Privacy is a means to an end.

That end is peace-of-mind.

People who have been damaged by random acts of crime may very well find more peace-of-mind sacrificing a bit of privacy to not have those acts repeated on their persons.

Uber basically makes a navigation app and has a higher valuation (not on the public market) than any of those companies. Why couldn't a car manufacturer have greater market value than another manufacturer even if they sell fewer cars?

Here's a "compressed" summary:

1) Listen more than talk. Take notes and ponder for later meetings.

2) Meetings are not bad things if done right.

3) Don't be afraid to delegate; resist instinct to micromanage left over from co's smaller days.

4) Don't let big problems fester, confront them directly.

5) Recognize your weaknesses & mistakes, admit to them, apologize freely, and try to constantly improve. We are all imperfect.

6) It can be brutal and lonely at the top, don't take it personally. Get a therapist if you need to, and socialize with other CEO's to not feel alone.

7) Don't let your ego and emotion rule you.

If it’s just a container-format, bragging about “high efficiency” sounds pretty rich.

You are also forgetting Tesla's eventual ride sharing platform. Uber's valuation is currently higher than Tesla's. I don't know if Tesla is any closer to self driving taxis than Uber, but their is at least some potential there.

Tesla's stock is certainly overvalued compared with their current financials and current competitors. However I wouldn't be surprised if 20 years down the line we think comparing Tesla to Ford was like comparing Netflix's mailing DVDs business to Blockbuster. That potential is what you are paying for when you purchase Tesla stock.

the issue isn't that the police should not know about specific criminals, but when police overstep their authority and defy their own rules/laws in order to profile (sometimes racially) community members who have not been charged of crimes.

for a specific case, I can point to Portland's own suspected gang member list: http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2017/09/portlan...

thankfully, it was required to be purged 2 years ago.

unfortunately, that didn't stop them, and an audit found that the same department was ignoring the rules and laws, and keeping an additional secret list to profile community members: http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2018/03/police_...

these are not necessarily criminals, and it is inappropriate for police to be using automated surveillance to track or monitor them.

We need a good catchy term for the fallacy that "the media is reporting on X but not reporting at all about Y!".

This is mostly confirmation bias since no one individual has the bandwidth or resources to look at every single story produced on every single topic on a single day. I tend to see people complain "this tragedy happened today and I don't see it being reported by the news!", implying that the media has something to hide or they value certain groups of people over others, but this is not a claim worth its salt.

There are many reason, both from the organization's standpoint and from the individual's standpoint, why this claim isn't true. It's a weak argument that only serves the purpose of distracting from topics at hand.

There were absolutely friends -- to the point that Larry would say "my best friend Steve" almost as if it were one word. This left me with two questions, both essentially mean-spirited: (1) Could "only" be substituted for "best"? And (2) Did Steve ever say "my best friend Larry"?

> The Unification algorithm at the heart of Prolog (I'm not an expert!) is pretty much what your brain does when you solve logical puzzles and problems.

What makes you think that? I don't think we have a clear idea of what the brain does when doing "intelligent" things, but syntactic unification is very probably not it. For whatever it's worth, the CLP(FD) stuff you posted isn't "just" unification, it needs additional powerful constraint solving algorithms behind it to work as well as it does.

All that unification does is solve simple equations between terms without knowing anything about what is going on:

?- f(X, b) = f(g(a), Y). % query
X = g(a), % solution
Y = b.

This is nice, but it's not exactly intelligence.

Yay for Prolog enthusiasm! I like calling it "magical" too. But let's not go overboard with grand AI claims.

Read good books and observe closely. Also, read up some popular blogs. This will hopefully serve as a good input.

Further, read up popular questions on Stack Overflow within your area of competence and offer your perspective. This will do two things a)- give you confidence that you're writing something for which audience exists b)- improve your understanding of issues as well as you write.

Please take this with a grain of salt since I'm not a good writer myself nor have a popular blog :)
The Presidency is a labor supply problem. No sane person would want that job.
Good analysis.

Tesla's market value is based on the combination of the brand value and the 'skateboard' that is technically far ahead of others.

Munro Associates did completely Model 3 teardown and report for some customer. Munro said in a interview that had Tesla outsourced the manufacture and design of of the car minus the scateboard to a company like Magna they would have hit every target and even Toyota would be crapping their pants now. If the traditional mechanical parts of the car would have been even decent, Tesla would have mopped the floor with everybody.

If Tesla gets into money troubles, car companies are willing to pay a big chunk of money to get the brand and skateboard and build their own car around it.

Toyota has over 53.84B	in cash and short term investments, GM has 21.37B.
Either one can buy Tesla (the brand and the skateboard) Musk fumbles. Tesla price has air in it, but the brand has value even if Musk is gone.

EFF's Fair Use Petition to the Copyright Office
I don't think there's a clear line either. Even the Turing Test is notional - a conversation with a high schooler is going to be easier to fake than a conversation with an English professor.

I can imagine in the future there will be some kind of approximate conversational AI rating analogous to Flesch-Kincaid for text.

