I don't get the choice of Lisp. I don't mind it, I use Emacs, but a more popular language can have more complete platform bindings:

My first guess, based on basically nothing at all, was that this was an IBM Watson project. 0.3 seconds of Googling found that IBM has already published a case study on their website about Verizon using Watson. So, I'm going to go with that.

Right, but as of a few months ago Black Panther was the highest grossing (and most tickets sold) out of all Marvel movies. Probably Infinity War has passed it since then, but still. Its likely the second-most successful Marvel movie ever - thats significant, no?

There are different types of advisers. People often get burned because broker dealers, stockbrokers, and insurance agents do not have fiduciary responsibility (they do not need to act in your best interest). A fee only adviser (with fiduciary responsibility, which will only charge you a fixed fee is a solid choice and worthwhile to keep you out of trouble.

As a potential future patient you think about the quality of care when you shop for insurance. An insurance plan that can show you get better care when you need it for only $[small]/month is something you will consider taking, particularity if "know someone" (including a random person on the internet) who got bad service and regretted it.

Of course if you are in the US you cannot shop for insurance, the law ensures that you take whatever your employer offers.

You can search for "the 4 percent rule" or "trinity study" if you're curious about more. But basically, stock markets over long time average 7-8%. Subtracting inflation gives you a rule of thumb of 4% that historically would have worked.

Of course, the future might not match. But the studies also use a fixed withdrawal rate throughout. One could further mitigate the risk by having a small side-income some years, reducing spending in down-years etc. Also, how much money one needs post-retirement is often less, for instance if the mortgage is paid down, not housing kids any more etc.

> All of those things are true, and I don't need them to be untrue to assign the largest share of responsibility to the thief.

You actually do. The very process of assigning "share of responsibility" is precisely the question that depends upon free will. If the thief stole your car only because someone was holding his wife hostage, now where does the responsibility lie? The circumstances immediately surrounding the car theft are precisely the same, but now an influence further back in the causal chain is presumably responsible. How would you differentiate these two scenarios without free will?

Free will is necessary to explain why you are morally blameworthy or praiseworthy for your choice of whether to go with your inclinations.

> Emacs is an ok lisp machine

GNU Emacs is an extensible text editor, but not a Lisp Machine. A Lisp machine is a computer with a Lisp OS on the metal. This means the OS itself is written in Lisp and not just some specialized application, interfacing to a foreign underlying OS. A Lisp OS has also an open GUI and not just an editor-buffer-based UI.

With GNU Emacs the extensibility ends when one calls an OS tool or an OS library - for a Lisp Machine there is no such distinction.

GNU Emacs is a mostly single-threaded editor, with a horrible user interface and heroic efforts from users to deal with thousands of modes and keystroke combinations.

None of the extensible Lisp applications are 'Lisp Machines': not Autocad, not Audacity, not iCAD, not Creo Elements, not GNU Emacs, not OpusModus, not Macsyma, ... They are Lisp applications which expose a development interface and a development environment (yes, Autocad has Lisp development tools) and users are writing complex applications on top of those.

On a real Lisp Machine, an Emacs-like text editor is just one application and one interface style.

Removing the context from copyright into the larger umbrella of IP (patents and trademarks) you touch on the other half of the coin (consumer experience) whereas obviously Twain focused on the creator side.

From the consumer side, I don’t purchase anything from amazon because of the counterfeit problem. Now consider counterfeits scaled to every facet of your life. In a world of no IP protections consider walking into a mall and seeing 10 Apple stores and not knowing which is the real Apple store selling real products, and which are low quality fakes.

2FA seems to make sense. Maybe a 4-6 digit pin that would be optional for those in high risk areas/situations.

> But do they really transmit all the time, or do they contain accelerators or something to prevent battery from being wasted?

I'm curious about this as well. A family member has an older Nissan with a keyless fob and I don't recall them ever having to replace batteries/keyfobs.
I already put mine in a metalic bag for the night, or just press the "lock" button twice which disables the keyless entry system entirely.

Manufacturers really need to hurry up and implement more accurate timing detection in the keys - it should be absolutely trivial to detect how far away the key is based on the response time, but for some reason manufacturers don't do this yet.

