The key to space is genetics. If we can master modifying our own code, we can solve all of the uncomfortable aspects of space travel (radiation, low/zero gravity, habitable environments※).

With extreme longevity you can even get over the time aspects (If a human can live for multiple centuries, a few decades spent on travel isn't that much time).

※ No need to terraform - instead of adapting the planet to humans, adapt humans to the planet. Scarce atmosphere? Add the Nepalese genes to survive at high altitude[1]. Heavy gravity? Increase bone and muscle mass. Water world? Gills it is!

Some people believe that Uber basically incentivizes people to switch from public transport. Hence, you’d have more cars on the road. Along the same lines you could argue that there are few people who already own a car who would sell their car just because of Uber
Bluetooth 5.0 – Faster and Better
The Chinese don't care about "dictatorship". Their lives are largely unaffected. Sure, sometimes a political rant gets deleted from the Internet, but it has little bearing on actual daily life.

They openly mock western liberal values, they have their own slang for it. It seems so natural for the westerners that all countries will naturally drift towards democratic governments and more freedom, but it seems that some regions of the world just don't work that way. Just like Middle Eastern countries work best (as in, remain relatively stable) under military dictatorships, China seems to prefer authoritarian rule that at the same time doesn't really get in the way of them living their lives the way they're used to. It's a tough pill to swallow, but some nations just don't like democracy and don't want to implement it in any form.
That’s the idea behind it for the passenger. Remember there’s another person on every side of your Uber transaction, who might have recently bought a car but would not have otherwise.

"I think today the world is asking for a real alternative. Would you like to live in a world where the only alternative is either anglo-saxon neoliberalism or Chinese-Singaporean capitalism with Asian values?

I claim if we do nothing we will gradually approach a kind of a new type of authoritarian society. Here I see the world historical importance of what is happening today in China. Until now there was one good argument for capitalism: sooner or later it brought a demand for democracy...

What I'm afraid of is with this capitalism with Asian values, we get a capitalism much more efficient and dynamic than our western capitalism.

>Instead of giving in to a gut reaction, you should read the paper. All research must get funding in one way or another. If you exclude research due to funding sources and potential conflicts of interest, you wouldn't be left with much.

It makes sense to try and figure out what the funders would want the answer to be and see if the research matches that. If it does, shouldn't you be more skeptical?

For example, if Exxon funded research saying that global warming isn't caused by man or Walmart funded research saying that raising the minimum wage causes mass unemployment then it's pretty clear that they would benefit from the result.

In this example it looks like these companies probably just want to be associated with MIT (or they have an interest in other pieces of research) and I can't see any particular reason to suppose that they'd be invested in the outcome of this study in particular.
It is sad that after so many good explanations by me you're in complete denial of facts that

1) normally it isn't (in Europe at least), but I said that I definitely can see situations when it is (in Europe as well as elsewhere) and I never suggested nor said that there aren't any such situations or that it's negligible

2) I'm not talking about them not having a right to do so nor I'm suggesting they shouldn't; I'm saying that using this right should be properly considered before doing so instead of taking it as a default

3) Most companies (again, in Europe, but I'm pretty sure that in the USA as well) don't have any way to do anything about this mismanagement, most companies are small businesses that don't have enough money for that. Not telling them information like this will mean that they will prefer men or risk going under (because the risk of being catched illegally preferring men could be smaller than that). Do you realise that this directly contributes to pay inequality because hiring woman is more riskful than hiring a man (and no, the risk is not the maternal leave itself, the risk lies in being in a situation that you couldn't properly plan for beforehand)?

4) the business is owned by people, possibly women with exactly the same issues as well, but you suggest they don't have the same rights for safety?

I'm sorry to be rude, but did you read what I wrote? Maybe do it again, more carefully? You sound like I suggest depriving women of that right, but I explicitly said that this is not something I want to suggest.

Seems like people completely forgot that having millions of dollars in investments is not common.

For the large majority of CRUD apps the least cost you should be concerned about is hosting, but development time. This kind of architecture adds an extra layer of complexity that is trivially solved with most of the web frameworks out there.

