America's loneliness epidemic: A systemic risk to organizations
The question is, what's the limiting factor: Availability of manpower, natural resources, etc, or 'merely' the money to pay for them? The latter is an artificial constraint.

Take nuclear fusion as an example: Supposedly, this is a case where the projected investments necessary to go from theory to practice just haven't been made. With return of investment only anticipated in the far-off future, it was decided that the money could be spent in better ways.

> No, no they won't. That only happens in areas with functioning competition. You seem to be sorely missing this

FWIW I live in an apartment building and get 100/100 fios for $44.99 a month. I think it’s supposed to be 39.99 but for some reason my autopay discount isn’t registering and I haven’t bothered contacting customer support to see if I can fix it.

There is zero competition here, the apartment is only wired for FiOS so the only other options I would have would be congested 4G and maybe a satellite dish.

I’m not really sure why fios offers such a low price when they are a monopoly...
Oh dang, doesn't look like it's available in the US. It looks really good. I remember hearing about this part of history from this short doc: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiy3b5HkUVw
Really neat. I can see mounting their $300 mirror on my apartment balcony to extend my “direct” sunlight a couple of hours.
Thanks very much. The website doesn't mention any technical mentoring but since you mentioned, I will directly write a mail to him and find out.
> Do all other OECD countries cover nursing homes for free until death? That's the case when liens apply - not hospitalization.

The NHS in the UK does, yeah [1]. In Ontario, end-of-life care is also provided and long-term care is provided for ~$1800CAD per month if you can afford it, and it may be free if not via a combination of CPP, social security and income-based subsidies. [2] In 2002, France introduced universal, income-adjusted, public long-term care coverage for adults 60 and older [3]. The Netherlands does too [4]. The rest of the OECD I'm not sure. Most developed systems do offer something.

The health system really is better pretty much everywhere else in the OECD. And remember! Every one of the systems I mentioned spends less per capita than the US. In some cases like Canada half.

> I don't think it is entirely unreasonable that medicaid - a medical program for poor people - has the right to put a lien on someone's estate. Normally people on medicaid don't even have estates (or else they wouldn't meet the asset test), but for some reason we don't count house equity for the asset qualification criteria. Very unfair for renters - this at least somewhat equalizes things.

While I don't believe in inter-generational wealth I'd argue this furthers the cycle of debt and poverty by taking an estate away from those who could most benefit - the poorest.

It might actually be more difficult. There have been cases where soap dispensers didn't work on blacks because more infrared was absorbed. Not saying it's not solvable, but it's possibly harder. I guess you're right that you could make different models and use the correct one based on race. Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm no expert, but could this be solved by adding an extra layer to a neutral network?

I had the idea after giving a presentation and trying to give people a bunch of resources at the end where they could go learn more. I was putting a bunch of links on a slide and then people would take a photo of the slide with their phone. I felt like nobody was going to go home and type in URL's from some grainy phone picture. I know I wouldn't. I wanted one simple URL I could give people to point to all of my resources.

Interesting to note that AWS has been working on their own custom silicon, such as the announced Arm based AWS Graviton powered machines.

We will most likely see a continued divergence between "consumer silicon" which is designed for speed in a single tenant environment on your local desktop or laptop, and "cloud silicon" which is optimized to protect virtualization, be power efficient, etc. I'd predict that this will actually lead to increased efficiency and lower prices of cloud resources rather than the "death by a 1000 cuts" that you are proposing.
Another way to think about MemSQL is that it's an operational database. This means that it can support high velocity transactions and power apps. The fact it can run decision support (OLAP) benchmarks is an important differentiation. Since those benchmarks are SQL benchmarks you can think of it as simple as "it's just great in SQL". Or you can think about it as "if my app has reporting as part of the workloads MemSQL will handle it out of the box". Finally there are many use cases that fall in the category of "Operational Analytics": time series, IoT, real-time dashboarding, moving from batch to streaming, predictive maintenance. All of those require underlying infrastructure to handle transactions and complex SQL in one system.

There's a difference between choosing which areas of science to support based on non-scientific criteria such as your politics (which is what it sounds like she is doing), and trying to stop science from happening or supporting anti-science because your politics are not consistent with science.

Take conservation. There might be several ways to approach a given conservation problem, all of which are scientifically sound. It is then a political question which to use. Her answer to that question would presumably be one that advances social justice...but unless she would also falsely claim that others are not scientifically valid, or would also try to stop research into the other methods, her position and actions are not a political attack on science.
> I may have been inferring a tone that wasn't present.

That's most likely the case. From my experience with talking to people on this topic I've noticed that anytime I point out the shortcomings of meditation and the like, people--no matter how intelligent they are--tend to get very offended and then proceed to respond to me in anger without even realizing that they are feeling anything but good. (The very fact that this otherwise reasonable thread has been flagged to death is a testament to that).

> I'll be honest and say that from my naive understanding of meditation [...]

If you do your research beyond the watering down of eastern spirituality to fit the western secular mind (which is not, actually, secular) then you may very well see that there is in fact no connection whatsoever between gratitude (i.e., writing thank-you notes, thanking someone mentally, keeping a gratitude journal, counting on one's blessings, praying, meditation) and enjoying and appreciating this moment of being alive while say drinking a delicious cup of coffee on a sunny terrace, as the former is designed specifically to attain a specific emotional state to counter, and keep at bay, the feelings like resentment.

The full friend data is the only substantial difference I'm seeing between the two (which is quite substantial). The current Facebook API doesn't allow an app to even see friend names unless the friends also authenticate the app.

Basically, with the CA quiz Facebook allowed you to export your data to another site or app so you wouldn't need to put it into that site as you're saying. If you were to instead just upload the entire Facebook archive that seems like you're opening up even more data about yourself to potential abusers as well as some friends data that's in there (I think at least name and phone number?).

