Its really not; as I understand, our current technology is sufficient to find things much smaller than that at the distance of the inner edge of the Kuiper Belt.

The problem, at any size, is that we scan very little of the sky, not that its hard to find objects of any size that would be dangerous.
> I think there are two issues here: whether you enjoy solving real problems, or whether you enjoy solving toy problems.

This is so true for me. I am a lot more interested in solving real problems. I just don't get people who are interested in solving toy problems.
It's not conjecture, it's a fact; you're describing a case where it does match reality, that doesn't contradict what I said. There are plenty of maths that are self consistent but don't match anything in reality. Just because someone can come up with some self consistent math doesn't mean that math predicts anything in the real world. To further clarify

> The fact is, the basic structure of our world is mathematical in some way.

Yes, but that doesn't imply the inverse, that all maths are reflections of reality. Reality can be described by maths, but not all maths describe reality. Or to further simplify, physics is the subset of maths that describe reality, which necessarily implies that not all maths do.
No, it is not absolutely true. I came from a middle class family, but from the time I started working summer jobs, that was it for the family vacation. The employer got two weeks notice at the end of the summer--I didn't always get two weeks notice from an employer.

I'm not expecting Coinbase to do illegal things and I'm happy to provides documents when needed (as I mentioned in the original post). They also have my ID, passport and bank statements on file, so they could've checked that. Instead, I was perma-banned when I contacted their support to see how I could unlock the account.

Please be careful when dealing with this company, there are better alternatives whether you live in the US or not.

Also known as supply vs demand...

Bay area is infamous for many housing supply constraints in regulations. As far as loans increasing the demand side, banks can be pretty strict with %20 down payment restrictions. Which is why once houses go out of the dual income high earner price range ($1-1.5 million), you start seeing it overflow to other less desirable regions in the bay area.

I didn't. I said math doesn't always predict reality, sometimes it's just interesting math. Some maths are also physics, some maths are just maths and have no bearing on physics.

I started to read the article but after reading some paragraphs it still continues spreading mistrust about scientists. This is a very bad indicator in my experience. I think there was some article about it here some time ago, since we cannot attack the science we attack the scientists. I skimmed the rest. I can believe in a government cover up, but I don't see the motivation. The article says it was to cover that some pesticides were harmful, but if that was the case the epidemic should have been more widespread. I don't see also the Spanish government covering a foreign multi national by spreading fear about oil in Spain. A link to the Der Spiegel article would have been great. There are lots of vegetables produced in Spain, that some have too high levels of pesticides is obvious, the question is how many but there is no mention of it. To me the article smells like FUD.

Which is how it should be. If I die in my car, it's almost certainly going to be my fault or the fault of another driver, not the fault of the car maker. Of the ~30,000 traffic deaths/year in the US, how many are due to faulty equipment?

As far as doing the math, are we counting deaths like the guy who stole one and crashed it going 120MPH without a seat belt?

I've been programming professionally for 15 years. I read the "Cheryl's Birthday" problem and instantly said "Dear God, I want nothing to do with this".

I don't think I could get the motivation to attempt to solve that unless my boss told me to do it and there was a threat of being canned.
If employers are constantly complaining about a shortage, I would argue that their idea of the "market rate" is not correct.

The notion of liability and technology in communications is a worthwhile subject for ongoing discussion, experimentation, and advancement. This particular case doesn't strike me as having a lot of merit, and, furthermore, stinks of trying to win the case in the court of public opinion by baiting Bloomberg into picking it up and repeating the claims. A more thorough outlet might have pointed out what cft did, in that the case basically is without a shred of a chance of winning.
Apparently the AGC only had 36,864 words of rom. Looking at a random file from the github repo, each page seems to contain 50 lines. So if you put one instruction (one word) per line you could fit the whole rom inside 738 pages (assuming there's no optimization during assembly). Add some space for the comments and blank lines, and 1516 seems about right.

In any case it's doubtful a single program spanning the whole pile could fit in the AGC rom.

I was thinking the same thing. You see a lot of construction vehicles driving around with large tanks in the back of the pick-up. I wonder what certification they require?

That said, gasoline is a LOT more flammable than fuel oil or diesel. The later two burn, while gasoline vapors almost explode when ignited.
There are legal professors who disagree with you.

