Pers Brinch Hansen is correct. I enjoy Unix, but it doubtlessly has led to a widespread creative drain among the hacker community. Occasionally there is something like DragonFly BSD, MINIX 3 and to a lesser extent Solaris/illumos which tries to do something more daring (a shame QNX is proprietary), but the Unix architecture entails subscribing to quite a lot of assumptions which imply a level of path dependence. You can see this in the way that OSes which tried to improve on Unix like Spring (which you ostensibly revile -- by the way, is there any way an amateur like me could possibly obtain a copy, or is it lost?), Amoeba and Sprite, failing to gain traction.

The main innovation is allowing curing whilst submerged by using an oxygen permeable membrane. This allows continuous curing, which creates really high quality plastics - supposedly equivalent to injection moulds, really high resolution models - high enough to generate smooth slants, and really fast print times - over an order of magnitude improvement.

Ah, time travel isn't science fiction. Clearly we have concrete experiments that show this is common place, easy and done all the time.

Is it impractical to have the braking spin up a flywheel which then gets used to start the train moving when it departs? With the energies involved, I can only imagine that would end up being a monster flywheel with size, safety, and reliability concerns. And the energy from the flywheel would also be wasted overcoming its own inertia.

Some good stuff there indeed. The Game, Predictably Irrational, The Mating Mind, and Lord of the Rings stand out to me as excellent suggestions. I'm just now starting book 12 of Jordan's Wheel of Time series, and while I've enjoyed it so far, I'm not sure I'd cite it as "thought provoking". Entertaining, yes, and certainly worth reading, but the series doesn't stand out to me in that way.
I don't think "nanny state rules" would be throwing anyone under the bus. I certainly believe that the collective poor health of the country in general is a good argument against socialized healthcare. But I want it to work. But I don't think that everyone is ready for the responsibility, so we should guide them with a heavy hand. After all, universal healthcare means that everyone must be included.

Just because I happen to be healthier than some of the people around me doesn't mean I am better than them in any way. I meant to highlight that we in the USA don't have to look very far to see why our insurance premiums went up so much.
A Huge List of Machine Learning and Statistics Repositories
A)

If a beverage has a certain number of calories from sugar per volume, it doesn't really matter whether it's cola-flavored, orange-flavored, vanilla-flavored, tea-flavored, natural-flavored, artificially-flavored, carbonated, uncarbonated, caffeinated, or uncaffeinated. They're all functionally soft drinks, from a dietary perspective, but the graph that charts the decline in carbonated soda does not show the other members in this group.

.

B)

I actually harbor a hypothesis that I have not seen explored which would explain this even if we take it on face value. Contrary to traditional sources of sugar and starch, sweet beverages cause an absorption of sugar unimpeded by the normal vagaries of digestion - there's no chewing, nothing to slow a person down, no cell walls to slowly break down in the stomach, no fiber to absorb and slowly squeeze out the calories.

In the 90's, I used to drink two or three liters of birch beer for something to do while waiting for the pizza. You can keep pouring orange soda into a human body without complaint, long after they would have vomitted up a sugar-equivalent cherry pie. And often our behavior shifts to adopting soda whenever we look for a drink, as the default, several times a day.

We know that blood sugar spikes cause insulin spikes, and we know that ghrelin, insulin, & related hormones act together to modulate the hunger & satiety responses.

My hypothesis is that rapid sugar intake via drinks, when combined with our natural impulse to slake our thirst, acts to dysregulate our hunger and satiety responses in the longer term. Through whatever processes, it detaches hunger from ad libitum consumption levels, sufficient that an extra few hundred calories per day is the 'natural' level that affected people, on average, feel they should be eating. 100 extra calories a day over burn rate is about 10lbs/year of gained weight.

.

C) Obesity is a lagging indicator here. People faced with an ad libitum diet find it very, very easy to maintain their weight. There seems to be a nearly universal misconception that baseline gluttony is associated with high weight levels, but that's bullshit. A person weighing 300lbs has roughly the same neurochemical hunger/stress response as a person weighing 150lbs, when you shortchange them each by 500 calories a day relative to their metabolic burn rate: It's just that metabolic burn rate goes way up as one gains weight. Maintaining weight is the default state. The mystery is why people are on average slowly gaining weight, rather than why fat people are not losing weight.
There is a popular theory that diary based products are bad for health. Who decides the sides and how does he make the decision?

Ah, Google does have an "idiot detector". I knew they'd need that. I was once thinking in terms of classifying other moving objects using RPG categories. A bike messenger is "chaotic good" - they may break rules but are trying to avoid collisions. Act predictably and let them avoid you. Drunks are "chaotic neutral" - expect random behavior, don't try to predict their movement, allow lots of extra clearance and leave room for evasive action. Cars or pedestrians trying to cut you off, harass you, or cause a collision are "chaotic evil" - take evasive action and leave area, or emergency stop.

>However Mathematics are different. It's not a perception. It even allowed us to discover things we could not perceive, and explore things we cannot perceive. It is independent from us and the universe.

You only say that as someone inside a universe with mathematics entangled with it. I don't think we can say anything about mathematics being "independent of the universe" just because we conceive them with our minds.

One could imagine another "universe" where even standard logic (A=A for starters) doesn't hold.
I know that. Actually it was the basketball players and other pro athletes that I always thought looked so ridiculous using iPhones before the 6.

