> One death is a tragedy, but it's not a massively systematic problem unless we act like it is and turn it into one.

It is a systematic problem. 150 incidents between 1993 and 2017, an average of 6 terrorist incidents a year or once every two months. 255 people died, 603 people were injured. Source: https://www.adl.org/education/resources/reports/dark-constan...

Note: this is just the violence that got counted as terrorist violence, not your ordinary Nazi running around and slapping PoC.

For sensor data analytics, you are frequently using many orthogonal sensor data sources to measure the same thing, precisely so that you can remove source bias. And most non-trivial sensor analytics are not statistical aggregates but graph reconstructions, the latter being greatly helped by having as much data as you can get your hands on.

The "let's store everything" isn't being done for fun; it is rather expensive. For sophisticated sensor analytics though, it is essentially table stakes. There are data models where it is difficult to get reliable insights with less than a 100 trillion records. (Tangent: you can start to see the limit of 64-bit integers on the far horizon, same way it was with 32-bit integers decades ago.)
The raw numbers aren't the issue. Switzerland hasn't had decades of sustained mass-immigration of low-skilled workers. The flow of immigrants to Switzerland is nothing like that into the United State.

I was previously the administrator of a "patient portal" that was connected to our health record system.

we had a hard time getting people interested in using it and signing up. and those who did sign up rarely used it after the first few weeks.

when talking to people, the primary reason seemed to be that they wanted to communicate with a person for most healthcare related needs b/c they had questions or wanted clarification/re-enforcement. They used the online portal so infrequently that they never felt confident they could quickly get what they needed accomplished.

The notable exception is parents managing the records of their children, which I don't think will be a feature of this v1 health records app.

its all about user experience though. i'm hopeful Apple can delivery something that is better than what is available and has come before.

i'm worried b/c I don't see it as a v1 and done feature. It will take consistent interaction and improvement as health record systems change and capabilities increase. hopefully apple is committed to it.

Yeah, point taken about my bias. Dealing with python via jupyter has been my biggest source of frustration with python.

But there are still plenty of cases where you will come across python via a bad interface, such as a shell interface to a server that I haven't set up properly (I come across this a lot since I've a lot of code running in clusters), and new computers or other people's bad setups or computers.

Even when using elpy-mode in Emacs, I've had problems when I tried to tabify and untabify a file (to change indentation length), which completely changed program logic in multiple places, and resulted in subtle bugs that I caught much later.

I can't remember where I first heard it, but one of the factors affecting American politics in particular is the idea that many poor people see themselves as rich people in waiting. They're going to make it, once they get their break. This of course, is false for the overwhelming majority of poor people, but still causes their vote to skew further towards measures which harm them and favour the rich than it otherwise would, because they see themselves benefitting once they do finally make it.

> And I guess even leaving your state even has considerable costs in car fuel or coach/train journeys.

This is slightly exaggerated. Most states aren't that big and this generic mentality only really applies to multiple state travel (like a road trip).

Hell, I live in a bordered city. It's shared between two states. Every day I drive between them. Work in one, live in another. This isn't an uncommon occurrence across the US. The only inconvenience of it is when tax time rolls around.
And this practice has been going on informally since the 70's when the first HOV lanes were opened. I have used it before and although the first few rides might feel awkward, you get used to it quickly and it's a great improvement over driving in traffic. It might have been easier to start here though because almost everyone who uses it on the route I take is going to the Pentagon, so the drivers and riders are fairly homogenous.

Google Maps already provides this but with public transit -- real-time notifications of when your bus/train is departing for going home/work.

Granted that you have to explicitly set home/work addresses and what your regular departure time ranges (eg: go to work between 7-8am and go home between 5-6pm).

Tbh this sounds exactly like what you're describing but with public car-pooling substituted for public transit.
If 14 year olds know more about the security vulnerabilities of our most highly adopted computer systems than the professionals which use and safeguard/build them, then it would say more about those professionals than the teens (a fact that I am highly sceptical of).

Or could it be a self reported survey says more about the perception of 'cool' subversive behaviours amongst that group than it's prevalence? I'd buy the latter over the former. You only have to wander around a university campus nowadays to understand the the days of overindulgence in drink/drugs are over -- and that being a self-identified entrepreneur or hacker is de rigeur.

All these factors you mention can be modeled as constant or contingent biases applied to the inputs. There is no magical aspect of the brain here. To the extent that the brain is using unstated factors to make decisions, its decision making is unfair.

> I encourage you to study brain chemistry, and compare that with any stats course ever.

You're hand-waving. This is not a useful discussion technique. If you have a point about how some aspect of brain chemistry produces decision outputs that are difficult to encode, please make it. Otherwise, please stop this aspect of your argument.

That something is "insurmountably more complex" than some other thing doesn't make it better than that thing. Sometimes, it's just insurmountably more complex for no good reason. The blind watchmaker doesn't build elegant watches.

It is a problem, but not the way you are exaggerating it to be. You act as if there is a nazi army ready to march on the nation, but that's not happening. We do have pockets of bigots and racists and god knows what else, but they don't have huge bases of support unless we act like they do. Nazis want to feel important, they want people to get riled up and fight them. That's what the actual nazis did.

ordinary Nazi running around and slapping PoC

There are a lot of bigots and racists doing thaT, but unless we're being really loose with the term nazi, we don't actually have that many nazis running around.

Their worst acts were in the mid 1990s (OKC). Hell, in 1999 in Jasper, some racists lynched a man. 1999! Those people have always been around, they always will be around. There's always going to be some number of incidents. That does not mean they have real power nor should people act like they do.

>Facebook's done enough of that class segregation for us already

I'm convinced the Bay Area itself has done enough of that segregation. Isn't that the entire reason people move there? Every time I ask why someone moved to SV, they say it's because that's where all of the tech talent is. Why is your startup headquartered in SV? Because that's where all the tech talent is. The only reason SV exists is because it's self-segregated into a high density of well-paid, well-educated technologists.

There are many places around the country that have tech jobs and a far lower cost of living, but why do people choose SV instead of those other places? Because SV has a higher density of people who are just like me.

This is actually a problem in free countries. You do not have a cabal of elite on the throne who see themselves as the rulers forever. Consequently, long term planning is not as much of a concern. In this particular case the shareholders who pressured the CEO to move the labour overseas were only concerned with their short term gain. The politicians who might have endorsed it, were also thinking about their short term gain.

Nobody is thinking about the future until there is clear trouble on the horizon.
