> Why does it matter if the differences are biological, cultural, or both?

> If women have the option to go into STEM without risking SOCIAL (ie: culture) exclusion yet they choose to do something else, shouldn't that be their choice?

I'd say it matters if it is social exclusion. If a bias is caused by biology, then that's fine. But clearly there shouldn't be a cultural bias, because that prevents people from making that choice. I see the problem solved when there are no cultural or political barriers.

It’s not an inherent negative but it’s a huge conflict of interest which every listener needs to factor in, especially since a booster has no long term commitment to stay past the point you buy in.

That doesn’t need to be a conscious attempt to defraud, either: humans are notoriously bad at seeing things accurately when not doing so is highly profitable. A lot of people really believed their house doubled in value over a couple years in the 2000s, or that selling things online was a high margin business before that.
For commercial solutions take a look at zscaler offerings.

The biggest problem in such solutions is that you have to identify the applications you have and sure Google is a relatively new tech company. Try to identify all apps/services on big old companies. Until you do that or decommission them, hou have either to keep your old VPN solution up or proxy ALL traffic and use the analysis tools they have to identify apps/services, again no walk in the park.

Of course as mentioned Google has most of its apps/services anyhow on the Internet so you mostly just use the host checking and client identification functionalities of such tools.

I liked his comment about trust, it's something that always bothered me with the very radical trust model of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. It is not entirely clear why you have to go all the way and do away with _all_ trust, except for niche applications such as transactions for people in repressive regimes (which are necessary but do not require us to replace conventional currencies with cryptocoins). In normally stable countries and economies, trust works great and makes everything so much more efficient.

If you don't like single central banks or intransparent financial institutions - cool, good thing there are Byzantine consensus algorithms that don't require proof-of-work but simply some known identities (in blockchain lingo this would probably be permissioned blockchains). You can get much of the benefits and build an ecosystem around known, trustworthy actors and don't have to use awkward mechanisms like proof-of-work.

This is literally the opposite of the adage. It doesn’t say “if you never asked who the sucker is, you’re the sucker.” It’s “if you can’t identify the sucker, you’re the sucker.” With Bitcoin, everyone who isn’t an exchange or getting paid to promote an ICO is probably a sucker.

Private companies also behave this way. It’s not unique to government.

If a mall shuts down, the stores don’t get to stay open. If a restaurant closes early, the waitstaff doesn’t get paid for missed hours.

Also important to list the high percentage of startups that fail and layoff employees, often employees who worked under market value in exchange for equity.

At the same time the Permian has been found to contain tens of billions of barrels of oil beyond what was anticipated could be extracted just ten years ago. Undercounting is almost universal throughout oil's industrial history, and tilts toward there being a lot more.

Pioneer pegs Spraberry/Wolfcamp at 50 billion barrels (and Eagle Ford at 25 billion). The Permian will end up being comparable in size only to Ghawar, with ~100 billion barrels or more (Pioneer says 150+ billion, other studies say 70-80 billion, and so on). That's based on today's technology, tomorrow we'll be able to extract more.

Cross the border into Mexico, you're going to find more massive shale deposits that we haven't even looked at yet (it doesn't just magically stop at the Texas border very obviously). That'll happen in the next ten years.

Saying that you expect a different tone because he is currently writing in English, in public, for an international audience is not the same as saying that his culture of origin in no way influences his communication style.

That's like saying because my mother is now an American citizen, she should obviously no longer have a German accent. You may personally feel she has some obligation to do her best to lose the accent, but regardless of the standards you would like to see imposed on other people, most people remain influenced for life by things they grew up with.

It is outside the mission scope of the littoral class of ship. They're not ice breakers, and frankly would be terrible ice breakers due to their tonnage.

They're designed to sit close off of someone's coastline and "discourage" small boats (e.g. piracy, terrorism), detect submarines, and destroy mines. And definitely fits a niche some of the US's larger ships struggle to fulfil.

