Ah, yes, the old "I have totally done this so far in my life and thus it is a model for all peoples" chestnut.

I have this vague memory of someone who was litigating about obamacare being unconstitutional for forcing people to have insurance and then defaulting on their sudden unexpected large hospital bill...

Realistically you've been lucky, and that's fine. You're against risk pooling because you feel that's not something you need. Self evidently the pooling is to cover the less fortunate. the "there but for the grace of god go I" situation. Maybe you think they're all scroungers and wastrels? Or that they don't deserve access to medical care just by virtue of existing and being ill.

It's a cultural thing tbh, but bemusing to me.
I think that your "700MB uncompressed" fails to take into account that the construction, development, and maturation of the brain relies heavily on cellular and molecular mechanisms. I think it is a little disingenuous to hide the enormous wealth of information necessary to create a brain, much less understand and utilize one, inside of your compiler.
Humans have contributed knowledge and technology both privately and publicly.

The real question is, why is it that today we have education and health care "systems" that have ridiculously ballooning costs, and dwindling quality?
A thing bothers me regarding that calculation. Shouldn’t the time it takes to write the data to all those tapes be taken into account? I.e., if you’re using tapes to transport data, your real bottleneck is your tape drive write speed.
The difference here (if true) is that they say it doesn't affect taste - I've never had an artificial sugar than tastes anything like sugar.
Unless you have diabetes markers, glycemic index is almost entirely irrelevant, it's like people that avoid gluten/lactose who aren't intolerant. Studies that made links to glycemic load to overall health have largely since been found invalid.

China HIV and AIDS cases from 2010 to 2016
Fair enough. I suppose the problem is less "being able to say some phrases in Japanese" and more with "actually understanding Japanese grammar". Perhaps a better example would have been trying to explain the topic particle 「は」. Try to explain how it is written "ha" but spoken "wa" without referencing the Kana. For learners who study Kana there is some slight confusion why it is read "wa" but they're able to quickly pick up on the distinction between "used in a word" and "used as a particle". They might read it as "ha" a few times but I've never experience someone showing difficulty with it. You can't even explain the concept in a meaningful way without kana.

But that is not currently the case in the most popular romanization method (Hepburn). 日本式 is the "better way" for learners but Hepburn is used for foreigners and learners because of how prevalent it is.

The two largest grammar guides that I see shared in /r/learnjapanese, and on the internet in general, are imabi.net and Tae Kim's Guide to Learning Japanese. Both of which advocate studying Kana and abandoning ローマ字 ASAP. The first result for "learning japanese" is Tae Kim's guide and on one of the very first lessons it even opens with this comic [0].

I take the quote you quoted more as "Don't try to learn Japanese grammar by reading a Japanese grammar book" and less as "Don't try to learn Japanese grammar in English but explaining the fundamentals using Kana." It talks about all reading being in Kana/Kanji rather than just the important bits.

That video is fantastic I watched it a week or so ago.

Your explanation also explains why computer performed music is so off. It still has that uncanny valley effect. So when Sony had a computer generate a "Beatles-esque pop song", they still had a human perform and produce it. But at the point there's so much creativity and human-added value on top of it that I don't think its fair to call it computer generated imho.
In most places they are breaking laws and calling it 'disruptive innovation':

Losing crazy amounts of VC cash to [often illegally] compete against traditional companies that must be cashflow positive. It's not a level playing field. Laws exist so that drivers could make a livable wage; Uber is devaluing the medallions they've invested in.

Meanwhile in Europe they're still trying to argue that they're not a taxi company.

There's real disruptive innovation where laws don't exist yet. Digital data mining, surveillance, self driving cars, AI, etc.

Let's not confuse the two.
Congrats Ryan!
There is a link to the Nestle announcement in the article. Doesn't contain much more information but it does say:

> Our scientists have discovered a completely new way to use a traditional, natural ingredient.

No link to the patent application that I can find though.

Yes, this is like heavier-than-air flight. It would be like if we didn't really understand how flight works so we are just imitating birds by gluing feathers to cardboard wings, flapping them, and hoping flight just sort of happens.

In a similar way, we don't really understand how the human brain works, so we are just imitating neurons and hoping sentience will just sort of happen.

Nobody seems to mention the interesting issue that goes to the heart of Trump's and Bannon's economic nationalism.

Decades of supposedly "allowing" China and Mexico to steal US jobs has a different side not often discussed. It was one way to deal with the Triffin dilemma.

With great power comes great responsibility. As long as the US has the privilege to print the world's reserve currency, it has the responsibility to keep the planet flooded with sufficient dollars.

Therefore, I'm (genuinely!) not sure for how long they will be able to combine a strong dollar, run deficits, manage the debt, boost US exports at the expense of others, help those other countries with any dollar shortages and keep the global monetary order friendly and stable -- all at once.

I do know that when the world meets with the Triffin paradox in one variety or another, big changes have occurred. Right now the pundits are comparing Trump to Reagan. Maybe in a few years they will end up comparing him to 1971's Nixon.

Freedom is (maybe?) psychologically (perhaps biologically?) untenable in humans.

GNU/Linux ---> too much user choice

Freely shared scientific inquiry ---> technologists giv[ing] control of their knowledge to people who have no knowledge

Everyone probably does want the iron fist in the velvet glove.