"Most large businesses buy their corporate charters from the state of Delaware. And the law of Delaware is clear about corporate purpose. The chief justice of the Delaware Supreme Court, Leo Strine, put it simply in a recent law review article: “Directors must make stockholder welfare their sole end.” In cases where directors have acknowledged sacrificing shareholder interests for other groups, Delaware courts have found those directors violated their fiduciary duties."

http://www.nytimes.com/roomfordebate/2015/04/16/what-are-cor...

I've also read articles by "authors" arguing otherwise, so maybe the answer isn't all that clear. But my tendency is to believe what a legal professor says, and the above paragraph sounds pretty convincing.
Farmed fish drive sea change in global consumption
Why did you choose to go after the customer market directly? This seems like the kind of thing that could work being sold directly to companies with large workforces in office parks. That way you bill the compnay for the service, and the individual only for the cost of the fuel. Yoshi could then save money by sending a single fuel truck to a location to fuel multiple cars in one trip.
The company then gets the benefit of a unique(ish) perk to offer to employees.

How do they open your gas tank? I think the most interesting part is their partnership with Firestone... On demand car servicing while you are at work seems like it solves a bigger problem than filling up with gas.
Not sure I want a gas truck driving into parking structures in the middle of Manhattan to top-up private cars. That seems like a serious health and safety hazard. And there really is no excuse for Manhattan needing to have numerous gas stations: the island is small and accessible to vehicles from other boroughs. Plus Manhattan has more than a gas station per square mile, which is more than most suburbs I know of.
In Ingress, only inactive areas had XM decay as a significant source of destruction. Most areas saw the majority of destruction redone by players, and the only limit on that was generally people's willingness to spend time farming.

In Pokemon Go, Attacking and powering up gyms takes longer, but is still fundamentally tied to farming equipment (potions and revives).

We'll see how Pokemon Go develops, given it's growth at present it's hard to predict how stable or volatile gym membership will end up being.

That's true, that particular IP makes extra sense on mobile devices. I think the number of individuals now in the category of having plenty of disposable income but not necessarily having the time/drive to buy Nintendo's dedicated consoles will prove a very profitable audience on the devices they already own (iOS/Android). Nintendo could charge a serious premium for any of their apps and I bet many people would pay it. Or they can release freemium apps with gobs of unlockable content... Either way, it seems like its inevitable at this point that they will venture outside of their little walled garden with their closely guarded IP's.

In the US, it is well established legal perspective that the CEO and the management can do pretty much anything they want if they can plausibly claim that it increases shareholder value. In this case, pushing higher employee salaries could plausibly lead to retaining more employees, attracting better talent, and so on - if the CEO had framed his arguments in this manner it would be open and shut.

I see cheap 3D printers like I saw linux in 1995: not quite the functional equivalent of a $100K SGI workstation, but still a great way to get experience in the area. You just have to understand that much of your time will be spent tuning the printer, and fixing it, and upgrading it. I don't know that the Statasys fails nearly as often as a cheap printer.
What's funny is that nobody seems to provide a workflow to actually create accounts for kids. I want to set up a supervised google account for my son for hangouts et al... and I have no idea how. I guess that's not a thing.
The problem isn't Google per se. They have have a really deep hiring pipeline and could probably succeed in spite of severe deficiencies in the process. The problem is the numerous companies without Google's deep pipeline that have cargo-culted the process without understanding the context, then whine about not being able to hire anyone.
I am bullish both on Autopilot and Tesla. That said, I don't think lying about numbers is a good thing. They weren't any death on Tesla model S until now. So, saying using Autopilot is still safer than driving 'manually' is a lie. Tesla was comparing itself to the average not so good US average car. I think it is a bit of a stretch. I will still use it though.
> That childcare cost is phenomenal and illustrates Bay Area prices to me better than housing cost examples

You can pay that much for elite child care in places that aren't the Bay Area. The Bay Area probably has more people that are price-insensitive enough to imagine that the kind of places that charge that much are a reasonable minimum for "high-quality" child care, though, but that's more a difference in incomes than costs.
The complaint filed with the court is available here:

Interestingly, the plaintiffs allege several violations of Israeli law but they are seeking relief in US federal court. I don't see how the US federal court could have jurisdiction over violations of Israeli statutes.

It isn't unclear, at all.

That said, the article doesn't provide the full details of the case. If, for instance, people had reported posts that made specific threats, and Facebook explicitly acknowledged the reports but declined to act (while removing other posts), there might be a case. But if not, and they're just the communication medium, there's unlikely to be a case here.
