>Indian or South African growth may not be glamorous, but it might be sustainable. (And the population growth in both places is far less alarming than generally thought.)

While I doubt that's the case for either (them being sustainable), you raise an important point.

What we call "success" (economic, and so on), might be in fact a liability (environmental, societal and democratic debt), and countries doing worse than US, Germany, China, Japan, and so on, might be much better in actual sustainability and future-proofness.

The problem is we talk about "progress" without ever mentioning progress towards what. More GDP, more consumer gizmos, more productivity, etc -- but rarely we talk about preferred ways of life, maximizing happiness, inequality, democracy, and so on.
Those with acute renal failure (kidneys) largely need to go to and from a dialysis center a couple of times a week. Dialysis is an exhausting, lengthy process. Once the treatment is finished, a patient really is not fit to drive yet many do for the sake of cost. Driving after dialysis is like DWI. It isn't safe for anyone on the road.

If Uber Health can provide affordable transportation services for dialysis patients, it is providing a life changing service that is sorely needed. This is a great idea and I hope that the service succeeds.
Hobbes, like Milton, was dramatically effected by the English civil war; Milton's "On the tenure of kings and magistrates" was very clearly a "Please don't kill me" and it's generally not read for this reason. I only recommend it if you are a huge Milton fan (which is something I strongly recommend becoming)

Hobbes didn't write anything quite so... obvious, and I think we read 'leviathan' today because he makes such a clear and compelling argument against anarchy; I'm not saying it was his intent, but the leviathan can be read as tirade against Anarchy rather than a paean to tyranny. anarchy is so bad that if the only alternative is some ridiculously absolutist ruler, well, that's still better than the state of nature.

My own feeling is that his support of absolutism was mostly about how people were asked to choose sides. I think you can't understand Hobbes and his weird authoritarianism without the context of the English civil war

It goes the other way as well. In recent history, right-wing fascist authoritarianism has risen when the economy turns bad. e.g. Nazi Germany, 1930s Italy. The Greek right wing groups are currently a non-negligible presence.

I'll readily admit I'm no nuclear physicist, but even I'm not so ignorant as to smear negative broadbrush appraisals reactionarily simply because I read 'teh nukular' in an article.

In fact, small format nuclear offers a decent chance at bridging the (frankly archaic in my opinion) second and third generation reactors with fourth generation and beyond.

Small format allows for quicker iteration and greater distribution of development due to lower costs (witness start-ups across North America, Europe and China making progress that might make ITER or the EDF blush in a few years).

Small format encourages systems that actually use waste of previous generations reactors, thereby alleviating the single-biggest worry about 'nukular' beyond proliferation.. which in itself is physically and technically stymied by advanced techs.
I hope it does not end up like Zimbabwe. From what I understand, some demagogues are demanding that white farmers' land must be taken over by the state and redistributed to blacks. This is exactly where things started going wrong with Mugabe.
We leave Saudi Arabia alone and that has hardly turned into a democratic beacon.

How to be top modern artist:

1) Move to NYC, get a job working for a near blue-chip artist. Look for one with the fewest assistants. Accept $20 an hour.

2) Go to art openings, sign your name in every gallery guest book and attend every after-party.

3) Have a studio, and get your friends, employer and his gallery contacts to visit

4) Start showing your work, or repeat steps 2 and 3 until someone shows your work.

5) The ball is now, rolling. To add some momentum do the following:

- Curate a summer show at a gallery somewhere

- Upgrade your studio to someplace people like to visit.
(Dark wood floors, on the waterfront in Red Hook, Brooklyn perhaps) Throw good parties.

- Grow a lumberjack beard. Or, only shop at comme des garcons. Or thrift-store jeans and a white T, for all occasions.

6) Make friends with writers and critics. (Their needs are human, just like yours)

7) Get shown, written about, and finally get collected.

8) Now...this is the part where most artists discover how life as a successful artist is actually appalling. You'll need to socialize with and be popular among some very wealthy, but ultimately superficial people who treat you and your art as a certificate of their cultural sophistication.

9) If you have made it this far, and still want to continue, you probably have what is takes to be a successful modern artist whose work will appear at auction in a few years. Just keep in mind -- you'll receive none of those auction proceeds, and there's no promise you'll every go to auction again.
Please don't say stuff like "I have full faith" when it comes to astrobiology :(. It's really tough for us to even get funding for a lot of these missions, especially now that NASA is being pushed away from astronomy/science and into crewed spaceflight, and the added pressure of some people's "full faith" is really not helpful, as well-intentioned as it may be.