The large majority – me included – wants to be passive and rely on an
efficient state apparatus to guarantee the smooth running of the entire
social edifice, so that I can pursue my work in peace. Walter Lippmann
wrote in his Public Opinion (1922) that the herd of citizens must be
governed by “a specialised class whose interests reach beyond the
locality" – this elite class is to act as a machinery of knowledge that
circumvents the primary defect of democracy, the impossible ideal of the
"omni-competent citizen". This is how our democracies function – with our consent:
there is no mystery in what Lippmann was saying, it is an obvious fact; the mystery
is that, knowing it, we play the game. We act as if we are free and freely deciding,
silently not only accepting but even demanding that an invisible injunction
(inscribed into the very form of our free speech) tells us what to do and think.
“People know what they want” – no, they don’t, and they don’t want to know it.
They need a good elite, which is why a proper politician does not only advocate people’s interests,
it is through him that they discover what they “really want.”
http://www.newstatesman.com/politics/politics/2013/04/simple-courage-decision-leftist-tribute-thatcher

It's the "masses" who may be the least delusional: The whole point is to know you're not in charge. The elites actually believe they're in control.

In The King's Speech the cause of the king-to-be's stuttering is precisely his inability
to assume his symbolic function and identify with his title. He displays little common sense,
seriously accepting that one is a king by divine will; and the task of the Australian coach is
to render him stupid enough to accept his sovereignty as natural property. In the film's key scene,
the coach sits on the throne. The furious king asks him how he dare do this, to which he replies:
"Why not? Why should you have the right to sit on this chair and me not?" The king shouts back:
"Because I am a king by divine right!" At which point the coach just nods with satisfaction;
now the king believes he is a king. The film's solution is reactionary: the king is "normalised",
the force of his hysterical questioning is obliterated.

Listed values are in JPY, so ‎¥235B -- about $2B.
One other thing is that in many cases there's no particular reason the journey has to be completed end-to-end in a self-driving car. For longer journeys it might make sense to take public transport for the majority of the route, and just use taxis for last-mile at either end. This might even be preferable for taxi companies, since they probably make more money on many short trips, and they don't waste time driving empty cars to/from remote areas.

This could work really well if Google integrated payment alongside their directions, so when you search for directions, you get a total price, and a button to pay for that journey immediately.

I'm not remotely contradicting myself.

Also - your 'references' are standard 'glam posts' by media outlets, they are pop culture references, not serious measures of the success of businesses.

Those types of articles and the common 'country rankings' are surprisingly not particularly relevant - the later, almost always depend on the criteria chosen.

For example - if you have as your 'startup criteria':

A) The prevalence of educated population
B) Access to healthcare
C) Quality of Universities

etc.

Then you'll get certain results that may have nothing to do with startups.

My point that 'Swedes are good at startups but Sweden is not the best place for startups' is not remotely contradictory.

Given the choice between Sweden, and any of the American tech-hubs, there is little comparison: America is better.

And it has mostly to do with market size, access to capital, exit opportunities, exchanges, talent pools etc. etc.

+ The scale of American business means there is a level of specialization unheard of almost anywhere else. There are tons of jobs in the Valley that literally don't exist anywhere else.

+ Growing fast and need to hire 1000 developers over the next 5 years? Impossible in Stockholm. Possible in the Valley. Plausible elsewhere.

+ Looking to be acquired? Tons of buyers, many with deep pockets in the Valley. Sweden? Almost none. You'll have to get someone in Germany/UK/USA etc. interested in making a very foreign acquisition. Much harder.

+ Language and culture are barriers. Swedes have access to EU talent, but how many will move? Low rates of mobility in Europe. In America, people move 1000Km for a job, less so in Europe.

+ Want to go IPO? It's a lot easier for an American company.

Do you know why at YC, young entrepreneurs are seriously pressured to simply 'move to the Valley'? It's related to all the reasons above. These are essentially the reason that 'the Valley' is a powerhouse, compared to other places - even when 'other places' may have consistently higher degrees of education etc. etc...
I think a more important factor is that Google Maps shows competitor taxi services. I guess they have to pay a fair bit to get that advertising, but probably not that much and it means there is not much value to being a well-known brand.

Still, this article claims customers pay 41% of the true cost which doesn't seem right - there's no way 'normal' taxis are more than double the price of Uber, at least in the UK.
> But I'm one of those freaks that actually likes dark chocolate up to 85%.

Awesome. I'd be interested in those studies. The argument is that society manages behavior. That's reasonable. Not all organization is bad.

> yeah, I'm going to go out on a limb and guess you haven't done a lot of research on this. Short of super volcano winter you aren't going to see more than a tenth of that in annual variation.

You'd be wrong, I have done a lot of research. The fact is, we can only sample averages based on decades at a time. Meaning, even if a temperature is (like I said) 5°c warmer in year 1, then 0.5°c cooler until year 20, then rise again 0.5°c for the next 10 years, the gaussian of the sample would put the temperature is roughly 2.5°c cooler than today for that 30 year window.

You have to look at how this data is gathered, it's through melting ice mostly. Which is not an exceptionally accurate measurement.

And all my points have been the same (before a bunch of people came and down voted), life will go on and this is normal. Extinction events happen every few thousand years. Yes we are the cause, and no I don't think we shouldn't do anything. However, I also don't think we should ignore the fact that historically this isn't rare.
