Thomas Bayes was a British minister of the cloth. He was an amateur mathematician. At the time Sir Isaac Newton was the Head of the Royal Society - a science organisation. Newton invented calculus, but to put it bluntly, he was a complete prick and got into fights with everyone and sued as many people as possible. Bayes wrote a newspaper article defending Newton. Newton rewarded him by making him a member of the Royal Society. Since Bayes was a member, he thought that he should make a contribution to science. He used his math background to create formulas to prove the existence of God. Everyone said "That's a-nice" and put them on the shelf for over 200 years. Then they were dusted off, and now they are the basis of computer artificial intelligence. Irony !
LOL medicine -- not traversing a graph -- searching with weak and strong protocols in a Bayesian fashion via graph edges using brand new algorithm (full disclosure -- I do not know what this means -- the person looking over my shoulder does).
Totally concur with your sentiment. Bahamians need to be empowered. They need a society of empowerment, not being put down. But you don't create by locking up the society, but by opening it up.
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. https://arxiv.org/pdf/1710.08291.pdf According to a geek sitting nearby, he says that finding data via sql is old hat and the principles have changed using graph searches and edges. The opening 2 lines of the paper that he referred me to that he is trying to implement is: We consider the task of rendezvous in networks modeled as undirected graphs. Two mobile agents with different labels, starting at different nodes of an anonymous graph, have to meet.
Birdie, I will try to be kind. It is a chore, but I will. There is a major difference between elite and functional. Why do you think, as a country, we are so low on the human development index?
What most unenlightened folks don't realise, is that protectionism is just for people who are bad at what they do. They can't compete without state protection. If we ever want to rise up, we need to up our game, and get decent benchmarks like foreigners who know how to do a job and do it efficiently. If a foreign comes in and generates huge economic offset, we all win -- even the person who's job was taken. It's a fact.
We use the latest in technology to create algorithms to trade stocks, derivatives, bonds , securities and synthetics. Our staff of PhD mathematicians devise new algorithms every quarter, and they have to be rushed into production. I don't wish to argue with you. I am just pointing out the realities in our office. Not only do the programmers need to be well versed in whatever language, they need to be very well versed in math. One coding sheet I saw said "Take the resultant array values and compute the Pearson Co-efficient". Not your father's programmer.

Good Luck. Hope it takes off !!

How much do you figure that we are talking here? What would be the price on a distressed hotel property in Freeport?
The trick een buying it, the trick is to make it profitable. That is the nigh impossible task.