Is Google selling you it's search engine, so you can mod it? No. And I don't think they will sell their cars either. They will probably offer free Ubers to select destinations. And what class of car you get, depends on how much money the "destination" pays them to deliver you.
Even so, all of these have at least an egg's worth of protein and a little bit of fat, pushing them even higher in the nutrition department. Which is nice.
It may be painfully obvious to an expert, but most people don't actually care.
I'd rather see self-driving buses and trains that run on clean renewable energy than self-driving cars. But Google won't do that because there's no individual trackability with mass transportation. And remember, Google is an advertising media company, and their business is individual surveillance of all human behavior. Hard to do in mass transportation. Easy to do, in fact, a bonanza, when done in individual vehicles. I fully expect Google to pursue this vigorously: target who's in these cars, where they're going, what their life history is, interests, aspirations, friends, etc, and then upsell the hell out of them while the car's moving -- hey, we're about to ride by your favorite store and we know you've been searching for prices on XYZ, well this store will offer you and you alone a special 20% off if we pull over now. In fact they'll run out to the car and hand an XYZ to you, you can go home with it today, and hey we'll take care of the credit card transaction, what do you say? Shall we swing by and get that XYZ you've been after for 1.6732 years? Tap here for yes, or here for no.....
They don't have to 'care' or have a 'survival instinct'. Those entities that are best at surviving will survive.

Some of academia looks at completely novel approaches rather than increments, but the main issue here is, after the budget has gone, or the phd has been issued, the project is left in the water as a new project, new budget and new paper to publish is required. There's no such thing as a "10 year project" in academia.
If you don't need it to be a .doc, Google chrome allows you to save webpages to PDFs just by going to file > print[0] and it works quite well. The Evernote clipper worked pretty well IIRC, but either way you will have to edit the markup a bit to get the results on a very cluttered page. In a pinch though, chrome does a great job if you don't want to have evernote simply to clip pages.

Of course, this begs the question of "How does this empower me to create a more glorious life?"

Perhaps the takeaway is that I am not a brain in a body moving through the world to do things. Instead, I am a mind and these patterns swirl around me and come and go and my awareness drives decision-making as to how to interact with these swirling, complex braids. Then, being the architect of the future is more like knowing where to put your finger.

Done right, this looks like magic.

This is most likely just an artifact of F# producing unusual IL that's harder to handle. In my experience, it's less 'we only support C#' and more 'compilers other than C#/VB.net produce very strange IL that is hard to handle well' - which is true. Given the small # of users that rely on those weird compilers, it's hard to justify supporting them first, especially if they aren't performance-sensitive.
> Soda sales are down but obesity is still up, so the calories are coming from somewhere.

A recent study showed that people in earlier years ate the same number of calories but were still thinner.

It's more complex than calories.

I suspect they're going to find that nicotine (lack thereof in current society) is the culprit.

That's not to say we should go back, but it's not just "calories".
Every poorly performance problem I've ever encountered has been due to poor design choices, poor choice of algorithm or, most often, badly implemented algorithms.

Once past the JIT compilation delay the execution speed is not significantly different for AOT and JIT code for mature platforms such as .Net and Java.

There are issues in CPU and RAM resource limited systems such as mobiles and embedded systems. And also web servers - where small improvements in scalability can dramatically affect business viability and profitability.
You're right that the cycle lanes shown are awful in almost every way. They're too narrow, in the dooring zone for the parked cars, barely separated from the main traffic lane, and so on.

I just wanted to add that putting dedicated cycle paths along the outer edge of main roads with hard segregation also brings challenges of its own. In particular, if the cyclists then have to give way at every side street their path crosses, this is horrendously inefficient for cycling and will cause most experienced cyclists to simply use the main road instead in a residential setting.

From what I've seen so far, the Dutch seem to have some of the most promising ideas about designing genuine multi-modal transport routes, with proper attention paid to motor traffic, cycles and pedestrians both at junctions and on longer, faster, less interrupted routes. I wish more people were paying attention to their ideas, because they've figured out much better solutions to a lot of common scenarios than most of us have.

> Why would an AI care what moneyed interests care about?

A General AI won't necessarily.

Quoting Adreessen, software is eating the world, in that more and more jobs are being replaced by computer systems some smarter than others. The programs don't need to be generally intelligent to beat humans as long as they are better in their specific domain.

Farming is being automated with self-driving tractors, and the same goes for some mining operations.

Some fields/jobs also exist only thanks to computers. Google or weather forecasts couldn't be done with pens, paper and telephones.

Meanwhile, we're gradually losing the skilled work force.

If at some point, programs are better at driving a company or a country than people (and it will happen), they'll be put in charge.

> There's been no selection bias, yet.

Yet. At some point, there will be, and the most resilient will survive and proliferate, while the others will not.

We'll end up idle, dependent on sociopathic programs to get fed, or not.

Per e.g. the facts that Rhodes lays out, if the Germans had not screwed up organizationally, had not incorrectly dismissed graphite as a moderator for natural uranium reactors, they might have succeeded with the plutonium path. The fear was legitimate, and per Groves in Now It Can Be Told (he was in charge of counterintelligence), it took us a long time and quite some distance into Western Europe to be fairly confident they weren't doing it. So, no, not the last week, not even 1945, but indeed for a long time.

But when I try to do that I do not know where to start. You know why because I do not know what to start. I do not want to do which other people alerady done. They are doing something unique and I also want to do that. But do not know what. If any body please help I really appreciate. BTW thanks a lot for your answer.
