The best type of sex to have a stable marriage is the loving, selfless type where you are actively trying to promote the well-being and happiness of your partner. That sort comes from a relationship where you are actively trying to promote the happiness and interests of your partner in all parts of your relationship, which is the most stable anyways.
This guy mentions and then dismisses without rationale the idea that women who have ten partners might have other life experiences that make them less likely to stay married. He doesn't even consider the notion that a woman who has zero partners is damaged in ways that make her unable to leave a bad relationship.

That he is does not even mention the effects of the man's sexuality (or the nature of a man who would choose a virgin or a woman who had ten or more partners) tells me that this is polemic.

First, you CAN do a lot of things and you ARE intelligent. You're also brave for asking here and I hope you're getting some helpful answers!

I think one thing you'll have to come to terms with is your lies about the past. It may be the kind of thing you don't mention again and just move on from, or if it comes up in the future it might benefit from you being a little more honest with people. Impostor Syndrome is a very real thing for people in our industry just because the world is changing so fast, so you'll likely deal with Impostor Syndrome yourself at a number of times in your life/career. This post might be an example of that kind of thing - you feel like a fake when you think other people know what they're doing, and you're an imposter, and if people find out, you'll be out of there. That's not true, and a lot of people struggle with these feelings over many years. The good news is that the solution to impostor syndrome is being honest with people. Don't be afraid to reveal what you _dont_ know or _cant_ do to people. That will help.

Now for the question of "are you smart enough to CS or STEM work" I'm going to say: YES. The fact that you're here, asking in what might be a second language to you, and the intellect you're showing just in what you said all show me that you have a good brain. The field of CS, and STEM is very vast, there are TONS of options, and tons of roles.

You mentioned you ran up against a wall with C++. Me too right when I started, you got farther than me :D You should try something a little more forgiving like JavaScript. It's got tons of practical applications, you could build websites, apps for your phones, desktop apps, server-side apps. I'd suggest taking a more casual approach to programming and try to play with it, and be creative with it, rather than just studying it seriously.

And in the meantime while you're 'struggling', thank your parents for sheltering you and having patience, and trusting you. They've been invested in you for two decades already, and I'm sure they want to see you spread your wings and soar as an adult. You'll get there! They can help :D

Sort of copy-pasting one of my earlier comments, apologies, but I highly recommend the book "Mathematical Notation: A Guide for Engineers and Scientists" by Edward Scheinerman (Amazon link: http://a.co/c1jcvLH ). It's short, and perfect for looking up symbols, brackets, subscript/superscript conventions etc. for science and engineering math (for me, the stuff I encounter in my programming life, when I read papers & books that deal with graphics programming, DSP, cryptography, etc.).

It's difficult to google mathematical stuff, especially since each symbol has many different meanings depending on which branch of mathematics you're dealing with - this book solves that problem nicely by letting you look up by the roman letter a symbol is similar to, by mathematical discipline, etc.
I was so bitter over not getting an invite for Ingress for months and months that once they opened it I had no interest.
She should of at least help Google Cloud out-compete Microsoft, which apparently they didn't. And I can partially see why, because in the market where I'm located (Eastern-Europe, a reasonably well-developed IT market) MS has become very, very aggressive in selling Azure, it has been that way for the last 3 years (I'd say), for them it's "sell Azure first and then everything else will follow", while I haven't even heard of Google Cloud being mentioned as a cloud alternative because their sales people are missing. For the record I know people who sell IT solutions for both enterprise and Government entities.

Maybe in the States or in other parts of Europe the situation is different and Google does indeed push their cloud solution down clients' throats but over-here they're absent.
I think the lazy and somewhat cynical answer is also the most accurate: learn the mathematics.

I've built a team of 10 junior devs in the Washington DC area. The prime motivation for hiring juniors is that there's ton of good entry-level talent (worked on published research in college, built an app and got some users, etc.), but good mid-level has been hard to find.

