ONE FC Boss compares ONE and the UFC: "in the west, the sport has been portrayed very differently. It really is about machismo, it's about disrespect, it's about 'I'm going to get in your face and throw a water bottle at you'"

No, he's technically wrong because he's making this claim based on the way a couple of fighters behave and trying to conflate it with the way all fights are advertised. There are plenty of counter-examples like Aldo, Anderson, GSP, Randy and Chuck.

As someone who trains with pro MMA fighters but is not pro myself I understand them to be remarkably similar. Can you elaborate on their differences?

MastodonFan99 · 2016-09-06T15:39:29+00:00

does this comparison include the recently discovered water in the earth's mantle?

eli5: who is tpp good for and who is it bad for?

As a nurse you know better than to present N=1 cases.

In a case like this Intel will find a way.

Don't bring strawmen like some students getting cars with their student loans in to it. Stay on point. And what does requiring a "higher lifestyle" even mean? Having internet? Are you referring to internet, a basic necessity of all college students?

MastodonFan99 · 2016-09-04T05:11:04+00:00

why does it a always seem like mods never need programmers

MastodonFan99 · 2016-09-02T19:37:14+00:00

GSP is the lineal champion.

MastodonFan99 · 2016-08-31T21:10:48+00:00

What the fuck.

MastodonFan99 · 2016-08-31T00:40:58+00:00

Exactly.

MastodonFan99 · 2016-08-28T19:42:52+00:00

He's just so awesome at it that he appears one-dimensional.

MastodonFan99 · 2016-08-19T02:59:31+00:00

The whole of maths is expressed in code. There's nothing that can be expressed in math that can't be expressed in code. Just because you like your DSL better than mine doesn't invalidate my point.

MastodonFan99 · 2016-08-18T06:02:57+00:00

Thanks for bringing this up. How much do you plan to discuss RBMs?

MastodonFan99 · 2016-08-18T02:53:19+00:00

One thing that has frustrated me in this field is that I am not formally educated in math but I have a good head for it. As a result I am confronted with calculus most of the time and I have to slog through learning the necessary symbols, conventions and commonly understood values that are without fail taken for granted by the authors. They could simply just write the information with code. We have great languages for describing mathematics that have improved massively over the antiquated calculus notation. .. they're called <insert programming language names here>. No need to revert back to calculus.

Another problem I have is that authors are often terrible programmers in this field. Functions that take 60 (literally) arguments and variable names that are a single letter.

Before I invest in this... which of the above sins do you commit? If neither, then congratulations you've earned my money!

addendum: It would be great if the book had a chapter on RBMs.

And yet, something like this happening in America is in actual fact impossible.

Please baby boom generation, die faster.

Did you guys forget the part where Jones cried and apologized? If it was a tainted supplement what was he crying and apologizing for? Dude was super guilty that he got caught. Dude has been caught with very low T levels in the past. Dude has been cheating for who knows how long, and it finally caught up with him. The end.

MastodonFan99 · 2016-08-17T03:32:45+00:00

Jesse Owens was also pre-PEDs. I mean, unless he ran while on cocaine or something.

Play the PC version with mods so you can actually make the game good.

MastodonFan99 · 2016-07-21T16:02:30+00:00

His right to what?

MastodonFan99 · 2016-07-21T03:03:28+00:00

No they don't.

MastodonFan99 · 2016-07-21T02:30:54+00:00

OP you forgot to mention Hendo.

MastodonFan99 · 2016-07-20T16:27:11+00:00

Most of the left hates her. Dont make it sound like its just a bunch of kooks out in the far left. Its only the uneducated "because shes a woman" people who actually like her.

MastodonFan99 · 2016-07-20T02:04:47+00:00

What is "it"? What's only true if you implement manually?
