This is fundamentally a religious question. There is nothing wrong with religion, but you should be aware when you step into the realm of religion. Whether you think the universe is made of math, or God's will, or it's turtles all the way down, the presumption contains an element of Faith.

A big difference between europe and us is also in the fact that people in europe tend to live inside the cities, and not just go there to work. Train is considered faster than plane her in france, because you can go to the trainstation using subway, and board immediately, whereas you need to leave your place 2 hours before your flight.

i have the feeling that this advantage would be lost in the us, where people live in suburbs way more, and so any trip starts at least with a 45 minutes drive ( not to mention the fact that parking in an airport is probably more convenient than in a city center).
They also need to make it fully and permanently accountable.

When East Germany fell and the Stasi archives first fell open and then were deliberately opened?

The people spying now need to know that, one day -- preferably not too far distant -- every one of their actions will be public record. And that they, and their descendants (by public declamation if not law) will be held accountable.

Transparency, when exercised, needs to work in both directions.
In that case, a few more things.

You'll probably want to do some reading on common components of design such as color, spacing/negative space/white space, grids, typography.

I feel like even experienced designers can have trouble coming up with something that will work on phones, tables, and various desktop/laptop screen sizes all at once. I'd pick one platform to target initially, get something working there, and then see about the others later; otherwise, you're taking something you already aren't practiced at and multiplying your difficulty several times.

Here's another design book I like and which is more in the direction of case studies, but the material (dashboards) is very specific and might not be useful to you - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1938377001/
slower than flying on a commuter airline

Less security, bigger seats, room to move around. The time loss going from New York to Chicago or Seattle to Los Angeles would be minimal if you count the total time spent in transit, and the trip would be much less stressful.

you still have to figure out how to travel tens of miles to where you really want to go.

Same with air travel, except it's easier for trains to end up in city centers instead of airports outside of the city.

as opposed to a continuous stream of people on a freeway

Which is much more environmentally damaging, and requires drivers. When autonomous, electric vehicles are the rule instead of the exception this might not be the case, but for now I'd much rather take a train than drive.

> country second, and global "community" last

If healthcare in America has shown anything it's that Americans will proudly throw other Americans under the bus if it suits themselves.

I'd question whether the people you are prioritising care about you at all.
I think you have a very wide view of "Americans".
62.7% of the US population lives in only 3.5% of the land mass. We're not as concentrated in cities as Europe, but we're not all small towners by far. And we're seeing a mass migration to city centers across the country, while rural areas are seeing a depopulation.

The philosophy of mathematics[1] is a deep and interesting subject, with a long history of important contributions by people like Hilbert, Brouwer, Russel, Wittgenstein, Turing, Quine and Putnam among others. It's very hard to tell from this short piece whether the author simply subscribes to one of the famous old positions or makes any new claims, and if so, where those claims are positioned relative to all the old ones.

EDIT: A quick read of the relevant Wikipedia entry shows that Tegmark's view is basically good-old mathematical Platonism, with a radical, monistic twist.

EDIT2: A question I would pose to a mathematical Platonist monist like Tegmark would then be, what is the cardinality of the collection of universes? Brouwer could reject large infinities only because he insisted that mathematics is limited by the physical, but if the physical and the mathematical are the same, I can see no justification for rejecting a large set of universes.

Airports are located pretty far from city centers. It's not uncommon to have to add at least an hour on both ends to handle transportation to/from airports, and that transportation can often be expensive in its own right if a cab is the best option.

When I go from NYC to DC and back, I don't fly, I take the train or bus. It ends up being significantly cheaper and doesn't take any longer, plus there's less annoying switching between modes of transit. Cities less than 400 km apart are already better traveled between using bus or low-speed rail -- now more than double that minimum radius for true high-speed rail and you can see how it would have a big impact on US long-distance travel.

Rail is mostly used for cargo. Rail is about 4 times more efficient than a truck is fuel wise. Labor wise, more than an order of magnitude. A 100-unit train can carry 10,000 tons whereas a truck is closer to 20 tons.
I kind of understand why you'd think it's a massively complicated query. You are probably thinking the types of joins on two tables on random columns with weird conditions which go into full table scan.

I am talking about queries/joins between tables that have foreign keys between them, like client/project/task/comment. I bet 90% of graphql schemas expose those kinds of relations between types.

For those type of relations (with FK) i can generate a single query that is as fast as it can be (certainly faster then dataloader) and as far as i've tested (a few millions of rows in tables, 3-7 levels in a query) i didn't leave the fast territory :) Of course there might be edge cases ...

About premature optimisations. Everyone likes to quote that, but never the full one which is "We should forget about small efficiencies, say about 97% of the time: premature optimization is the root of all evil." https://shreevatsa.wordpress.com/2008/05/16/premature-optimi...

The paper where it was published was about using goto to optimize loops and such small things, it was never "targeted" at algorithms and architecture.

