It's a nice sentiment, but if you pool all the money NASA devote to human spaceflight there's barely enough to maintain R&D for a Mars mission with landing in the next 15-20 years, any split in funding between Mars and a manned Moon program, you're seeing a Mars landing easily past 2050.

It's really a zero-sum game, unfortunately.
Very true. I should've said "more studies and more meta-analyses need to be conducted".

The strategy that was used, seems to be surprise the AI and mess up it's decision tree:

The general strategy is to win by claiming first tower. At 0:00, you aggro the enemy creep wave so that they start following you. Then you walk around in a circle around the jungle, and the enemy wave will start to form a congo line that will follow you around. You then path around the jungle so that on the next wave spawn, you can aggro the wave again and continue to walk around in circles. The AI will burn glyph when your creep wave hits the tower, and for some reason it can't really decide between chasing you or defending the tower. So after about 5 minutes of doing this, your creep waves will eventually destroy the tower and you win the 1v1.

Ha! - point extremely well taken, in much the same vein as "I'm not racist, BUT...".

I did feel awkward writing it - in this case it was actually meant sincerely. I really wasn't sure if I'd misunderstood. It seemed too ironic in a discussion on open minded-ness to basically say "I immediately stopped listening after I heard something I didn't like" (although maybe this is a reasonable approach? I'd strongly argue it's not, but that's certainly a discussion we can have). I'll do my best to catch myself in the future. I should say that I did read your comment as a touch condescending, just FYI.

WRT to Dunning-Kruger for open-mindedness (which is a very interesting idea) some quick searches didn't reveal anything obvious, but I may be using the wrong keywords - social psychology isn't exactly my strong suit! Sort of intuitively you'd think a similar kind of relationship might exist ("Of course I'm open minded, but I _know_ that X is X and Y is Y, but those are truths not debatable ideas!") - although maybe now I'm conflating open mindedness with the ability to think critically...

Several startups are trying to grow real meat in vitro.
Memphis Meats (which is in San Francisco, not Tennessee) has succeeded in growing chicken in vitro from stem cells. Mark Post at the University of Maastricht has been able to grow beef in vitro. This stuff tastes like meat from animals. It's the production cost that's the problem.

That's going to be the good stuff. Further downscale are the processed soy products. These are Soy Extender 2.0; textured vegetable protein processed to make it taste more like meat. You can buy soy hamburger patties now, under the Beyond Meat brand. Whole Foods carries them. Anyone tried one?

There's a very simple solution for anyone worried about fragmentation: don't buy it.

We got into a bad situation with cable because we didn't have a choice. It was either pay $80 per month for everything, or not watch TV at all.

We have choices now, and Disney isn't going to be able to force their service on anyone. If people really like their new products and think it's worth the money, then fine. If people hate having to pay them separately and no one signs up, then they'll shut it down and go back to how it is now. Consumers have a lot of power now, and whatever happens will likely be in their interests.

I personally would be willing to pay a good bit of money to have access to the full back catalog of films from all the major studios. The streaming services' catalogs are very limited, and I'm often in the mood to watch one particular movie that isn't available. Spotify has nearly every song I ever want to listen to. Nothing exists like that for movies.

.Net Rocks podcast did a fantastic episode (A Geek Out episode) recently on why we should consider building moon bases - https://www.dotnetrocks.com/default.aspx?ShowNum=1424.

TL;DR Version (From show notes): We have not explored much of the moon at all, we can extract fuel and manufacture things on the moon, we need to understand how humans function long term in low gravity (rather than freefall), and finally, there are some unique science opportunities on the moon.

I work with PTScientists.com/ (a GLXP team until end of 2016). You keep launch costs low by ride-sharing (secondary payload). One revenue source is to sell payload space to third parties (what we did). Additional funding can come from sponsors (in our case Audi and Vodafone).

The intention of the prize is not to cover the costs but to kickstart an ambitious private space movement. One needs to be very lean, inventive, and somewhat risk-taking under those conditions. It forces one to think of business models that make the whole thing independent from a possible prize money (and government funding, which under GLXP rules is limited to 10%).

Well, we could make it socially important to make remote work possible.

The trouble with remote work is that if everything you do goes in and out over a wire, much of it can probably be automated. Remember call centers? Phone support?
The purpose of being on the moon is having it as a massive manufacturing place for building things to move outward in the solar system. Lifting things out of the earth's gravity well is just too expensive.

Compare the size of the Saturn 5 rocket to get to the moon with the size of the rocket needed to come back.

I do not see the challenges of building a habitat on the moon that much different from Mars. You have (essentially) zero atmosphere, lots of radiation, the same problems with building a pressure dome, etc.

Landing men on Mars is certainly romantic, but it will be so expensive and time consuming that it cannot have much practical value.
The other big "hardcoded" constraint is most likely the usage of the bot API. The API itself is complex with lots of functionality and I would assume that researchers were extremely smart about picking out just the right API calls that are needed to make it work. That's very different from and much easier than training an agent based on raw keyboard/mouse input.
The story of Replika, the AI app that becomes you (YouTube)
Yes, sort of. When you are in a crisis you want specific things to be done right now. Trump promised that while Clinton offered vague wonky rhetoric that sounded like empty platitudes. She is far better qualified to actually do something but she didn't communicate that she really gets the magnitude of the problem.

If Clinton had acknowledged the magnitude of the economic and social crisis afflicting the interior and then offered e.g. a 10 point plan of specific actions to help she would have won, possibly by a large margin.

