Even the optimistic convergence-based scenarios of Eurostat population projection do not promise that this divide would vanish in the coming three decades (Fig. 4f).
The company's president and chief executive, Michael N. Garin, remains optimistic and says Digital Convergence is moving in new directions that will ultimately lead to success.
But he is clearly optimistic, arguing that "the convergence of moving images, text, sound and archive promises a golden age in how we understand the world".
The theme of "convergence" and his optimistic take on it are not enough to turn a disjointed flotilla of a book into an ocean-liner.
In Section 3, we give the optimistic solution algorithm and analyze the convergence.
Despite frustration, Reid said he was optimistic lawmakers would avoid plunging off the "cliff," a convergence of an estimated $600 billion in tax increases and spending cuts.
Even though it is well known by scientists interested in theory that bootstrap values give no indication of whether there is a systematic problem within the data set [ 13], that Bayesian support values may be too optimistic [ 14], and that a bias may cause convergence to an incorrect tree, most biologists still rely on bootstrapping or on Bayesian support values.
Thus, we introduce suitable concepts of regularized semi-quasivariational optimistic bilevel problems and we study, in Banach spaces, the convergence properties of the infima and minima to these regularized problems in the presence or not of perturbations.
"The idea of a kind of convergence of human and machine looks today both oddly optimistic and exaggeratedly dystopian," Jones points out.
This, combined with the reality of increasing convergence of Chinese and U.S. perspectives and interests, leaves me cautiously optimistic (or perhaps, just hopeful) about the path ahead.
There has been a "convergence" of Soviet & American systems rather different from that envisaged in the optimistic theories either of American analysts of the mid-1960s of of the dissident Soviet scientists at the end of the decade.
