That's not a very compelling argument.

The Lake Wobegon effect is prevalent in almost any self-assessed skill. Nobody wants to admit that they're below average.

Of course, that doesn't change the fact that there is an underlying distribution. Just because everyone thinks they're an above average driver doesn't mean there aren't some people who actually are.
I don't think Musk really understands the AI tech that he's managing. He thought Open AI would be the path to true AI, and he can't accept that a current flaw in Tesla's autopilot may be material to the company.

Musk has done a ton of great stuff. To be better, he could use someone who he trusts and is an expert in the field, like LeCunn, to simmer Musk's expectations of AI. Right now he seems brimming with confidence about AI to the point he (1) is claiming we're already living in a simulated world, (2) has started his own true AI venture, and (3) is ignoring the relevance of his own product's failures. I can only imagine this is because he is surrounded by Yes men.

I could be 100% wrong.
Without disputing your points about Tesla, there are a couple issues with your comments on the Pennsylvania crash which cannot be overlooked.

The Google Maps image date is September 2014 (fine print at bottom of page) and we must assume it looked the same on the accident date. It's entirely possible it looked very different on the accident date. Paint spills, fire or previous accident damage to road surface, debris on roadway, etc.

Also missing from all the reports are weather conditions. Did I miss them? I don't see it mentioned at all in the Times or Detroit Free Press articles. Are we assuming it was a sunny and clear day? That view is going to look very different during a thunderstorm.

Pennsylvania seems to be way ahead of other states in their willingness to research safety issues and make changes to their roads and laws. It was the first state I know of that made it a law that you have to have your headlights on if you are using your rain wipers. Makes sense now but they did it first and it definitely helps others see you. They also paint big white circles on the interstate in areas where rear-end crashes are a problem, so you have a very clear visual and know to keep at least three 'dots' behind the car ahead. There are plenty more examples but I feel like this is the perfect state to have something unfortunate like this happen.
Ok, let me regex your email out and I'll ping you.
> An example of such an optimization is the arena allocator[1][2] employed by protobuf.

I work on the protobuf team at Google, so I'm aware of this.

Two things about that:

1. The underlying blocks for the arena allocator still come from the system allocator.

2. Because the arena allocator inhibits the capabilities of standard malloc-debugging tools like ASAN and Valgrind, the protobuf arena allocator includes special ASAN-aware code to mitigate this:

https://github.com/google/protobuf/blob/d64a2d9941c36a7bc2a7...

However, that code is ASAN-specific. It won't help other tools like Valgrind. So yes, different allocators are sometimes warranted for specific patterns like arenas. But if all you want is plain malloc()/free(), you should call malloc()/free().

If you're writing a library, letting the user specify their own allocation callback is also great, since it lets the user do whatever custom bookkeeping/pooling/etc. they want to do. But by default just call malloc()/free() (IMHO).

You've given a while bunch of definitions for what you interpret modern to mean but none of those are inherent in the word which is what (I think) the op meant when complaining about its over usage.

So while I appreciate your attempt to redefine "modern" with all the above I'd rather people just used the more verbose explanation instead of using the meaningless term.
Knockout not considered "framework", just a lowly "library". Like jquery.

Much the same in Norway. Getting a licence for a handgun is pretty hard; maintaining it even more so; under no circumstances can a civilian carry a handgun in public.

However, everybody and his dog owns a shotgun or a rifle to go hunting; it's just so that we mostly use them for hunting rather than for self defense or committing crimes...
You do it for the experience. 1 year of working in a startup will have you learning more than 2-3 at a larger company.

If you're good, you can advance much more rapidly through startups and then parlay that experience into either a lucrative BigCo job or consulting gigs.
Another interpretation of Modernist Development is team size:

A modern SW project consists typically of 1-2, max. 3 devs,
a typical post-modern project of 20-200. With such member sizes consensus is rarely practical, political correctness and CoC discussions are taking over development, ABI and API's are driven by design and not by functionality and longevity.

I.e. modern development is small, functional and not designed by committee.
Well, you can still pick up an AR-15 online in NZ if you have a valid firearms license, difference is the police are going to know you have one, and will do a background check as well as have an interview with you.

