I too look forward to seeing the autopsy report, but I am not too hopeful that this was just a coincidence.

Having an otherwise healthy person perform high-risk experiments on his own body and then drop dead before hitting 30 doesn't leave a whole lot to the imagination.

Obviously, the autopsy will tell us everything we need to know, but let's not pretend that his biohacking didn't play a role in his demise, because it seems highly likely that it did.
I've tried similar tools, and found fine point tweezers are the best. Some of these buggers get so dug in, they don't fit well between the sharp edges.

> Google been able to trick people into believing that this is 'effective targeted advertising'?

Because there was nothing before Google (or if there was it was even worse shit than what G was peddling).

And the game is still that. G doesn't have to do much, just beat/buy the next one.

And that's how FB got them, sort of blindsided them by that one trick, Sergei and Larry now hate them! You won't believe which one! Google lost the walled garden social network game. Users spend a lot of time with other users instead with content directly, so the network effect dominated.

Also, you're probably not the lowest common denominator, you're not the target audience for the usual ads.
No. With MQTT, the client device makes a connection to some external MQTT server-- AWS, GCP, and Azure all have IoT bridges that speak MQTT.

There's often an equivalent service over HTTP/1.1, where devices occasionally poll a remote endpoint for commands and to update state-- but without the persistent connection, you can't do realtime commands.

Hey sorry to be a cynical brat, but does this imply that it's just another Internet-of-Sting like the Roomba-style robot from Xiaomi (a backdoor mapping agent)? As it costs like 1000 USD, it better not pull that kind of bullshit.

But how do I know? Trust is a huge factor here, and what Sony shows here doesn't impress me a bit. The page does not say anything about data and privacy protection. If Sony does not directly do it, how does Sony vet the third party apps to make sure third party apps don't pull that kind of bullshit?

The last thing I want to hear is to get a blackmail from a $1000 robotic dog, you know. "Last Tuesday, you listened to a pirated CD from Sony. Your dog has accidentally used that CD for a toy while you're busy making love with the housemaid."

It does, in the sense that money circulates faster. This is known as the velocity of money, and increasing the velocity of money does cause inflation.
I agree that hypocrisy doesn't refute their argument but it does demonstrate that the author themselves either doesn't believe what they're writing or they have some other unknown reason for being hypocritical.

Seeing as no other reason was expressed in the article, I am comfortable taking the hypocrisy as a sign that the they don't believe what they're writing. In my experience, this usually means they are trying to sell me something.
Coin Center isn't an unbiased source, but they do have the advantage of actually being lawyers: https://coincenter.org/entry/no-ether-is-not-a-security

Full disclosure: I am also a lawyer, and I work in markets trading at a bank. That's not an endorsement of Coin Center's conclusions, but it's my informed opinion their arguments are sounder than the idle speculation of the author.

If there's anything that Ether is similar to, it's a currencies (my area), collectibles, or commodities (adjacent to my area). There's no underlying business that's being invested in or paying dividends to you. It's 100% a speculation on appreciation.

I'll give you an example. Say Vitalik owned a oil exploration company, and he also owned oil rights to a big patch of oil in Texas somewhere. Instead of selling shares in his company to raise money, he pre-sells the oil. "You give me money for the oil, and I'll go dig it up for you."

You don't own shares in his company. You own oil. Oil isn't a security.
I love Space X, but this was my first thought when intra-planetary flight was announced. You save a lot of flight time, but if it’s gonna take the same or more preflight time, the savings are vastly diminished.

I would love it if someone (countries) starting optimizing for full travel time. But the incentives are not there. Airports are shopping malls. Security ensures you have to buy more liquids in the mall.

Imagine: 20min train from King’s Cross / Union Station to the heart of the airport, 10 min travel to gate, 5 minut security, 15min boarding.

Equally futuristic: Plane tickets working like train tickets. Buy a flight from LA to SF. Show up (almost) any time. Take the first available. Of course optimized via estimated arrival times and demand calculations.
Yeah, I really miss this. It doesn't help that I moved across the country in my early 20s and never developed any decent friendships since then.

My brother recently moved into a new neighborhood. His 9 year old daughter/my niece made a friend with a kid down the street (3 or 4 houses down)

My brother wouldn't let her go visit them before he got her a GPS tracking smartwatch with LTE for kids.

No one willingly creates a do-nothing job, and people are not hired to be useless. In the rare cases where this DOES happen, there's usually an ulterior motive such as vanity.

What does happen with great regularity is that do-nothing jobs evolve: a capable person is hired to do a productive thing, the need for the thing is obviated, but no one fires the person. This is an emergent condition based on limited information: in a large organization it's impossible to know what everyone is doing, and everyone was hired to do something useful at some point, so the default strategy is to assume usefulness. In the case where a person's work is no longer useful, there is no reason for the employee to acknowledge this fact, and so the do-nothing job often continues (paired with powerful self-delusion).

So how do you get one of these jobs? You don't. They just kind of grow up around you. However, the correct response in this situation is to evolve your role or quit. If you don't and "coast", then you may find yourself unemployable later when the job is (belatedly) eliminated.
Uh-huh. You're delivering seat prices 1/4 of Concorde and halving passenger capacity. So that's about an order-of-magnitude cost reduction through the power of...magic, I guess?
> but I think, on an organisational level, they are the exact opposite

No contradiction there, the competition comes from the other country. It's the same in companies competing domestically too. Within the company, resources are shared and divided in a top-down approach, everyone working to a common goal, using the company's funds to do so. Externally, companies compete with other companies.

I once heard the saying that companies are communistic internally and capitalistic externally.