But I left a problem off my list, which is that we unconsciously demand AI should be better than average human performance.

If you monitor your conversations with people, you'll find there are regular misses where one person either mishears words, doesn't understand what's said, or misinterprets a subtext.

We cut human conversations a lot of slack. We're used to thinking of humans as independent agents, and there are social conventions about asking for more information and admitting - or sometimes denying - mistakes.

But there's an unconscious expectation that AI should operate at a better-than-human level before it's considered reliable.

We're more likely to think "Stupid machine!" if something isn't understood than we would with a human. So AI will have to cross the Uncanny Turning Valley before we really trust it. And because we're dealing with automated interpretations of human agency, errors will be harder to forgive.

You can already see this with driverless cars, where any accident is considered a failure. Even though statistically an AI may be much safer than the average human, it's not considered good enough unless it can deal with situations that an average human would have no hope of dealing with.
Abakan Range is rather difficult place to live which is why they where left alone and the family was not from a culture of nomads. Yet, Agafia made it to 70 and is still alive.

That suggests it's far more viable than you might think. It's just more attractive places to live currently have people living there. Opportunity's for solitude where far greater when global population was lower, but it's unlikely for such things to enter written history.

The author never dismisses that lonely people are out there.

He is specifically attacking the claim that loneliness is a new and quickly accelerating trend.

even the best numbers we have on these phenomena are problematic and incomplete
Sure but he does not say this. He says "In the 1980s, 20 percent of Americans said they were often lonely. Now it’s 40 percent. "

Don't think that communication and discussion at a national levels becomes more difficult when people can just make up any numbers they want to support their point, and never have to correct them?

Same principle, different implementation, takes advantage of special string literal properties to achieve impressive speeds.
You are mixing two things up - figuring out the time an event happened and trusting a timestamp that someone attached to an event. Within a single inertial reference frame there is a canonical way to order events, namely by the time coordinate in that reference frame which is the same everywhere. And for all practical purposes of building a distributed system on Earth, Earth is an internal reference frame. Ensuring that nobody cheats when assigning time stamps to events is an entirely different problem. As said, hand an atomic clock to everyone and you can know the order of any two events, relativity plays no role. Making sure that nobody can or will cheat will require some more effort, but again relativity plays no role.

Not op, so I don't know his/her struggle. My struggle comes maybe from the syntax I'm not used to, but also it always feels like you have to keep the whole message-graph in mind to understand which message comes from where and goes where and needs to contain which data and while that type system helps, it feels like it also makes it more difficult. You cannot just run it and see how far you come, you're code just won't compile. I know, this is a good thing for bug free production code, but exploration is harder (at least for me).

Also the types become really complicated after a while since you wrap everything in some kind of message type. So your parent message contains a child message, containing some data that needs to get passed to the next view. So errors become less readable or helpful. Or I'm doing something wrong, which could very well be because I'm a bloody beginner.

"why not tax vehicles based on actual road usage, and their size and weight?"

Because this relies on either odometer readings, which, at least here in the US, you wouldn't be able to say how many miles were driven in one state vs the next. Or it would rely on tracking the location of the vehicle, which is downright creepy and sets off all kinds of alarm bells in people.

It's perfectly possible to have proprietary software -- for a while. But much like patents expire, the advantage of being first to market also expires. If you want to keep your proprietary stack relevant, then at some point you have to open it up. To keep earning income in the software industry you have to keep innovating, and you have to provide the best support.

Sometimes it's best to start open source.

Open source is a business tool. It's not always the right tool, but in the long run it always is just because if you don't make your software open, then your competition will.

And I think a lot of us would be investors if their market cap were ~8 billion rather than ~50 billion. For a number of people who care about the electrification of vehicles, watching Elon angrily bite a short sellers who are skeptical really depresses us.

Most of Tesla's wounds are self inflicted. They made an egregious decision to purchase Solar City and subsume all of it's debt, despite neither company being cash flow positive. They seem to lack concentration in what is the most important part of their business: creating a production line for electric vehicles; throwing up a smoke screen of distractions for other things that might work in the future (self driving cars, trucks).

They also haven't given any realistic plans and have repeatedly exaggerated what they can accomplish.

Sure, the car business is brutal to enter into, which is why there hasn't been a new car company decades, but there is also shooting yourself in the foot.
The day I realized that just because people are talking about it, doesn't mean anything's meaningfully changed, is the day I learned how to discern signal from noise in society's whingings.
That quote actually seems quite unfair to me. If "most" cars are to be electric in 10 years, and "most" of those are to be made by Tesla, then Tesla would have captured more than a quarter of the world's auto sales, and thus should be worth 25% as much as the entire auto industry. Less some appropriate discount rate, but plus the value of any suppliers that Tesla's greater degree of vertical integration has taken out of their supply chain, and plus the value of any non-automotive profits they make (grid storage etc.).

If one truly believes that Tesla will capture 1/4 of the world's automotive market as well as find success in non-automotive applications, then the current stock price is woefully undervalued. To merely believe that their current price is justified requires much less bullishness than that.
