I will make no attempt to defend the specific recommendations I mooted. There is better work, in any case, in the academic domain on fixing our flawed civil-engineering auction processes.

The problems anyone campaigning for auction reform runs into are three-fold. One, it's a boring problem with boring solutions. Two, there are vested interests. And three, Americans suffer from a just-world bias when it comes to infrastructure [1]. The latter is apparent even in this thread. It's difficult to find solutions when people vigorously defend a clearly-flawed system.

"most of its largesse comes as loans"

These investments are not really Chinese government's money to give unless it wants to tax its people more. What Chinese government has is a very large sway over where Chinese external investments go since it requires exporters to sell their forex earnings and large outward investments require state approvals. But these investments are not taken from depositors as a tax. The depositors still have claims on the Chinese banks. What the Chinese government/banks do is really to provide a guarantee to the domestic depositors as intermediaries. If the investments go bad they will have to plug the financial hole somehow.
I'm just saying this generally, not really weighing in on this case, but:

If you've ever been the subject of an interview or two, there's a decent chance you've had the common experience of not being presented as you expected. Experienced folks know how to basically tell journalists what words to write because journalists otherwise put all sorts of strange things and misinterpretations in.

You certainly can't put the style and overall presentation of the article on her in this case. Being interviewed doesn't mean you chose to present yourself the way the journalist ends up doing.
Not clear to me what you mean.

I can agree that knowledge ultimately is grounded in sense experience ("the body"). Thus, the knowledge of "Horse" (or "Horseness") must ultimately be traced to sense experience involving particular horses.

I can agree that the "bits" in a computer (strictly speaking, not bits but physical states under that interpretation) are only meaningful by convention and not intrinsically. Thus, we say in one context that states labeled 11100 represent the integer 28 and a sequence of five Boolean values in another context, depending on the conventions of each context.

I can agree that conventional meanings are often cultural like commonly understood meanings of the symbolic which, again, lack that particular meaning intrinsically. E.g., both nodding and the utterance "yes" are generally meant to express agreement (except in countries like Bulgaria).

However, I do not understand what is being said when invoking embodiment and culture in this context, specifically.
No, that's definitely not related to what I'm talking about. I don't believe I've ever seen any good evidence related to the notion of "alkaline" and "acidic" foods. The top result for "dissociated diet" doesn't sound credible at all, to me. (Sure, it offers reasonable advice, like "eat lots of vegetables", but its reasoning is completely made up, as far as I can tell.)

And, the example meal plan on the same first result page is for a 1200 calorie diet! That's a massive caloric deficit for any adult; of course you'll lose weight if you follow it!

I was specifically talking about a study on sugar and fat and how they might trigger cravings and overconsumption, and possibly also cause metabolic effects that can cause weight gain and other problems, and not at all about alkaline/acidic food combining theories.
Another dumb article. No one will ever displace the West. Since Ancient Egypt, it's run the world. Egypt >> Babylon >> Greece >> Rome >> Britain >> America. In a nut shell, of course many beautiful western city states like Venice and Minoans. Not sure what's after America, but it's definitely not the PRC. That's some 1984 scary stuff. I'm sure America and China will meet head to head to settle the score at some point in the next 10-15 years. Democracy vs. Dictatorship.

These services already exist, although I don’t believe they use the implementation you describe. Instead they’re basically coupon collectors. They just find the lowest available price and route you to it, or something like that. (I don’t use any of them, but they advertize to me relentlessly. I should probably try them out, actually.)
I don't think grocery retailers "raise prices" across the board.

I think the "charity bundling" concept is just for P.R. The company presents the big check at the end of the campaign, and the public then credits the company, even if the company itself contributed nothing beyond a little (deductible) personnel time.

The Ronald McDonald House perfected that mechanism. Some retailers used to do the same with pooling customer MDA donations, then showing up to the telethon with a big check... with the company name on it.

Transit-only lanes are a colossal waste of space. Let's say we have a 5-mile long route with 12 minute headways. In San Francisco, buses move about 8.1mph, so that's 3 buses. (Each bus completes a loop every 36 minutes, and we'll "assume a spherical cow" by saying that bus bunching doesn't exist and they're evenly spaced. We'll also assume that the extreme ultra-luxury decadance of a mere 12-minute wait somehow got past SFGov).

Three buses, 40 feet long, on 26,400 feet of road. Only 0.45% of the road is utilized. 99.55% of the bus lane is being wasted.

It would be smart to keep the road below the point of saturation, where it declines in utility for everyone, but demanding that 99.55% of it sit empty is certainly not an efficiency-minded position.

> bicycle commuters tend to be from higher income brackets

In the United States, the income segment with the highest rate of bicycle commuting (1.5%) is those individuals earning $10k/year or less [1]. Workers from households earning under $35k/year are 10x more likely to bike to work than workers from other households [2].

Of course, this doesn't directly imply that bicycle commuters tend to not be from higher income brackets, but if you examine the US household income distribution [3], it seems probable; as of 2014, a third of US households have an income below $35k/year. The Census Bureau provides some data tools which one could certainly use to break down bicycle commuters by income category, but their interface gives me trouble.

Hmm. Can’t it just rely on the mobile network? I suppose Apple trust their own time servers more.
It’s a way to test shoppers and evaluate their willingness to add a marginal dollar for spending. That can be correlated against buying behavior and taking advantage of discounts.

Right now, for a grocery store, that means they can put butter on sale that women will buy for Christmas cookie making, and market sprinkles and decorative sugar at higher prices (or with a coupon) to increase customer value. That MDA heart that you bought on Labor Day weekend helps assess the effectiveness of that sort of promotion.
>Some people say we must be able to do "better" than NNs since babies don't need to see millions of dogs to recognize them.