We give good raises and a lot of coaching, but since our work doesn't change much, people typically get tired of it and leave after a year or two. Ideally we would find a way to retain knowledge and talent.
This comment is a negative contribution to the discussion.
Keep stuff like this in mind when reading all social science papers. In softer sciences the bias of the researchers seems to have a very strong effect on the outcome.

I had the same initial reaction when I saw this. But the article appears to be pretty reasonable actually. I didn't catch strong hints of an agenda.
I tried to overcome the notation issue by taking a ML class as a non- degree seeking student from the CS dept of a good university. I took it for credit, so invested a lot of time on hw and paper reading. I’m more comfortable with the notation now and am better at learning independently. I also did calc, linear algebra and Differential equations classes at a community college prior to this.

Maybe I’m mistaken but I thought American tenure was a different level of protection intended to protect freedom of inquiry.

>> market value of the treasure

Key words. If is isn't "treasure" it isn't subject to the act. Material belonging to British military units isn't treasure and remains property of the crown forever (basically all ship-related stuff). Anything else that once belonged to the crown still does. So if some lord buried a stash of silver and never dug it up, you may need to dig into family histories to determine if that lord's property had ever reverted to the crown. Treasure hunting isn't ever simple and you never really know if you can keep the stuff until long after the initial discovery.

Note too that the act speaks of "two or more" coins. One coin is treated differently than a find of two. This goes back to an older distinction between buried treasure and lost property. A single coin may fall out of a pocket and be lost. Two coins together are presumed deliberately buried or otherwise hidden.

Ng's Coursera course will teach you what happens in Deep Learning and Machine Learning, but at least the Deep Learning course is very very light on the math side and avoids scary mathematics rather than making it accessible.

Without having read it, I'd recommend the "preliminary maths" part of Bengio et al's Deep Learning book - it teaches both the letters and the language, so to speak, and if the language isn't for you, you'd better throw away the papers and completely concentrate on reading and understanding the implementations that are our there, using the implementation first and foremost and the paper only as a backup to provide explanations when the implementation does mysterious or unexplained things.

You can do deep learning productively without having a PhD, but you won't be able (nor obliged) to read and understand PhD-level academic papers unless you have a solid (i.e., maths or physics or math-rich CS BSc) maths background.

Well I don't either, but I've also been rejected out of hand by non-technical people for lacking keywords.
I've also mentioned in another comment but in the market where I'm located (Eastern Europe) the Google Cloud sales-people are totally absent while MS has been very, very insistent in pushing Azure down people's throats. I think Google was expecting their cloud solution to be similar to how AdWords + Search worked for them, i.e. that they would need close to no sales-people down in the trenches because the product would almost sell by itself based on its technical merits alone, but apparently (as you well mention) the different cloud implementations are not that, well, different between them so it all comes down to which company was first in the market (AWS) and which company has got the best and most aggressive sales-people (MS).

This is the beguiling thing about mathematics: it is right there on the page in front of you, yet often so far from your grasp. How could a statement said so simply as "a^n + b^n = c^n has no solutions for n > 2" be so difficult to reason about? This duality of having something and not having it is something I've only experienced in mathematics and bad relationships.

It's not about understanding the notation, as others have said, it's about understanding the principles expressed by the notation. You may learn the grammar of a language, but that is a far journey from understanding its poetry, which is full of norms and views beyond what is captured by its grammar.

With T2: You can boot macOS securely, but everything else is still insecure.

If Apple had denied the option to disable secure boot, and didn't make any affordances to boot other OSes (albeit insecurely), we would indeed have lost freedom. The way they did it, we gained security within the macOS ecosystem without losing any freedom elsewhere.
Google Keep is basically Notebook with a mobile-focused design. It's so odd to me that they killed that product and then made an entirely new one a few years later with the same feature set.
The reason the IT policy failed in Brazil, IMHO, is because they did not do enough to spread knowledge and make the machines cheaper.

The UK had a marvelous project that put micros in every school (BBC Computer Literacy Project). You could see people use 8 bit micros in all sorts of applications (I remember a Master Compact kit being sold to handle magazine and newspaper subscriptions).

