> I also think that if prices were available to people they might choose the preventative care themselves versus waiting until things are so bad that a major and costly intervention is needed.

Insert analogy with car maintenance here. I'm just not seeing it in practice given the car maint example, although it sounds nice. Clearly, based on the car example, you can't motivate people merely with $$$ or inconvenience or some responsibility guilt trip.

I'm thinking pain might work. "The total pain experience of a root canal is Y% vs flossing at a total pain experience of Z% make your choice..." Then again people seem impervious to pain, or impervious to learning from pain. "lets have another kid" "lets go on a fifteen mile hike in brand new boots" "hold my beer and watch this" If $, inconvenience, and guilt trips don't work, and pain also fails, I'm not sure whats left as a possible motivator.

Man I still drive my 1972 2002 around. Love every minute of it. I actually contemplated buying an e30 before my 2002.
I really didn't like it. It feels too much like an album intended for remixing; I don't think the songs stand up on their own. As a result, Alive 2007 turned out to be amazing, as they mix songs together and produce really good results.

Homework feels similar, I have a hard time just listening to the plain album. There's good stuff there, it's just too "raw". I don't have a good word.
Interesting - I'll take a look.

I'll leave the comment there for the sake of others being able to follow where this ended up but you are correct and to be frank it was a pretty terrible post on my part. The post only really needed the troubles of implementing it at the ISP level, if anything.

I was curious about this conjecture that the US doesn't make things, while Germany does. So I dug up [0], a table of "Manufacturing, value added (current US$)", and here are the top five countries for 2013:

1: China $2.9bn, 2: United States $1.9bn, 3: Japan $904m, 4: Germany $745m, 5: Korea $368m

Manufacturing in Germany may contribute a higher percentage of GDP, but it does not appear to have a larger (in dollars, according to this data) manufacturing base than the US in absolute terms.

In terms of programming and linear algebra - please consult someone who is actually knowledgeable about the subject if you're implementing it in code.

Linear algebra without error analysis is very dangerous. Many many things are theoretically useful, but can't be used in practice. You can't calculate determinants, you can't count unique eigen values, you can't use certain decompositions.

Unfortunately this isn't really topic you can do a quick tutorial on and start writing new algorithms

The American historian Joeseph Ellis has an interesting take on greatness. At the time of the American revolution, Virginia had about the same population as present day Wilkes-Barre Pennsylvania, yet it produced Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Henry, and Marshall. This suggests that there are many many latent bright minds at the scale of contemporary populations. It also suggests that any shortage May be a resource allocation issue.

> Let me ask you directly: if someone were to rob a bank and never get caught, did they do something illegal?

No conviction, no crime. I could, however, state that the bank was most likely robbed based on nothing more than accounting information. There's a crucial difference between stating that something happened and accusing a specific person of a criminal act.

> If not, how would you express the claim that they did something against the law?

As a witness to an act, I would state the facts as I observed them, without passing judgment myself. This is exactly what's done in court. "At time X I was at location Y, and I saw a person with features Z enter the bank, pass a piece of paper to a teller, and run out of the bank shortly thereafter with what appeared to be cash. I believe that person to be the defendant, who is sitting there (points)." The testimony of non-expert witnesses is limited to facts, not opinions. Because for all I know, the note could have been a valid withdrawal slip, the customer may have been in a hurry, and the money was actually stolen by a teller and an accomplice who used the rushed customer's large withdrawal as a cover (was the customer an accomplice? I don't know!).

If I were not a witness, I wouldn't make such a claim in the first place.
I think that the sad thing is that many of todays "future classics" wont be on the road in 40-50 years as the computers/sensors/gadgetry will be unavailable and just wont last. Meanwhile cars built before ~1975 will still be plugging along in all of their analog/mechanical goodness.
I'm pretty sure Indian Civil Servants are among the sharpest in the world.

In terms of effectiveness however , our bureaucracy is amongst the worst. Quite the paradox.

What if it's a devious scheme to cripple India? Take the best and the brightest minds the society has to offer and shackle them with a soul-crushing bureaucracy.
The counter measure to this is loudly speaking out, not other systems. When enough people speak out a system gets a reputation. It is how we understand a country as being corrupt or hostile. If they want to frame you, it is really, really easy. The problem they have is they can only frame a couple dozen people before they lose a huge amount of trust.
He's leaving a well paid job that gives him considerable influence because there are serious problems in academia that cant be solved easily. I find it difficult to imagine that he will find a alternate career path without that issue. Every profession/industry has serious systemic problems. I think the author needs to either search his heart more deeply to find out the real reason why he's leaving his job, or reconsider his decision to leave it if it's not too late.
What I see is a bunch of deleted comments to a question which has a high chance of getting strongly xenophobic but uninformative responses that violate Reddit's comment policy.

We know that HN, Reddit, and a bunch of other sites have restrictions on what can be posted. Some people call this censorship. Others say it's part of the freedom of association - there's no reason why HN, etc. have to host all forms of expression.

