I guess I wasn't clear. Why is it a net good for the individual? Society _might_ be better off, but for the individual, deluding him to the long term inherent fiscal benefits of home ownership to maintain societal stability seems to short change the individual.

Whenever rents are less expensive than mortgages, then it's better to rent or buy. This case is true throughout much of the Bay Area right now.

And it's not clear that it's a net societal good in other countries. In Berlin, a lot of people are lifetime renters. In Japan, housing is a depreciating asset that becomes worthless after 20-30 years. When you buy a house it's generally for the land and the house is generally demolished by the new owners.
China might actually successfully execute a reverse brain drain on the US.

I can personally attest - the vast majority of the ML engineers (feature or infra or research) at 2 of the Big 4 are Chinese born.

They're great at their jobs and their loss to these companies would represent a truly devastating blow.

On the other hand, these individuals will be successful beyond anyone else in the middle class and maybe inspire the next generation to focus on math and science.

One trick would be to generate a random field and then take its curl. Perhaps there are better ways though.

Maybe occasionally, but it's not like advertisers are going to completely lose their minds and forget how to target ads. They will just go back to targeting demographics instead of targeting specific people like they do in most forms of media.
why wouldn't this work with a plasma field? If you inflate your leading edge to be larger, your net solar wind flux is going to be larger and a greater amount of force will be transferred to the craft from the leading edge, slowing you down. Even though you're being pushed OUT by the solar wind, your tangential velocity relative to the sun will be reduced, which, even if it results in a greater net orbital energy, will result in a more elliptical orbit (and thus a trajectory that sends you inwards).
Yeah, Tucson takes this sort of thing seriously for a number of reasons, 1) it is small enough (and relatively isolated) that there is a sense of community 2) people are willing to experiment 3) the people that have lived there the longest care deeply about the environment 4) the environment can kill you easily if you are not attentive (lighting strikes, flash floods, africanized bees, and dehydration to name a few) and 5) it gets really freaking hot for 8 months of the year

Europeans have drastically altered the landscape of NZ. This was starkly shown to me as a tourist when our flight from Aus. gave us a high-level view of Egmont park around Mt. Taranaki. From the air, it looks just like the map[1]. The circular area of the park is dark green, the sheep lands outside are pale green. Early in the 20th century they used large mechanized "brush cutters" to clear the native scrub to make grazing lands.

I think all you've illustrated is how not to design for brains :)

Why would you need to even think in terms of inputs or buttons? Why even use words when you could post or consume thoughts directly?

Flooding might be a bit excessive but its better to water less frequently with more water as the water penetrates deeper and encourages root growth so the plant becomes more tolerant of lower water conditions. Watering the lawn during the hot parts of the day is silly in any climate.

Best solution is to get rid of most/all of your lawn if you live in the desert with limited water, ie. no large river or something.
VSCode won me over grudginly. It's faster, lighter, and just as extensible. I was conditioned at an early age to throw holy water at anything Microsoft, and still, I like VSCode better than Atom.
More likely, Google made their own mitigations, that they're keeping for their own competitive advantage.

They've had a lot more time with the problem than anyone else has, and billions of dollars to gain by solving it better than anyone else.

If they had a 15-30% loss of performance in their 3+GW of infrastructure, it would almost certainly cause a significant dip in their quarterly results, and they would want to warn the markets about that well in advance to soften the blow.
Horse poop.

Presumably a device like that would use some heuristics to guess the correct words, like your phone's autocorrect.
You could have said exactly the same thing about VP9. Tons of FUD over its patent status, but nothing stopped its adoption.

You could say exactly the same thing about any new codec before it's widely adopted.

As I said in my post, AV1 is more strongly protected than previous codecs because anyone who sues over AV1 can't use it themselves, so only pure patent trolls can sue over AV1.

