Mass transit making distances more manageable without a car, mixed zoning means that there aren't as many areas that are just offices, and areas that are just apartments

"The less someone knows about a subject, the more they think they know." I think that's an exaggeration and understood by most people to be one.

What is, however, absolutely clear from the original study is that incompetent people have a highly inflated assessment on their own abilities: in all four experiments (!), the people with actual 10% abilities rated themselves at 50-70%. This is perfectly in line with eg. Urban Dictionary's definition[1]:

"A phenomenon where people with little knowledge or skill think they know more or have more skill than they do."

> Even in a competitive market, specifically the ones you have mentioned, the rent charged is based on supply and demand and the competition. If not what prevents them from doubling the rent?

Because doubling the rent would be enough to get the people to desperately search for someone else. But getting them move in and then slowly raising the rent is a common practice.

Sure there is competition in this market, but given that a) demand is much bigger than supply, b) switching costs for tenants are extremely high, and c) it's not a competition in which a landlord can actually get out of business (even if they cut their rates by half, it would still be profitable to rent out the apartments), the competitiveness matters very little, and landlords are in no hurry to fight against each other - they're more likely to cooperate instead. The prices aren't set on the level competition demands - they're limited to what people can afford at all.

First amendment, for sure.

I'm guessing this is about this, "The new law would require Airbnb and other short-term rental websites to post registration numbers on listings or email the number and name of the host to the Office of Short-Term Rentals, The City’s agency tasked with enforcing the regulations." (From http://www.sfexaminer.com/sf-poised-require-airbnb-list-regi...)

So "their" "free speech rights" are "violated" because they have to post registration numbers.

Not sure why the government attorneys should get paid anything here. Government was so much incompetent here that they failed to catch VW well in time, besides arresting few people in VW I think some people from the government side need to be fired too.

The only worry here is that attorney generals might end up with more resources to harass small people now.
Except MS is the one who cops the blame, the negative PR and the reputation of being insecure when malware runs rife across old Windows systems that weren't patched for years.

There's literally no way they can win this. If they force updates they're evil for rebooting PCs. If they don't, users don't update because it's always inconvenient and then they blame MS on malware.

No, it wasn't. Again, at the risk of repeating myself, the reasons for leaving the EU were far more diverse than the mainstream media led people to believe. If you think that the main reason for leaving was border control then you've been lied to, it's as simple as that.

{0|0} = * isn't strictly speaking a surreal number. It is a member of a class that the surreal numbers are a subclass of, called the class of Games.

The definition of a surreal number requires that everything on the left set be less than everything in the right set, but 0 is not less than 0 , so {0|0} does not name a surreal number.

Games do not have this restriction.

The surreal numbers form a field (except that it has a proper class of elements instead of a set of elements) , while the Games do not form a field. The Games do however form a group under addition iirc. Yes, that seems true to me.

The Games represent all perfect information 2 player games with what is iirc called the normal play condition (i.e. you lose iff it is your turn and you have no valid moves), and are such that there is no sequence of moves by the 2 players such that the game never ends.

(Chess for example, is almost a Game , except that it is possible to reach a draw in chess, and the win conditions are somewhat different.

Tic-Tac-Toe with the change that, instead of winning when you have 3 in a row, you win when it is the other player's turn and they have no valid moves, and you cannot move if the other player has 3 in a row, is a Game in this sense.)

Note: I think that Games is often capitalized because of it being a proper class, but I am not sure.

Great article. Microsoft Access was my first introduction to databases. (For those who don't know, MS Access is like "excel for databases.") Gave me a good-enough sense of what was happening under the hood. Started me on a career in software. 15 years later, I'm in a recently updated version of enterprise SQL Server (say what you will, but it works for us). I chuckle every time i get to write IIF(x,y,z) in a SELECT statement. I was doing that in access in 2003.