Automation on subway trains is almost never about saving costs - even well paid drivers make up a very small percentage of the operational costs of a subway. The vast majority goes on maintenance.

In most cases the costs imposed by a wave of city-crippling strikes will far outstrip the minor cost gains from automating the rail line, so it only makes sense to actually automate and fire the drivers if the goal is actually political.

Subway drivers comprise a strong component of a country's labor power (because of their power to shut down critical infrastructure) and the alliances they typically hold with other unions and their political donations cement that. They don't just offset the power of the government they work under, they offset the power of executive/shareholder power in general.

Since labor and union power is largely what held income inequality in check until the 80s, the political goal behind crushing them is pretty clearly about increasing the wealth and income inequality chasm still further.

> Most average people I speak to (UK) still ask if if people eat dog meat and proclaim China is communist.

What do you answer? We have a saying in Austria that Chinese eat everything that throws a shadow (I don’t approve of this, just recount), and I as an uninformed person don’t know what to call it instead of communism (sure, not the traditional kind).
The main difference is that this is literally all Bitcoin is intended for - “just another way that money exchanges hands.”

They're not containers as in Linux containers, they're "contextual identities" within the same Firefox process, that isolate things like cookies. Much weaker isolation (technologically) than process/user privilege separation, but OTOH highly usable. (Well, there's the e10s process separation, but nothing anything extra for multi-account containers, as far as I understand).

What things it isolates are listed here: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Contextual_Identity_Projec...

FWIW they work great.
Knuth never wanted to run a business (to my knowledge). Ambition and desire are necessary though not sufficient factors for business success.

Knuth did achieve immortality through his magnum opus, which is another kind of major success.

I'm just arguing that wealth distribution is not random in the real world, not justifying whether it should be one way or another.
Not OP, but in general: Empirically, in historical context, land reform done right creates wealth throughout economy.

Do it wrong, however, and you can end up like Zimbabwe.

The track record of the South African state in the past decade has been depressive. After they booted Zuma there is probably a chance to do better, but it's not obvious everything will go well from now on.
COMISO 40W BLUETOOTH SPEAKER
EDIT: What follows is true for extensional MLTT. If you add univalence to intensional MLTT, all of this goes out the window. It is conjectured that you can replace "locally cartesian closed category" with "locally cartesian closed infinity categeory" and similarly for toposes and everything will work out.

It can be proved that every topos is locally cartesian closed, and that models of MLTT are precisely the locally cartesian closed categories. The syntactical model of MLTT, i.e. the model built from well-formed types and terms, is the initial model of MLTT, and hence also the initial locally cartesian closed category. The unique functor induced by initiality assigns each valid term in MLTT a morphism in some given locally cartesian categor, which can be seen as recovering intuitionistic proofs from MLTT because toposes are locally cartesian closed.

It is not true that MLTT universes are always toposes though. They are not always cocomplete and need not have a subobject classifier. A consequence is that MLTT does not have proper existential quantifiers (despite what the article claims) because Σ_(x : A) B(x) carries proofs of B(x) along with elements x. It is thus not true that Σ_(x : A) B(x) is a subset of A, which one would expect from existential quantification.

MLTT corresponds to a weaker logic than the more usual intuitionistic one: Sequents in the former make sense in the latter, but not necessarily conversely.

Oh, and maybe there is a slight misconception in your last paragraph: Universes in MLTT are not the same thing as models of MLTT. Models of MLTT are something you talk about from externally of MLTT, from a metatheoretical viewpoint. The universes in the HoTT sense are internal to the logic.
Try AbeBooks instead.
>The West on the otherhand had that in 2008, it survived although the repurcussions are still being felt (Trump).

Trump is hardly the repercussions though, and the West has hardly survived in the sense of "overcoming" the recession.

Trump is a result of (and a reaction of the people to) the recession, and the recession (jobs lost, dwindling middle class, etc) still holds, even though figures paint a rosy pictures and those outside the affected masses hardly know better.
> Bandwidth at AWS costs about 50 times as much as with Hetzner for example.

It's actually closer to 70x

Hetzner: 1.25 USD per TB (after 30 TB free per server) [1]

AWS: 90 USD per TB [2]

So, 100 TB at Hetzner will cost you 125 USD (not counting the 30 TB free). You would pay 9000 USD at AWS.

