He's not indicting tech, he's indicting people who think political problems have technological solutions. People who think running the government is like running a business and that the same skill sets apply. The President is not a CEO.

The problem with SV is that techno-libertarians are constantly imagining the government could be run as an spontaneous order of anarcho-capitalist service providers, as if the key to solving education, or healthcare was "disruption" with some applied science.

And it's interesting that you say he should appreciate the DoD being a large purchaser of "real technology development", because that seems to ignore the fact that SV history is built on publicly funded universities (the UC system) and government funded research. Part of the mythos of today's young tech bros is that SV is an example of pure capitalism working, ignoring the entire history of government subsidy of SV.

SV has done a great many amazing things, but it needs some humility, and tech bros need to stop thinking they can solve all of humanity's great problems by software.

The mood among bank staff... everything is shut down by compliance

In what sense is "everything shut down by compliance?" Is compliance so cumbersome, that no one can be arsed to do any big trades?

At least this makes the decision explicit, as opposed to the editing bubbles created by popular social networks.
Same thing happened with Allwinner's SOCs, when the one point of contact that was providing the source of their modified kernel left, Allwinner chipsets stopped getting rapid mainline kernel support.

The silver lining though is that the sunxi community has been working to mainline newer chips like the Allwinner H3 & has been doing a bang up job with minimal info, newer kernels can boot up & get most hardware onboard configured & ready to use.

Alan Dean Foster had a great book "Sentenced to Prism", one of the premises of which is a society that evolved from such a helicopter mindset, to the point where all adults wouldn't leave home without a protective body enclosing suit, containing various amenities, and guaranteeing safety from most accidents, even highly unlikely ones.

One of the main takeaways of that story was that this mindset breeds complacency. If nothing bad ever happened to you that you didn't have to deal with the hard way, you start to believe that you're invulnerable; and thus, more likely to wade into dangerous situations without fully realizing just how dangerous they are.
Thats not a lot to go by though and hardly enough to brand him a racist.

He has hired more or less any race, have several women on his boards and trust his daughter with big parts of the business.

His actions are very different than the claims of him.

I would agree that he comes of rather ego-driven but there is a world of difference between that and the way he is portraid as the anti-christ.
I know this guy, he worked for me on a project for a bit. At the time, he was in Mexico on a sail boat just going from port to port working on projects remotely. He would exchange tid-bits about his life, he was definitely unhinged. At the time, I think he was avoiding prosecution in the US by being in Mexico. This is super crazy but I'll be honest, not out of character for the guy.

Unsure as to why you're being downvoted... as chargeback insurance is the predominant model used by anti-fraud companies. That said, it's not necessary for Stripe to take their cut that way as they already are the payment service provider and so already have taken a cut and their model allows them to just offload risk to the client.

> People with no kids... As a parent, I find these individuals to be the most aggravating.

Also aggravating: parents who call childless couples selfish. Like not spitting one out is somehow cheating life, and having kids makes you a kinder person. Both sides are equally self-interested, neither are totally selfless or selfish.

I'll concede that a lot of parents will shift their energy from themselves to their child's well-being, but that's where the selflessness ends and they often become a sinkhole for other people's energy. They're gifting no one except their own inner circle, which is fine - that's how life works for most people.
Not exactly. When it's on LTE and doesn't support voLTE, the signaling is used here to search, connect, and handoff to HSPA or GSM (or CDMA). It increases the call setup time, but it isn't actually a major factor in battery life.

GSM will win most in battery efficiency due to it being a TDMA based standard that pulses the radio off and on. But LTE has improved a long way since the early days.

As far as I can tell, YouTube at least seems to cap video quality at the screen size (which is annoying as on some content the extra bitrate provided by higher resolutions is really needed - and remember, T-Mobile actually caps bitrate). Also, all but the really bottom of the barrel phones are at least 720p now.
Thanks for the feedback! I am unfamiliar with PSR-4, I'll have to give it a look.