Anyway this is only a short-term concern. Probably as soon as this year Google, Netflix and others will start deploying AV1 and we'll see what happens.
I predict that BMIs are going to suffer from the same problem as AI, where the applications that are working in the short-term get very overestimated because they are confused with the long-term where you create a singularity. If you had a BMI that could read/write the entire brain on neuron-level resolution, you could create computer back-ups of people, and if hardware were fast enough you could create superhuman intelligence. If you just have cochlear implants and prosthetics, the best case is a world where nobody is impaired, which is good, but still very far from a singularity. The Neuralink version is that if you can do telepathy, that might be valuable in some situations, but it will probably just be like faster email until the computers become smarter than us.
I could see why extension authors enjoy access to everything and the ability to run wild. But that is less interesting to users of extensions.

No they don't. Drones are generally only allowed to fly at very low altitude in most US airspace because they can't reliably see and avoid manned aircraft operating under VFR.
You have to only trust that over 50% of mining power is motivated by cryptoeconomic incentives, which is a much more reliable assumption than assuming someone is altruistic or a good actor.

That's still a lot to trust. How do I know someone isn't just gonna go crazy? How do I know someone isn't shorting bitcoin? That's rational.

Someone could short Bitcoin Cash and then mine in secret using Bitcoin ASICs and make a fortune screwing the whole Bitcoin Cash chain with their superior power. Proof of work sucks!
This sounds really a great project. Good luck.

I wonder there was any consideration given to just adding automnomy as a module to the golf-carts that are currently widely used in these communities. It seems that could allow for faster deployment, lower legal barriers and lower capital investment.

The autonomous vehicles in Black Mirror's recent Hang the DJ fits this concept.
It's also been widely reported in tech news and Apple has not denied it.

I agree that their service is much more reliable and definitely much better than Comcast, but at some point the main offering differences are going to come into play.

On a no-contract comcast plan I'm paying the same price for 250 MBPS down now. It's good they finally got fiber, because there is no way their DSL offering would be considered competitive, or a viable alternative to comcast (the only other provider I have).

I'm not even in some random part of SF. I'm on Valencia, in the Mission, 3 blocks from BART, which is pretty central. The fact that I have only 2 internet service providers in such a dense part of town and one that doesn't really have a competitive offering is sad, and also why "net neutrality" is necessary until real competition exists.
Relative to Atom, which I left for VS Code: Code is faster and lighter, just as extensible. Better git integration and code analysis, even for Javascript (I finally understand what devs from other languages were talking about!). My workflow is just smoother for everything except Clojure and system admin (but I use emacs for those, atom isn't any better there).
I wish I understood why web developers hate polymer so much.

I'm talking about the game that has all the users that are all pointing to the real blockchain. Sure, you may get a handful of players on your version of the game you forked on github so you could use it with your forked blockchain so you could own the sword of a thousand hypotheticals. But you won't be able to play with everyone playing the actual game that you wanted the sword in.

On the off chance you weren't thinking of the same type of game I am, I'm thinking of a massively multiplayer online game, not a single player game.
Haven't you heard? We have motorists, cyclists and pedestrians. Not "a person driving a car", "a person riding a bike", "a person walking in public". You must identify with and be one!
I don't disagree with your analysis but I think you're making the assumption that brain signals.

So instead of "that is stupid", "add comment", "you're wrong on the internet", "submit", I think we could be able to have more information about the context of the words:

(:commentary "that is stupid")
(:request-interaction "add comment) ; from which the AI figures out it is a button on the screen
(:request-input "You're wrong on the internet")
(:request-interaction "submit)

In essence, maybe it is possible to detect beyond just words and understand the context, just from the signals too.
* We would send each other messages but wouldn't be alerted on our phones in a timely manner.

* At one point we had to re-login to the client, because our ssl cert expired (let's encrypt), I think.

These issues might be because we ran the server from a home internet connection, but I run a lot of things from home without issue.

As an addition to my other comment, I've read and heard some fluid dynamics researchers/engineers rely on numerical error to break symmetries and lead to turbulence, etc., but it would be hard to call this physical. I think a better approach would be as I said in my other comment, adding noise to the initial condition. This is particularly problematic for studies of the transition to turbulence, as presumably such a phenomena would be strongly dependent on the details of the accumulation of errors/noise, and relying on numerical errors would essentially be like adding noise without quantifying it.