>So you don't go from nomad tribes to democratic regimes in one step.

That doesn't exactly contradict what the parent said. If anything it supports it.

Precisely because "you don't go from nomad tribes to democratic regimes in one step" modern "Middle Eastern countries work best (as in, remain relatively stable)" as non-democracies.

>The Middle East is not composed of countries, all the borders on the map were artificially created by colonial powers

That's true, but those artificially created countries are still all we have, and are still countries (states) in all senses of the world, and those are the parent was talking about.
True.

Things like gold, bitcoin, stamp collections, art, expensive cars etc serve a similar function: the function of "saving", as opposed to "investing".

With "saving" I mean storing some excess purchasing power in something that doesn't have a counterparty and doesn't generate income, but also can't be duplicated easily so is likely to at least not loose a lot of value.

Of course, all these saving devices have different properties.

Gold and bitcoin are liquid, whereas art is extremely illiquid. Gold and bitcoins are egalitarian, in the sense that a poor man buying gold gets the same thing as a rich man buying gold. Art is elitist and susceptible to huge winner-takes-all effects. All are susceptible to stealing, but cryptocurrencies are susceptible to total failure because of their complexity (bugs, mathematical weakness, ...)

>Authoritarianism is easy to support when the economy is booming and living standards are increasing. When this falters, which it inevitably will, then discontent will spread from a relatively small group of political discontents to the population at large, who will start to demand change. And that demand can be the pressure that tips the balance in favour of democratic rule.

If anything, history has taught us the reverse. Nazi Germany became that way exactly because "living standards" were decreasing in the Weimar republic. And all those Latin American countries with low living standards had (and some have) mostly dictatorships and compromised "democracies".
I can understand wanting to have a similar but cheaper product. Good enough is fine for most people. I don't understand why you'd want counterfeit branding too.

Main problem is, it doesn't look at all robust. A small change in a single word at the start or end sentence produces a whole different result. That doesn't look like a "space" at all, as insights about closeness do not work in it.

> union power is largely what held income inequality in check until the 80s

Would love to see actual evidence that this is true.
Yes, I actually prefer to keep the nuclear stuff in a limited number of places. That makes supervision a lot easier, and stealing nuclear material a lot harder. Much more, I prefer not adding to the nuclear waste we already don't know how to deal with.

Fossil energy is preferable to nuclear, and the volatility of wind or solar energy is much less of a problem than people think. Especially with newer technologies to even out the supply.
There are actually lots of ways. The most obvious way is to secondary screen using a external party all rejected candidates to make sure that the best candidates was selected. This will also provide you with political cover when you don’t just hire people on the basis of their skin color.
I think you are being too absolute.

There is some value to the content, even though I totally agree that the contacts are dramatically more valuable than the content if you go to a good school.

Personally, I find that finding management and business content on my own is actually harder than finding Engineering content on my own; management and business training is full of tony robins style confidence men, and it's difficult, for me at least, to sort out what is actually worthwhile. For that matter, just an overview of what sort of professional to hire in what situation would be nice. (For instance, if you are just looking for tax help and don't plan on selling the company, an 'Enrolled Agent' is actually better than a 'CPA' though the two certifications are of similar difficulty; the EA focuses on dealing with the IRS, while the CPA has more of a focus on the accounting you would need if you are selling your company or something.)

Nuclear accidents happen, yes... at power plants with designs which were outlawed on safety grounds 40 years ago.

As implied by other commenters, the problem is that Rust cannot currently abstract out a concrete return type without indirection of some sort. More formally, it’s not possible to existentially quantify over a trait bound; in other words, to say that whatever the actual type that is returned, all the caller needs to know is that it implements a certain trait or traits.

Note that it’s exactly the same in other major statically-typed languages like Java or C++: there are no existential types without indirection (which in the case of Java and similar managed languages is implicit and mandatory).

Rust is in the progress of adding existential trait bounds in the form of the `impl trait` feature. It’s already available in nightly.

During all of the above, to become a top modern artist: say and do stuff that is very disturbing or controversial to the plebes, but avoid real controversy at all cost when it comes to your art friends.

However, to be a top future artist: say and do stuff which is super controversial to your art friends. Have an actual vision, be fanatic about it and avoid everyone except those who are truly interested in what you do. You'll probably die penniless even when you're supremely gifted.
