The expected (in statistical sense) number of rotations needed is 32 but it could be as low as 24.

Now that I think it better that means the shuffle was fixed.

'expats' are very entitled; they want all the conveniences of a 'third world country' (they will call it 'shithole' when their n-th consecutive entry is denied) they want all the cheap rent;services;food ; they want to use the roads; sidewalks; beaches; national parks; police; emergency services but god forbid you ask them to pay income taxes as a local if they are going to work from their host country ' it is preposterous; i already paid 10% vat on my 2 dollar frapuccino'

Who is "We" here? Because I would easily bet this is not the case for most of the population in the world

> Anyone who wasn't a catholic was probably considered subhuman by the truly appalling conquistadors

Thanks God for the superior and enlightened British colonizers,you can see the different policies in current native populations in the US compared to the Spanish-ravaged south.

> news to me.

Spoken like one who has not spent 1 min with people with Native-American ancestors.

The market will always exist: pedophiles. They have been and will be among us until the end of times.

> Fighting the crime directly is important, but so is doing it indirectly.

Yes, but the difference is so abysmal that you know where is more important to put the effort. Stopping even 1 child of being abused is better than stopping the sharing of 1 million child porn pics.

f'(x) is just A , not Ax,

1) An article mentioning how China paid a substantial amount of Euros for a majority holding in the Piraeus port, when the European nations were squeezing Greece. According to Varoufakis, the initial deal was even better for Greece, which China investing a very risky 1.5 billion in greek bonds (essentialy Junk)

2. The second link dont mention China at all, it is just an article about the oil explotaition in Ghana and how it had presumably failed to bring the promised goods to the people in the villages where oil is prospected. Even if true, the promises are made by local politicians, not Chinese bureaucrats.

3) The SriLankan links is about how a journalist feel humilliated because China has been granted the lease of a SriLankan port after lendings up to 5 billion dollars have gone unpaid.

So these are the kind of links you are bringing to the table, multibillion dollar deals in China get some leases, and you are compariung them with 125k USD for 7% of the company. Last time I checked China does not own 7% of Greece, Sri-Lanka or Ghana, so I must conclude you are a dumb person letting his latent racism to take over or you are aware you are acting on bad faith and you just dont care.

I suppose I dont belong to the enlightened crowd when I dont understand quotes like these:

> “Is e=mc2 a sexed equation? Perhaps it is. Let us make the hypothesis that it is insofar as it privileges the speed of light over other speeds that are vitally necessary to us. What seems to me to indicate the possible sexed nature of the equation is not directly its uses by nuclear weapons, rather it is having privileged what goes the fastest.”

If you know the distribution of the phenomenon under study you dont need ML, that is what probability is for.

> or make an explicit assumption and assume the risk of being wrong

No.You have the Bias/Variance tradeoff here.You can make an explicit assumption about your model or not.

> Using (1), you calculate how much data you need so you get an estimation error below x%

This is extremely complicated for anything except the most trivial toy examples, probably not solvable at all and definitely not the way biological intelligent systems (aka some humans) do it.