They're who you'd send in to deal with Somali Pirates for one example. Just have it patrol up and down the coast.
What is driving the rise of the Intellectual Dark Web?
Solid answer. There is no point to worry about classes. All I have to know is what I like and find interesting. Then find out what I need to know to do that.
It's a mixed bag. Some jobs are deemed essential or exempted and so those individuals have to work. But not all are. Most of NASA, for instance, is shutdown as their work isn't considered critical or exempted.

Exempted: Usually a result of the way it's funded. Some government work is funded by the budget, directly. Others essentially pay for themselves (the government workers acting in essence as contractors or a business, they receive payments from others besides the Congress to do work). Most of those have funding that would last 2-6 weeks. They get to stay open.

None of these people were going to get paid during the shutdown, but they were still expected to work. Their paychecks after the shutdown would pay them. Essentially they're guaranteed the pay, but the pay date would slip.

Although now it's a moot point as it looks like the shutdown is ending.

Given that demand growth has outstripped discoveries, how is it that we've continued to grow production for these last 40 years?

The answer lies in the metric "proven reserves" - oil that we have the technology to recover today - which has outpaced production increases over the last 40 years (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3866387/figure/...), leaving us with 50 years of production at today's rates, up from 30 years in 1980. Figure from https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3866387/

The weakness of most peak oil supply discussions, including that "peak-oil-perspective" link, is that they only count "Conventional" oil. Ignoring "Unconventional oil" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconventional_oil has caused these predictions to be invalidated every time. Hubbert's original "peak oil" prediction did not consider "unconventional" oil, because there was no "unconventional" oil production at that time (and the term still remains loosely defined - basically oil that costs more than other oil to produce).

Increased prices provide incentives to create technologies to recover previously unusable sources and to bring previously uneconomic sources into production. Today's "unconventional" oil includes sources that most people just expect to be counted as part of the oil supply, like fracking and offshore drilling. Increased prices also motivate developing and shifting to other energy sources which were previously not economically viable, like wind and solar.

This article http://www.artberman.com/the-crude-oil-export-ban-what-me-wo... does better, but in his eagerness to declare peak oil supply, he ignores economics and his peak oil supply declaration failed immediately as world oil supply continued to grow: https://www.eia.gov/outlooks/steo/report/global_oil.php

Turning your question around, "Can you explain to me how we can hit peak oil production, when growth in proven reserves outstrips production growth — and has, for nearly forty years?" (It's possible, but it seems likely we will hit peak demand and reduce oil demand well before we hit peak supply).

My point was solely that there are ways to preserve x86-64 as an ISA, and listed the single most obvious way to go about it. I never suggested that it was the best solution, or that those changes would be made any time soon, or that Intel's behavior has been anything but atrocious.

Did you mean to respond to someone else, maybe?
I think it’s a comparable situation to dumping[1].
Google can attract users from TinEye by virtue of their brand alone and subsidize their own product even if it is unprofitable. The result is that in the long term TinEye is unable to compete and disappears, after which point Google has no incentive to improve their service. The only entities left that can compete are other titans.

It also is a distortion in that it discourages investment into technical innovation if you are trying to make money as a non-titan—-why even bother if Google will just come along and copy your product then give it away for free (to drive traffic to Google search)?

There is still the potential of innovation in this case from academic researchers, who might not care about commercialization. But such a situation where individuals cannot hope to compete and where research just feeds into titans would be pretty awful.

> Great we can fork at any time and from any single transaction. So, we can essentially make infinite currencies. That's hugely wasteful and causes mass inflation. … If you add some centralized backing, like with USD for example, you get way more clout.

