> Can you sort that out from simple insecurity about not meeting society's standards from a traditional family? And if that is the case, wouldn't it be more prudent to change education or provide counseling to some couples in that situation?

I'm not sure. A large part of it could definitely be that men don't know how to act in such a situation since it's not a family format that society has had to deal with before.

The changes you're advocating for are all pretty radical (I don't mean this is a bad way necessarily) and I'd be worried that they may have unintended or unplanned for consequences.
I don't think it's a given that men can raise children as well as women can.

With regards to divorce. I think it's pretty clear that divorce is harmful when children are involved. The best thing for kids is to have two parents in a healthy marriage. Obviously this isn't always possible, but I think it should be the goal.

It may not work on any planet. A fundamental design challenge is that increased size of solar panels create more drag, and increasing the height to reduce drag means it must go faster which further increases drag. While the Solar Impulse has demonstrated an equilibrium of speed-to-size can be maintained at normal altitude and low speed, we'll have to wait to see if something can be built to sustain equilibrium at these heights.

Does the self driving truck have any kind of security? Given that there is a "do no harm" program embedded into the driving "subroutines", is there anything that prevents thieves from essentially surrounding the truck and robbing it in the middle of nowhere?

Edit: To clarify I mean - in a hypothetical situation where it is ever driverless, couldnt 10 of us surround it, while I walk in and commandeer it, disable GPS and drive off ?

Shameless plug: I cover this topic in my book, Reactive Machine Learning Systems: https://www.manning.com/books/reactive-machine-learning-syst... In particular, chapters 7 and 8 cover the design of model servers and model microservices, from publishing through to serving. And chapter 9 focuses on how build CI/CD pipelines for ML systems.

Definitely lots more options than I even had space to cover in a single book, though. This is an area where the tooling continues to rapidly improve.
Feynman gave a talk once which included a by-the-way remark like "this is not a scientific age". It stuck in my mind because of course that wasn't the common view of the 1950s or 60s when he said it. The obvious reason to say it is that some people still consume astrology, etc. But I came to realize that this is the sort of non-scientific-ageness that stands out. About all sorts of important things in daily life we don't collectively act as if we're curious about the truth and ready to do what it takes to learn it. If this were a scientific age then not routinely checking practices like this would stand out. Everyone would wonder if they had something to hide.

Programming was less routinely scientific like that in my own experience earlier in my career when automated testing was less common.

I think the Feynman talk was the one that turned into his posthumous book The meaning of it all, though I'm not sure.

After reading so many good things about spotify, I gave it a spin for the first time this past week. It actually is the best music streaming service I've used before, but I'm still not going to subscribe.

New albums on CD are nearly universally under $10 now, and used CDs are even cheaper, so the price of Spotify is more than an album per month. That's a very steep price, and ultimately I think I'm happier buying 15 CDs per year than paying Spotify's subscription fees.

I don't see such high royalties are sustainable if Spotify can't be profitable under them.

This has interesting implications for organizational dynamics: the more you can allow people across the organization to innovate, rather than relying on promotion and formal recognition to pre-pick winners, the more likely the company will benefit from future luck. And it may be more valuable for a company to hire a bunch of people who are just "good enough" than one person who is a super-genius, because it makes it more likely the company will get lucky.

Assuming the truck driver isn't heavily armed or willing to endanger themselves by wrecking an 18 wheeler, there's nothing really stopping anyone from doing that today.

You seem to be working under the assumption the nobody has ever hijacked truck up to this point, and that for whatever reason self driving trucks would be left unlocked with no security mechanisms in place whatsoever.
> The party hierarchy outranks the state one. In other countries, the ministers of finance and foreign affairs (government jobs) are usually the most important ones after the president or prime minister. In China, they are not even in the top 25. Neither man is a member of the Politburo, let alone its inner sanctum, the Politburo Standing Committee. Formally, the People’s Liberation Army is controlled by the party, not the government.

It was interesting to read. Some countries have an official "balance of powers" defined in the Constitution. But even authoritarian or dictatorial regimes have an informal balance of powers. In the old Soviet Union they pretty much had the Politburo, the army and KGB. They kind of kept each other in check in strange way.

