Even if they are non-profit, they need to attract doctors and will be located where it is easier for doctors to commute to work. No point building a hospital in a locality where no doctor would be willing to work. Inconvenient, but better then no hospital.

Are you kidding!
18,000 sq miles is twice the size of Maryland. Any fire this large anywhere in the world should concern us all and highlights the accelerating environmental crisis.

No.. Not really. Majority of it comes from other forms of taxations such as income, sales and property taxes.

without the overhead and disadvantages that smaller companies have and this is what allows them to out-compete and kill the competition. If the same thing happened to a small business, it would be shunned in society and quickly driven to oblivion by public, if not by the legal process.

I understand the problem of moderating live content on such a large global platform is difficult, but technological limits should not be the argument for bending around legal boundaries and compliance expectations.

And live streaming of murders is not free speech. Everything has limits and should comply with social norms of what is acceptable and ethical behavior.

It is time that larger organizations were forced to deal with the issues that come with size and scale. If that levels the playing ground and allows for more competition then it will be a good thing to have.

While Mathematics does not have a Grand Unified Theory equivalent, the millennium prize problems are considered most challenging mathematical problems that are still unsolved. And some of them definitely have real world implications (e.g. P vs NP problem).

Nearly every aspect of your modern life is fulfilled with help of science and technology that has some basis on concepts formulated in pure mathematics. Historically several topics in applied mathematics have started with abstract origins with little or clue on their eventual application areas during their early years.

I would suggest starting here: https://mathoverflow.net/quest...

If you still are unconvinced, I am sorry for your loss.

Did you even check the paper at: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1803.041...

The abstract states "We apply basic statistical reasoning to signal reconstruction by machine learning — learning to map corrupted observations to clean signals — with a simple and powerful conclusion: under certain common circumstances, it is possible to learn to restore signals without ever observing clean ones , at performance close or equal to training using clean exemplars."

The results show dramatic improvements that are very close to original image (before random noise is introduced to generate the input)- a level of improvement that is simply not possible with conventional image processing/denoising filters.

If this is not AI, I don't know what else would be.

I am actually surprised this was not already so. Typical chinese meal is healthier and more balanced than western diet and most people in asia still cook their food.

The only thing holding back was healthcare and as economy grew, it has caught up as well.

The amount of waste generated per person in US and other developed nations is shocking and with countries like China and India fast catching up, similar lifestyle is not sustainable globally. Even with all the progress in recycling, lot of it slips out and ends up in our food chain.
The use of plastics especially for disposable items is irresponsible. I wish these were not so cheap and the real cost of disposal and ecological impact was factored in their price. Trying to convince the public for more environmentally responsible behaviour is an exercise in futility and people always take the easy way. Money is the only thing that seems to have real impact these days.

Tesla does not have any technological advantage in this field. Unlike a car battery, grid storage does not need to be compact or lightweight. Traditional companies such as Siemens have considerable breadth of expertise with large scale implementations that only show up in industry publications: https://www.energystoragenetwo...

Years ago when I was new to the US, I was pulled up by a cop and asked to go for the mission test with precise location and time-frame. I was flummoxed and genuinely surprised and the cop just smiled and walked away.
Took me a while to figure out that I needed to get emissions tested for my car.

Always wondered why. Does it touch a nerve that forces an emotional kneejerk response?

Over time I know moderation will kick in to adjust such posts (which typically are a minority) vs logically reasoned and interesting content that will eventually surface. But I think it is interesting to reflect on the psychological basis for the need to respond immediately by someone holding a specific viewpoint vs rest of us.

Very user friendly and supports Kodi, Netflix and Youtube properly. The only negative I have found is the lack of ethernet port, but that is solved by a USB to ethernet adapter.
Low price allows me to upgrade sooner when the next version comes along.

For people in the Heliophysics community, the terminology in GOLD abbreviation is more accurate and appropriate definition of the mission. It might not be to the common person, but you were never their audience.
