The Neuroscience of Intelligence: An Interview with Richard Haier
Why did you need a throwaway for this comment?
Here in the UK, there has been a major campaign to try and reduce the usage of ambulances and emergency departments. Many of our ambulances literally have "this is not a taxi" written on them.

https://i.pinimg.com/originals/5c/ff/1e/5cff1eac4bef3b52f76d...

Because it's free to use, a lot of people call ambulances when they really don't need them. Women in the early stages of an uncomplicated labour. Young people with minor injuries. Elderly people who want a repeat prescription. Discouraging these people from abusing the service without putting off people who are genuinely in need of an ambulance is a complex and delicate task.

The US healthcare system is clearly an unmitigated disaster, but our single-payer utopia has a different set of problems.
Prove what?? And where did I claim it does not currently use Google Maps? There is an Uber team of hundreds of developers and operators that is building out their own maps service. When and in what form it becomes available in your location, I have no idea.
The most important part:

Detailed cost data
from studies of traditional operators in Chicago, San Francisco and Denver showed that 58 cents of
every gross passenger dollar (fares plus tips) went to driver take home pay and benefits, 9 cents
went to fuel and direct fees, 18 cents went to vehicle costs and the remaining 15 cents covered
corporate overhead and profit.

This in essence states that taxi business has upper limit of 15% margin. That's very low however that does not mean Uber or Lyft like businesses are fundamentally flawed. It just means Uber/Lyft has to just figure out how to survive with, say, 10% margin and they have opportunity to drive out higher margin traditional businesses. The nationwide volume can still yield great profitability (just like Amazon model). So Uber/Lyft are perfectly viable and profitable businesses, at least in theory.

Also notice that driver comp is 58%. That's massive. Self-driving will absolutely change the landscape. I would highly doubt that vehicle ownership would be as important as it is now once self-driving becomes norm. It's similar to everyone doesn't own water well any more because you have water on-demand at any time you want.
'Rightfully'? In other words, on a moral basis, investing in solar power and renewables (China still burns huge amounts of coal - it has to) trumps massive political repression?

With regard to magnesium, I'd recommend you start at the Wikipedia entry for Magnesium Deficiency,[1] and read about all the common forms of magnesium supplements: Magnesium chloride, oxide, gluconate, malate, orotate, glycinate, ascorbate and citrate are all used as oral magnesium supplements.

Same with the others.

Pity you choose to end the discussion here because I was enjoying it and you have made some points that I am forced to concede, and that lead me to revise some of my statements.

Firstly, you are absolutely right that by calling all transactions that are denominated in non-fiat assets ”barter” I have inadvertently and inconsistently folded-in all transactions that occurred in official currencies that occurred prior to the abandonment of the gold standard, and that was not my intention. As such, I wish to amend my statement so that it is understood to apply now, far after the abandonment of the gold standard, and relates mainly to the fact that all official currencies that I can think of are fiat in nature, so that transacting in official currency and in non-fiat are understood to be mutually exclusive options (at this moment in time).

Secondly, I do not wish to give the impression that the inherent volatility of cryptocurrencies makes them unsuitable as investment vehicles: given their (naive) return/volatility profiles, they definitely have a role to play in an investment portfolio. What I am trying to say is that they are suitable for investment and speculation, not as a measure of value and as a unit of account (traditional roles of currencies) because they’re too damned unpredictable.

Hopefully you read this and given those two provisos you are willing to resume the (very engaging) conversation.
It’s almost as if it’s impossible to rationalize irrational behavior.

No amount of machine learning or artificial intelligence can change that.

+1, there's really no good reason for insisting on a private key instead of just a signed message.

If you do indulge, you'll want to move your BTC balance into another wallet, making the old one (and its keys) worthless, before you do so.

Alternatively, if you're using a hardware wallet like the Ledger Nano, you can do the split fairly painlessly locally for Bitcoin Cash & Gold. Byteball is also straightforward to claim without sharing any private keys.

Some of Python's syntax can be turn-off yeah. I clearly remember some time around 2003/2004 where I was considering either Python or Ruby, saw significant whitespace and "True" (uppercase) and decided that was not for me. Glad I picked Ruby, it definitely didn't strike gold like Python did (not necessarily on its own merits) but I still love the language's esthetics to this day.

PS: All of this seems really vain, but like it or not, the reason you end up picking a language over another one when you're younger is often a matter of "it feels right".
Of course, legalized donations and interest groups in the West are not corrupted at all.
I think we have a tendency to see our past, and our childhood, in more positive light than it actually was. We tend to remember the good moments while easily forget the troubles. That explains why we find these nostalgic write-ups so relatable. What is bombardment of content is also assortment of people's experiences to learn from. The service that make you lazy also help you avoid chores to focus on other things.

Thinking retrospectively, I think I more happy today than I was in the past. The Internet noise that we deplore has helped me immensely to discover what I like doing. Sure, it's stressful at times, but given a choice between then and now, I think my choice would always be the latter.

I didn’t say that I would, nor that it would be “however small the difference”; I claim some people would. I also think that, if Uber and Lyft manage to capture the lower-income market, many of their customers will.

