Firefox on Android has a notable scrolling delay which drives me nuts. iOS guarantees that the point where your finger first makes contact remains under that finger as you scroll. Most good Android apps can deliver on this promise 99%, but for some reason, Firefox on Android does not.

There is a book, a mapping project, and a museum exhibit all linked in the first couple paragraphs of TFA. I encourage you to look at them as a jumping-off point into the 40 or 50 years of accumulated historical scholarship on the subject.
I've been seeing this topic in the media for quite a few years now, and I just wonder why there doesn't seem to have any solution either from the private or public sectors. Is it because loneliness is not huge enough, or it's like poverty that has to be dealt by yourself? Those social media and apps trying to help just make loneliness and anxiety worse as many other articles suggest.
At age ~35 I had a pretty comprehensive medical checkup as part of my Australian permanent residency application.

I asked the doctor if I should be getting checked like this regularly.

“Do you feel okay?”, he asked. I said yep. “Then no”, he said.
I assume that’s because they see them all day long so they are pretty good at spotting them in an X-ray. They don’t see weapons or actually threatening objects very often, or ever except for training.
Yes and what is your point? We should still try to push humanity further. It's like how people once viewed the world as flat. We need to keep dismantling illusions and get closer to where humanity can be the very best to all.
The US Border Patrol has jurisdiction 100 miles from any international border or coast, or something like that.

Note that Google, Apple, etc all have Australian employees and have subsidiaries incorporated in Australia. Google Maps came out of Google Australia, for instance. So you could argue they'd lose talent by pulling out.

Don't get me wrong, I want big tech companies to retaliate since that's the only way to get the attention of the Australian government (they stopped listening to the proletariat a long time ago). But it should be done as a retaliation, because that's the only justification that I believe would be consistent and might make a difference.

We're generally safe, but all the security organizations need to do something to justify themselves, and have ways of thinking that always pursues "greater security" as a direction even if it overshoots what is reasonable for free people.

When security begins to impede freedom, the mandate of security must be placed below the mandate for freedom. Security is there to protect freedom as its ideological basis, so this is an obvious prioritization.

As a non-google user, their chrome entanglement is what keeps me away. If MSFT does what you predict, I could see myself stepping away from Mozilla. More so because I like keeping the system as barebones as possible. So if there is no added benefit to installing Firefox — I won’t.
> The people I hear complain about how awful everybody else is... they're […], or they're super entitled and drive aggressively.

No, I simply expect others to follow the same laws that I'm bound to and that I follow. The Golden Rule. And a lot of drivers on the road simply do not do that.

> humans are remarkably adaptive and can convey intention through body language -- even through a "puppet body" like a motor vehicle. Humans can, by and large, adapt to "terrible" drivers -- swerving to avoid the aggro asshats

I agree with you here, but this doesn't really help demonstrate that humans are not, on average, poor drivers. That some of us can compensate for the shortcomings of others is great, but the fact that we not only compensate for the shortcomings, but that we're able to suss it out of such fine data — seems only to be evidence that we have a need for it, because collectively our driving is bad. Perhaps you can teach an AI to read the "body language" of a car, but I imagine that such a thing would be remarkably subtle and considerably difficult.

(On the whole, I don't think it really matters what the skill level of humans are. The AI must perform better, or else what's the point? Ideally, we should be able to prove that it's better — so as to sway public opinion, and I suspect that will be the hard part.)

AI wouldn't smooth out bubble because bubbles are opportunities for a few to make wealth at the expense of others.

Bubble in America (at least the recent ones since Greenspan) are all down to Fed being asked to bring the society to full employment (which is so backwards as a law because a central bank cannot bring full employment).

The bubbles also get created because the real risk takers (big investment funds, banks, companies) are not allowed to take losses that the masses will take.

As an example, let GE, GM, hedge funds, banks who lent outsized mortgages take the loss this time while interest rates rise to "normal". Sure a few people will lose jobs but we've created this hazardous situation right now where morally bankrupt corporations are backstopped by tax payers because they're too big to fail while the individual will lose their house if they can't pay mortgages.

Companies have to be allowed to fail. Fed needs to maintain price stability on CPI and assets (which they couldn't after the last bubble).
So what? Observing a black hole could affect it? But because of the event horizon, we couldn't observe any such effect, right? I suppose that someone could drop in to check. And maybe then they'd know.

