I think it's an interesting question when this will start to show up - not in terms of managing everything including taxes but in terms of making automated business decisions.

In niches where business decisions are data driven, connecting a supply in some market to a demand in another, the choice of what to buy and sell could conceivably be automated.

Like gauging demand for mug/thermos/branded item du jour on amazon, checking whether similar items exist on alibaba and then setting up an amazon market place that resells your slightly rebranded but identical item from alibaba. Of course this all hinges on the data - an algorithm is prone to fall into traps that some humans fall into (i.e. the company you buy from only sells the box and not the product).
This is a hard read as so much of it is "I don't like this opinion I hear, here are some vied insults about people who share that view".

Really you can already look at basically any illustrated porn you want, just pay a bit of money to an artist. This is a huge portion of the furry community. $50 will easily get you some impressive furry smut.

Deepfakes can only put different faces on people, it can't create some of the more niche fetishes the illustrated porn market does. Call me back when it can generate a 800 foot tall bird-man stomping on a pixie.
Belief that the poor nations of Africa and Asia and the rest of the "third world" are simply doomed to poverty and suffering is widespread, even among educated and sensitive people.

You need to take care so the synchronization isn't eating your performance wins though. I know you wrote "in a sensible manner", so you probably already thought of that. I don't know if another programming language is what the world needs, but there are libraries available to at least ease the pain.

I recently found Vulkan compute for people. I haven't tried it yet, maybe you'll find it interesting.

A number of my friends are recent med school graduates, and from what they tell me that politics is very much a factor not just for advancement, but even things like placement in a medical specialty.

"Become doctors" is just saying that they graduated medical school; even C students become doctors, but the politicking really starts once you try to join a specific practice, like cardiology, emergency medicine, pediatrics, etc. Every speciality has its gatekeepers who they need to schmooze if they want that seal of approval.

It is true yes, that's why the generated blog have a canonical link to medium so that the SEO isn't impacted. So you won't get any SEO for the articles that have been created on Medium but if you create one on your blog first and then import it on Medium (using the import tool, not copy pasting the content), Medium will be nice and put a canonical link pointing to your blog.

Unfortunately, it's not possible to set a canonical link on Medium a posteriori.

I feel like that phrase gets bounded about all the time when people don't see their own narrative parroted back to them. Same with the following part of the sentence.
You don't tell them they are dumb or anything. You just let them exist as long as possible without labeling or self-labeling. I know it is just a saying, but I think the research backs it up: Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard. Effort and discipline must come before "smart". It's okay to smart, it isn't like we shame it or anything, we just don't focus on it. We read advanced books and do all sorts of "smart" things in the house, but we don't label it or compare it. Smart is a thing that really breaks out your "comparing mind" as they call it in buddhism. The author had the same issues, feeling a bit smug compared to all of the average kids. That is the comparing mind in action and it all sets you up for potential failure.
It’s obviously both a huge safety hazard and a money pit. Let’s raze it and build a modern structure to proper building codes.
No. It's a case study that shows that a worst case exposure to radioactive material is not a death sentence.

Are you familiar with the term "Case study" or "Case report"? It it is a medical/other study that follows a single individual over time. These are published daily in many medical journals.
I think it is more a moral trolley problem really. Not doing something will result in X but do it for Y which will lessen it. Included the associated arguements about responsibility vs outcomes.

So the problems you solve in management are how to get people to solve problems, not the physical/logical problems themselves. It's not faffing around, and it's a higher level of abstraction, arguably something gifted people would be good at if they hadn't been trained to solve problems like a super IC.
"It's stealing from the future, locking up prime real estate to be a monument to the past."

Stealing what from the future? Are you assuming that people from the future would rather have a shopping mall or something on the Île de la Cité rather than a monument to the past? Personally, I'm rather grateful that people in the past have taken the time to preserve buildings from their time and earlier so I and others in my time can appreciate them rather than tearing them down and building some disposable modern structure that would be gone now. Not only is Notre Dame in particular a great work of art and much more attractive than any glass and steel structure (of which we have far too many imho,) its connection to the past is something that becomes more valuable as time passes. If we were to tear it down today, you can bet that future generations of Parisians would be cursing our generation's arrogance and self-involvement.
NoSQL has its use, but architects do ugly things to advance their personal brand and market themselves; old buildings that can't protect themselves are wonderful hosts for their agendas.
I'm betting that in 5-10 years, there will be an explosion of aero startups. But fast and loose don't work as well in space, where everything ends up going 11,000 meters per second at least. The culture will necessarily be a bit more conservative, and as others have mentioned, software is usually a supporting element at best, a necessary evil at worst.

the US tendency for regulation by judicial settlement instead of legislation and the much more democratic decision making process

I'd wager that the democratic decision process in Switzerland is far more stringent and the public is far more involved.

