Let's do it. Real-life applications make it more interesting

I want to try this. Has any here create bot scraping data from social media (including converting video to text) and use those data as their datasets to make some predictions. Just thinking if there could a very cheap way to achieve this in Python/R. I have seen some bot on youtube commenting "I love this content" or "can I be your friend" on tragedy videos or calling a female youtube channel owner "dude". So, people quickly know the person commenting is not human. Need some knowledge about that and I want to try it this month.

Test: Hmm, it is risky but you are already in it so let me tell you a practical way out. There are tests that can reveal chromosomal abnormalities in a foetus. These tests can also reveal sickle cell anaemia. The tests are called amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling (CVS). They are not expensive but if you want to do it, use a reputable hospital. Those tests can reveal Down syndrome too. That's why nowadays they don't have many Down syndrome children in advanced countries. Doctors advise couples to abort once the test reveals it.

Abortion: If your faith is not against abortion, you will keep aborting the foetus once the test reveals it's SS. I know some people that aborted up to 3 before they get an AA or AS. Some couples are lucky, the two S's genes in both husband and wife are not perking in all their pregnancies.

IVF: Some people that their faiths are against abortion do IVF to console their faith. They think because IVF is not naturally conceived, aborting it once the foetus is able to reveal the Genotype is not really an abortion. I wish the tests can perfectly risk-free reveal the genotype before the Embryo is transferred to a woman uterus during IVF, it would have been a perfect solution for those against abortion. The present method of genotyping embryo (PCR) has a lot of risks. Cos there won't be any form of guilt destroying an embryo that is still in a test tube. Hopefully, future Ob/Gyn students researches can make the embryo genotyping less risky.

Personally, I don't think abortion in a situation like this is a sin cos, people abort complicated pregnancies that could take their lives.

Trust me, it is very expensive to manage SS children. I knew a family who has 5 children and 3 are SS. The 3 SS children eventually died after spending so much money on them. The parents are rich cos they have a fish depot but they wasted all their money on the children hospital bills. Remember our hot humid weather is not favourable for SS and we also have a poor healthcare system.

Wow. Hotcake. Since your dream is to become a computer scientist. Start teaching yourself Python, R, SAS and maybe SQL. They are easy languages to pick. With that, you can traject your career towards Data Science. A data Scientist is simply a Statistician who knows how to program a little bit. Data rules the world now and Statistics is one of the best fields to be right now. At least you can see how Facebook, Twitter, Instagram are controlling our minds today.
While your lecturers are teaching you those Linear regressions, classifications, Bayes, discrete maths, probabilities, don't study them to just pass, understand how they work in data. You will need the knowledge to solve real-life problems.

Don't use must. Even if they go to the best academy in the world, their chance of playing Pro football is 1/100. and their chance of playing in countries (England, Spain, Italy, Germany, France) where they will be paid well is far far worse. You can check the stats online. Do you know how many skilful kids striving hard to play pro football? Kids from South America, North America, Africa, Europe. They are not thousands but millions. So, Let your kids follow their hearts/area of strengths. God may design them to be football club owners not players, don't tamper with that.

laosy:
Omo, even though it's late for me, my children must play football , children that have passion for football in saner country go to football academy immediately after highschool, not like this Nigeria that everyone must go to university before they know you're serious.

Lucky dude. He works hard.

Cost of production. We need to drag those oil companies into this too.

I hope we can get to the space level in 50 yrs. This generation is so blessed. Knowledge has become "pure water". You can have a whole library on your phone. You can walk around with 1000TB of data in a small SSD. You can learn anything on YouTube. The principles are there, some people have suffered to come out with those principles, all we just need to do is copy, paste and improve. Unfortunately in this part of the world, we are blessed with bad leaders.

Why do our leaders keep doing wrong projects? For now, Nigerians don't need stadiums. At least, we know what happened to Abuja stadium that we wasted millions of dollars on.
Road, Power, food sufficiency are crucial and have direct economic importance on people.

Must we commission? This is strange to me. We are in the middle of a crisis but we still have time to be commissioning.

I laugh out loud when people think Africans are not decent. Human beings are human beings everywhere, it's law enforcement that is taming the beast in the hearts of people living in advanced countries. At least we can all see Americans doing the same thing we do during a protest. They are looting, fighting, shooting, etc.

That blood transfusion one is really crazy. I heard of a pregnant woman that died last year because she refused to take blood transfusion. Because there is no matching blood should not even be in the statement. Don't bring Doctors into that belief. Once the ABO blood group and RhD antigen matches, you can take blood transfusion and there won't be any complication.

The Greek Freak and AJ. I wish both of them good luck this year when the world is open again. I hope Giannis wins MVP & the Championship this season. I pray Joshua wins his mandatory fights.

They are in Naira. I think the post is referring to Dollar cos all pictures displayed are Billionaires in $

Morray:
I can sight Rozz viewing . The girl with no head

Oyedepo,ibiyomie,oyakhilome,Suleiman et al are all billionaires




I still buy fairly used iPhones from 7+ up

Strong lady.

At least she didn't touch the innocent side chick, that's good. The side chick might not know he's married.

Better by far. My Alma Mater. I was expecting to see something better

why do we like to destroy things? The estate could become Govt property.

Boko boys in trouble

Your opinion may not be popular in this part of the world but I think you are making sense. Advanced countries have a way to know the state of the baby before the birth period, and they sometimes recommend abortion if they discover the baby won't be normal. They recommend abortion of babies suspect to come out retards. It will be left for the parents to accept or not. I know someone that Doctors told that her baby may come out with a one rare mental retards issue and they recommend abortion but she disagreed and luckily the baby came out fine. Some people say the test is 50-50. A conspiracy theory says they are using it to control the black population in America cos the larger percentage of pregnant women that the US doctors always recommend abortion for are blacks. I don't think the test can discover cases like dwarfism, deafness and dumbness.

I believe there is a purpose for every child but not all families have the strength to manage children with challenges. It takes all from you. The mother may have to stop working. It's the mother that bears the brunt. Men always continue their lives. So, if you are in a similar situation where Doctors give you options, don't let the man make the decision.

TheSourcerer:
As grotesque as it may sound , not all children should live , this life is full of pain , allowing them to first grow as orphans then as differently abled would definitely affect them .

Bitter experience. We need to work on our maternal mortality. Government should fund their surgery.

Don't forget he's the father of Papaism and Prosperity Gospel in Nigeria and we would have been better off today without that. I respect him but some of those past papa's and present papa's mistakes will take many years to clean up.

BuhariNaWah:
The great Archbishop's name is still being mentioned 22 years after his death.


What will you be remembered for?
Yes! I am talking to you!

If you get the heart, cool money dey North o. There is less competition, so business ideas thrive in there. If you want to quickly make it in the North, your biz ideas must capture the rich among them. They take their time to build trust especially if you are from the South, but once they trust you, c'est fini. They can even give you their hearts. That's why some of our Igbo Brothers can NEVER leave the North even at gunpoint.

Assorted. His prison will be assorted too.

Wow. This is funny. The man spoke a lot.

No. She wasn't tested negative. The only thing she's complaining about is that they are not giving her the test reports. Even when she was released, they told her she's not yet negative. The story is online. Right now, she should self-isolate to avoid spreading it. Asymptomatic guys are more dangerous. They will look good, and no symptoms at all.

smallsmall:
But what makes her so special that after five tests that came out NEGATIVE in the last sixty+ days, they still want to give her another test, after clearing her and releasing her?
Na only this woman dey Nigeria or is she the Mother of Buhari?

She should be grateful that she has access to test

These cult guys behave as if they have 10 lives..

Beautiful!
