Data.
You cannot learn what is genuinely random - but once you get started with ML you will be amazed at what you find is not as random as you had thought.

You have to inhale vapor in the bar for a whole hour to get drunk? I don't think Nagy has the patience!

Yeah, he might not, but he could get some exercise, I guess...walking around the bar, sippin' the vapor.

Sorry Emilio, was out on a bender with the Missus last night when you posted this. Don't think alcoholic mist would have been acceptable to her, not a chance for me.

The version I'm familiar with is that by Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen - a great rockabilly/Americana band!
Your understanding these is predicated on having similar life experiences as me; if you were born in the late 1950s, in California, are well-versed in music and popular (especially U.S.) culture and history, you'll probably get most of it.

If you had a few of these created by someone, you could give them to a...I don't know, social scientist? Psychologist? Psychiatrist?...??? and they would be able to determine with a great degree of accuracy who you are (where you're from, your age, your gender, your interests, your preferences, etc.)
Of course, if you knew in advance that you were going to be thus analyzed, you could "game" the system to quite an extent.

I hope I got the spelling right.
I was planning on migrating permanently to MM's country but bombed the English test required for the visa application. For the second time. 
I f#cking hate exams. No matter how much I prepare, I freak out during the actual thing.
It is worse during interviews. The only thing I hate more than exams is talking to people about myself. Programmer interviews should be carried out online, via IRC or something like that. If I wanted to talk to real people, I would be in marketing.

There are no real people in marketing!

No, but the marketing mob talk to real-people. Or at least, that was the point I derived from the comment.

Did you put too many rs in fark?
How the hell do you fail the English exam? Is English not your native tongue? Why would the antipodeans even require that? They barely speak the Queen's English as it is.

Why on Earth would we want to speak the Queen's English? We speak strine!
(and whoever did the test must have been having a bad day because it's not like we can understand have of what people say in Australia anyway - especially the Queenslanders)

No, you need to do much better if you're going to wade into the UK vs Oz debate.
Firstly, the term is "self employed entrepreneur", and secondly, given the choice between living in cold, damp, dark, over-crowded England and warm, sunny Australia, who do you think got the better end of the deal?
