Here's one way. Highway driving is already significantly safer per mile than local roads,

> The grim statistics provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration also show that drivers on rural roads die at a rate 2.5 times higher per mile traveled than on urban highways. Urban drivers travel twice as many miles but suffer close to half the fatal accidents. [1]

That explains away Musk's "AP is twice as safe" comment. It's only twice as safe because people generally only activate it on the highway, which is already 2.5 times safer!

Agreed. I'm trying to move from being a secondary mathe teacher to actually learning pure math, and proofs are the killer. I feel like I understand topics, but creating proofs kills me.

Minimum wage is not the only variable which determines the value of money. You're forgetting the source of inflation itself: the federal reserve rate.

Think: how could an increase in minimum wage cause inflation? For that to happen – for all goods and services across the board to increase in value – the amount of money in circulation would have to increase, or the economy would have to shrink. But increasing the minimum wage does not cause money to enter circulation! So if an increase in minimum wage were to cause inflation, it would only be because the economy is simultaneously shrinking. (Which could possibly be caused by too great an increase in minimum wage, but that's a separate discussion. Is this what you are arguing?)

I hear this a lot on here.

Do you know what the point of not wanting for example IBS or Chrohn's (which I have) is?

SURPRISE It's not to be forced on a restrictive diet SURPRISE

Yes, diet makes it work. We know. That's like the majority of treament.

The point is, you don't want to have to go on a weird diet.

Palantir Played Key Role in Arresting Families for Deportation, Document Shows

Agreed it is. But most black farmers probably don't have a white family member to test out the same product and see that people pay more and compliment it when they sell it.

Instead they just receive lower prices and complaints when they try to sell. And if I were putting money, most of those prospective buyers would argue how 'fair' and equitable their evaluations are and how they are judging the product and not the person.
My awareness in this subject only goes back to the mid-70s so maybe your comment references a time before then but I can definitively say that since then there has not been a time when people in the US didn't know how oil changes worked. In fact back then car owners probably had more awareness of how oil changes worked since tasks such as oil changes, spark plug replacement, tune ups, brake drum/pad replacement were much more commonly done by the car owner than they are today.

FWIW my GE electric stove/oven was installed when my house was built in 1967 (52 years ago). Everything works perfectly except for one front burner, which went bad about 2005. Oven is perfectly calibrated. I bought the house (and stove) in 1983 and have never required a service visit. When I mentioned to an appliance tech who was installing a new Maytag washer/dryer that I was thinking of getting a more modern stove, he said, "Don't."
Good arguments can be made that both charities and businesses should be tax exempt. As a sovereign nation, NK should be allowed nuclear weapons if China has them. And the US shouldn't have a standing army, at least if we're being governed by the rules of or founders.

All your examples ultimately boil down to force and have little to do with what ought to be.
Ah thanks! Wasn't seeing this option
I used to think like this. But these days I believe we've lost our moral high ground, beginning with OIF and continuing with countless unethical, shady things people in power are doing in the name of the red herring that is "national security." I've lost faith in this country's ability to wisely wield the technology it has.

Maybe it was always this way and I just had a rosy outlook early in life, but it seems at some recent point we became the bad guys. I don't want to make weapons, or anything really, for the bad guys.

> I'm no geneticist but I wonder if such statements have any scientific value or even meaning.

There's no basis for that usage. The writer just used those terms to catch the attention of people who are intrigued by the largely fictional concept of "pure-blood". At most, they might have a high concentration of particular traits due to marrying only among themselves for a long time.

The ancestry that the article itself purports for the tribe - moving from Central to South Asia via the Indus Valley - would mean they intersected with several different populations along that route. That route is through the crossroads of Asia, so it's very unlikely that they are "pure-blooded" in the way that, for example, the Sentinelese Islanders are - separated from any other population for 10s of thousands of years.

Despite the Brokpa's current isolation, they probably share some of their genetics with nearby South and Central Asian populations, but the article provides no citations about their genetics, despite it's casual claims. This article [1] suggests that nothing is known today about their genetics at all. Curiously, it does say they are traditionally vegan.

I'm not sure that even the Sentinelese themselves are "pure-blooded" in any sense of the word, but rather they just had an earlier branching point from other human populations than most, with no contact since then.

> But one problem remained: Fordlandia was not producing any rubber. Jungle foliage continued to be cleared, but efforts to plant rubber trees yielded discouraging results. The few trees that took root were quickly beset by blight.

This is too bad. With vision clearer in hindsight, it appears Ford should have taken a more "lean" approach in testing his means of production, perhaps at a smaller scale requiring fewer personnel and ultimately a smaller investment.

I am no botanist, so I'm unsure if they had the means of fighting blight at that time, but the presence of it would have made me question the resulting scalability (if density of plantings had to be reduced).

However, the foible seems understandable, given Ford's ambition and track record of solving problems.
Isn't that the exact type problem that massively benefits from having tons of real world data because they will have examples to train their neural nets for practically every possibility?

Of course they wouldn't, but I don't see why this is a point you would like to make. They would face the potential for real-life backlash if any of many mobs prowling the internet noticed their comment. You can post safely because you're voicing a majority-held opinion.

U=U is fantastic science; though it hasn’t been enough to totally remove the stigma of HIV, even in San Francisco. I believe it comes from not enough dissemination of information regarding the nonexistent risk of contracting HIV from an undetectable partner.