On every level, be it a local tram line, a canton wide, or intra-cantonal rail system, or projects of national importance and great expense, like [1], the public is virtually always consulted via referendum and has to green light the project.

This is also a huge strength of the system. Because once a project is approved, the funds are secured and politicians can't pull shenanigans to pull, or divert funding.

I'd wager that a high democratic involvment into major (and expensive) projects is rather an asset, than a liability.

Kids will value what you compliment. If you compliment their smarts, they will simply work towards always being "the smartest guy in the room", and making everyone else in that room constantly aware of this in the most obnoxious way they can come up with. If you compliment their work they'll strive to get recognition for that instead, which is a way more functional attitude in the longer run!

The problem with Penn Station is not that they razed it. It’s that they built an cramped and gross underground station to replace it. If they had put in a modern glass and steel station in the lobby of a skyscraper, only architecture nerds would be complaining.
I answered this elsewhere, but... I think it is ideal to just exist without putting smartness on a scale. Smart is not an inherently good or bad thing IMO. It just is. What you do with "smart" matters, so we focus on doing and effort in my house, not on inherent capabilities. Also, maybe you as a person just don't want to do "smart" people jobs when you grow up? Probably you will, but if you are holding yourself to some standard it could set you up for years of unhappiness if you feel you are "wasting" your talents.
It's a very fun exercise when you are starting with PostScript... and indeed, unless you are familiar with Forth or any other stack based language, it's a big pain to write.

The code for the Mandelbrot set there is broken (due to googlecode dying), but I just moved from my local copy to a gist [2].

I'm not really seeing how something signed in the 70s is going to prevent France from repairing a devastated building, that is French to the core and located in the French capital, however they see fit. If they come out and say it makes sense to use non-flammable materials for the reconstruction (which would make sense), who in the world is going to stop them exactly? Notre Dame was already damaged by the fire (which this treaty couldn't prevent), and now it's about repairing it.

To add a little additional context: the prestigious school I was accepted to wasn't exactly highly known for the field I was going into, and with the reality of grade inflation at top-tier schools, I figured I might get a better, or at least more hard-nosed, you-better-work kind of experience at the state school.

I'll never be able to truly compare the two, but I know at my state school that I learned a lot, improved my ability to learn, and gained a lot in perseverance, not to mention made some great friends.

My friends generally did not have parents who worked at top Wall Street firms, were nationally-elected politicians, or were celebrities, and my friends generally were not going to work at the most high-paying, time-demanding, possibly-quality-of-life-shrinking companies/jobs. That's okay, because I don't want to do 80 or 100 hour work weeks, and I don't want the people around me encouraging that, because I want to experience a lot more to life than those kinds of work experiences. Nothing wrong with people who want that, but this route worked well for me.

Part of why it worked for me is because I was privileged enough to have parents who helped me understand myself and what I wanted out of life.
Am I the only one actively disliking this light fetish? Dunno about others, but the semi-darkness was crucial to the awe and spiritual depth & mystery that NDC made me feel when visiting it.

Otoh it's probably in line with over-lighting that I saw common at least in Paris lately - restaurants and caffees used so powerful lights that I wanted to wear sunshades inside. I mean... wtf?!

I get it that LED light allow you to flood everything with light at nighttime without spending too much electricity, and that glass and polycarbonate are cheap and easy to use, but... some of us love shade and semi-darkness and even actual darkness! Even phones and laptop screens are luminous now that you need to keep them at 50% or smth if you're not using them while sunbathing on the beach.

I almost wish I lived in a time where candle light was the only available source of illumination, and glass windows were too expensive to worth having them too big!
If you paid for the cards they inherently have value else they would be free...

> Seems like it would largely be restricted to the (relatively) rich and tech savvy

Yep, that's a problem.

> these people no longer reproducing and passing down the genetics which may have played a role in the success

Nope, that's not it.

Having money has very very little to do with genetics. Sure, you might have some genetic predisposition to being more ambitious, but how many people are ambitious, smart, and driven... but are still incredibly poor because they grew up in the wrong neighborhood or with the "wrong" color skin?

Even if you don't take it that far, the best way to get money is to inherit it. Having money is very cyclical: if you have it, it's easy to get more of it, and if you don't have it, it's easy to get less of it.
Medium used to allow custom domains. They no longer do.