> Just like Middle Eastern countries work best (as in, remain relatively stable) under military dictatorships

This is extremely easy to say after any attempts at democracy in the middle east(Nasser and the Nasserites, Mossadegh, and now Rojava) are crushed by foreign powers and military dictatorships are actively supported since they are easier to control.
It seems to me that the psychological component makes conquering the other two impossibly difficult for some people with depression. In that case medication could temporarily take that dimension out of the equation so the person can actually get some beneficial work done on the other parts of their lives.

One of the primary markets for all luxury watches is plain simple bribery of government officials.

Thomas Hobbes would have approved. Famously in the Leviathan he argued for a sovereign commonwealth, a sort of autocratic monarchical rule with no separation of powers. In order that the system be stable freedom of expression is subordinated to the sovereign as is the system of law an the free press.

Hobbes's Leviathan is China. Because Hobbes lived through a very tumultuous period of strife and conflict what he optimised for is stability and peace and prosperity at the expense of individual freedoms like the ability to choose one's destiny through either representative democracy or direct democracy.

If the lives of the vast majority of Chinese are improving, who is to say their system is morally wrong?

In fairness, the West only has itself to blame. Nobody with an honest heart can look at the post-colonial period and say that the West has not meddled in the affairs of other sovereign states. Also, many of the West's so-called republics and democracies are very hollow and corrupt often veering towards plutocracy, the system of law and political legislation is controlled by money and so corporate lobbying and eventually even political capture by corporations is rife. Workers rights are trampled at home and abroad though international agreements. Corporations evade paying taxes, they pollute the environment, collective bargaining is seen as a communist horror rather a democratic good.

The West is in no position to point fingers. That's what gets my goat up. Who the fuck do we think we are that we can tell others how to run their lives. What fucking gall. After all we've done? And we wonder why others respond indignantly and with contempt. I don't blame them. Get your own house in order first as Peterson says.

No, the correct response the Xi's power grab is not a suicidal arms race or political pressure. The correct response is to make the West an example others want to follow. We could start by taking back democracy by making citizen rule more direct so that people feel empowered. Let's move to the Swiss model. Let's reform the courts so that everybody has a fair chance, not the just the wealthy–it does not matter a whit if everybody is equal before the eyes of the law in theory if in practice they are not. We need to counter the evil of nationalism. We need to be sympathetic towards migrants. We need better separation of powers and we need to reject all forms of fundamentalism. Identity politics is a side-show, the arc of history is clear. Most importantly I think is that we need to place real limits on social media companies and we have to dismantle global surveillance, this is an evil so large it boggles the mind. We have to figure out how to combat rising economic inequality! We really do.

They built Leviathan, we built the Panopticon.

I recognise the freedoms we do have, such as my ability to criticise the system without repercussion, though if you agitate too much various agencies may open up a file on you.

The same argument could have been made about Europe not so long ago. I think one difference is that back then the playing field was more equal. Military power was roughly equal to the number of people you had fighting on your side.

Fighter Jets, Aircraft Carriers, Tanks, Drones, Nukes changes that to military power being equal to your economic power. Meaning that authoritarian governments are much harder to displace if they have enough economic power.

This might be true for a large portion of the population. That does not justify treating the rest as enemies of the state. Not allowing people the freedom to speak their mind is never moral.

When you are designing an hypothesis test the term positive and negative are not so clear. For example you can test that mean weight of bags is greater than 5.0 kg or smaller than 5.0 kg, both test are different, and some times you can accept both greater and smaller than 5.0 kg. The philosophy of hypotesis test is not as clear as a standard tests for pregnancy. In other terms,in some cases the H0 hypothesis is symmetric (>= versus =<) and is not clear what a positive result should be, you have to state clearly what is the H0 hypothesis. In a pregnancy test everyone agree than H0 is that you are not pregnant, that is in my HO the semantic difference between Type 1 error and false negative.

> The Chinese don't care about "dictatorship".

Not true for every Chinese person. They can't do anything about it, or in a more accurate account, they FEEL they can't do anything about it, is more universally agreed.