Wonder where the business interests fit in the China's balance of powers. Do large companies bribe the government officials or go through the party to get things done and how do they interact in general.
And if LBJ was possessed of what is now the conventional wisdom about Vietnam (yours), you might have a point. But LBJ was an interventionist liberal anti-Soviet. That's why Prados has an article to write, after all – almost every post-Vietnam liberal, in LBJ's position, would have pulled out of Vietnam ASAP.

Prados' piece is about how the players of the time, as they actually were, reacted to and shaped the events of the time. On that note, what is so damnably awful about learning Westmoreland's point of view? Do you really think that the article would have been improved by the rote acknowledgement "… and as a historian, I must say, he was dead wrong", or is that simply what it takes for those in left-wing circles to feel better about reading history in late '10's?

I've been trying to get into hockey lately and I doubt It'll last because there seems to be too much randomness to it. I feel like I would enjoy it more were it 4-on-4. I think I would also enjoy it more if each side were given 1-2 free powerplays per period. Hockey fans in the youtube comments say that there's more parity in the NHL than other sports leagues and that's skewing the calculation for luck vs randomness.

We choose to allow 4.5 million visitors to Yosemite NP each year and countless others to other national, state, and local parks and preserves per year. There is a lot of damage done to these areas by visitors that we've designated to protect and conserve. The rational explained to me is this: if all we did was fence up these areas to protect them and maybe severely limit the number of visitors, sure we could protect these lands very well, however there is no emotional way to generate public support for conserving these lands. By allowing visitors to parks, the public is able to experience the wonder of these areas and bring the desire to conserve them home, so to speak.

I imagine the same applies to zoos: they exist as a way to expose people to a slice of the wildlife in the world that makes the animals tangible, not just pixels on a screen. I would agree the model for many zoos needs work, but any zoo that focuses on rehabilitating animals rather than captivity for the sake of it is a step in the right direction.
This ruling is completely different from your example. Making and selling drugs and even littering is still 100% illegal, regardless of if you do it in your home or car. Very different from selling your car/home to pay parking tickets and fines.

>Big companies prioritize the bottom line, so the last thing they want to do is turn away customers or risk a black eye on social media that can spur a boycott. Small businesses tend to take an attitude of "I'll run my business my way, even if it hurts the bottom line!"

This is preposterous. A small business relies on all the good customer relationships and feedback it can possibly get, running it in a customer-hostile manner is a great way to go out of business. A social media cascade might cost a megacorp some lost profits; for a small business it could easily be your downfall.

>think also what HR departments can do for you

HR departments do NOT work for you; they work for the company. HR is not and will never be your friend. Megacorps don't magically make workplaces less toxic just because they have an HR department.
Truck drivers don't do office work, really. All of the documents like bill of lading, etc are taken care of by the office workers of the company the driver works with.

They have to do paperwork like logging hours, doing a pre-trip inspection, etc. This is done during off-time while the driver isn't driving (for obvious reasons). Usually on the driver's seat with a clipboard on the steering wheel :D

Looking at some examples, many billionaires are doubling their wealth every 10 years on inflation adjusted dollars. Some are obviously much less successful. But there is a good chance that small group of billionaire can turn in to trillionair in just a century.

This amount of wealth is sort of a tipping point because it is enough wealth to outright buy a large portion of some region in a troubled country including autonomy that allows to establish a new country. Another alternative could be to use that amount of wealth to purchase politicians across the world and twist the laws according to one's dearly held ideology. Yet another option could be use wealth in major advancements such as building generational spaceships or curing long standing deceases. Depending on who those lucky billionaires are you could fair really well or get completely screwed, just like with monarchies.

However even scarier thing is that in yet another century you could have people owning "petillionair" or 10^15 inflation adjusted dollars assuming they don't max out like in Moor's law due to upper ceiling on productivity of rest of the people. If exercised effectively by developing well disciplined army equipped with deadly weapons, this can actually bring back true monarchies and world conquerors with some rouge groups fighting against it. At this level of wealth, the desires won't be more wealth but more power. Hollywood was right all along :).