As i think i mentioned here above, i was getting 10X throughput with joins compared to dataloader and i would not call that premature.

It just depends on the database they are using. Anyway, nowadays it's getting harder and harder to detect accurate location from the IP address (many users are on 4G or behind a proxy).
I think the most common business model for a website such as this is to offer premium services like:

1) more accurate details

2) fraud protection, if the ip is known for fraud or spamming

3) increased rate limits, etc

Road is more expensive but a lot more people want to use roads then want to use railroads so it doesn't matter what the price is.

It doesn't matter if something is cheaper or more efficient if people don't want to use it.

This is like asking why doesn't everyone use Linux?
You forgot one important point: Anyone can take rail. In order to drive, you already have to own a car (and be able to drive). Many people, especially those who live in cities, don't have cars, so taking a train just costs the price of the ticket, whereas driving requires renting or buying a car. Unless you're traveling very frequently, it's cheaper to not own a car.

The context of the discussion is high speed rail, which is for passengers.
Philosphical, certainly, but why religious? Not all faith is religious. There are many definitions of religion[1], but, AFAIK, none equate unprovable philosophical beliefs with religion. Normally, a religion requires at least some moral or normative elements (i.e., it should relate in some way to how humans behave or should behave), which this philosophy lacks.

I've read that the author may have some opinions regarding AI that may be considered religious, but this particular subject so far seems purely philosophical to me.

I don't think high speed rail would help here. We already have normal speed trains that are affordable, and I'd imagine high speed rails would just be more expensive.

Unless you're talking about the highly possible near future where even the middle class doesn't has cars, but would pay more for a train ticket that's faster.

Rail is only mostly used for cargo in the United States because there hardly is any passenger rail left. In the rest of the world rail is mostly used for passengers, and also (usually at night) used for cargo.
Well, here's an example. The route between Moscow and St. Petersburg (about 400 miles, about the same as LA to SF) is a very popular train route. Flying between these cities makes no sense because a high speed train between them takes 4 hours and you board and get off right in the middle of each city. If you were flying you'd need to get to the airport, pass through security, fly, collect baggage, get to the destination city. So train ends up being faster, cheaper and much much more comfortable.
> And the rate of growth really climbed after the middle of the 20th century, when the expansion of basic education became a global priority. You can read more about the expansion of education systems around the world in our entry on Financing Education.

I don't know if that is proof of the statement or anything, but I don't think it's a particularly controversial claim to say that universal education impacts literacy.

As for the challenges women face as they try to enter industry, those are well established and real, for sure. They need to be fought viciously, and we are correct to spend a lot of time and money on those problems. I'd never deny that, it's extremely important to do that work and fight that fight, as this entire article and discussion proves.

But pre-industry, only 18% of CS majors are women, so the educational system has to be fixed as well, that's way too big of an early gap to hope it will magically close once the industry gets it's shit together. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.usnews.com/news/data-mine/a... has a good rundown of where the most valuable opportunities are (middle school is a big one) and how they should be addressed - it's not just about access, it's also about making sure that it's provided in a way that engages and targets young girls specifically, and making sure that more women are teaching these classes. Schools are a valuable point of leverage where you can affect preconceived notions about gender roles and career opportunities, and any effective program needs to break down those barriers. That requires a lot of curriculum design (the easy part) and retraining (the hard).

While you're right that plenty of women code, men outnumber them by 4:1 before they even face the challenges of industry. We need to throw everything we can at that, from every angle, and at every step in the pipeline, until we're much closer to 50/50. Educational interventions are straightforward and proven to work with fairly low cost at the early stages, so I can't imagine why we'd want to rule them out as being part of the solution. They're also massively helpful when addressing the racial imbalances, which are arguably even more vulnerable to asymmetric early exposure than the gender imbalance is (though that's a much bigger subject worthy of its own discussion).

I suspect that by the time we could build a high speed rail network in the US (say 30-40 years, minimum) autonomous vehicles on the freeway will be the superior option. There's no fundamental reason that road vehicles couldn't exceed 200kph, just that humans are completely incapable of piloting safely at anywhere near those speeds. Once the need for a forward-looking pilot is gone you could design vehicles completely around the comfort of the occupants.

And, better than HSR, the same vehicle can go door-to-door.

>The SEC sends people to jail for that sort of thing regularly.

Not being pedantic here, just a side note. The SEC actually doesn't have the power to send people to jail. They can only file civil actions. In this case, a parallel (but separate) criminal action was filed by the US Attorney's office, which is the only entity that can bring federal criminal charges.

This is an important distinction, because the standard of proof is lower in civil cases, and there are SEC violations that simply aren't criminal in nature. Accordingly, most conduct that draws the ire of the SEC doesn't actually get criminally prosecuted, nor does all such conduct necessarily deserve it. There are many arcane securities laws (some dating back to the 1920's) that are easy to unintentionally violate.
