Ah, that's easy. The best sites to test designs for sustainable colonies on Mars are in the deserts; the best sites to test designs for sustainable colonies on Europa are in the oceans; the best sites to test designs for sustainable colonies on asteroids are at the tops of mountains.

Once you have sustainable colonies in the deserts, the oceans and the mountaintops, you have much less urgency to move them out to space...

How long until we see favelas in the US? Low income areas completely devoid of economic opportunity, more or less ceded by local municipalities, with lawless informal economies and virtually no basic city services? Or do we already have them by another name?

There is already DNS integration.

Here is an IPFS path to my blog: /ipns/jes.xxx/

No longer than the corresponding HTTP version: http://jes.xxx/

Of course, DNS isn't distributed or trustless, but if it can work with DNS it can work with the likes of Namecoin or ENS (https://ens.domains/).

Currently you need to prepend an IPFS gateway URL to the IPFS path in order for it to be backwards-comaptible with existing browsers (e.g. https://ipfs.io/ipns/jes.xxx/), but I don't think it will take too many years to get native IPFS support in browsers.

I'm really really excited by what's going possible already, and what's going to become possible soon, with IPFS.
I've seen places in Mississippi, Arkansas and West Virginia that looked every bit as third world as rural Philippines/Vietnam.

What the US lacks is urban poverty in the form of shantytowns. This is because unlike most third world nations, we quickly raze them when and find excuses to incarcerate the people who live there. If we were more permissive, we'd certainly have them too.
> At some point, it's simply impossible to have a whole population which is both properly educated and able to voice it's opinion

Are, it's impossible to have that at all points. The point is to strive for it, not achieve perfection.

If we don't strive, then with people like DeVos in charge of federal funding, public schools will be gutted and the problem worsens.
The idea that globalism is an attempt to 'help' poor countries needs evidence to support it - I think there are plenty of ways in which globalism has benefitted wealthy countries at the expense of poor ones. In fact, the idea that globalism is 'an attempt' to do something, i.e. a conscious agenda to change the world, rather than just something which just emerged out of commercial activity, also seems a bit of a leap.

I think it could be Apple moving with it's current market demographic. I started out an apple fan boy in highschool. I waited in line for iPhones religiously and insisted all my and my family's laptops were MacBooks. Now I'm old (31) and hitting the range where my doctor starts mentioning baseline cardiac physicals and other regimated health tests that just come with age (I'm healthy, BTW).

If the idea is to cater to the shifting age if it's fanboys it may be a great play. The young generation moves from obsession with Emojis and Instagram to having diabetes and heart disease pretty quick. Why not cater to the shift when you already have the customer. 3M isn't making glucose testing sexy like only Apple can.

Read the article. The title is click-bait, but the actual claim is that the social and economic structure has changed in such a way that, increasingly, it fits economic models reserved so far for third-world countries. ("dual economy", power imbalance, etc.)

"McMaster says that 'at no time were intelligence sources or methods discussed.' But The Post's reporting doesn't say that they were. Instead, the report states clearly only that Trump discussed an Islamic State plot and the city where the plot was detected by an intelligence-gathering partner. Officials worried that this information could lead to the discovery of the methods and sources involved, but it didn't say Trump discussed them."

> The first version of something is rarely the best version, and while the US constitution

The US is not the first democracy or democracy-style entity. The US constitution was certainly something interesting and with new stuff for its day, but democracies had been around in various forms for a while. But yes, a large part of the problem in US politics is the inevitable two-parties, which engenders a 'with us or against us' mindset. I wouldn't lay the blame for 'most of the problems' on that, but it seems to be significant.
> What problems do i work on?

1. identify the main threats to mankind

- degradation of biodiversity, for humans, animals, and flora (climate change, pollution, over-production, you name it)

- nuclear damages (power plants, bomb, wastes)

- natural causes (meteorites, earthquakes, volcanos, solar flares)

2. analyse the roots of those (examples)

- technical limitations

- economically not sustanable

- pursuit of profit

- natural but avoidable

- natural and inevitable

Do a maximum of research for those points, and pick a cause that motivates you the most.

There's nothing in the Constitution about political parties, two or otherwise. In fact, the initial idea at the time was that the US wasn't going to have political parties and that voters would focus on individuals instead.
I have some problem to understand why this is presented as a therapy (may be I do not understand what it implies) when the paper (or I may have found the wrong paper) states:

"Edaravone showed efficacy in a small subset of people with ALS who met criteria identified in post-hoc analysis of a previous phase 3 study, showing a significantly smaller decline of ALSFRS-R score compared with placebo. There is no indication that edaravone might be effective in a wider population of patients with ALS who do not meet the criteria"

Another paper is quite skeptical:

Has any one actually read this book, and can confirm how substantive it is?

You see a post with a title like, "Study by MIT Economist: U.S. Has Regressed to a Third-World Nation for Most", and you naively assume that the link will take you to... a study. By an MIT Economist. With actual data, about how the average or mean American has recently crossed some number of economic metric thresholds.

