After watching the Brexit aftermath I think it's safe to say there also are loads of people who don't. The Brexiters are all just stupid and misinformed (focus on all, and no look at ones own chosen group for comparison), "mob rule", whataboutism (the Brexiters too would have continued to argue had they lost), etc.

US military spraying SF bay with bacterial agents during Cold War without anyone knowing as a way to test the potential impact of biological attacks. At least one person died of an unlucky post-operation infection with that sprayed bacteria because the doctors couldn't figure out in time that he got sick with something that shouldn't even be there.

My guess is stories like that is what started the whole "chemtrails" thing.

I think it's the exact opposite. Direct democracy would lead to people voting for what they want much more granularly, whereas the Brexit vote was once-in-a-generation opportunity that conflated many many different issues (immigration, "ever closer union", single market, London vs. the rest of England, England vs. Scotland, economic inequality, ...). I people were given a chance to vote for each of these issues separately, I would expect much saner (and less contradictory) outcomes...
I skimmed, so maybe I missed it, but I feel like this author doesn't understand the "write every day" advice.

You write everyday to become a better writer, not necessarily to finish a project. So spend an hour or so writing and editing every day for a few months. You'll learn your style, which mistakes you make, when you're in the best mood to write, and so on.

Being a person who spends far too much time online, I easily write an hour everyday. And I usually go back and edit myself. Once a week or so, I'll go into a long explanation. I think this is the kind of writing King is talking about. (I should probably do this daily instead of weekly.)

While I'm used to short and medium format writing -- up to 5-10K words or so -- I find that true long format writing is an entirely different animal. Shorter work feels more creative. Longer work feels more like a project. Not only am I not going to be done even if I pound out 10,000 words tomorrow, I might not even be very much closer to done than before I started.

This article seems to address these feelings. For that it looks like a good read. But write every day. Read every day. Just don't participate in a project death march with your writing. Instead write and read on topics you are passionate about. Then pick up the project work.

That discussion about Spain's labour market also had many arguments along the lines of the pay being far too low. It's not that monodimensional of a problem, especially considering we have a free labour market in Europe, and Spain has good climate and nice people. However, many who do study change country and work somewhere else, which you can't really stop with your plan.
>That's comparing apples to oranges

Which is totally valid, since both are fruit, and we can e.g. compare their nutricional value to decide what to eat. Or their selling price, to decide what to buy. Etc.

That's kind of the parent's whole point. That countries are the closest thing the EU has to states, and that they must get much closer to states for EU to function properly.

Sort of makes my point. None of these have anybody (of statistically significant percentage) outside the UK salivating, or have ever created something like a "British restaurant" to be found abroad (like there are French or Italian restaurants everywhere).

And even the best of this list was invented by taking from a foreign (the Bangladeshi) cuisine tradition.

When Can Police Use a ‘Bomb Robot’ to Kill a Suspect?
You can think of Solomonoff induction as a weighted set of experts. At each step, each expert makes a prediction, and the overall prediction is the one that gets the highest total weight. Then the true data comes in, and the weight of each expert is increased or decreased based on whether that expert was right or wrong. And here's the kicker, the experts are all possible prediction programs, initially weighted by 2^-(program length). So yeah, in the long run Solomonoff induction will be at least as good as you at predicting any particular sequence, including prime numbers etc., because your own prediction algorithm is somewhere in the Solomonoff mixture. That also explains why approximating Solomonoff induction takes a huge amount of computation time. It's mostly a theoretical idea.

I'm hoping that infinite scroll looses the hipster appeal sooner or later and we can implement the best solution rather than jumping on the bandwagon all the time (SoundCloud's favorites were paginated a few years ago).

First of all, not talking about Indian, Chinese or whatever restaurants in the UK. Talking solely about the British cooking tradition.

Second, my point is not that I had some pot roast or fish and chips that were "bad" -- as in bad cooking (although you get that too a lot). My point was that even cooked the best way, they are nothing to write home about compared to other national cuisines and their dishes.

I will never understand why people think answers to things like this are simple and can be resolved with a single magic bullet sans unintended consequence.

> This policy needs to be enforced globally (E.g. a UN resolution/international treaty) to avoid flight of capital.

The UN does not have the mandate to impose tax laws on independent nations.

If it did, you have to re-write the entire legal framework countries to deal with pensions, trusts etc. Oh, and that's before you find interesting new kinds of charities being set up in various domiciles with different laws for qualification... So we now need to impose our version of those laws too.

Basically your solution is to have a global dictatorship where everyone does what you say, which is for their own good anyway - because your vision of what is right and proper is the only valid one. We're going to impose these laws and we're going to back it up with this Gun borrowed from the UN. Democratic governments controlling their own tax laws? Psssh. Sod that eh? And since we have this power, let's get everyone on the same page in some other important things. Police powers, information gathering and sharing, biometrics, so on and so forth. It's for the best right?

>But I think even with flight of capital factored in, countries that enforce this tax will be much better off economically due to the massive inefficiencies of large corporations.

What inefficiencies are these? All you've now done is move all the money off shore, and agreed to collect less tax because the subsidiary in your country has no assets to tax. They're all leased. No profits are made due to IP costs going to offshore companies (or a million subsidiaries or some other soln that doesn't involve paying stupid tax rates).
No complete market system in any of those though. The structure of financial flows can radically change the growth patterns in an economy.

Eat That Frog! (Brian Tracy)- Lots of useful productivity tips. Motivating and practical.

Bleachers (John Grisham) - I learned a lot about the culture behind American Football and school/college sports.

The Wide Lens (Ron Adner) - I learned a systematic approach towards evaluating ideas and the environment around them so that I could determine what needs to change (outside of my innovations) that must be encouraged for my ideas to succeed.

The Martian (Andy Weir) - I got a "feel" for living on Mars being a reality potentially sooner than I appreciated.

Brownlow North (K Moody Stuart) - A book about a Scottish Evangelist. It was superb to see where he started from in his preaching, how he differed from everyone else, and how that was probably the key to his startling effectiveness.

Songs of the Spirit: The Place of Psalms in the Worship of God (Ed: Kenneth Stewart) - I learned an appreciation for the book of Psalms, though written long before it, it is clearly (by how it's written, what it discusses in the past tense, and what's only understood now) FOR the New Testament church.

In my Father's House (Corrie ten Boom) - a beautiful insight into what a Christian household can look like.

Prisons are a for-profit industry, and filling prisons with people gets votes. There is absolutely no way that the DOJ is thinking, “I’d like to send these people to jail, but alas, there are aren’t enough jail cells.”

The sad answer is simply that prisons are a kind of security theatre. For that theatre to work, you have to appear to be imprisoning people that voters emotionally identify as threats,

> I would concentrate on a specific niche, instead of a general AI

Yeah boiling the ocean would be amazing but at least initially I want to concentrate on a similar use case to that of x.ai where you're essentially using it as you would a personal assistant to schedule and gather information, likely in a corporate environment.

I'd like to keep to a niche of asynchronous task handling but that's way too big to be considered a "niche" but more of a philosophy with how it should work. Hoping I can phone it in initially with scheduling and information gathering then others can use the SDK to do whatever they want with it.

In 2000 I spent a couple of weeks in the Shrewsbury area, and most lunches were had at small, out of the way village pubs. The food was surprisingly good, both traditional and continental. Not just surprisingly good for England, but for anywhere in such venues. The only bad experience was our first shot at getting fish & chips, which were rubbish. Second try at a different place fixed that.