If a system requires that it be a black box to prevent abuse, you should use another system. A black box with flaws that allow abuse is difficult to fix. With an open, auditable system, methods of abuse are more easily exposed and fixed.
What's this about Newspeak: In my experience Newspeak was a dialect of language dictated by the illegitimate power structure to prevent the accidental communication of truthful expression which could undermine its authority.

When you say "mansplain" is the Newspeak version of "patronize," that would make the gender-less "patronize" the unspeakable, but truthful expression...

...Yet it would upset the illegitimate authority to say "patronize," so the powers require us to use "mansplain" to not reveal the underlying, genderless truth?

It was definitely disrupted. By TV shows.

Fifteen years ago, TV shows was what housewives view, and something you can throw in when no blockbusters are on the screen.

Today, movies are laughable. Characters are so unnatural. Plots are so old. FX take so much screen time. On top of that they're so awfully long while lacking enough detail and consideration. TV shows are so much superior these days it's not even funny.
Visa/Mastercard may well be forced to try something like this in order to survive. Banks are opening up their own API's for P2P payments (at least within the EU due to legislation). This could completely negate the need for intermediate "payment networks" (except the following).

However - I don't think you'll see a proliferation of new payment methods. The biggest problem here would be fraud mitigation, so it'd need to be a payment provider the merchant deems trustworthy enough.

Interesting times ahead. Amex are just doing the bare minimum to keep up here.
The Age of Em can be read in two ways. One is to treat it like an RPG setting book. An imaginative world with highly detailed descriptions, complete with cool potential plots for your campaign. The second way to read it is as a book trying to predict the future in much the same way as The Flintstones is recording history. Everything is strange yet it's all mimicking the current world with superficial differences.

The chapter about computational reversibility was really annoying - good luck with it if you're not a CS academic. I'm a software engineer and I only have a vague idea what it is and unless you know already you're out of luck as the author will not explain anything.

The rest is ridiculously specific descriptions of a future world - a bit like trying to forecast weather 20 years in advance by trying to get the exact temperature, rainfall, etc. on a particular Thursday in March, in your back garden. This is why I'm going with the former way of reading this book. Maybe someone will write a fiction book based on this setting - could be interesting.

One last thing: the author mentions that economists often predict the future correctly but the irrational^H^H^H^H^H^H^H uncoordinated populace fails to realise the correct prediction (a comment I've read before made by other economists), implying that the only way he can be wrong about his predictions in this book is if we all somehow conspire against him, at which point it's all our fault. AI research must be a traumatising field.

Suppose it is a reaction to a viral infection you get when you are young which reactivates when you get older. It could even be that the initial infection is asymptomatic in many or most people and that only a small percentage of those infected ever get the later reaction. It could be one specific virus or it could be that several virus can do it. It could be dependent on some other factor such as how the virus integrates into the host genome or later immunosuppression.
I agree that there are different challenges to serving high-density areas, but I don't agree that these challenges are necessarily harder than creating a far-flung network. These articles [1] [2] indicate that for wired high-speed internet, population density is a good thing for cost savings.

To the extent that high-speed wired internet is part of the infrastructure needed for high-speed cellular networks, the cost benefit would similarly favor dense populations.

Tower density would have to be higher, of course, and interference could be an issue, but I've not seen anything indicating that these challenges outweigh the cost savings from having a dense population. I'd be interested in seeing an analysis!

Is it really a question of focus, though?

At my high school (Texas public school), Calculus and Statistics were both optional AP courses.

You can usually choose whether or not to take whichever combination you want. Some people took neither. I took both.

If high schoolers had to take one advanced class, I think it should be discrete math. Keeps their algebra skills sharp, introduces them to proofs, and still introduces them to basic probability. Obviously the availability of this offerring makes this impractical at the moment.
"Instead, students who took high school calculus often find they have to retake college calculus, or even pre-calculus. Many flee to the humanities."

Well no sh!t. I find it funny that people who aced calc in high school get their ass handed to them in college.