It's possible it's strict laws but I doubt it. It seems cultural. People in the west actually enjoy destroying things and being dicks for fun. Prank calls, ordering pizzas for strangers is practically a rite of passage. Nearly every teen movie has some segment about doing something bad and getting away with it (bad = destruction of someone else's property). Tagging is also seen as a rite of passage. Kicking in bathroom doors. Flushing with your shoes. Clogging toilets with paper is all seen as something that's supposed to be fun to do. Buying dresses, wearing them and taking them back is yet another rite of passage. No one considers that someone has to pay for that stuff. That by doing any of those things you're make the place you live a worse place.

I disagree. The free market is predicated on free individuals making free choices. If you contract a fatal, but curable disease there is no practical limit to the amount of money you'll pay for the cure. The fact that your very life depends on this treatment makes you a non-free person, rendering the free market dysfunctional.

I think you'd be surprised to find that the answer for many is yes. I for one cannot in good conscience support any politician whose economics are neoliberal and whose social policies are oppressive. I think Trump's xenophobia and Hillary's authoritarian social policies (which also disproportionally negatively affect disadvantaged minority groups) are absolutely immoral and moral people should not support these candidates.

I realize that I occupy a position outside of the political mainstream in America, but I suspect that is changing. I expect to see many more people rejecting neoliberal economics as a game rigged against workers by the bourgeoisie.

The OP quotes diagrams that clearly show that incompetent people tend to overestimate their competence, and the most competent people tend to underestimate their competence. Almost all your quoted definitions match that data, so I don't think they're incorrect.

The strawman the OP is trying to dismantle is that people's self assessment declines as they gain competence. Apparently not; from that data self assessment is mostly flat. But a flat line (self assessment) intersecting with a rising line (competence) will still show the symptoms of the common definition of DK.
It's refreshing to see how a simple switch in thinking can dramatically simplify the code and bring positive side benefits.

You mentioned that a benefit of using grpc includes `net/context` which allows clients to send rpc requests to multiple machines and cancel the rest once one server responds.

While such an ability can quicken the speed of response, would't it also waste server's resources? Now not one, but many servers have to do perform a task to win the 'contest' held by the client.
Maybe I am just misunderstanding the point you are trying to make, but none of the six examples you are citing is obviously getting the Dunning-Kruger effect wrong. They are all along the line that people with lower skills overestimate their skills, none obviously claims the wrong thing, i.e. that people think their skills exceed those of people that are actually more skilled.

Toyota doesn't have to keep paying for your maintenance, whereas MS does keep having to pay for their time to develop patches for XP.

A better :caranalogy: would be whether, as emissions standards come in, you lose the ability to drive your old car unless you upgrade it. Except even then, Toyota doesn't pay for the new ECU instead of your carburetor, but you expect MS to keep maintaining an outdated seucrity model.

Moreover, if you don't upgrade it you DO get forced off the roads, namely by legislation prohibiting its registration.
Awesome!

I used the Intensity Shuttle for USB 3.0 on a Macbook (OS X) to develop the plugin. It costs $190 and works pretty well, but can't capture 1080p @ 60fps (only 720p/1080i). I only got it because I couldn't install a PCI-e card on my laptop ;)

If you need 1080p @ 60fps, the Intensity Pro 4K is also $190 and is a PCI-e card. Otherwise, the Mini Recorder should work just fine.

I agree with you that there needs to be a University to create a tech hub, but I think that's the easiest to take care of if YC and big tech companies are behind this plan.. You can easily convince big name universities to start satellite campuses or even better you can start your own! UCSF Medical Center at Mission Bay is a perfect example that you can build a world class research center if you pump enough money to it.

FYI, you should be wary about any A16Z company then. This sentiment is nearly identical to what Ben Horowitz talks about here: http://www.bhorowitz.com/one_management_concept_from_how_to_...

And Ben Horowitz has publicly supported Scott Kupor's blog post on Twitter.

Given that he and Marc Andreesen run the show there, we can reasonably extrapolate that this is the firm's preferred stance. In fact, if either of them was against Scott Kupor's position, then the blog post likely would not have seen the light of day in the first place.
Because it glosses over the fact that upgrades to OSs have defined security benefits.