To be clear, it absolutely is correct to say that this would lead to symmetry breaking. Depending on the numerical method and the computer, it might take a long time, if I recall correctly.
Higher Education Is Drowning in BS
Back in the day when protocols ran over HTTP it was also a lot easier for amateurs to pick up wireshark.

But if we know that the company is going to respond by changing the protocol. Then who wants to spend time reverse engineering it?
Unfortunately it takes a lot of persistence because mathematics is a huge precursor. Most people want bells and whistles but aren't willing to bunker down and learn partial differential equations and other context which can be less buzzworthy and somewhat mundane. I think math is cool though, its the language of complexity.

I understand the difficultly with legacy code, but your opinion about "Silicon Valley" types, etc. is very off putting.

World needs to evolve. Those who do not, disappear.

If there is a way without sacrificing accuracy, then GPU computation would be absolutely amazing. Imagine the productivity boost, time savings, power and infrastructure savings you'd gain by using a GPU (if it is possible that is). Imagine being able to simulate engineering problems in near real time without having to wait for hours for a solver to converge.

I don't have experience in the solvers, but if there is a way to enable GPU computation then why the hell not!? Silicon valley types or not. People who are engaged in CFD (I used to work at Lockheed's flutter dynamics team) are certainly not "old fashioned" as you describe. GPU to them wouldn't just be a "kid's video game toy" - I can assure you having worked with these folks.

Why would they with the insane transaction fees, instability of value and slow transaction time? It’s of very limited use as a currency.

Miners and mining hardware makers don’t actually care for bitcoin from a philosophical point of view, so they have no incentive to use it as a currency. It’s literally just a means to an end for creating value to them. If they were growing tulips instead, you’d see them investing in farming techniques just as happily.

Ahh.... It's actually happened. Various governments have promised to introduce licensing schemes. I don't think there's any current ones around. New South Wales had a plan, but they abandoned it just before implementing it. Not because of the voting power of the lycra lobby, but because it's bad public policy.

As for how good an idea it is to have a licensing system for people travelling without lethal weapons, papers please! It's a fantastic idea. You probably also should have a chip in you so the government can track you and see if you've travelled to a part of town you don't have a licence to be in. After all, we've got to cut down on crime.
Misleading UX would presumably violate GDPR because it requires that consent be "freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous".
Random is the word we use in physics. It isn't wrong. You're kind of just giving the definition of random. True random. Not pseudo random, which computers give you (and is usually called pseudo random explicitly). And you can measure the events, you just can't PREDICT it with certainty. Though you can predict it stochastically.

This is true (Heisenberg uncertainty more says you can only get so much resolution in your measurement), but I was staying more general because there are other events that are random. Radioactive decay is completely random and isn't affected by an observer.

...Well yeah, of course.

"We have, and always will, accept cryptocurrencies for our conferences, up to fourteen days before the event," the organizers wrote. "However, due to the manual inputting of data in our ticketing platforms when paid in cryptocurrencies, we decided to shut down bitcoin payments for last minute sales due to print deadlines."

I don't think that's a fair example. The vast majority of the people have never thought about all the ramifications. It's not a case of well-informed people who understand the issues deciding that they don't care. It's a case (like most) where people don't sense that the issue is important enough to make even understanding it be a priority in their busy lives.

Most people do understand that the loyalty-cards are not necessarily the only way to get discounts or even that they are actually discounted (in the absence of those cards, prices would be set differently overall).

There are certainly stores we may legitimately feel more trusting of than others.

Anyway, lots of people really appreciate a store like Trader Joe's that just has reasonable prices across the board, never does any sort of discount promotions and never tracks anyone — even if the customers never explicitly thought through that aspect of the experience, they still experience it and feel differently than they do with the other tracking-focused stores.

On a side note: I learned recently that sales and such at most grocers are actually driven by the brands themselves. The reason Trader Joe's is free of all that is because they sell relatively little that is of the big-marketing-budget style branded products…