Cynicism is deeply rooted in the young Chinese today, maybe the fear facing a gigantic state machine alone is too real, and the fact their have more options than their parents' generation is also real, thus rather than confronting the problem, they embrace escapism and showing compliance on the surface.
It they can't do any deals or transactions denominated in dollars with any other financial institutions with links to the US, which is most of them. That also means the ones left that they can deal with can pretty much charge whatever they like.
I concur - nation states under constant attack from imperial aggressors survive better under military dictatorships, precisely because that is what is required to survive during times of war.

If the West would leave the Middle East alone for a decade, it is highly likely that we'd see a much different picture. Its very difficult to develop free, social, democratic society when the institutions which support that development are perpetually bombed into oblivion: universities, hospitals, infrastructure.

Under times of intense duress, all humans survive better under military dictatorships. Its not just the Middle East. Not having had their infrastructure destroyed by outside forces, there isn't a single modern western democracy that we can use as a model to demonstrate this fact. If we stop bombing the Middle East, they'll have a chance to develop institutions which allow for their progress. Its just we, in the West, don't want to ever allow that to occur; it would interrupt our own development as Military-Industrial oligarchies.

Such a ridiculous claim which shows your lack of understanding of the Middle East. The Middle East is not composed of countries, all the borders on the map were artificially created by colonial powers and the only political structure that existed before was simply a tribal one. So you don't go from nomad tribes to democratic regimes in one step.
Even it it doesn't break your filesystem anymore: Performance is subpar in all aspects except sequential read/write even compared to ZFS. high snapshot count degrades performance and lot's of gotchas you discover after using it for a while. RAID1 is not RAID1 - it's oddness of the pid decides which disk to read from... scrub impacts io massivly. Tooling and documentation is not exactly great... lot's of quirky hacks to make up for design errors IMHO.

If it works for you, fine. Also it appears to get better - I won't touch it anymore if I can avoid it.
Would you consider modern China to be communist in any practical sense? It seems to be communist in the same way that Russia is democratic.

The JVM is okay if you need to build the build-tool (or whatever tool you're interested in).

Dear OP: I’d prefer a cheaper, “counterfeit” version of the product you discuss to the one you produce.
hm. It appears I'm off on my car prices. I thought japanese minivans were in that range, and with pool, those are really common. looking, they look closer to $30K than $40K if you don't spring for the extras. doing a survey of car manufacturer websites, my impression of how much vehicles cost appears to be around $10K high across the board. The base model honda accord is only $23K? that is way less than I thought.

I use uberx to work, and pool home most days; I've used select once. I think I get a Mercedes C-class at least once a week, some of them looking pretty new. Oddly, I almost never see BMWs. I remember the other night I got in some giant four door American pickup that looked new and very expensive, but I don't know enough about trucks to recognize the model to verify that impression.

Still, the standard Prius is gonna be like $400/month on a 60 month loan, and that's just the loan. I imagine that there would be much value in the vehicle after those 60 months, if you drove full time in it, and I imagine the Prius has lower operating costs than most vehicles in it's class.

I do occasionally get tiny economy cars... but not very often, which seems weird, as if the major cost was the car, you'd think drivers would optimize for that by buying smaller cars, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
In my country (Poland), cabs are not regulated very heavily, which leads to a flood of drivers, and low prices. In result, in many towns even by driving 10 hours a day (most of which is spent waiting for customers) you're making not much above the minimum wage. As a result, driving a cab has become in large part an extra source of income for retired cops or other people who retire early (say in their fourties).

I don't see nothing wrong with that - it's a job that requires no qualifications, has no boss, flexible hours, is not demanding physically or intellectually. In short - a dream job for many people. It only makes sense for it to pay less than say a grueling job at a factory.
You talk about Cambodia and Pol Pot. Do you want to talk about Guantanamo too? Or the secret CIA prisons in Poland, Romania and the Czech republic?

Come on, the USA is the least liberal and democratic ( in the true sense of the word ) country in the world. It is a plutocracy dressed as a democracy, where he people vote for the puppet du jour and the deep state runs the show under each and every administration.
