Why not both? Sedentary lifestyle will promote obesity, while construction work will promote good shape to the degree you're actually doing manual labor (as opposed to management, office jobs or just driving heavy machinery). But good luck getting an appearance-based job if you're in a bad shape. Even if it's not frequently admitted, for some jobs, good looks are required qualifications.

Here are some things I can think of off the top of my head that Jobs had a hand in during his career:

- Created the personal computer industry (Apple Inc)

- Revolutionized the personal computer industry (Macintosh)

- Revolutionized film animation (Pixar)

- Shifted the electronic device industry to minimalist industrial design (iPod)

- Changed the entire music industry's distribution model (iTunes)

- Completely shifted the paradigm of a cellular phone and arguably began the adoption of the mobile internet (iPhone)

There are several other things people may consider visionary (candy colored iMac, getting rid of floppy drives, OSX, Newton, stuff at NeXT, tech advertising with the 1984 & Think Different campaigns, etc). I'm not even including things like the iPad, Apple Watch, Apple TV, health metrics, etc which Jobs may have been working on before his death. Clearly Jobs had lots of help along the way and is not singularly responsible for each of these things - but he's the one who oversaw and, in many cases, drove the vision.

I'm no Apple fanboy and Jobs had a very dark side to his particular brand of genius, but I find it incredibly disingenuous to dismiss the impact that Jobs had on Apple and the industry in general. Tim Cook is a very solid Tech CEO, maybe even a great operational leader, but he is not a visionary leader and my concern is that Apple lost a fundamental element with the passing of Jobs.

Interesting: are you saying that people with Type 2 that progressively get "worse", will eventually become Type 1 diabetics for the exact same reason?

Forgive my asking again. I am a Type 1 diabetic, since age 7. I know that it is an autoimmune disorder. I find that (as seems to be the case with the original article), people tend to blur T1 and T2, and the causes/effects/treatments for each, and it can be mildly infuriating...
Hi, yes it does appear possible to not only increase the mining capacity, but that doing so will actually bring the price down to around $10-$12/ton. To do the total sequestration of anthropogenic (human-caused) CO2 release per year with olivine, it would require approx ~7km^3 of rock (23 gigatons or billion tons). This is compared to the ~10km^3 of oil equivalents we retrieve from the earth each year. And the ~20 gt of construction minerals mined each year. There are individual mines (for other types of materials) that have excavated volumes of greater than ~25 km^3.

To bring the planets atmospheric CO2 concentrations back to pre-industrial levels would likely require around 30-50 new olivine mines globally. The good news though is that olivine is extremely common, making up 80% of the mantle. Almost every country has olivine/dunite deposits, and so countries with cheap labor and lack of other viable export commodities would be ideal places to open mines, which would also help create jobs for them (and ones that actually help the planet).

> Both of these would ensure that we can get smart and talented individuals from outside the US and would drastically improve the ability for the US to compete while continuing to provide broad-based wage increases.

As an immigrant, I'm all for better and easier immigration system. As a parent of an 11 year old, I can tell you that what your country really needs is not more smart and talented immigrants, but better education.

When I was brought to work here on H-1B visa, I couldn't understand why the US would need so many immigrant software developers. Now that I've had 5 years to see what your schools are teaching kids, this is no longer a mystery to me. Your education is appalling and is the main reason why I'm planing to leave the country eventually.
Of course, what's true of individuals, is true of societies, too. Getting rich quick (particularly without effort) brings out the worst. Look a Saudi funding for 911 and much other mischief they've funded, for example.

But this may be true of Western nations in general as wealth accelerates; and the increasing Gini coefficient in the U.S. may be just one more sad symptom of too much wealth, not too little. The U.S. won the techprogress lottery, and doing so seems only to have amped up political craziness, drug use and inequality.
I think it's hilariously ironic that most of the comments here are along the lines of "well, people generally interpret political correctness as 'things I don't like', so of course they think it's a problem". Sounds an awful lot like the Progressive Activists mentioned in the study. It's not us that's out of touch, it must be the majority of Americans!