Edit: I also know people who take the exact opposite approach with their expensive vehicles - they leave the key in plain sight near the front door, so if someone wants to steal the car using this method they can do so without entering the house or if they do break in they will(hopefully) take the key and leave, without threatening and possibly harming their family. I'm not sure which way is better - preventing the thief from stealing your vehicle and risk that they will then decide to break in and get the key from you, or let them steal it and just deal with insurance later.

You could apply that same "who cares?" attitude to the size of "double" in C. Whether you burden yourself with that knowledge is not a feature of the language. More "C coders" care because they're micro-optimizing, but it's no more needed in C than Python.

Maybe we need a light fork which removes all those problematic parts on each release?
I know a bit about the subject and here's my advice:

1) Take care of your will and heirs - sometimes it's called "estate planning". There are cheap options online, with the risk of making some terrible mistakes. Hire an attorney with lots of experience doing this, and ask him/her to setup a trust for you and your family. Make sure you fully understand the tax implications of what you're going to setup.

2) The biggest risk of a large sum of money is trying to manage it and allocate it all at once. Imagine that investing or managing money is like a sport, and you have pretty much never trained for this. What would you do? You'd take it step by step. With money, slow down and take a decision at a time.

3) 8M is in the range of "f*ck you money", which means it gives you complete economical freedom for your life, and probably for your heirs too. It's probably wise to maximize for "survivability" of your egg nest, rather than trying to make even more money. Therefore, be conservative when deciding where to invest.

4) Diversify: like redundancy for high-availability IT applications, you need at least 2, possibly 3 quite independent asset classes to invest into (e.g. real estate, stocks, bonds, cryptocurrencies, foreign real estate, etc). Unfortunately, common wisdom about how to properly diversify is debatable to say the least. Spend some time reading and learning and try to come up with something satisfactory.

5) You might hire an investment manager, I am not a big fan of most of these guys, but it might be a way to learn, and you don't need to allocate a huge sum with him/her (perhaps less than 500k?).

6) Make sure you and your wife are 100% aligned with your "money" strategy.

7) Don't make it too public that you own $8M. It's not unheard of in certain places like Silicon Valley, but at the same time, when people know you're rich, they take for granted that you can afford things and that you are supposed to contribute more to other things. Certain relationships become a bit complicated. Just keep it for yourself.

8) Make sure your "IT security" is safe, especially if you will end up owning cryptocurrencies, but also in general.

9) Other than this, enjoy your life. Money is to buy freedom.

10) Finally, if you think you've been given a nice hand by fate, why don't you commit a small fraction of that (2%? 5%?) to doing good for others. Pick a charity, or even better, take a year off and volunteer somewhere with your family. It could be great.

I am no way as rich as you are, but I have enough to be able to "buy" me time with what I have accumulated in the past few years, and that allowed me to do what I wanted to do. It didn't go as expected, but I don't regret it.

At the same time, when you didn't grow up with money in the family, it can be surprisingly hard at times to deal with large sums earned quite quickly, like in your case. The worst parts might be dealing with your partner/spouse, dealing with your friends, and dealing with big recessions where you wipe out maybe half of your net worth.

Good luck.
Maybe I haven't seen enough large-scale corporate failures (and the associated damage control, which is how it seems you are characterizing this post), but it feels like you're making this prediction on the basis of not enough data.

Exactly. The job will be advised requiring proficiency in one or more languages, so that defines which ones you should use. From those, do a couple of practice interview questions - it will rapidly become clear which language you prefer for these.
> So, if the philosophical basis is that "if we can deterministically compute something, it's deterministic" then human cognition at the moment is most indeterminate.

I think computational complexity is important, but I also think it's important not to conflate "unpredictable" with "indeterminate", even if they are behaviourally indistinguishable.

> Free will or no free will, we really can't know the difference. So it's best to behave like you have a free will, and own your own actions as far as you can.

Dennett calls this the "intentional stance", ie. that any system of sufficient complexity should be treated as if it were acting with intent.

I’ve been complaining about this for a few years as well. When I went to buy a new TV last year my options were so horrifically limited that I gave up, bought a highly regarded model and have purposefully never connected it to any networks.