This pattern seems to stem or be consistent with how humans cooperate and compete, according to Realistic Conflict Theory: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Realistic_conflict_theory

---

That said, companies competing have overall done a lot less harm than nations competing. At least companies can't declare war on each other, collect taxes, or execute/incarcerate people.

I have problems with time and with space. I got into dance and it was hard because "random packet latency" in my senses messed with my ability to learn and keep a beat. However through the help of dance partners tapping out the beat on my shoulder, and years of practice, I was able to reduce that "sensory latency jitter". I can't say for sure if it helped my spatial sense, but now that I look back, it probably did. I have always understood that, for me, the problems were linked, because you cannot do dead reckoning without an accurate clock.
I concur, and photo evidence backs this up:

I think state of the art understanding is that some of the communicable disease can be caught in under 24 hours now, 48 hours is way too optimistic.

>Give fishing rod, not a fish.

I know you're speaking pretty abstractly, but let me run with it for a bit to illustrate the case for basic income:

Better yet, is give money and let the person decide whether to buy a fishing rod or a fish. Which one is better depends on a lot of uncertain and hard to observe (for an outsider) factors like:

* how badly an immediate fish is needed

* how viable is it for the person to learn to fish?

* how useful a fishing rod would be given the environment (people close to a river that has lots of fish probably have more use for a fishing rod)

* what the opportunity cost of a person's time is (if they have another good alternative job then they would logically prefer the fish as supplementary income rather than a fishing rod which must replace their old job)
You are advocating perfection while op is making the best out of the dealt cards. We need both approaches as a society, but one should not nag the other.
Also depends on range. If a supersonic flight makes, say, London or JFK - Sydney doable, then you've just shaved a lot of time off with connections as well.

I would agree that Indian startups haven't done something remarkably good technically till now. One reason can be that a lot of them didn't get to grow in isolation using government protection from foreign enterprises and resources. So they were competing against established players with a lot of experience compared to them. Initially, most of the people who used Internet in India had some knowledge of English, so it became very easy for US based companies to penetrate the market as they could mostly launch the same products without much customization.

Highly debatable and depends on which company you are hiring for. Good candidates are going to apply in companies they consider to be good. Snapdeal wasn't known for its good engineering, work culture or hiring bar. I don't know which startup the YC commenter interviewed for.

> The root problem with this aircraft is that people prefer cheaper flights over faster flights.

I don't think this can be generalized to 100% of the market. There's probably a good percrnt of the personal travel market that would gladly pay more for a non stop flight than save a few bucks with a stop or two. Then buisness travelers whose company pays for their flights will probably not mind the small cost difference for saving of time.
not new, wasn't this from november 2017?
I see a lot of child comments using "spatial" to refer to multiple distinct concepts: 1) coordination and movement in space, 2) visuospatial skills (i.e. intuition for 2D and 3D geometry), and 3) navigation. While many tasks make use of multiple of these capabilities simultaneously, there are clear behavioral and neuroanatomical dissociations between them (thought slightly less so between 1 and 2).

Coordination of movement in space (for example something like grasping an object) is more dependent on parietal cortex & the dorsal visual stream (the so-called "where" pathway), and the cerebellum.

"Visuospatial skill", as typified by tasks like mental object rotation, is more ascribable to temporal cortex & the ventral visual stream (the so-called "what" pathway, responsible for object recognition). However, it often requires both ventral and dorsal visual cortex.

Navigation is hippocampus-dependent. However, the hippocampus is not a "GPS". I cannot emphasize this strongly enough. It is a hub for integrating and associating disparate information from across the brain in order to form representations of and the relationships between behaviorally-relevant states. This explains why the hippocampus is also involved in "navigating" abstract state spaces, for example turn-based game states [0] or auditory frequency [1], when they're behaviorally relevant. It gets analogized as a GPS because 1) most of the research involves spatial tasks, so space is the behaviorally-relevant dimension, 2) a certain Nobel Prize winner does not feel the need to update his theory, and 3) "Hippocampus = GPS" is too sexy and intuitive of an analogy, especially for the lay press.

The idea of the hippocampus as an "associative engine" also helps unify its seemingly disparate roles in "navigation" and memory when you consider that a memory is just information from disparate brain areas that's been associated via temporal correlation because of its behavioral relevance. It also explains why researchers observe "place cells" and "time cells" and "head direction cels" and "eye position cells": because these variables are behaviorally relevant (i.e. important for maximizing reward) in the task the animal is performing.

Then sound is space that you can hear.

Both are interesting ways of framing space and the senses, but I'm not sure what you mean by "only". To reduce space to "only noise", in my understanding of your statement, is to imply that it is something extraneous, something to be ignored, or at least given less significance, instead of it being actual, existent, a fundamental aspect of reality that we can describe in useful ways. Either way is interesting imo.

> I haven't waited in a security line at an airport for more than 30 minutes in years. When lines get long they drop the security theater and start letting people through very quickly. I imagine people who are willing to pay for SST would also pay the troll toll and spend comparatively very little time in security lines.

I fly very frequently, and JFK is (unfortunately) my home airport.

For all my complaints about how awful security at JFK is, it's relatively fast. With pre-check, it's always under ten minutes from the moment I step in line to the moment I have my bags in hand on the other side.

Without pre-check, it is slower, but nothing close to 30 minutes, unless you get pulled aside for secondary and/or detained (at which point there's no predicting how long things will take).

For what it's worth, security at JFK tends to be a bit slower than other US airports that have pre-check, but still noticeably faster than most other airports that I've been to globally in the last few years.
