenge of text data is extracting meaningful patterns and using those patterns to find actionable insights.

NLP can be thought of as a two part problem:

Processing. Converting the text data from its original form into a form the computer can understand. This includes data cleaning and feature extraction. Analysis. Using the processed data to extract insights and make predictions.

Here we will focus on the processing step.

We’ll use a dataset created by scraping Twitter for Donald Trump tweets. A tutorial for creating your own Twitter dataset can be found here:

And we will focus exclusively on spaCy “a free, open-source library for advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP) in Python.”

spaCy is a great choice for NLP tasks, especially for the processing text and has a ton of features and capabilities, many of which we’ll discuss below.

The full notebook can be found here.

Tokenization

A good definition of a token, according to researchgate.net, is “a string of contiguous characters between two spaces, or between a space and punctuation marks.” In English, tokens are usually individual words, but can also be punctuation marks and numbers.

First we use the spacy.load() method to load a model package by and return the nlp object. Next we call nlp() on a string and spaCy tokenizes the text and creates a document object:
Why Do the Planets Float in Space?
By: Angshuman Bhattacharjee
Tags: Planets, Earth, Physics, Example, Space

In physics, nothing can fall or float, depending on the ball of gravity. It will not be possible if you want to jump or float an object. Because we will not be able to cope with the gravitational force of the earth.

If you think about space, there is no such thing as a good space. So you can’t say that an object in space is falling or flying up.

Falling here can mean whether a planet is falling on it due to the attraction of another big planet or star.

For convenience, I am referring to the planet as an object. There can be two states of matter in space:

1.The solar system belongs

2.Extraterrestrial solar system

There is no effect of gravity on any object outside the solar system (interstellar).

According to Newton’s 1st law:

“When no force is applied from outside, the stationary object is stationary and the moving object continues to move in a straight path at a balanced speed.”

Then the objects outside the solar system will remain stable forever. If it is moving in a certain direction, it will continue to move at that speed until the object falls into the gravitational ball of another object.

Now imagine what is happening to the objects or planets, stars that are inside us, or any other galaxy. Why is one centered on the other?

According to Newton’s law of gravitation :

“Every particle in this universe attracts each other and the value of this force of attraction is proportional to the product of the mass of the two particles, the distance between them is disproportionate to the square, and the force acting on the centerline of the two objects.”

Photo By Author

Here F is the force of attraction and supposes M1 is the mass of the earth and M2 is the mass of the sun. R is the distance between the sun and the earth.

Now as the mass of either of the two increases, so does the gravity, and as the distance increases, so does the gravity.

I take the sun and the earth as two objects. These two objects are trying to pull each other towards themselves. The greater the mass, the greater the force.

The Insecurity of Being Black and Corporate

Can my co-workers tell I’m struggling with impostor syndrome?

“I’ve just gotta remember that I’m in this position for a reason, and everything in my career up until this point is more than enough validation. I’ve learned to use those fears of inadequacy as motivation. I just need to test the impostor syndrome, challenge it, and prove it to be untrue. It also helps to look back at past Ws: accounts I’ve secured, positive reports from previous jobs, the dope campaigns I’ve coordinated. Sometimes you just have to remind yourself who the fuck you are.” — The Only Black Guy In the Office

THIS IS HOW SINGLE I AM.

THIS IS HOW SINGLE I AM.

A thorough list proving without a doubt that I am alone in the universe

LOL THIS IS NOT ME. Photo credit https://stocksnap.io/author/38712

A guy I used to date periodically texts me (while drunk) about how great his life is.

I send memes to a dude I’ve never slept with who talks about other women he dates. He thinks of me as a Pokemon.

2,000 men have liked me on Tinder. Tinder thought it would be a good idea to tell me this. I got scared and deleted the app.

A surfer with three illegitimate children with three different women keeps trying to booty call me.

A different surfer with only one illegitimate child (with a woman who is supposedly so rich and famous he cannot divulge her info) has only hit me up once, and I wonder what’s wrong with me that he already stopped trying.

There’s a guy I talked to on Tinder who asked me for a photo. I sent him one and he never responded, but he looks at my Snap story every day.

My friends ask me for masturbation tips and vibrator recommendations. (Lelo, duh.)

I have a preferred hugging pillow and head pillow.

I sometimes use my imaginary psychic abilities to try to determine if my exes are now bald, but I won’t look them up on social media because that would make me lame.

My cousin asked me if I am celibate for religious reasons. She asked me this from rehab.

My favorite vibrator is so worn the buttons are yellow, and it needs to be plugged in to work. Do you know how hard it is to masturbate near an outlet?

Update: Bought an extension cord for the sole purpose of masturbating. The extension cord was cheaper than a new vibe (well, the brand of vibe I buy, anyway).

My dad has told me that if I have a baby and end up not wanting it, he would take care of it for me. I think this is his way of being supportive?

My extended family thinks I’m a lesbian because I haven’t brought a date around in so long. They are actually very supportive and I appreciate them, but I’m still not gay.

A man has described me as “not his type” literally right in front of me.

People keep calling me brave for some reason.

The only nude photos I take are for protesting the patriarchy purposes.

A very attractive man was hitting on me and I looked behind me assuming there was a hot girl behind me he was speaking to.

During my last gyno visit, she said I didn’t need to test for STDs and actually believed me when I said I didn’t need birth control.

My grandma asked me if I’ve ever fallen in love before.

I have one matching bra and panty set and I’m saving it in a plastic bag for that special day.

Shaving? LOL.

I write books.
