This test seems incorrect to me. Do you have any sources or was there any research that was done that could back up something like this? Are there actual tests for testing people that are functional autistics? Seems like it should be possible, but I'm not sure how you'd go about it.
It basically boils down to a 2:1 ratio for general case, the same as my mother told me to do a few years go.

In general, humans are interdependent for survival. Not like wolfes (independent) or ants (dependent). Everyone likes to feel useful, on a survival level, to others. It is like genetically built in (healthy) narcissism. UBI will keep people alive, but they must initiate meaning for themselves.
Interesting. This is the first I've heard of this. I think I have a mild case of this condition to be honest. I can imagine away like the rest of people I guess, but when I actually try and visualize something, I don't see it, not like in a dream or anything close to real life. If I close my eyes and imagine a candle with flame, with great effort I can start to see it, but it's faded on the sides (surrounded by darkness) and I can't ever get it to flicker like a real flame. I can "imagine" a candle though, and the flame is flickering, but I don't actually see anything.

Dreams are vivid and nearly real, at least that's my impression of them when I wake up, my imaginings or "Day dreams" are nowhere near as vivid, and I certainly can't see the details of my wife, kid or anything or anybody else on the level of "seeing an image of them."
My thought process on seeing that question was roughly "you are asking how, not why -> could be a relevant question [for example, public transport -> probably no issues in crowds] -> answer with 'by car'". I doubt I'd've gone straight to the "why am I here?" answer.

Then again, I do suffer with some degree of mental illness (OCD/anxiety), so maybe it is working as intended...
The maintenance cost of these cars in the US is high. Whoever is making this deal should probably stop by the Lexus dealership before they sign any papers.
Time. I use the delayed start feature on mine along with a slow cooker to have meals ready when I get home (I go home after work, set up the cooking, go to the gym, return home to a nearly done meal).

Not just for rice. A lot of one pot meal recipes you can cook in a rice cooker faster than they'd cook in a slow cooker, and unlike my stove (more expensive to replace), it can switch to a "warm" setting automatically.

For me, it boils down to this:

I'm a single guy, living alone. I work from 7ish-4ish each day with a 30-minute commute. I go to the gym from 5:30-7:30 most days of the week. I tend to go out of town on the weekends or have plans with friends in town. This means I really only have weeknights to do most of my chores (cleaning, laundry, attend to bills and such). I really like home cooked meals, and a device like this allows me to have that with minimal attention so that my cooking becomes: 5-10 minutes prep, 10-30 minutes of chores, 1-5 minutes of serving/storing/clean-up.

EDIT: I feel like we all dogpiled on you. You're right. Fundamentally, it's not needed. But it does have some very practical use-cases depending on your situation. If I had a live-in partner who I could divide tasks with, I'd be less inclined to use such a device. But that's not my situation so I have to optimize and this is a good spot to optimize and still have tasty home-cooked meals.
I also like that on the Zoji there's an hot cereal setting, and unlike my prior rice cooker, where cooking steel-cut oats made a big mess with it boiling over, the Zoji gets it perfect, no fuss.
I'm having trouble thinking of cases when it isn't needed, do you have a simple example?
I don't think those are Uber's main defenses, which I think are actually:

1) They fall under the traditional pre-arranged/limo exemption since they aren't doing street hails.

2) They massively increase the convenience and affordability of getting a ride, which cuts down on drunk/bad driving and saves money.

Neither of those points is affected by the move to SDCs.
I'd also comment on how consistent does the rice taste? When I made rice on the stove, it was really easy to cook too long and have it be mushier than I like.
I disagree with your account of the privileged; there is no shortage of them who choose to "simply sit around and do drugs all day" either.

Ahaha. Rust is language that assumes dynamic memory allocation never fails. The way current compilers treat undefined behavior is terrible, but Rust is worse.
To put it in perspective, Carsten Wimmers created org-mode for himself. And...it's a hobby project: He's a full time astronomer who works on org-mode on the train on his way to work. What it takes to get org-mode on VS-code or Atom [or Sublime] is someone who cares about making it happen as much as Wimmers does. And that's roughly 13 years of caring and 13 years is five years longer than Sublime Text has existed and about a decade longer than Atom or VScode.

It's a sort of variation on the Turing Tarpit: it's probably technically possible to implement Org-mode in Eclipse or Vim, but it's not easy. Not easy in both from the sense of software architecture and in the sense of the community. People live in Emacs for Mail and NNTP and a Shell and calendars and calculators and do so because Emacs was designed to be easy to extend and the community did. That community has people who have been married to Emacs for ten, twenty, thirty years. That's the kind of relationship that can sustain a decade+ development effort.

What would an abstract non-existing steeple look like?

I mean I see steeples all the time living in Vermont and New York. So it was pretty easy to imagine one of these pretty white steeples when you asked this question.