Also one man’s “reduced comfort” is another man’s “less luxury”. People make those choices all the times, e.g. when buying cars, train tickets, housing, or food.

I have several rebuttals, however note that I do not support the CCP and I wont kid myself in saying that I'm not in China not for a reason.

China looks towards stability and economic growth right now instead of individual liberty simply because it has poor people who live in abject poverty in vilages and this is the majority. Only the coastal minority and the major cities have seen economic uplift.

Corruption is rampant and that is true but the objective is still for economic progress and national development, other countries suffer this issue, with the BRICs being a great example, Brazil's presidencies have been rocked by corruption scandals and the establishment is strong.

Individual liberty is not really on an individual basis in USA. Individual liberty and full rights has only been given to citizens which is every person born in America. It has traditionally been given to WASP and Americans of European descent and neglected for former descendants of slaves, etc.

What I would say is that this is a transition. China will become better and be the kind of govt people need. After all, we all know that if you were Black in USA in the past, you did not have a good time and would see govt as a negatice coercive force trying to control and probably actively enslave you dependant on the times.

EDIT: irrelevent anecdote, I started judging countries based on their airports because its a quick litmus test for either how bad corruption is or just how bad the local govt is. I started this after the person checking my ticket in Nepal would only let me pass and depart if I paid a bribe. This was in front of a queue of people.

Heavens no -- I don't think society should allow anyone die in car accidents, young and healthy or otherwise. It's abundantly clear that driving is too dangerous by far.

But that doesn't stop me from wanting to know what the US will look like in a future with self-driving cars. Will we, for example, find such a severe shortage of donor hearts that certain unlucky people live less long? Will we prioritize research that could improve treatment diseases which, untreated, lead to organ transplants? Or will we consider changing laws to allow donors to be compensated for organ transplants? (which have all kinds of icky side effects but could help avert a crisis if there were one).

I genuinely don't know what the effects of fewer road deaths will be on transplant wait times and wonder how this externality (if there is one) will be handled.

A good guide to become a likeable "nice guy" chump... unfortunately, multiple studies show that even narcissism is more correlated with success and attractiveness than trying to show you're likeable, non-threatening person.

While things in this article are mostly factually correct, they don't work as the author claims.

One thing to consider is that many people who write these books and articles are usually thinkers, very biased and likely to interpret these findings (like smile signals you're not a threat) to conform their ideal world view.

To see just how much of a BS this is in terms of effectiveness, if you're a heterosexual guy, try interacting with women (or other men) with non-threatening smile and raised eye-brows.

Insurance should be used for what it is — an financial instrument to protect against unforeseen and catastrophic financial loss.

Car insurance doesn’t pay for tires or oil while it could be argued that bad tires increase the risk of accident. However tires and oil are an inextricable requirements to owning a car.

This idea that health care should be paid for by someone else has always puzzled me. It’s the equivalent of food being “free.”

For the legitimately poor, there is definitely a role for government just as governments don’t let people starve to death, but for everyone else — its just wacky that the government ought to be involved at all beyond safety regulation. We went wrong when some groups started claiming health care as a right — nobody has a “right” to the labor of other people. In other words — I don’t have a right to make you produce something for me.

Health care costs have spiraled out of control because of the detachment of who is paying from who is receiving the service — much like higher education.

How is the west any less corrupt? The big corporations are basically machinery at this point. Their only purpose is to self perpetuate and benefit themselves and their shareholders, many times at the expense of the public. At least their government is attempting to fix problems, and not leaving everything to the free market Gods.

Besides, look who the US elected for president. Every single check and balance in the system failed to keep Trump in check. I'd say the US government doesn't look that much better.

Liberty is a double edged sword that cuts both ways. Few wield it as intended. Most people pick it up and swing wildy because they don't like something, and they are no better than a mob.
Oh I could get Medicare, but because I was never in the country for 6 consecutive months at a time over the 5 years I lived there (traveling for short holidays) they wouldn't grant for me.

Doctor + Prescription in Australia is expensive! Would cost me like ~200 give or take.

In Singapore, consultation is like $15 and the medicine is prescribed by the clinic so no need to go to a pharmacy, total is like $50.

So I don't even bother seeing my insurance doctor where it costs me like ~$5 total, I just go see my normal doctor cos I trust him. (been to same doctor for 6 years)

Can't you pay directly for private insurance in the US?

I pay directly to the insurance company. It costs me about 145 usd/month and includes health insurance (with urgent care), long term care insurance, life insurance (about 500k usd) and some more.

I could have done it through my employer, but when I leave for another place I'll have to renegotiate the price with the insurance company, and also this option has less good of coverage IMO. It is cheaper by 70% tough.

This seems like a Chromium derived behavior, as i have never seen Firefox do it but noticed it on Vivaldi after only a short time using it.

Frankly the url bar, once i kill search suggestions, is the one thing that Mozilla has gotten right in recent years.

Type something in it, and it will do a sweep of history and bookmarks, trying to match the entered string within both url and page title.

Chromium derived browsers limit themselves to macthing the url, and only as if you are typing it as new.
