genofon··on Ham on Nye: The high cost of “winning” an evolution/creation debate
it's unbelievable that the argument of the creationist guy was: "it's not true cause you didn't observe it" and "the evidence it's god's word" as god was something we can all observe...

how can you discuss on this nonsense?

And just out of curiodity, how are you getting on with ML?
genofon··on How Does This Not Blow Your Mind?
I really hate titles that don't say anything about the topic, sadly they are more and more frequent on HN, I now stopped reading or upvoting those posts and I hope more people will do the same to these attention seekers
genofon··on Ask HN: Where is "Big Data" on the Hype cycle?
My rule of thumbs is that we are at the peak when big networks invite "Experts" to talk about"the new revolution".. Unfortunately i don't turn the TV on anymore

sorry was my mistake
genofon··on The Price We Pay for Cheap Meat
humans are animals, nothing more, nothing less. I'm not against improving animal's conditions, but I have the impression that most of the activist don't have much contact with nature and they feel that we are superior, so we don't follow nature's rule.

the reality is that a lot of people still struggle to survive like other animals, and it can be brutal.

genofon··on Humanity wasted 14,526 years watching Gangnam Style
a bit arrogant as other people point it out but also makes a wrong comparison! WW1 lasted six years but the time wasted was much more, multiply it by the number of people involved (the soldiers alone were 68 millions) and the time spent on reconstruction and you got a much higher value, in the order of hundred of millions years.

genofon··on A Course in Machine Learning
please change the logo! I'm not trying to be jerky, it's always remarkable that someone wants to share his knowledge and I know probably it's not your priority, but the book and website will be better off without it.

also why do you have the topics "introduction to machine learning" and "decision trees" in the same chapter?

genofon··on Overpopulation Is Not the Problem
The way I see is that technology goes with the money. The demographic boom is happening mostly in the third world which company will invest in technology to make resources available to all the people? and these countries that are facing the challenge of an increasing population will exploit the resources that they have too fast? that's what append in Easter Island: the population cut all the trees and they disappeared from the face of the heart.

genofon··on Why I Just Closed My LinkedIn Account
the call to action it's up to you I guess, the author exposed some annoying, dishonest and potentially dangerous interaction that LinkedIn is using.

when you read the news do you ask yourself: "what's the call to action of this article?"

genofon··on I Wasn’t Prepared to Work
I think the point is another: it seems that only if you do maths you are smart. And whey all the formulas at the beginning, to make sure the reader think you are smart? You might have lost some abilities in that field but you gained others, to me more valuable than doing demonstrations.

If you like math do something with that, to me it seems that academia is more suitable for what you want from your life.

genofon··on Join Wall Street. Save the world
This is so stupid.. so instead of working to make the world a better place let's speculate on everything, trying to rip of as much as we can so then we can give our money away. It's like working as a lumberjack and then use your wages to plant other trees, you will never be able to replant what you destroyed previously