Now I'm trying to picture the opposite. Just can't think of one.
This was my first thought. I imagined a steeple but how would that mean any sort of diagnosis? Simply: it wouldn't.

Besides the latest research on autism defines it as a hugely vast spectrum. So vast that I thought many were thinking everyone is technically on the spectrum.
How we visualize things and process memory is right in the heart of what's different about an autistic mind. She wrote an entire book about it, "Thinking in Pictures".

Here is one of her papers where she mentions the steeple question and processing memory in the visual centers of the brain if you want to read more: http://www.grandin.com/inc/visual.thinking.mind.autistic.per...
The original premise here was that humanity would "leverag[e] our entire world economy to [a] single goal." You'd need a very significant chunk of humanity to agree in order to change the entire world economy. That's the part I find unlikely, and I think carbon is a decent example of why.

(And since you brought up the topic of sneering and insults, frankly, the only time I've felt insulted at at on this site recently was your "Not with that attitude" comment. Perhaps you're assuming some kind of ill will or political motivation on my part that was not in fact there. Regardless, your comment still reads like a sneer to me, three days later.)
Read other sources on the history of the sack of Benin. This article romanticizes a city with human sacrifices and slave trade.

From Wikipedia's article on the Benin Massacre:

But the way Benin treated its slaves and the public display of large quantities of human remains hardened British attitudes towards Benin's rulers. The trader James Pinnock wrote that he saw 'a large number of men all handcuffed and chained' there, with 'their ears cut off with a razor'. T.B Auchterlonie described the approach to the capital through an avenue of trees hung with decomposing human remains. After the 'lane of horrors' came a grass common 'thickly stewn with the skulls and bones of sacrificed human beings.'
>> "Many of small actions by a small number of focused people in Washington, in the Whitehouse, and entrepreneurs and bankers, may have a profound impact on millions of Cuban lives in a very short period of time."

While this is true don't forget that this also applies to the last several decades in Cuba too. They're fixing something that they created in the first place.

Thank you for that information! I'm definitely going to follow the first method initially, as it's super simple to do. Good luck on your project, and stop avoiding low-level hardware, it's lots of fun and easy to learn. Here are my notes, which I'm working on, but may help you:

You're using 12th grade numbers. That's more than enough to account for any difference.

>The reason for the discrepancy is that you're citing statistics from the BJS about drug users. That's quite different from usage rates of drugs within the general population.

If the same percent of whites use drugs as blacks, then looking at how many drugs are used by each user (or how often each user uses them) matters. If each black user uses more than each white user, the total usage can be more.

>Finally, you are quite literally begging the question[1] by citing the 1981 analysis (which is itself a rather contested one). Even if we take that data at face value, it concludes that black men understate the crimes they commit, and does so by comparing this to arrest records. The whole point is that arrest records provide a skewed perspective of drug usage for black men (and women), because they are far more likely to be arrested for the behaviors they do.

I took that quote out of your jstor source. If you don't like it, use the one from SSC that I linked to:

>Comparisons of several different surveys of drug use find that “nonreporting of drug use is twice as common among blacks and Hispanics as among whites” (Mensch and Kandel). (https://www.jstor.org/stable/2749113)

This can't be explained by bias in arrest records. Note that they're looking at how many people who admitted using drugs in 1980 denied ever using drugs in 1984.
Here's something fun to digest.

I can picture things, just not in much detail. If I focus on any one the others fade.
I agree. Depending on how TMS treatment is setup, it could stimulate a particular region of the brain, or a large section (frontal lobe). EEG biofeedback can also be focused on a small section of the brain (eg. prefrontal cortex). Its possible the situation in the article was a result of parts of the brain being "out of balance" and creating different emotions than what the person previously experienced.

Even if TMS 'activated' the emotional areas of the brain (right frontotemporal) correctly, the person still may not be ready to use that brain region effectively. This is where therapy would likely help.

Through research, its believed that Autistic Spectrum Disorders are the result of poor neuronal connectivity between certain regions of the brain. I'm not sure TMS would help with that.

Hmm. "Abstract thought" encompasses a few very different things. This Quora answer explains it better than I could manage, so I'll paste it here:

https://www.quora.com/If-Aspies-often-have-difficulty-with-a...

"Abstract thinking" is a huge category and a lot of Aspies and people in the autism ballpark have trouble with some parts and are good at other parts.

In particular, I think many of us are good at abstract thought that is formal. Not formal in the sense of wearing a tie or whatnot, but formal in the sense of being based on precisely described relationships. Take math. Math is a creative activity, just as much as painting or any other art. But math is a formal creative act. Like a painting, a mathematical proof can be beautiful, elegant, inspiring. Unlike a painting, a mathematical proof can be wrong.

Or take computer programming. Again, writing a program is creative and a program can be beautiful. But a program is written in a very formal language: Any computer language has strict rules.