I’m also concerned that by focusing on HIV as a manageable, chronic condition - we discount the need for a cure.

A dystopian future possibility that’s come through my head is the cure is a century away despite progress, and U=U doesn’t do enough to remove the stigma faced today regardless how much the public is informed of the science.

I believe that a cure is required to truly remove the stigma of HIV.

I can scream “I am undetectable” from the rooftops and what that entails It’s never going to matter to the people that find creative ways to cancel plans, get out of dates, etc. when I disclose my status as HIV+ to them.

I’m at least thankful for the people that tell me it makes them uncomfortable to consider kissing or any sexual contact - even with this knowledge. And even with pre exposure prophylaxis / PrEP.

This is bogus because “the rich” we are talking about here only exist because of peace and security and these other institutions. The historical rich were not people who sold snacks; they were the people providing stability and security — they were warlords. Someone like Bezos or Gates is not able to oppress and doesn’t need to be bought off.
The chemicals in the water changing the sex of frogs (and fish) are herbicides, pesticides, and the output of chemical processes like paper processing.

> Christianity provided social services that improved reproductive rates

Social services, and perhaps this might have some impact:

Monopoly on platform reach. The reach of facebook, or the reach of youtube, twitter etc, is so high, that if you want to disseminate a message, those _must_ be the platforms you use. It's as if they own the radio spectrum, and you have to acquiesce to what they demand to use said spectrum.

Same in Europe. You arrive at Frankfurt Airport. None EU citizens are questioned as if they are terrorists. I go to electronic doors. I put my EU passport to the gate. The camera scans my face and then computer compares it with the photo in my EU passport (there is HD photo within the passport chip). And the door opens. I'm back home in EU. No police, no border control other than that few seconds camera check.

It seems like a really scary gamble to have unprotected sex with someone who is HIV-positive for a research study, and I was wondering how the study found such couples. The paper mentions that they identified couples with one HIV-positive partner, and then followed up with them to see if they reported condomless sex.

WeChat groups are designed to be private (as opposed to being public, not necessarily to protect privacy). To join one you normally have to know either the admin or a member of the group. A QR code for public access is available but it's forced to expire in seven days. So for a regular sized group of a few dozen people, it's relatively easy to spot a stranger.
They don’t “need to know” for reasons which are of significant practical benefit to citizens/residents.

But institutions like governments only “see” via data collection, and in general are happy to collect whatever is technically and socially feasible, and people involved in setting up databases seldom stop to think about the risks or trade-offs involved in collecting various types of data, or whether that data is meaningful or useful. https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2010/07/26/a-big-little-idea-call...
Yes. The former is governed by commercial terms, and the latter is governed by consumer terms.

That's different from your second question about model training/retraining -- there is an answer to that questions elsewhere (but it is taken seriously and training data is also deleted upon deletion of the source data where it contains PII). I don't know this next part, but I suspect models use such vast amounts of data that any arbitrarily small deletion wouldn't have much impact.
I think that’s naive. China can just arrest you for using encryption.

The beautiful bush views were marred by the coal mines put there at the behest of elites living down in Sydney. The quiet of the countryside was broken by the constant thrum of machinery. I really couldn't imagine living there with that constant coal dust and noise.

This isn't necessarily true. At my previous company we had a serious finding (DoD audit) as a result of poorly written software. The finding was discovered by running one of our standard internal reports and looking at who touched what, when, and where. Pretty straightforward, and although the fix was in code, the discovery didn't require any technical analysis.

I am not sure if passport photo is good enough for this. The mimimum requirement for face recognition is about 50 pixels between the eyes, and for reliable recognition it probably should be more.

I'm a web developer from Mexico looking for freelance or remote gigs. I'm a junior developer experience-wise, but I can still build a good web application that will fit your user's needs. I can also learn any web/MVC framework fairly quickly, so I'm not limited to the technologies mentioned earlier.
Yes, I was planning to start with what NumBa (http://numba.pydata.org/) is doing, they also use the LLVM PTX backend.

There is a really promising new project by Chris Lattner (the original author of LLVM) called MLIR: https://github.com/tensorflow/mlir. That might be the best intermediate representation that all the compilers (Julia, Fortran, ...) could target.
I am not saying it guarantees those things and that guarantee is not relevant to my argument at all. They have to be paid for, they aren’t free.

It is definitely possible to pay a lot of tax and get nothing and that is something to be opposed. America’s existence is testament to the resentment that unjust taxation evokes.
There is a difference between "a random bureaucrat can read all my chats just by typing at the keyboard" and "a random bureaucrat must authorize and pay for someone to pay me a visit".

You don't encrypt everything to prevent the state actors from breaking it--if a state actor wants you bad enough they'll just fabricate what they need and arrest you. You encrypt everything to prevent random idiots (including those working for state actors) from getting at your stuff cheaply.

If it's expensive enough, there will always be lower hanging fruit to go after. I don't need to out run the hungry tiger; I simply need to out run somebody else being chased by the tiger.
Enter: steganography. Useful under totalitarian regimes, I would think.

Unlike the burden required to hide gigs required for large file transactions, hiding mere hundreds of bytes for textual conversations might be feasible. Maybe. Distribution of participating client software might be the problem.