The purpose of the H1B program is to fulfill skilled labor demand where local labor is unable to fill it.

The purpose is not to give visas to the wealthiest bidder in the wealthiest locations and industries.

Prevailing wage requirement already solves the problem of wage velocity, so this is just creating more issues without solving any.

It's the spirit of the action. Publishing the source on github ought to be OK in theory if it isn't implemented poorly but it turns out that it is in fact implemented in a deliberately weak fashion.

Knowing that his customers privacy was on the line, knowing that there was no due process, knowing that revealing the source would help the NSA violate his customers privacy, not needing any explanation or legal paperwork, not even truly knowing if the person on the other end of the line actually was the NSA, not a private citizen trying to violate the privacy of another citizen he decided to comply without question.

Ticking bomb scenarios that can be solved by cracking encryption are so rare I'm not aware of any existing in history.

The right answer was to request a court order and wait. If it was truly a matter of national security they can also wake up the judge in the middle of the night and have an officer of the court serve it.

Sorry, but this doesn't scan. "The concerns of rural communities" are overrepresented in American politics. Twenty percent of the population is represented by the Senate majority and are able to, at minimum, gridlock the American system of government (and, at maximum--well, quite a lot, given SCOTUS and what we've seen over the last few months).

This is, of course, an intentional behavior of our system of government. You can even make an argument that it's a positive one. (I would disagree.) It is not, however, "democratic", nor does it point at some kind of underrepresentation.
Yeah well rural Europe is a lot of Europe, but 30k in a capital where the 30k jobs are give you is just mediocre.

Philip Wadler provides an in depth discussion on the Curry–Howard correspondence [0] in his paper Propositions as Types [1], and he has given several talks under the same name that are on YouTube.

The talk Prof Wadler gave at Strange Loop is the most cited, but the talk he gave at Stanford [2] is the most interesting because Carl Hewitt was in the audience and was challenging him on the merits and long-term viability of functional programming in general vs Hewitt's Actor Model [3] for scalable concurrent computing.

Well, it is a little bit more complicated than that.

I am sure that any CS major couos write fizz buzz, on their computer, for the purpose of their homework assignment or whatever.

Whether or not they can do the same thing, in 15 minutes, on a whiteboard in front of someone is a different story.

The moral of this story is that writing code, on a blank slate, while having to have all the syntax memorized, and having everything conpile without having access to a compiler, is a real skill that many people haven't even attempted to do.
Possibly, though I get the feeling yards are just too complex to design a universal tool for. Some lawns have multiple disconnected patches, how would the device travel across? If you leave a hose across the lawn, hopefully it wouldn't run it over. The device would have to be "off road" capable with a strong motor for driving if it wants to handle any rough or uneven terrain. Likewise, I imagine the software works better for a small device, which would be a challenge as well, for the features it would require. I think this tool would be useful for single-patch, level, mildly-complex designed yards that are already partially maintained, and that's about it. Would you carry the device from front yard to back when it needs to be done? At that rate, you might just mow it manually.

There are companies that have been doing this for a while. I think you are slightly overestimating the capabilities of the technology, but largely overestimating the demand for this stuff over the way things are traditionally designed/built/inspected. It's not a killer use case that is forcing architecture/design/manufacturing firms to adopt the tech or die...it's currently still in gimmick stage, but is getting better slowly but surely

> Getting a surprise $100M is different from managing your portfolio.

It's really not that different. All of the advice out there concerning how to prudently manage a portfolio of $100K applies pretty well to $100M. Going up to the $100M opens up some additional options (private equity, hedge funds, venture capital, real estate) and involves some additional taxes (estate/gift taxes), but you could do a lot worse with your $100M than sticking 60% in low cost equity index funds and 40% in low cost bond index funds and ignoring alternatives and tax optimization.

Hi! You are correct in how common it is. We will be utilizing forsterite (MgSi4O2), the magnesium-rich form of olivine. We are looking to mine large dunite massifs as they are more than 90% olivine and close to the surface. And you are also correct in that these type of deposits are usually found at the base of the ophiolite sequences. :)