Instead, it's a book review. Really just a collection of mushy factoids (e.g. social mobility is lower today than it was just after WWII)... and political talking points worthy of a Facebook or Reddit comment (e.g. rich people are awful, and putting criminals in jail is racist).

Is the actual book a bit more data-oriented, or is the whole thing just ideological comfort food?
As someone who has worked those type of jobs for years, the grass is indeed NOT greener on the other side.

Those jobs have a much lower barrier to entry, so in addition to being paid less, employers can hire and fire much more easily.

Also don't fall for the "sales is such a great skill to have!" When was the last time a salesperson convinced you to buy something?

I've done a PhD. You will start all bright and eager, determined to write the best thesis in history, and excited to learn everything about the field and advance the state of knowledge.

You will finish by being relieved to get shot of the bloody thing, desperate to move on and work on something interesting for a change.

If you love the field enough to cope with that, and still to want to dive in and work on the same sort of thing for 3, 5, or even 8 years, then go for it. Otherwise think very hard.

Another story about the same person and topic that I found insightful: "America is Regressing into a Developing Nation for Most People" -

I have visited the US most years out of the last 5-10, including a trip through 25ish US states a couple of years ago. It's easy to get the impression that competing interests maintain a problematic or worsening status quo - infrastructure that has to be OK until it collapses because no one wants to prioritise the money to fix it (many roads in California are shocking). A voting system (as mentioned by @kristofferR) that makes it difficult for a viable third party to emerge. Health, education, private prison industries, etc.

There are parts of the United States that feel like they are struggling to survive - including areas that are quite eye-opening like Bombay Beach and Wonder Valley.

In Australia, we see lobbying groups dictate terms increasingly often too and I don't know that our country is better for it.
I think that we can once again be reminded that there is only one thing that is worse for poor nations than being exploited by global capitalism.

Hmm, seems you're right. Though that seems to be some fallback thing which is used if the real thing isn't found during the build. At least on Ubuntu 16.04 the lapack_lite module links against the real (Fortran) lapack library:

liblapack.so.3 => /usr/lib/liblapack.so.3 (0x00007fb619ce7000)
libgfortran.so.3 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgfortran.so.3 (0x00007f5ae0911000)
That's true in theory, but in practice REST is a (limiting) spec for the kinds of verbs you're allowed to use between systems, and graphQL is a significant and much needed expansion of that.
The predictions by the system is the movements of the planets in the sky. The Ptolemaic system with epicycles actually did this pretty well, considering the available data. It is just that as better observations and better calculations became available, the model have to be more precise which required more epicycles.

I don't really get the thing about "too flexible". According to Wikipedia there is apparently some myths floating around regarding the science history of epicycles, but I assure there is nothing magical about them - at least they are not any more magical than Newtonian mechanics.

Not for the actual third world countries. I completely agree with your description of the facts on the ground, just completely disagree with what you consider 'bad' or 'good'.

It is not uncommon in business to pay a premium for access to a pool of qualified potential buyers. 25% pays not only for the single conversion but all the other exposures and access to the market. So 25% doesn't seem that bad to me.
I did this too for about 5 years, except I took 2 weeks off each quarter. I learned Scala, programming language theory, did papers on finance and logic, etc. The job I have now is based on some of the open source work I did during that period.

When I took time off to work on interesting stuff I found I was more practical and sensible in my main job. When I designed solutions I was very business focused. I didn't need to use the latest tech or do novel work, since I could do that in my own time. The day off each week kept me fresh and interested without needing to get that from my main job.

The claim that globalization is an attempt to help poorer countries is controversial and would require elaboration.

The stereotypical example of a global economic pattern is a t shirt factory providing goods for a western brand that operates in a third world country because the economic equilibrium is such that raw material acquisition, labor and transport to market costs in total are lower than if the factory was situated for example next to the brand owners head office. I don't see where a will to help someone steps in there.

It won't work for the same reason it doesn't work for reddit - it still needs to be maintained by a human. Which means that bias and agendas will enter at some point of the process and there's absolutely nothing a mere user can do about it.

>Add reputation management

Doesn't work at all for reddit, the "karma" means nothing, the karma requirements for some subreddits only make it harder for new users to join or to have any kind of a meaningful discussion. On top of that posting in some subreddits automatically gets you banned from many others, regardless of the opinions actually expressed, which means you can't even try to have a meaningful discussion with people holding an opposing view. Not like it matters though, any solid argument is labeled as "concern trolling" anyway and thus deemed banworthy.

>Enforce strict rules on argumentation. Add better structure for arguments. Arguments should be as short as possible but not shorter.

Again, a human will have to do that, which in case of reddit means biased moderator decisions, selective enforcement of ToS and admins editing your comments.

>Add ratings to arguments

Easily gamed, as evidenced by any upvote system (reddit especially, their "anti-brigade" measures are laughable and pretty much punish everyone aside from the people who are actually "brigading").
No, a huge portion of the US is on board with the idea that the government shouldn't be covering any medical care.
