The F-14 dev actually started in late '66, and the F-14 didn't enter IOC until 74, so 8 years. F-15 had a 9 year development process, as did the F-16. F-22 took 24 years. The F-14 was also very rushed, and a lot of it's capabilities languished until new engines replace the TF-30 (which it inherited from the TFX project).

I'm not saying that is has to take 20 years for a new fighter, I'm saying it will. The aerospace community has consolidated incredibly since Grumman was cranking out the Tomcat. You have basically two US firms capable of building fighters now, compared to the 7-8 that existed in 1970. Add in the screwed up Pentagon procurement process, and 20 years looks optimistic.

It's not really fair to compare SpaceX since they don't have the Pentagon and Congress breathing down their necks to create jobs in 50 states.
Google Maps to Drivers: Turn Right at the Burger King
Individuals feel ignored, even when several million form a group, because often the groups are still very small relative to the whole. Plus those groups are very temporary. Meanwhile we have government and corporations that form long lived groups. This is the natural result of centralization I think. Like an ant colony. Want more voice? Move to a country with a tiny population. You gain a much larger voice, but you also give up things.
I base my assertion on sentiments he has expressed, one if which was quoted in the Bloomberg article:

>The 1920s was the last time one could feel “genuinely optimistic” about American democracy, he said; since then, “the vast increase in welfare beneficiaries and the extension of the franchise to women—two constituencies that are notoriously tough for libertarians—have rendered the notion of ‘capitalist democracy’ into an oxymoron.”
Seeing that this has nothing to do with tools where "text acts as an universal interface/medium", no.

> Everybody thinks UBI is a great idea

Irrespective of anyone's personal opinion, I'm absolutely sure it's not everybody. And there are valid reasons for this - but every opponent also imagines something different, just as proponents do.
Let's say I'm law enforcement and I have some information obtained in a way which wouldn't stand up even in the most farcical of courtrooms.

What I can do is use surveillance tools to find a way to effectively entrap you, to gather evidence. Think of it like a tip-off that you're not allowed to have.

Palantir specialises in providing tools to analyze and aggregate big data. If law enforcement has an interest in it, it's probably for dragnet-style surveillance. The problem is that the 4th amendment means there must be reasonable suspicion before the investigation can begin.

Most dragnet-style surveillance is incompatible with the 4th amendment. So law enforcement has to construct a reason for investigating the case that they should never have been investigating.
Modern jets are actually pretty easy to fly, as long as nothing goes wrong. To the point that when Mythbusters tested that “guiding a passenger through landing the plane when the pilots die” myth, they interviewed ATC who said something along the lines of “that would never happen, but if it did it’s like 2 buttons to engage the landing autopilot and we could easily do it over the radio.” Apparently some subset of flight attendants are trained on basic flight ops for this kind of situation.

When things do go wrong, you still need a pilot experienced in the way that aircraft works or non-problems can turn into a catastrophe. AF447 was the latest reminder of that... so you are right that the amount of skill required is greater.
I built Dependabot to automate keeping dependencies up-to-date / responding to security vulnerabilities at GoCardless. Spun it out into its own business. https://dependabot.com

My best automating stuff story, though, is automating complaint letters to UK banks. We were pushing the limits of what the UK's Direct Debit system can handle, and as a result were seeing all the edge cases where banks got it wrong. One common one was banks accidentally charging back a payment twice, and each bank had their own, totally bespoke complaints procedure for getting in touch when that happened.

A couple of engineers and me spent a couple of days integrating with Lob and a fax provider whose name I forget to automatically write complaint letters every time the banks screwed up. Some of these were being sent to named individuals for all Direct Debit complaints related to RBS, for example.

Needless to say, the banks fixed the problems that were causing us to need to complain soon enough. :-)
Tesla’s Computer Vision Master Plan
There is no real democracy and its weird how people can think there is. People are not supposed to have the power to actually change things, and probably for good reason. How much time are we putting into really knowing the issues and researching solutions?

Most people pick candidates based on how well they do in debates or based purely on superficial qualities. Oh look, Obama looks stunning today, let's vote for him. Or look, Hillary is a woman, let's vote for her. The amount of effort on this is zero, which is also exactly what we actually want.

The system also makes sure no real suitable candidates have a chance. They need to be rich, first of all. Second, they need media support (media is owned by a handful of people, so they decide who gets to look good and who doesn't). Third, there are powerful people at the top who can make people catch a bullet (Reagan, Martin Luther King, etc). Fourth, there is actually a real illuminati group of people who already decides the direction of the world and what is needed to keep people distracted.
Define "give" and "don't need it" :) I think UBI necessarily implies a tax raise. If you give a rich person $1000 in UBI and raise their effective tax bill by $3000, are you actually giving them money?
People have been aware of the basic facts for a while, but not its prevalence or significance. Also, nobody is as zealous as a new convert.

You're incorrect about what a democracy and a republic are. The US is both.

A republic is a system where each head of state is chosen by the people in some form, not necessarily by voting (res - of, publica - public). Contrast with Monarchy.