But what about the rest of us? I gather that Hawking eventually agreed that black holes preserve information, and could leak it (somehow, eventually). Rajaniemi exploited the idea that information could be encoded in Hawking radiation. But that's just SF, I think.

Actually Microsoft is being real smart here because the swell over time will become Chrome is Microsoft Edge so why do you need to install Chrome? This is the downfall for Chrome IMO.

China doesn't have exclusive control of the borders with Taiwan, for population replacement (or just flooding Taiwan with loyal Chinese citizens to alter the demographics) it would require the Taiwanese government to look the other way, or encourage it. Neither is likely to happen, as their government isn't asleep at the helm.

What you are describing is a very large ad campaign. Chrome is advertised on the most valuable piece of web real estate in the world; Microsoft would have to spend quite a bit to offset this. And for what? If Edge exists to drive traffic to Microsoft web properties, then it makes no sense to advertise on this level.

I very much like privacy, but better privacy is only a market winner when coupled with an advertising budget. Firefox has proven that.
Twitter is massively censored. I don't know why anyone would claim otherwise. Twitter lies about shaddowbanning people, and is highly selective of enforcement of their policies.
"Waste" implying you have something to waste. Relax. We are all passing through and no one will even know we existed not too long after we pass. You can go screaming to the grave as you are doing, or you can seek peace and at least try to make the world better around you.
(Note: I'm not the OP.)

I don't get paid by-the-hour to drive; I get paid to arrive on-time. So commuting in my opinion (like IT in MBAs' opinion) is purely a (time-)cost center. And from that POV the average driver is indeed absolutely terrible. Ever since I started working in the software industry, I don't think I've ever taken the wheel of my car and driven it somewhere, without getting angry at another driver along the way.

Granted, different drivers can be terrible in different ways.

Some of them do stupid mutually-harmful BS like pulling out right front of me with minimal margin and no intent to travel at even half the speed-limit.

Others think that because they have an 8-cylinder engine and a traditional automatic transmission, that they should rule the streets - which they can and do, but that doesn't make me any less angry at them when they e.g. pass me at a 20mph relative-speed on the same side into which I was signalling to change because I was behind a schoolbus.
I saw a guy in front of me at the airport get stopped for a water bottle after the scan. They said "you can't have anything on this list"... at which point he pulled a box cutter out of his carry on and asked "do you need this too"...
Those six instructions amount to:

# a += (*p++) * (*q++)
mov x qi , mov y pi , mov b p*q , add , mov a a+b , [fiddle with index registers or store result]

It only looks tricky because the operation is manually scheduled onto a fairly deep pipeline, so each unit is doing its phase of a different iteration of the loop in any given cycle.
Reading your paragraphs reminded me of Durkheim's Anomie. Are you familiar with it?
> It is also a fact that after the 9/11 attacks the airline industry nearly collapsed because people were afraid to fly;

This is meaningless without mentioning time ranges. The TSA was created one month after 9/11, so there was no opportunity for any alternative course to ever take place.

Why didn't the airline industry "collapse" in other countries lacking the TSA? And what does "collapse" mean, exactly?

> the TSA was created for the sole purpose of calming those fears, which restored confidence in flying

And the PATRIOT act is for patriots. It is not worth mentioning that GW Bush said we're going to do X because of Y.
Or maybe it's because your company has screwed over people and lazily abused a monopoly position for decades to the detriment of many, destroying trust and building resentment.

Must feel strange getting beaten by an "inferior" product, considering how many inferior products Microsoft dumped on the market leveraging their business practices and monopoly position.

Microsoft may be behaving better now so that people will run their linux instances on Azure.

And android may be somewhat inferior, but it is far more open and is pretty damn good. Windows phone may have had a nice intro screen and some nifty features, but who knows if/when it could have handled the massive app variety and bad actors that android does. With the security reputation of windows, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't.

The alternative phone OSs we should be mourning are PalmOS, Ubuntu mobile, and similar efforts. Microsoft's continued existence will have to be tolerated, but any product of theirs that fails or acquiesces is a victory for the consumer.
It's even worse than that.

Knative is really an alpha piece of software at version 0.2.2 for the serving component. Riff is also at 0.2.0. What do Pivotal plan to do if both implement breaking changes (extremely likely), maintain a fork?

The other issue is what value is this all really providing? Kubernetes provides a standard API that abstracts infrastructure and deployments.

