I agree with you and would like to add that he is probably not the best non-korean Protoss either. The blog presenting AlphaStar itself only claims he is one of the worlds strongest players and link to this post: https://liquipedia.net/starcraft2/2018_StarCraft_II_World_Ch... showing Mana at 5th best non-korean Protoss players in the World Championship series.
AlphaStar has gotten critisism for it having unfair advantages. It was 5-0 against Mana when it could see and control the whole map at once for example. But after a camera-restriction was given (so it sees the map like humans) it lost 0-1.
With all this said, it is still impressive. Best bot we have by far in sc2!
1) The Morning Paper - blog.acolyer.org - A new super interesting paper review everyday
2) This is my personal ritual. Every weekday I check out recent entries in "Hardware architectures" and "Emerging Technologies" section of arXiv.org
Many other sections are gaining traction with me, like Database.
Oh yes, I do read Fermat's library, but that's more into pure mathematics side, which means I need to put in 3X the efforts to understand the papers, which I do.
Javascript seems to have many (if not all) of the same issues. I learnt this firsthand a while ago when I knew nothing about these issues and just assumed that getting the Date of a particular time instant would be an easy task. See rant below:
"In a later study, researchers at Stockholm University showed that the main difference in terms of criminal activity between immigrants and others in the population was due to differences in the socioeconomic conditions in which they grew up in Sweden."
That means that the most important factor in terms of criminal activity is that immigrants are largely poor and poor commit more crimes. Not that rich immigrants perform as much crimes as the poorest of non-immigrants.
Or do you disagree with that assesment of what the study said?
The point is that most of these immigrants are poor, correspondingly prone to crime, and therefore not the sort of people you want to blast into your tiny population by the tens of thousands. Things are also confounded by the fact that most of these people are heavily theologically indoctrinated, making social integration and upward mobility effectively impossible, so they're going to stay poor.

This is when your biases are walking uninvited into a discussion about data.
Pew research does per-country religious belief surveys. I think you will find it very enlightening to look up the religious beliefs of the average Syrian.
And can you tell me what makes someone a refugee? Whether an average refugee is ideologically/culturally identical to the average non-refugee from that country? And how about a refugee who's choosing to go live in a country very different from their own?
Pointing us to "per-country religious belief surveys" is incredibly simplistic.
Which facts? What do you base this belief on? Any sources to any studies?
Swedens tiny population of 10 million can't handle immigration of tens of thousands? That's laughabale, it's been doing exactly that for decades now. Iraq, Iran, Bosnia, Kosovo, Somalia, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Afghanistan, Iraq again, Ukraine, Syria. Only recently has a resistance to these policies been seriously challenged...
Upwards mobility will happen, even during the worst conditions, like the slavery in US, did they manage to break free. This is not about when but how, true solidarity or true civil war and tragedy..