Yes of course to deal with aging you must tackle the many age related illnesses.

But I'm pointing out, with of the vast array of health related issues humanity faces, do venture capitalists care in particular about this one enough to put it in their investment hitlist?

Why, for example does YC care enough about aging to want to find it in particular, rather than say, well any other major field of human health research?

The answer is, "how can we spend our money to get more time on earth because after that it's worth nothing"?

Put another way "we'd like to live longer and we have the money if you can use it to work out how".

Look there's nothing wrong With this, it's human nature. Of course you use the means at your disposal to try to make life better, longer, healthier for yourself in any way. All I'm noting is that this thing about aging is something that the super rich have a particular focus on and that's why it's in this list.

If one of the VC who makes this list had a family member with a particular medical issue we'd likely see that here too as a desired funding area.

I suspect people are uncomfortable about this being pointed out because VCs like to project the idea that their work is to better everything and everyone, in Silicon Valley lingo to "make the world a better place", but this one is self serving, whilst being plausibly argued as being for the benefit of all humanity. And heck being self serving is OK too ... heck it's their money they can do with it whatever they want, no need to apologize for spending on yourself every now and then.
I got a lot of sarcastic arrogant messages back from the developers about the fixed bars over the years. I did some research but I have to check again. Some of them on their Linkedin profile use to work for media advertising corporations and as I dug I through I saw associations to Mindspark kind of things and as a technician I use to manually remove the dodgy browser toolbars that are associated with these aggressive advertising firms. Sort of see a pattern there.

I questioned them that I don't want these things stuck my screen constantly. All I want is to be able to close it without using Adblock, I showed them a good example, archive.org and they turn nasty, dodge the issue, insulted me further, like talking to me a like a dog and called Adblock harassment in itself and started moaning about it becoming evil and killing their revenue.

They ignored me when I showed them a thread I started on Adblock forums asking for help in blocking the Ebay basketbar and I clearly stated I don't use it to block adverts.

It appears that some of the developers who work for websites and implement there bars are overzealous and the type would say "I am overqualified for the job" and can do what I want and think of what the user/ guests want.
Then those people are pretty hard to contact!

This is the app that was instrumental in FB consolidating their monopoly on horizontal markets, using the data pickpocketed from users to analyze potential acquisition targets. We need to explore whether antitrust scrutiny should consider data hoarding as a factor.

I also wonder if this sleaziness is why we can't have ad-blocking faux-VPN apps on iOS anymore (see AdGuard, e.g.). FB weren't the only ones abusing users' trust, but there were legit apps that allowed one to selectively block any device connection (not just DNS lookups) without any data leakage -- all blocking done on-device. But no more as of fall 2017.

And don't say that saving up money now will get rid of the need to depend on future generations in retirement. You can't eat a 401k. Retirement is inherently dependent on the productivity of subsequent generations no matter how you move money around.
Secure Access to 100 AWS Accounts
Fair enough. As you can read, I am (gently?) pushing back against the narrative that all corporations are evil. :-)

I find I too have a knee jerk reaction to narrative arguments which seek to assert a generalization (as most of them do) against their enemy target. We are flooded with them these days pretty much everywhere we look.

I observe that a simple statement, "I give credit to companies that fire employees they discover have engaged in actions which violate their stated values.", is pretty standalone without narrative. And yet, it is contextualized by the reader into the narratives they either endorse or oppose.

And since narratives are crafted from a curated set of truths, things that would either disprove or dismiss the conclusions of a narrative are most vigorously opposed or pushed back upon.

It almost seems to me that the reality of a more nuanced and textured reality where many things are true, corporations can be both good and evil, and everything is evolving through experience and time, is the most frightening place of all.

I don't know if zoos are the right way. They seem to make people think that wild animals sit around the whole day in tight spaces and play with beach balls. Or people may think that Orcas have nothing better to do than interacting with humans. I think more can be done with documentaries or making wild places more accessible. I think Yellowstone is a good example for people learning how nature can look.