Decades after the Chernobyl disaster, a worst case scenario, and the total number of people's health negatively impacted is well under 100k. I think it's safe to say that, regardless of the choice between "could" or "have", the number of lives impacted is relatively small (in the scale of power-generation related injuries and deaths).
They even used to (somewhat) recently. Rocket League (UE3) ran in linux.
Japanese companies may be good at certain things, but by far and large most companies I have seen in Japan are really, really bad at documenting and archiving what they do. They work like the past stuff has no value whatsoever.
Just adding on to this. The government funded research labs and DoD contractors I've had offers from have been seriously sad, which makes me concerned on the quality of their missions, personally. Also it's frustrating because I'd much rather work in that space. I'm a senior dev making ~140k and was just offered 80k in a higher cost of living to manage a team of 10 developers with TS clearance working on spy satellite imaging. I don't consider myself a particularly strong developer, so who is taking these jobs?
Good Question! Its not that other apps do not track lane patters and what not. They do.

For me, I find that tracking software is too much analytics and no real payoff. They are just lists of scores with not much meaning behind it. After a while, you forget why you've done a bad/good job. For me, when I make mistakes bowling, I just simply write down the note and store in my notepad on my cell. There I can write text notes for what's going on with myself.

Maybe a good solution for this frame of mind is to showcase users who have improved over time with your app. Of course, they would have to opt in for that, but that may sway someone like me to giving this software a go.

There's so much more in this space that you can do besides simple analytics.

I have a lot of ideas for this, but wouldn't want to bombard you with suggestions unless you're interested. I and am actually planning an web app and will start developing on it soon (have to finish another app first).

I will say that congratulation in gaining some traction on Reddit. Its hard to get the courage to list your project there, for the response can go either way. With you the best of luck with this.

AI is theoretically applicable to every facet of human interaction. I would expect it to diminish the value of almost every skill set over time. AI generates code, art, entertainment, news, etc. If anything I would expect a hard Computer Science degree founded in theory to be one of the last impacted by the growth of AI.
One alternative is to criminalize fantasizing about other people. Isn’t it gross that a person can create the likeness of another person in their mind and perform all sorts of sexual depravity with that unreal image? Absolutely disgusting and we need to do something about it.
for more samples go to the villages in the 30 km zone around Chernobyl- few people refused to evacuate and still live there at the very old age. Though I doubt they were ever exposed to such high levels of radiation as mentioned in the parent.

> I stopped playing stupid games and became a man.

Lol...lot's of men play games, stupid or otherwise, and it doesn't make them less of a man. Responsible men (and women) just know how to moderate. You seem to not be feeling particularly manly (whatever that is) in general, so you should probably try to do whatever you enjoy in moderation, and you will feel better about yourself.
Yeah, but it also is usually pretty obvious about what it is. That's hard to cover up.
I pay some attention to malaria rates, partly because I like to donate to the Against Malaria Fund[0], and these charts are fascinating to me because I usually just see the UN charts (the first chart in your link[1]). All the other charts on that page show deaths increasing until 2003, and then dropping. They're using IHME data.

Further down, at [2], they discuss why these charts are so different, pointing out that IHME was estimating roughly double the rates as the UN in Nigeria, DRC, and India due to "differences in methodology, data coverage and sourcing".

Cool, that's nice. But what happened in 2003 to turn this all around?

According to the IHME itself, "One of the biggest forces in the decline in malaria deaths was the advent of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GFATM), which provided 40% of development assistance for health targeted toward malaria from 2003 to 2008."[3]

So that's neat.

It's important for us to keep in mind that while aid often messed up terribly (especially in the late 20th Century), a lot of aid has been working really well for decades now. We figured out, for the most part, how to provide aid without it all going to funding corrupt governments, or destroying local agricultural economies.

Here's where I do a quick shill for The Against Malaria Foundation. They're very well-rated by Givewell[4], so if you want to stop malaria, I highly recommend giving them money. :-)

Kohn goes a long way further. Don't praise your children just for "working" hard either -- that's just encouraging them to seek your external validation.

Instead, help nurture your children's own curiosity, interest, and experience in the things that they do.

Stop treating them like lab rats to be conditioned with praise, because we know exactly what happens when that praise inevitably ceases.

This is how you never launch the damn thing. There is just no way to "upgrade any equipment" without introducing a tremendous amount of paperwork, additional testing, etc.
Which spelling?
On why we fear radiation
>nuclear accidents remind us of nuclear bombs and our vulnerability to them.

I disagree. I think we fear radiation because we know there is a lethal threat present but we can't individually detect it, like nerve gas or perhaps something like Ebola. It triggers our threat response without giving us a clear source for the danger, which causes the generalized fear.