The Brazilian Sharp MSX (Hotbit) came out in 1985. It cost something like US$400. That same year, the Amiga 1000 came out. It was vastly superior, but it also cost 3 times as much. So I think the real failure was not putting to good use the technology Brazil had.

This. I mean you can google stuff like "what does the curly L mean" and it would tell you that it's a Lie derivative, but that wouldn't mean much to you unless you understood that it did.

So you need to understand the work and the math behind it and you will get an idea about the notations used. Not the other way round.
I'm worrying; could it hide the effects of global warming? (or whatever name is used now)

>A few rules, which happen to encompass the entire category usually discussed with the “mail your keys” thing

No it doesn’t encompass “the entire category”. Even in California deed in lieu of foreclosure cases (eg the bank agrees you can mail your keys in) banks can and do obtain defiency judgments in 5% of such cases.

It reminds me of student loans, where lawyers and layman constantly say student loans are not dischargeable in bankruptcy. But they are. Student loans have a higher standard to discharge than most other debts. I guess people can say it’s misleading to say student loans are discharable -but they are- even if it’s a low percentage. The important part of the discussion is again it’s possible.

Google is still at 3% market share which puts it at the same level as IBM Soft Layer and Rackspace.

Hey - I wrote this (http://minesafetydisclosures.com/blog/2018/6/18/costco)
I don’t think “free will” is a coherent concept. I’ve never seen a definition that actually makes sense.

There is no “you” besides the cells. Fundamentally, there’s no qualitative difference between some brain cells “deciding” to start replicating without limit, and some brain cells deciding to to swallow a lot of pills.
There is Google Lens now which to me looks like the same concept.
There is a significant difference between deterring personal crimes (e.g. robbery at gunpoint, carjacking, murder) and deterring 'economic crime'.

Some examples of economic crime would be: not implementing security, tax fraud, overweight freight trucks; speeding to make a delivery on time (whilst on the clock).

The first kind of crime is generally made by people who 'know they are wrong, but they feel like they don't have other options' or people who 'know they are wrong, but don't give a f*ck about that'. Especially that first type of person won't respond to more punishment.

The second kind of crime is much more calculated. Here, the response to harsher punishment would be a lot better.
This is generally why the fines on overweight trucks are so high. It is actually required in order to make the calculation unacceptable for driving overweight.
Our understanding of the neural tissue of the brain - as well as what it's actually doing are so poor, and the needs of what we're doing so different that there's a greater chance that our understanding of neural tissue is improved by developing our understanding of deep learning than the other way around.

To put it in bird flight analogy, by constructing airplanes and making it an exact science, we're able to get a much finer understanding of the pricipal problems in flight and get to appreciate the difference between the flight of colibris and bumblebees (who can't fly by gliding but must beat their wings frenetically) versus larger birds (which can fly by gliding, more closely resembling plane flight).
For a larger company, should be considerably higher.

Also, the ruling mentioned a reduced fine for cooperation and quick remediation.
This probably wouldn't play out so well with a bloated structure and process, as you mentioned.

Sorry, I'm confused, and I must admit that I haven't tried getting into China illegally (from Hong Kong or anywhere else for that matter), so I might be missing something.

I understand that HK and China share a land border. But AFAIK that is not a border you can just walk over - there's a river and a fence and guards and all. You can cross the border at designated border crossings, by foot or train, but you will have to go through HK immigration to leave HK and then mainland immigration to enter China.

To go from HK to Vietnam or Laos, you'd have to take a plane from HK, in which case you also have to go through HK immigration to leave HK.

It remains my impression that HK immigration, which one has to go through when departing HK (at the airport or the land border or the train to China or, before someone mentions that, the ferries to mainland or Macau), did not let him leave HK.

(As for pledging allegiance, again, the problem for that particular Chinese citizen was not entering China, the problem was leaving HK.)

Thus, I remain puzzled by the suggestion that he "just walk past to Shenzhen" or "get on a train". Swim over, sure, but walk or take a train?