The benefit that Lambda brings is very simply connecting together cloud services. None of these FaaS on Kubernetes products do that. For anyone interested I looked into the current landscape on Kubernetes and gave up since it's all pretty worthless. https://kubedex.com/serverless/
> you start being a lot more conservative in your course selections

Conversation I had when young comes to mind. Stranger and I are on a ski lift. I am bragging about having not fallen once all day.

He replies: "Not falling means you're getting better. But it also means you aren't taking risks. If you want to keep getting better, you can't be obsessed with falling."

It was a philosophy diametrically opposed to the one espoused by my parents. With the benefit of hindsight, it's right. Prioritising straight A's over taking interesting (and varied) courses, building deep relationships and trying extra-curricular activities is not a great long-term decision for most favored life paths.
> Believing in evil is its own kind of privilege.

Tell that to holocaust survivors.

If you want to redefine commonly used words like "evil" until they no longer have any sort of meaning, go ahead, but in that case you might as well accept a nihilistic existence as an automaton obeying the deterministic time evolution laws of physics. I feel like the rest of society will ignore you in that case, and that's probably for the best.
I'd suspect that a major difficulty of applying AI to real estate is limited fungibility and liquidity.

With a stock or currency, there's usually enough of a live market that you can sell quickly at roughly market prices. Much of this is due to fungibility-- one share of INTC is worth the same as any other, so they can trade sight unseen with narrow spreads.

With real estate, the AI dashboard can flash and beep and scream "Sell the houses in Roanoke now!" but there's no easy way out. You're either spending weeks or months closing out individual retail sales, and if anything goes wrong you're back to square one while the price is deflating around you, or you try to sell it commercially sight-unseen, for which you're going to take a major price haircut.

Might work somewhat better with commercial real-estate which seems a bit more oriented to grading and classification to allow more sight-unseen trading.
What kind of fucking bullshit is this?
Autism is a spectrum of compensating behavioral patterns that emerge as the way to diminish unusually high emotional stress (which is also a spectrum) due to genetically transmitted "imbalances" in a brain's structure (and/or biochemistry).

So, nowadays every kind of fucking bullshit deserve the label "working hypothesis" instead of "gross incompetence"?

BTW, autistic spectrum disorders are "hijacked" the most stable evolutionary strategy of "good looks" - quiet village beauties are carrying these alleles (presumably, product of inbreeding).

There is no coincidence, that ASDs affects mostly boys. Motherly instincts, it seems, diminish (or compensate for) behavioral deviations.

If one could come down to earth from the Ivory towers of abstract bullshit and look at the real world, the answers are out there.

Perhaps the downvotes are because you call it "VC bullshit" — which is not a very thoughtful or productive way to debate ideas.

Having it for solo founders makes sense in case another founder or executive comes later, in which case a similar issue can arise. If you truly are a single founder, there are very very few situations in case you'd leave involuntarily, given there wouldn't be anyone with the power and voting stock to fire you, and given your departure would likely mean the death of the startup.

There's very little downside to accepting a vesting schedule as a solo founder.

When I was a teenager, I couldn't wait to start driving. That led to hanging out at the town bowling center with a group of like-minded friends.

> Even if you had a full-autonomous only Interstate where each car could be fully loaded and ride bumper-bumper at over 100kph, it wouldn't even begin reach the carrying capacity of currently existing fully autonomous subways systems like those in Singapore.

This is a poor comparison because cars on highways don't serve at all the same needs as subways in one of the densely populated areas in the world. I'm sure I could construct comparisons where airplanes fail, but a fleet of bicycles succeed(or vice versa), but that doesn't mean that humanity should pick one or the other as the optimal solution.
“In principle” is meaningless. Even the semantic tags that do exist are ineffective, as they aren’t used in practice (see TIME), completely ill defined (see CITE), or correspond to common use cases.

In practice — and that’s all that really matters — what you get are a mass of DIVs and SPANs where if there is any semantic information, it exists in the open vocabulary of CSS style classes.

I would tend to agree it generalizes for the given dataset, but stretch and say it generalizes for a orders of magnitude larger dataset of "similar" data that encompasses your smaller portion of data on which you trained; Then, as he pointed, you have only 2 options: or you need so much hard-work in collecting properly sampled and mapped data that you can model your data by hand then, no need for NNs, the other option is you just pray for the much bigger unknown portion of the data really be "similar" to your training portion, and praying, in this sentence, is ultimately just making a estimation.