On the other hand, many of us are bad at abstract thinking that is informal or, perhaps, a good word is mushy. How do we read a person's facial expression, body language etc? The same thing means different things at different times; there rules, but there are (usually) exceptions; and the rules aren't written.

In Denmark, you could buy a car for taxi use at a much lower tax rate than normal people, but after driving it with passengers for around 250,000km and 2 years you could sell it as a private vehicle. The calculation made the car extremely cheap (I've seen a calculation of deprecation of 20% over 2 years despite the heavy use ) -- so you might as well get a nice Mercedes.

The tax a private person has to pay to buy a car was 180% in 2015 so essentially a luxury car is nearly triple of what it might be in US, with a new S350 being $250k.

Thos taxi rules have changed recently however, so Mercedes may lose their 90% taxi market share.

In my case, I was in a dorm and couldn't afford a microwave, and was forbidden from having a burner or hot plate. You can heat up a lot of things in a rice cooker (especially a cheap one, which is little more than a heating coil with a bucket over it.)

I don't know why people have expensive rice cookers, however. I remember a comment by patio11 where he mentioned his wife buying a $600 rice cooker. Rice in Japan is probably the most serious of serious business but I can't even fathom how anyone gets that much value from a rice cooker.

cheap rice cookers are quite handy.

In my experience, your method of cooking rice doesn't come out as tasty as rice cooked with a good rice cooker. You can get the same results with a stovetop but it is more more involved (ie tweak the heat every 2-5 minutes).

But then again personal tastes for rice may vary.

Agreed. The change doesn't have to be quite as profound - and it's up to other people to choose how to react and proceed.

Different quantitatively but I think similar qualitatively, my best friend (despite my warning) attended a high-intensity motivational/NLP weekend seminar a few years back. It is no exaggeration that he came out a completely different person, in the sense that the stimuli/response has radically changed. He was more emotional, open, intense, etc.
My reaction initially was confused and highly negative; and eventually settled down on "The person I knew is in some ways gone; but let's give this new person a chance and see how we get along".

Others, erm... did not react as positively :P

> I think the other function Uber serves is not just an aggregator of supply (of cars and drivers) but of demand (passengers).

I think you misunderstand Uber. Most of its perceived value is in arbitrage between drivers' perceived and actual costs of car ownership: drivers mostly think in terms of wages minus cost of gas, ignoring all of the other costs. Given that business model, I doubt Uber is actually looking at buying these cars. They will presumably force drivers to buy or lease the cars themselves.
Which one do you have? There's so many different ones I'm not sure which to start considering...

The key reason for it's failings according to this author is the bureaucracy.

One of the reasons the UN was created or transformed out of the league of nations was to prevent world war by providing an avenue of negotiation. By its founding purpose I think it has not done too badly.

There's a moral duty the UN seems to have, but this is an extra purpose to the UN. There are organisations that don't need the echo chambers of other nations that can do the same things, such as doctors without borders.
I worked for Amazon (Audible.com) from 2011 to 2014.

1 - Full-time freelance audiobook editor.

Additional 20 shares of AMZN per year for three years

I am no longer ashamed to write these figures out to the public because I now make more than twice the salary that I was making before I left the company. I found that my salary at Amazon was always far too low given what I did, and my job titles were not at all representative of the job I actually did (for the 2nd and 3rd jobs they were almost entirely software engineering jobs.)

NOTE: Audible and Amazon have different job levels - Audible's job levels are two points higher than the same Amazon job level.
Bureaucracy of this sort begins with the belief that systems are designed a priori by rules.

I am sure that most of the personnel policies that the author alludes to are well-meaning and intuitive. What is out of scope in such rule-making is the empirical outcome. The cost of delay (213 days to hire) is apparently not a factor in the rules.

They lose a lot of good people in a presumed attempt to ensure they hire good people. Such an outcome is only recognized a posteriori.

Funny that you mention this, because the character limit forced me to cut this out:

Sites like Glassdoor are useful, but what they don't provide is company-specific detail. I can view Amazon's average SDE salary, but is that figure for a job level 4 or job level 5? (At Amazon, pay is based on job levels. Two people can hold the same position but have different job levels. For example, Area Managers who are promoted from hourly positions start at level 4, but new hire AMs come in at L5).

Other things Glassdoor can't provide:

-Pay increase percentages for internal promotions

-Pay increases and stock award amounts for annual performance reviews based on performance grade

-Compensation data broken down by race, national origin, native language, etc.

-Differences in pay for positions based on team, department, geographic location, etc.
I'm glad you explicitly stated that you believe people carry around the guilt of their ancestors, because I've always wanted to ask a related and very personal question. It happens to be particularly relevant to this discussion. Please know that my question is something I've wondered about for years and entirely sincere.

I was born in the Soviet Union; I am white. I moved to the US state of Georgia as a child. I assume you'd say I benefited from segregation; in any case, just assume that I did. Should/Do I carry this same guilt you feel that "native" white Atlantans carry?