It’s getting worse, we couldn’t even find a new fridge with the options we wanted that wasn’t ‘smart’. I wound up taking apart my LG fridge to disable the WiFi module after we bought it. Not connecting it to the WiFi wasn’t enough, the damn thing broadcasts it’s own wireless network and I got sick and tired of seeing it. Shocker, there was no way to turn it off.

Here in the UK, the way I heard it from a friend who was doing their pre-med, is that there was a built-in cost incentive: hospitals paid doctors who were on-call at one third of their regular hourly rate for out-of-hours on-call coverage. (That's not regular hourly rate plus a third; that's one third of normal wages for hours after the first 40.) So the hospital administration had a solid reason to work their interns and house officers into the ground rather than hiring extra junior doctors.

The original rationale was that the "on call" hours were not supposed to be busy and the duty doctors could spend most of them sleeping in a bunk or studying: but by the late 1980s (when I heard about things) they were working more or less constantly through their shifts.

The EU Working Hours Directive was supposed to fix this by banning workers from putting in more than about 50 hours a week without very specific protections being enforced, but one of the first things the UK's Conservative government did in 2010 was to stop enforcing this.
I've worked in companies that struggle to hire any candidate, let alone top candidates. Stripe is amongst the top employers. The vast majority of smaller shops (banks, b2b software companies, agencies) just need to staff up and would rather hire and fire than miss out on a good candidate.
Cars are treated like this because of theirs needs. At the beginning, they weren't and all theses requirements came later on.

If we did the same as we do with the scooters right now, we simply wouldn't have cars. Instead we made the right decision and added all theses requirements one by one when it was needed.

Sure scooters have needs to and we need to define theses needs and regulate them, but can we actually discover theses needs first? China has shown that we need designated space, so let's start with that. They also shown that we should have ways for carriers to quickly move some, so let's add that too.

That part though... Physics has a problem where the people practicing it can't even make a satisfactory connection to reality. Even from the outside we see this in debates about "interpretation" which go on among physicists. To be satisfied with the mathematics is one thing, to have a satisfactory connection back to reality is quite another. Don't let the beauty of the abstractions blind you to that.

How pregnancy may shape a child's autism
Brief overview of the article if anyone is interested. Very interesting case.

Background

Uterus transplantation from live donors became a reality to treat infertility following a successful Swedish 2014 series, inspiring uterus transplantation centres and programmes worldwide. However, no case of livebirth via deceased donor uterus has, to our knowledge, been successfully achieved, raising doubts about its feasibility and viability, including whether the womb remains viable after prolonged ischaemia.

Methods

In September, 2016, a 32-year-old woman with congenital uterine absence (Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser [MRKH] syndrome) underwent uterine transplantation in Hospital das Clínicas, University of São Paulo, Brazil, from a donor who died of subarachnoid haemorrhage. The donor was 45 years old and had three previous vaginal deliveries. The recipient had one in-vitro fertilisation cycle 4 months before transplant, which yielded eight cryopreserved blastocysts.

Findings

The recipient showed satisfactory postoperative recovery and was discharged after 8 days' observation in hospital. Immunosuppression was induced with prednisolone and thymoglobulin and continued via tacrolimus and mycophenalate mofetil (MMF), until 5 months post-transplantation, at which time azathioprine replaced MMF. First menstruation occurred 37 days post-transplantation, and regularly (every 26–32 days) thereafter. Pregnancy occurred after the first single embryo transfer 7 months post-transplantation. No blood flow velocity waveform abnormalities were detected by Doppler ultrasound of uterine arteries, fetal umbilical, or middle cerebral arteries, nor any fetal growth impairments during pregnancy. No rejection episodes occurred after transplantation or during gestation. Caesarean delivery occurred on Dec 15, 2017, near gestational week 36. The female baby weighed 2550 g at birth, appropriate for gestational age, with Apgar scores of 9 at 1 min, 10 at 5 min, and 10 at 10 min, and along with the mother remains healthy and developing normally 7 months post partum. The uterus was removed in the same surgical procedure as the livebirth and immunosuppressive therapy was suspended.

Interpretation

We describe, to our knowledge, the first case worldwide of livebirth following uterine transplantation from a deceased donor in a patient with MRKH syndrome. The results establish proof-of-concept for treating uterine infertility by transplantation from a deceased donor, opening a path to healthy pregnancy for all women with uterine factor infertility, without need of living donors or live donor surgery.
