America's unique gun violence problem, in 17 maps and charts
America is an exceptional country when it comes to guns. It's one of the few countries in which the right to bear arms is constitutionally protected, and presidential candidates in other nations don't cook bacon with guns. But America's relationship with guns is unique in another crucial way: Among developed nations, the US is far and away the most violent — in large part due to the easy access many Americans have to firearms.

Artificial Intelligence Is Predicting Human Poverty From Space
“Our basic approach involved a machine learning technique called ‘transfer learning,’ which is the idea that you can solve a hard problem—in our case, predicting poverty from satellite images—by trying to solve an easier one.

Those are your weeks and they’re all you’ve got. Given that fact, the only appropriate word to describe your weeks is precious. There are trillions upon trillions of weeks in eternity, and those are your tiny handful. Going with the “precious” theme, let’s imagine that each of your weeks is a small gem, like a 2mm, .05 carat diamond.