Without context - which this image link does not provide - why should we care? Why should I accept that this is 'censorship' in a form I should be concerned about?
One problem is that medicine is very counter-intuitive in terms of evaluating practitioners. Metrics that consumers think they would want to look at are very deceiving once you start digging into what's really going on. The reality is that often the best doctors work on extremely challenging cases that have both high costs and poor outcomes. Some doctors build practices that filter to select the easy cases (i.e. those with a large mismatch between allowed charges and actual resource needs). This allows them to push discounts do their patients aggressively because of the overall pool of cases they've selected. I haven't seen of any reasonable way of handicapping metrics that actually works, and frankly I would be extremely wary of anyone that claimed to have the answer. Honestly, I have no idea how you go about evaluating this situation as a consumer.
I think you are basically arguing the same point I am (current trends wouldn't approach human intelligence without exponential growth), except you are taking the optimist road and I'm taking the pessimistic road. I guess we will just have to wait and see!

How to start with AI and machine learning?
I've been coding for more than 14 years, but I haven't figures out how to really code AI, I've learned to code all my lufe on my own, I have made some basic AI but it's really complex full of recursuve functions, lots of ifs and complex ways of analyzing natural language, all done "handmade". I bet I'm doing it wrong, I'm doing it the way I can. How can I really start with this?

I was looking at the comparison like this:

we knew that many thousands of people were dying in car crashes and also that people wearing seat-belts survived crashes at a much higher rate.

we know that a small number of kids die but we don't have that same level of evidence that the proposed solution actually works.

That's an argument for doing more studies but not for buying a bunch of IoT stuff at steep prices.

Always-on displays that need to blend into their environments, like a smart thermostat, and where power consumption is a concern.

Hi, thanks for looking.
You don't have to do anything that you don't want to do.
I haven't had to rely a lot on math skills for a large portion of my career. For most "full-stack" stuff I've been involved with, it barely gets any higher than algebra. However, I've found math creep up though here and there, whether it be in understanding how projections worked in the mapping software I wrote, the computer graphics code I assisted with, and also in my routing algorithms for traffic flow.

Nowadays my lack of knowledge is most apparent in studying machine learning. There have been some very high level concepts employed, at least for me: Jacobian matrices, partial derivatives, tensors, etc. I've been able to fake that for a while, the algorithms get abstracted in the libraries. Yet the abstraction obscures a real understanding for me in how they work.

Yes, I fully understand why "alert-danger" is better than "alert-red". What I don't quite get is why "alert alert-danger" is better than "alert-danger". Isn't it possible - using a preprocessor - to maintain alert-danger, alert-warning etc? If multiple classes must be used, why not just "danger" which then allows the red coloration to be shared amongst different object types without being repeated.

Sweden tried it and had to go back on this due to liquidity drying up. By the way, we already have transaction taxes in the US. That's how we fund the SEC and CFTC. Every sale of stock is charged an SEC fee. The issue is, if you set these fees too high, then you will in fact harm investors by reducing liquidity.

The key there is that the patent-infringing items were never properly authorized by the patent holder. But a patent holder should not be able to prevent the resale of items he has previously licensed appropriately. Nor, IMHO, should he be able to attach conditions to his license: a sale is a sale, and once someone has sold something his interest in it should end.

That was my first thought - I selected some generic USB pedal, but it failed to arrive, so I used what I had at hand.

On a side note, 9 of those statements apply equally to any technical field. The only two that don't (deep learning and big data) can be substituted with the appropriate term du jour in the field.

For example, I'd argue they apply very well seismic interpretation in a business setting. The connotations change a bit, but the overall sentiment is identical.
The point of an eigenvector is that its direction is stable when you hit it with the given transformation. That is, it's an invariant direction of your transformation. This is analogous to the derivative of an exponential function being a simple multiple of that function. It makes it easier to reason about the action of the matrix, and simpler to represent.

Imagine I have a matrix transformation that takes a given input vector and converts it into a superposition of a thousand other vectors in random directions; that's far harder to reason about than if if just kicked it farther or brought it closer in the same direction.

What we have isn't really insurance, but health care supplements. Insurance is for unforeseen events. But US health insurance pays for regular checkups and procedures.

And I'll take our more expensive health care over any other system any day of the week. Because when the day comes when 1 of the 2 primary killers in the US comes for me (cancer and heart disease), no country in the world has better outcomes. And the US does it for a much more diverse, much larger, and unhealthy population. Cancer and heart disease outcomes are the best proxy for how well a health care system operates.

Yes, that's what I tried - but there was a case when next press or release happens while signal is already off-scale from previous event, and I failed to find any sane way to solve that case. Also, the scale on the images is 500ms per one red square, so you can see that waveforms extend over hundreds of milliseconds - thus there will be unbearable latency with that approach.