Okay. One of the appeals of cryptocurrencies to anti-government types is that there is predictability and transparency over new currency creation, since it's hard-coded in an algorithm. We can find out exactly how many Bitcoins there will be in five years. Granted, forks can change those algorithms, but they're still transparent. Also, forks of the Etherium Classic or Bitcoin Cash type don't really count as inflation, since you cannot send ETC when the receiver is expecting ETH, and likewise with BCH/BTC; they are not interoperable. In other words, the Bitcoin Cash fork did not cause inflation of core Bitcoin.

Now let's consider USD. Do you know how many USD there will be in five years? USD creation is at the whim of legislators and unelected bureaucrats who could collude tomorrow to crash the value of USD by just letting the printing presses run and there's not really anything that most of the users of USD, the normal people, can do about that. Now I'm not saying that such intentional currency crashing is likely to happen, but that lack of control and predictability is why libertarian types would find the idea of backing cryptocurrency with government fiat currency to be nonsense.
There is a concept of persuasion in NLP called "pacing and leading." The objective is to build rapport and then leverage it to your advantage. Essentially you first match what they're doing, so if they are sprinting on a track you sprint and run along side them (rather than trying to walk and expect them to keep up) so you are pacing. Then when you are alongside each other and in contact so to speak, you can either increase or decrease the pace gradually and they will follow you. The running idea is a metaphor here for "energy" or whatever you want to call it.

I will repost a comment of mine from another Bitcoin thread about a month ago regarding this comparison because the comparison is just ridiculous:

Bitcoin is estimated to use about the same energy as the whole country of Denmark[1]. Denmark has over 790 million cashless transactions with "Dankort", a local debit card, per year alone[2] - excluding other payment methods. Bitcoin can handle about 2,000 transactions per block[3]. 2,000 transactions times 6 blocks per hour times 24 hours in a day times 365 days in a year equals 105,120,000 transactions per year.

Congratulations, you just used the energy of the whole country of Denmark with _everything_ in it (housholds, heavy industry, etc.) to process less than a 1/7th of Denmark's cash-less transactions with a _specific_ (albeit widely used) debit card.

You see, your argument is simply invalid. "Traditional" banking is more energy efficient by multiple orders of magnitude.

Of course, if you go through the world without ethical concerns, then your plan sounds pretty good.
It's not required, obviously. But art as its commonly understood (and specifically protected in many countries' constitutions) functions as one of the mechanisms of a "civil society", much like journalism, unions, religions etc.

In that sphere, i. e. politics (broadly), there are no crazy new inventions that make everyone happy. Science can find a cure for AIDS and nobody will complain. But politics is to some degree a zero-sum game, where a finite amount of "power" can only redistributed.

Almost any change will therefore have opponents: the sexual revolution frustrated catholics, #metoo unearthed buried guilt etc.

"Ugliness" really doesn't play into it. Every city has places far uglier than any piece of publicly displayed art I can think of. More often, it's the actual idea that freaks people out: The holy Mother Maria spanking the infant Jesus[0] is not too bad on the eye, but it's a really strange idea[0] (From the 1920, by the way–shock value isn't a new idea).

The Nazis hated Picasso not (just) for his Guernica, but because they abhorred uncertainty, subjectivity, and doubt. That's why they rejected his (and most other) abstract art. It's also why they really didn't like relativity and quantum physics: it's possible that they missed their chance to get the atom bomb first because they had aesthetic objections to this "strange new relativism".

I'm genuinely curious about why you say that. Isn't proof of work proving itself to be a bad way to guarantee trust? Aren't the alternatives worth working on? Does that statement belie a fundamental misunderstanding of blockchain somehow (if so, I'd really like to understand why)?

That's a modern Italian cookery book. The cuisine of Italy has changed out of all recognition in the past 2000 years. Ancient Romans had none of the new world ingredients which are staples of modern Italian cuisine: tomatoes, courgettes, pepper, maize, potatoes. Nor did they have aubergines or basil despite their trade with India.

We have absolutely no problem translating the original recipes, which are in Latin. The only ambiguity is in ingredient quantities and cooking times, but any competent cook is able to figure those out.