Tips on winning customers over the phone
I sat in stunned disbelief for a second after finishing the book before turning back to page 1 and starting in on it again. I only read the first few chapters/vignettes again, but I could see the allure in continuing. I didn't have the structure of the characters, the institutions and their relationships cemented in my mind until the book was nearly over. And after I started in on those first few chapters, I ran across a line from Hal which was to the effect of '... and I dug up the stuff in the garden with Gately...'

And I imagine these kinds of references continue throughout the book. References whose significance I wouldn't have picked up on without having first read the book. But more generally, I don't think I've encountered a work before on which I've vacillated so much between considering it brilliant or insufferable. Maybe that's part of what I find intriguing about it.
I think a lot of these predictors underestimate prediction itself. To their credit, there is a lot of emphasis on trends in economies or technologies. That's probably the best tool for predicting, but predicting is hard. I think it's hard to really know how complicated "biology" is, from the current perspective of mystery. Who knows what'll be known decades from now.

I like Elon Musk's perspective as a starting point though. The trends that all these predictions rely on are man made. Technology improves, gets more powerful and more prevalent when smart people work on it hard. It's not a physical force, it's caused by people.

Anyway, if you are expecting narrow AI to do so much, who knows what the relationship between that technology and "true" AI (whatever that means exactly) is. It may not matter much, as you say.
To be fair, the guy is in his 50s. 40someodd years ago was a different world and he's just describing the attitudes of the time. Boys played with boys and girls played with girls. I interpreted as Lanza merely walking us through the thought process boys from the 70s had, not as saying it's an attitude boys today should have. It's easy to picture that smile as indicating self-awareness of the outdatedness of the attitude.

But more like 25 GB of equal QoS prioritization with other customers which may or may not be high speed, followed by reduced QoS prioritization in relation to other customers which still may be high speed but less likely.
I think it's probably this.

The primary strategy by the Democratic Party and by establishment circles has been to make Trump seem as unpalatable as possible, hoping to make him so much less desirable than the historically untrusted establishment candidate that she may pull off a win at the ballot box.

Since the first-past-the-post electoral system functions to magnify strategic voting and minimize voting for values, the impression that Trump is a more dangerous and despicable candidate (traded by campaign dollars and personal connections to create information bubbles over the electorate), this strategy is not only effective but also smart.

In the end we've got two candidates we really don't want, a complete lack of examination of policy, and a 'default' to an establishment candidate seeking further erosion of civil liberties, checks and balances and civilian participation in government.

> Maybe because the alternative is Trump. Which is the lesser evil?

This is what we're reduced to? Voting for the "lesser evil"? Who in a first world country should tolerate this?

I'm not voting, but I hope Trump wins. Hopefully the resulting 4 years are so terrible that voters never tolerate a candidate like Trump or Clinton again.

EDIT: I'm against Clinton's encryption policies, her pro-fracking stance, her war hawk attitude, her backroom political dealings, and her stance on privatizing social security, just to start (almost forgot! The ACA is "good enough" and we won't ever see single payer). I don't care if she's the "lesser evil", that she's a woman, whatever. She's not just a terrible candidate, but also a terrible person.

It is also an environment unlike most others. One where investors make hundred million dollar decisions to develop a product in just a few months. A product that could flop within a week of being released.

How many products out there, say hardware products, have that kind of a dynamic. Imagine someone investing a hundred million dollars on an idea for a gadget based on nothing more than a description of the gadget and, maybe, the people who will be involved in the execution of the project.

OK, maybe that scenario had happened a few times. Well, in the movie industry this happens multiple times per year. If you lower the budget from the hundred million mark it probably happens dozens of times a year. I don't think there's a parallel for that almost anywhere.

The fine should be compared to the damages experienced by the victims.

The comparison to fundamentals is really a red herring.

However, Southwest (probably rightly) thinks that if people get used to finding Southwest fares on Google, they'll visit Southwest.com less frequently, increasing Southwest's reliance on Google in the long term.