A better one would be to say that it's like your bank upgrading your card from signature to chip + pin and issuing a new card number as a result. It's a frustration to change all your automated billing, but they do it because it's more secure and costs them less in fraud protection.
Sometimes in order to "speed up" (in the sense of a deep, longer-range goal) -- you need to slow down.

Disclaimer: I'm a vegan.

You only linked to one published research article which explicitly states the "evidence does not support the positive effect of soy products on endocrine function". This contradicts your argument. But sure. I'll link you to several articles [1][2][3][4][5] which argue that there is currently insufficient evidence for the effect of phytoestrogens on male testosterone levels.

Further, the suggestion that phytoestrogens have the same effect as human sex hormones on the human endocrine system is not supported by research. While soy isoflavones do bind to estrogen receptors within the human body, this interaction is weak (as is the expression of these hormones) [6]. Not all estrogens are created equal. For example, phytoestrogens have been associated with a lower incidence of breast cancer whereas the opposite effect is observed with synthetic estrogens [7].

It is also important to note that phytoestrogens are found in literally hundreds of plant foods including apples, berries, carrots, wheat, rice, beans and lentils, oats, barley, and the list goes on. Yet, a study of 696 men concluded that vegans had 13% higher testosterone concentration than meat-eaters [8].

Finally, don't drink Soylent. You can get all of the nutrients you need from a whole foods, plant-based diet (sans B12) for much cheaper and it won't taste like shit.

This is a well thought out answer, and frankly embarrasses the response from the VC. Of course the VC wants to protect his own interests, he's just obfuscating it by pretending he's talking about "wealth transfer" and "fairness". What a bunch of BS, and I'll never work for a company that he is "advising". Who knows what sort of dirty tricks he'll play against the employees.
To get a constant horizontal speed, a small-radius wheel must turn faster than a large-radius wheel. For a constant turn rate & rim mass, a small-radius wheel will have less energy than a large-radius one. I suspect (given the article's statement doesn't depend on the wheel radius) that these precisely cancel, but I haven't done the math to prove it.
Oh, didn't realize you could request early access. I'll check it out, thanks.
Europe definitely has better public transit. And parking is a problem in an urban area (though that issue goes away with a taxi or self-driving car).

But I think you're glossing over a fair bit with your description:

> When you can pop into a metro that is ~5 minutes from your flat, be on the train in less than 4 minutes, and be within ~5 minutes walk of wherever you want to be

...assuming that where you want to be is within 5 minutes of a metro station on the same line that's near your house and boarding at that particular 4-minute interval. Most trips between two arbitrary points involve at least one line change, which then involves another around of waiting; depending on the nature of the change, it may also involve a walk between stations. That adds up.

I'd like to have a public transit infrastructure that's comparable in latency to getting into a car sitting in your own driveway, going directly to your destination, and parking in the readily available free parking at that destination. I'd love to not have all the wasted space associated with driveways, garages, and other parking infrastructure. But I don't see a path to that even with European-level public transit.

You mentioned Barcelona, so I pulled up Google Maps, and picked a couple of random points roughly 20 minutes apart (by car) within the city, one of them a major landmark / tourist attraction and the other a residential area. Here's the map: https://goo.gl/maps/VCzEJEn3q3k . 24-35 minutes by car, depending on traffic. 67 minutes by public transit, including 20 minutes of walking, one line change, and 40 minutes of transit.

Here's a second example: https://goo.gl/maps/MWGqrSMsFGp . Directions between an event center and a shopping center, both in downtown and near major transit lines. Much better case for public transit: 29 minutes by transit, with no line change. By car: 12-18 minutes depending on traffic.

At least in the longer wait to travel via transit, if you're used to the trip, you get to read or listen to music, and just watch for your stop rather than the constant vigilance of driving. But that doesn't make up for roughly 2x travel time.