As a feminist, I think it's important to recognize that patriarchy hurts both men and women with its pigeonholed stereotypes. There are unfortunately people who try to hijack this to push their agenda that men's problems are more important than women's problems, which complicates things. But yes, in allowing women to be strong and independent, I think we also must allow men to be weak and to ask for help if they need it.
> It's not a great accomplishment to link to a paper that performs well in organic search.

It's a cursory BS test. If the evidence is hard to find, it's generally because there's no evidence available from credible sources. Belief that the truth is out there, is not sufficient anymore.

The Cochrane Collaboration has nothing.

A google search might lead to the NIH having an article citing "studies" about various related effects, but mostly says nothing and has 0 references.

It's not ignoring it at all. Your dive computer tells you exactly how long you can stay at your current depth with no problems ("no decompression time").

You can see tables of the no decompression time: http://elearning.padi.com/company0/tools/RDP_Table%20Met.pdf

The calculations are quite confusing do to manually, but your computer does them great, and in realtime, and for your exact depth & time. So, like I said, as long as you follow your computer, the risk for nitrogen narcosis or any other problems is very very small.

Near Charlottesville is one of the oldest (50 years) secular intentional communities in the US, Twin Oaks [0]. And several others these days, including a few trying to get started in Charlottesville. While Twin Oaks is not right out side the city, Charlottesville is the closest larger city (amusing to see it called a "big city" in the article :/) and some people find the rural community isn't quite right for them and move to the city. While the city is large enough for that to not have a much direct impact, it is small enough that I suspect over the decades it has helped encourage a more community minded approach.

Twin Oaks is an egalitarian (income sharing) community part of the Federation of Egalitarian Communities [1]. There are quite a few other communities around the US and the world as well [2]. The Seattle area also has quite a few communities.

That's not what happened here. Those comments were killed by anti-abuse software that's particularly sensitive to new accounts.

But Google (or any company) would want to hire the "best" candidates over "qualified" candidates wouldn't they? Is it best for Google and/or society if Google skips out on the best to only hire qualified people just because they are shooting for arbitrary group ratios? Did he really go "much further than [asking the question]"? Sure he comes from a particular political perspective. But will we condemn him for a couple sentences here and there out of his entire discourse? It was after all posted internally to a list where Google was explicitly soliciting opinions about their diversity program(s) from employees. I think Google and it's leadership handled this case highly unprofessionally and grossly misrepresented Damore's document in the way they referred to and described it. What would all those heavily criticizing him on the basis of not toeing the company line say if an equivalent "reverse" situation had occurred with a right-leaning corp and a left-leaning employee? I think most would feel the same way as right-leaners. A little more seeing from each others' perspective really could go a long way to improving the atmosphere around a lot of these issues.

I just realized my comment mostly consisted of questions. I have way more questions than answers.

This is an unpopular statement around these parts, but, there's no proof that any human activity is causing the current increase in global temperatures, and they match the progression that preceded previous solar grand minimums, of which we are headed into another one now.

Mars has some stuff that the Moon doesn't: volatiles.

According to Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volatiles):

In planetary science, volatiles are the group of chemical elements and chemical compounds with low boiling points that are associated with a planet's or moon's crust or atmosphere. Examples include nitrogen, water, carbon dioxide, ammonia, hydrogen, methane and sulfur dioxide.

Of these the only one we're likely to find on the moon is water, and there probably isn't very much of it. In comparison, there's a whole bunch of water just sitting on the Martian surface in the northern polar ice cap. Carbon dioxide and nitrogen are available literally all over the planet -- sure the Martian air is thin, but compressing it is a fairly trivial exercise.

And if we can figure out how to aerobrake large vehicles then the delta-V to Mars isn't a whole lot different than to get to the Moon.

Mars is a much better science target as well. It's pretty unlikely that there was ever any life on the moon, but with Mars it seems like there is a real possibility. Mars also appears to have experienced geological processes similar to the earth. Studying the up close may allow us to learn things about similar processes on earth.

It's farther away, and that certainly adds a lot of difficulty and risk, but it is still reachable with essentially the same technology as the moon, and there are compelling reasons to go.

(That said, I totally think we should use moon missions as a testing ground for the technology needed for a Mars mission.)

It's really worth it to ensure this doesn't happen, and it's also the sort of thing that if it did start to happen it would be pretty obviously a problem.
Well, but even than.. you will need to start focusing on a multi-threaded-compositor.. to render the chrome, visual dom nodes, images, video images, animations, etc..

Of course you dont need to start with all that from the beginning but at least you need to get the architecture right

Than on top of the compositor, you will need a web engine, to form the nodes and render it back on the compositor.

I guess if you just do a immediate mode render engine on with a OpenGL backend, you can render something, but it will be pretty limited, mostly for static content.

So even if its a experimental thing like.. 'i want to use lua instead of javascript for scripting..' or lisp as i've seen in the comments.

You would need to focus on the compositor first, and then create the web engine on top. But why to start from scratch if you can just reuse some chrome parts for instance (giving this is in C++).. just take the compositor from chrome in 'src/cc'.. just reuse 'src/base', 'src/crypto', 'src/net', 'src/ipc', 'src/gpu' some parts of 'src/ui' (if you want to) and you are good to go.

Then you can just focus on creating a new innovative web engine.

For instance im using the chrome compositor, to do multi-platform ui rendering using Swift in the UI API layer, and its working pretty good.

Anyway, its not wrong at all, to start like this.. its cool.. the hacker spirit, right? But you should just know that unless you are expecting to give a lot of good years of your life, to make it really good, you must have more humble expectations about what you will end with.

(And you should consider yourself lucky if you end with a equivalent of netscape 2.0 in a year if you work on it full time)