Most of these tech companies are derivative, there are only a few that are truly innovative that actually results in productivity gains.

This part I dont get about Google they ban you but don't tell you why. At least they should make a chart of offences of 1-5 and put different offences in the chart according to severity of offence. So when banning you they can say for this number it won't mean much to rest of the world but the person getting banned could probably guess why.
'Best platform' is a very broad term. Best in what way? In terms of ease of creation/coding? In terms of features/stability/reliability/scalability? Or what?

Be that as it may, if you're willing to explore the CMS route, I can vouch for WordPress with BuddyPress (and a handful of other) plug-ins. Proven, stable, feature-rich, quick to deploy etc. I'd say definitely worth checking out.

Why do you say that? There are adaptations that have creation and annihilation of particles in Bohmian mechanics: http://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0303156

The main issue is that QFT does not generate a mathematically well-defined evolution of the wave function, but there are promising directions on that front as well: http://arxiv.org/abs/1506.00497

Basically, they treat the Hamiltonian as a whole instead of a perturbation and use a domain for it that has the probabilities flowing from one area to another appropriately to the different particle sectors.

There is also work on dealing with relativity which is a separate issue. While there are solutions, mainly centering on finding a natural foliation, the tension with relativity has not really been resolved, a tension which exists regardless of interpretation.

There's the old-testament revenge style of conflict resolution, and the new-testament style of conflict resolution. The new ones works better, that's why almost everyone uses it.

Even in the UK and in Norway police officers are allowed to carry gun's but they rarely do, and rarely have to. There are special forces who are called when wide-reaching bullet forces are needed, and even then deadly force is rarely needed to take out an attacker.

Third civilized countries have the principle of consequence of lawlessness. If a police officer oversteps his powers he has to face the consequences, otherwise he will continue to abuse his powers. A very simple but powerful principle, which is esp. needed for those who have state-granted special powers.

Forth, civilized countries invest a lot into marketing of police powers. TV broadcasts crime investigations and police dramas all the time, round the clock, where police is presented to serve the people, so they are presented in a positive light. This might be useful to cover up police abuse, but is in fact more useful as a positive role model to the enforcers. Officers stepping out of line are clearly overstepping their line. Whilst in the US the lone cop hero taking down the suspect with a well-aimed shot is the patriotic hero, saving the community from crime and violence. Marketing is different there, the state powers don't invest in these kind of TV dramas.
You just said yourself that only speed of light is constant, mass is also relativistic like time.

Gravity is one directional too, but somehow everyone are mystified by time. I think it's because it's far too easy to let the imagination run wild on the possibilities of reversing time, but much less intuitive to imagine "reverse: gravitation or reverse entropy.

A complex field should be divided into multiple skills and each one should be learned in proper logical order. If a student has problems on some of those skills, appropriate videos and exercises should be presented. As it is now, there is no skill tracking and no adaptation to student needs. I'd especially like to see this done in ML, Stats, Probability and Information Theory. There are a lot of mini-skills there to be mastered, and every student has a different level of experience with each one.

I agree with you, while they are far from the optimal to consume something there is always some need for alternative ways of learning, if only to address the variety of people who would like to learn. I find that I retain content better when I learn it in multiple ways (explore using MOOCs and podcasts about it, go deeper into it using books and practical work if applicable) and I'm sure it's the same for most people.

You should whitelist scripts, too.

Also, for the common case for non-developers (word/excel macros), the OS could sandbox the applications in the way Mac OS X does. That limits what macros can do, but IMO would allow 99+% of actual macro executions.

To clarify your point just a little.

In the UK, police officers have to be specially licensed to carry guns. There aren't that many licensed officers.
That's very true. But on the other hand dynamic typing is what enables us to play with JavaScript and re-create many concepts from FP in plain JS. This is not easy in many strongly typed languages which their type system falls short of Haskell's (that supports ADTs, kinds, recursive types, etc.).

CSGO does as well.
Quote: "In one of these countries, Iceland, it’s legal for citizens to carry guns—and roughly a third choose to do so."

Absolute bullshit. I lived in Iceland for 4 years and still have a place there, and hundreds of Icelandic friends. Not once have I ever heard about anybody carrying a gun - unless out hunting.
The short answer is that they stop not having guns when they face someone similarly armed.