A Democracy is a system where the goverment's decision process is based on the population that it serves (demo - the people as in "demographics", cratia - to govern), this is determined by voting so decisions can be made according to the majority. In the particular case of modern democracies, because of the unyieldiness of having the whole population vote on every measure, we use what's called a representative democracy, where we choose someone to represent via voting us when deciding something. Contrast with dictatorship.

> Aske Mottelson, one of the paper's authors, says the algorithm's ability to detect lies is comparable to that of a polygraph.

So in other words: useless.

> However, it has its limits and shouldn't be used in courtrooms or other high-stakes environments, he said.

Good thinking. Anxious people (innocent people are often anxious, I'd say) would most likely fail at the test.

Come on, you can't detect lies based on physiological indices such as blood pressure, pulse, respiration, and skin conductivity. Those are unreliable, and not proof or evidence of anything.

"Polygraphs measure arousal, which can be affected by anxiety, anxiety disorders such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), nervousness, fear, confusion, hypoglycemia, psychosis, depression, substance induced states (nicotine, stimulants), substance withdrawal state (alcohol withdrawal) or other emotions; polygraphs do not measure "lies". A polygraph cannot differentiate anxiety caused by dishonesty and anxiety caused by something else."
It's important to remember that Red Flag etc aren't designed to validate one platform against another, but to give a holistic exercise. There are a wide array of scenarios performed at RF, where different sides have different advantages. I take claims from Cope India, RF, etc etc with a grain of salt.

However, despite the media continually looking for fodder for "military waste," the consensus I've heard is that the F-35 dominates 4th gen fighters. How it will fair against the likes of the J-20/J-31/Su-57 remains to be seen. All of them have issues; and it's not as if the fights will be 1v1.

The entire reason that AMD hardware isn't considered a viable alternative to NVIDIA is that it doesn't run CUDA, which is going to be true of these custom chips too.

It depends on what the starting point is. In Denmark every single person have tax deduction. For persons over 18 that is currently 46.000 DKK. In addition there is a host of other deductions and benefits for various situations. UBI would replace some/many of those, so it would in essence be a tax reform. It still doesn't capture the majority of economic activity the state is involved in, but it would make a lot of things significantly simpler.

Becuase you first have to take the money from those who earned it.
>2/ Regardless of what version of UBI you personally support, it is probably not a good idea to give money to those who don't need it.

Wrong. The system doesn't work if you don't give people to money who don't need it: the administrative requirements of assessing who and who doesn't need it, and then policing all this, is just too high. This is the reason UBI was invented in the first place!

It's very simple: you give the same money to everyone, even if they're a billionaire. To make up for this, you raise the taxes a commensurate amount on the people who don't need it (and more for the really rich people, because the idea is wealth redistribution). So someone making $100k, for instance, obviously doesn't need a handout, so you raise their taxes that same amount so they're paying back in taxes what they're getting from the UBI, and netting zero. It's much easier to do this than to have thousands of government workers auditing everyone to make sure they aren't "cheating" by receiving money they're not qualified for, which is what we do with current welfare schemes.

>Sooner or later people will realize that what they really want is tax/benefit reform

No, tax reform doesn't do anything to reduce the administrative burden of current welfare systems. UBI does. Less money you pay out for unnecessary government office workers is more money you can end up giving to people in need, and society will be better off with those government workers finding more productive professions which might actually generate more wealth and taxable income, instead of just being a drain on taxpayers.

If the data was sourced from public information that the target willingly posted online, does law enforcement even need to use parallel construction? Couldn’t they use the palantir data to obtain a warrant for more thorough searches?

I too have a problem with business models that invade our privacy. But I think it’s a bit disingenuous to conflate “private information” with information that you voluntarily posted on the internet.

Whatever happened to educating people that what they post on the internet is permanent? Dragnets over public data are a symptom of the real problem, which is lack of user education and understanding of what data they generate and share.

> They love to write about scandals and problems.

They particularly love to write about scandals and problems among their rivals. That's the real change here: journalists and bloggers have gone from thinking of Facebook (and other social media) as potential allies to thinking of them as rivals. Negativity sells, as you say, but negativity that reinforces one's view of rivals as evil is especially appealing. People whose own Google Ads revenue is declining because the eyeballs are elsewhere are very highly motivated, both consciously and unconsciously, to write about why those eyeballs are elsewhere when they clearly shouldn't be.
Automation was quite a difficult task for us at first since we had all these legacy projects that the effort to automate them wasn't worth it.

So what we did, was on the new projects we started using DeployBot, which was very nice especially for the development team. Then we started to see what can we do on the legacy projects and once we have more time from other projects we tackle one older project at a time where we automate at least parts of it.

It can be a very annoying process especially if you have people in your team who where used at a certain style of the process, but I think in the long run it was worth it.

That's because, for some strange reason, you're confusing UBI with some idealized form of communism.

UBI is Universal Basic Income. The keyword here is "basic". If you sit on your ass and collect UBI, you should receive enough money to let you live in a crappy apartment with roommates, and get some crappy food to eat at the local crappy grocery store. Do you want to live in a crappy apartment with roommates, and not be able to afford to eat at a nice restaurant? Me neither. If you want extra luxuries, you have to work more, to make more money.