I always hate that example.

A dog is not a thing. A dog is a collection of things. By the time a baby sees a collection of things that is a dog, it has already had a huge amount of experience in identifying individual parts, such as faces and eyes. Of course, I wish we knew how to program AI systems that way.

> I came across the definition of consciousness as simply awareness of the self, in particular that the self exists.

If you are intelligent you can cause enough complex changes to the environment around you, this means you can get caught in 'advanced' feedback loops. If you don't want to waste massive amounts of energy, or even die, it is beneficial to be able to separate "this was caused by me and my actions" from "this was someone/thing else that did this".

Just an aside that struck me. The phrase "laws of thermodynamics" when applied to diet has always felt a bit off and I think I put my finger on why. The laws of thermodynamics is used in physics while diet is in the realm of biology or biochemistry. While of course chemistry and biology aren't in opposition to the physics, there's a reason it's useful to treat them separately.

Anyway, none of this is meant as criticism or argument. Perhaps not much more than a personal insight into phrasing.

1) Every service most likely has many, many different servers providing it. These may have different hostnames. Particularly consider that Apple uses a lot of cloud services.

2) All the services you list in fact consist of many smaller services. iTunes alone is a storefront, a CDN, a payment processing service, a DRM system, a syndication service, an account management service, a media library synchronisation service, a streaming media service, and so on. iCloud is a blanket name for a large collection of big services which themselves may consist of many smaller services.

3) That isn’t even the full set of services.

In light of these considerations, 1000 hostnames should not be unexpected. That might even be a surprisingly small figure.
For a mobile phone it might make sense to check more often as they tend to either move timezones more often, or be powered off and then back on again.

because buses tend to pick up too much delay from morons ignoring the bus while it blinks and blinks and blinks until finally someone has the sense to let the bus merge into traffic.

That would be easily solved by making buses always have the right of way --- when it starts signaling, traffic behind it has to stop if safe to do so and let it merge in.

Also, 93% of the riders have access to a personal vehicle.
I definitely agree as I feel the same personally. However, I've heard about different kind of displacement from my grandparents, such as disappearing farms and forests. Of course, it's not viewed as negative as there was always room for more people.

Ok, thanks. I had just saw something like that for another service at some point so I thought it might be common.

For example, the Uber policy:

>Uber may, in its sole discretion, create referral and/or promotional codes ("Promo Codes") that may be redeemed for discounts on future Services and/or a Third Party Provider's services, or other features or benefits related to the Services and/or a Third Party Provider's services, subject to any additional terms that Uber establishes. You agree that Promo Codes: (i) must be used for the intended audience and purpose, and in a lawful manner; (ii) may not be duplicated, sold or transferred in any manner, or made available to the general public (whether posted to a public form or otherwise), unless expressly permitted by Uber;

Reading it again that might not actually say what I thought it did.
No, I would not assume buying Berkshire and going in that direction was anything but a purely profit seeking decision unless you have evidence to the contrary.

By tax evasion I mean buying companies and taking their profits as dividends, which means 15% tax or no tax at all in many cases. Yes it's reinvested but it's clearly an effort to avoid capital gains/income taxes. Buffets recent comments on tax policy have no effect on his tax position, for he does not play by the same rules as your average fund manager.

Same with insurance float, that's an interest free loan from policy holders to play with.

As I said, we are talking about hidden crimes here so that would almost by definition comprise 1) things that are unethical but not illegal, 2) things that would normally be illegal but can be reclassified as legal, or 3) illegal things that we don't know about.
It turns out that if you really want a device that can keep accurate time over a long period you must pay a significant amount of money. You would need a temperature compensated crystal (TCXO) or ovenized crystal oscillator (OCXO). Both of these would cost tens to hundreds of dollars, which is orders of magnitude more than hardware makers are willing to spend. Not to mention these kinds of accurate oscillators tend to be power hungry.
Thanks somewhat to US domestic politics, China seems to be gradually edging from global enemy towards saviour status.

The standard contracts handle this pretty well; it's not a surprise that surprises happen.

In commercial projects, this often triggers an arbitration about the overrun. You get experts to challenge the fairness of the price, hopefully using market data. And, of course, there are the courts. In worst case, the buyer can cancel and/or rebid. Not 'competitive,' but adversarial.

I'm all for yelling at Microsoft when they screw up, but they're doing good things with .NET and C#.

This depends on the instrument. For many instruments reading ledger lines below the staff is more common.

yea, that is definitely a cool book. a few months back i started to go through it doing the implementation in racket but got distracted with other things.

the code should run directly in dr. racket without modification, but i didn't finish the book obviously to get to the cover picture.

the c++ code in the book is pretty straightforward (he leans on practicality), so it is kind of fun to directly port to a language but then slowly change it to be idiomatic in the target language. i was learning a lot about racket (my first project in it) in the short time i was going through the book. i need to get back to it...

Oh for sure, I should probably add a non-profit driven caveat to the actors in the system.

I am not sure if you can implement a system that would work well when your actors are profit driven work that needs to be done can only be done exclusively by one entity at a time, and as a bonus that extra profit gives you more feedback into how the system operates. There aren't a lot of natural negative feedback to keep things under control in that system.

Especially if your goals are to reduce overhead.

Hmmm. It depends on the power, frequencies and distance to tissue. I remember a coworker at a GPS mfgr accidentially turned on a 440 MHz radio in high-power (25W) mode with only a whip antenna and received a nasty radio burn when he pointlessly/accidentally put his hand around it. That radio burn looked similar to a sunburn or maybe 20 seconds in the microwave. Increased risk of cancer, for sure.

A fraction of a Watt every now and then might be okay, as long as it’s not bursting at multiple Watts or near the resonant frequencies of purine or water.