But this is not the most interesting question to ask. In the US, a disarmed police force would probably just carry privately, while on the job.

A much more interesting question is why so many armed police forces in the world get by with a level of violence not so much different from their non-carrying peers. The U.S. traditionally condemns many nonviolent police activities (like searching, or requesting ID, which theoretically does not even exist there) as oppressive, anti-freedom, unamerican. Other countries do not have this cultural expectation, that the police should never interfere with the life of non-criminals. Thise countries therefore have a wide, nuanced range of police/citizen interaction that only involves guns as the very last level of escalation. If culture (and/or law, but I think that culture is much more important here) only acknowledges police authority stemming from a pointed gun, officers will find excuses to point guns.

But the biggest reason for US police gun violence must be the high general level of gun violence. It seems very natural that when criminals are trigger-happy, the police force adapts by lowering their thresholds accordingly. Inevitably, this will also fatally affect law abiding citizens. I haven't checked the numbers, but maybe, in relation to total gun deaths (instead of in relation to total population), American police are not even as terrible as they seem?

>will do a background check

In the US if you buy a firearm online from a retailer or distributor it is required that it be shipped to a Federal Firearm Licensee, who will perform a NICS (National Instant Criminal Background Check System) check prior to the transfer.

Though not required, many private sellers will only ship firearms to an FFL so that the transfer is documented (in what is called a "bound book") and the private seller knows the buyer can legally purchase the firearm.

At first we don't want 2 space stations spinning. We want 2 space crafts spinning and traveling to somewhere where we have enough gravity to survive (mars). All humans on one ship and cargo/return counter weight as other ship linked together by a tether and spinning for the travel duration.

But yeah we still need to lower the launch cost per kg to make it really feasible and super heavy launch vehicles which don't exist at all at the moment. Realistically we would want to launch 40+ tons directly to mars from earth (Falcon Heavy should be ~13 tons so we would need around 3x the power of that). We don't have anything with enough delta v to do that at the moment.

Yes. Education and economic prosperity have reduced population growth rates in many places. Too much, perhaps, in some places.
I think then, that by IsaacL's definition, those other parts of physics where theory and experiment are well balanced don't suffer from (excess) "rationalism", which he seems to define as a reliance on theory without experiment.

Not sure about Norway, but in the case of UK and Ireland most police officers are not allowed anywhere near firearms.

If an incident takes place that requires armed officers a senior policeman authorises the use of armed unit. Every force has access to them, and training is as much about de-escalation and negotiation as shooting. They are drawn from regular police and undergo significant extra regular training.

Wikipedia tells me roughly 6,000 of something like 140,000 UK police are authorised to carry firearms.

Well, here there's selection against characteristics that eugenics typically favored.
This used to be a really damaging stereotype and a de facto standpoint of psychology (and psychiatry) for years. I've personally met experts who wouldn't diagnose ASD in people who managed to get married or get a job. I've personally been dismissed because I "look normal" (whatever that means). I've been given several bogus diagnoses because ASD has been repeatedly ruled out based on nothing but presumptions and prejudices.

There are no family, job, or looks criteria in DSM-IV. I know ASD folks who hold jobs, have families and are more than successful in life. From the outside, they seem pretty normal, maybe a bit quirky or eccentric. From the inside? The way they arranged their lives to work around the social/sensory problems is something to applaud.

The important part? They don't "look" autistic, so most laypeople don't correlate autism with "a possibility for a successful life". Just because you don't see it doesn't mean it's not there.
You have the file concerning the property, with all the information about it, including a photo gallery. Location (GPS lat/lon) and ask price are certainly important filter fields.

You may want to hire an hourly-rate admin clerk to prepare all the information and file it into a long list of web-based databases.

Next, you may want to hire a person to show potential buyers around. So, an hourly-rate "showaroundist".

So, that means that you are dealing with two hourly-rate persons doing some work for you to market your property.

If you are incapable of organizing this, in that case, you are probably incapable of organizing anything at all, and in that case I wonder how you managed to get the money to buy the property that you are selling now in the first place?

In other words, someone who agrees to pay a percentage value of his property to a real-estate agent, is simply someone who will not be capable of making enough money to own a property in the first place.