Blocking a protein curbs memory loss in old mice: study
My wife and I buy a couple of relatively popular TV series on Amazon to watch them without commercials. I've been watching the minute count on a "half-hour" TV series creep down over the years... 23 minutes... 22 minutes... current "best" record I've personally witnessed is 18 minutes, but stay tuned. If someone replied with a 16 or a 17 example I wouldn't be shocked. I'm wondering if the TV companies will experience some modicum of shame around the 15 minute mark.

Suddenly I’m less impressed in the Mossad. Really they recruit hackers on FB?

> No human should be made to do such mindless work.

In the US, nobody is _made_ to do such work. However, until it is automated there will always be a price for it in the labor market.

> And for $13.75 an hour, it definitely isn't worth it.

Presumably the mindless nature of the work increases the wages. Do you recall the minimum wage in that region at the time?

I’m trying to arrive at is a logical sequence of steps like: the less desireable work is, the higher it’s price in the labor market. It’s more profitable to automate more expensive labor. Thus, by quitting you shortened the time-to-automate.
AFAIK, there are techniques to detect and denoisify minuscule timing differences over millions of samples, and the fundamentals of most techniques apply to interpreters as well, so it is not a solid protection.

That said, it would make things harder in practice since you’re introducing an extra indirection level and just making everything slower.

As for interpreters in modern browsers, I’d be surprised if there’s no way to entirely disable the JIT somehow... since most JIT implementations I have seen have an interpreter fallback for debugging and easier portability to new CPU architectures.

They are when they are intended for a specific purpose. E.g. tax credits for jobs are often given to companies like amazon in exchange for locating their HQ in NoVA . If the deal falls apart the credits automatically vanish or reduce proportionally.

This tax break was a general reduction in the corporate tax. It applied to every company in America and wasn’t created in exchange for a specific promise. The concept was that we switch our US tax rate to a globally competitive rate, while also getting rid of the incentives for companies to shelter money overseas rather than spend it in the US after being double taxed.
Same my son grew up on Netflix, we were watching the Super Bowl on OTA tv when he was 5 and he asked the same thing, what's this? Oh that's a commercial.

He also picked up that when we search a toy on amazon, afterward there would be an ad on the side of YouTube for the same toy, he pointed and asked how they did that. This was around the same time, he was 5 or 6.
A lot of existing schemes already check both.

The above comment didn't mention modification explicitly and could be read as talking about the level of threat this poses.
But orchestrated by who? Surely not Bloomberg as they'd have too much to lose.

And if you have the means to do something like this, why not do it in a more subtle way that doesn't have people asking questions 6 months later?

I'm not suggesting you're wrong and I have no clue what happened.
I've eliminated all virtual ads in my life, at least, and I typically ignore in-person ads subconsciously. I don't have a cable subscription, I pay for every platform/tool I use, etc. I also run an ad blocker, though I try to be careful about making sure I'm paying for something that's valuable to me.

I don't really feel extorted. These things are usually services provided to me, services that probably would not exist without revenue, whether by ads or subscriptions.

I will say this: there are times where I feel somewhat disconnected as a result, especially when it comes to entertainment. Like, I saw Avengers: Endgame without having seen Captain Marvel first... because I didn't know Captain Marvel was being released. It didn't show up on any of my social media, I guess, or I missed it if it did.

Similarly, I've missed new seasons of shows I cared about. No political ads - sometimes people refer to local ads in casual conversation and I'm mostly lost. Stuff like that.

It's sort of eye-opening to realize how much information is disseminated via ads/media. I mean, it's obvious in retrospect, right? But to experience it, well, it's something.
This is great but if your child is watching so much Netflix that 400 hours worth of commercials are avoided, maybe your child is watching too much? Go play with Legos or do something interactive...
24 (3x8 or 4x6) should be what we shoot for as the new norm for ordinary employment. That's the tipping point where selling your time to someone else isn't necessarily the main thing you do with your life, even if you're "fully employed" through ordinary retirement age.
This report is both impressive and frustrating. I’m sorry your AP is not functioning and their fix was not permanent, that must be incredibly frustrating as a huge benefit of the car is the AP system.

At the same time, it is pretty amazing they are remotely logging into your car to review system logs and diagnose the issue, and then pushing firmware updates to try to remedy the problem.

There may be no choice but to drive back to the service center to try to get a quicker response from Tesla. At some point if they can’t fix it there could be a remedy under the lemon law — they only get 3 chances and a certain number of days AFAIK.

I can understand how a single fault could disable the adaptive cruise and likewise all of AutoPilot functionality. But Tesla is expected to be able to fix the issue promptly.
The shortcuts that we're talking about here are all pretty trivial in terms of performance impact and in terms of what it takes to fix the issue.

Meanwhile, GPUs are designed to run thousands of threads in parallel, and orders of magnitude slower than a CPU when running only a handful of threads.

Another interesting search is American inventors. Out of the first 16 featured with photos, only one (Thomas Edison at #5) is not black. It mostly continues that theme for all 56 featured, not even getting to the Wright brothers. It's been that way for a while, as seen in this article from 2.5 years ago: http://www.unz.com/isteve/great-moments-in-google-american-i...

Another interesting search is for the_donald. It is pretty clear that the subreddit should appear first, probably followed by the old.reddit.com version. Right now it is fourth, mixed in with a lot of far-left hate and conspiracies. The second link is a conspiracy claiming that /r/The_Donald is run by Russians!!! It was even worse last week, being totally missing from the search results -- but that was starting to become a news story, so it got "fixed" to be subtle.

You have a bit of a PR crisis forming here. The idea to abandon Google is spreading. Once lost, trust is hard to regain.
