I'm in the UK, with the NHS. There's already government funded fertility treatment and government funded sterilisation. I imagine much of Europe enjoys similar. Doesn't seem that untouchable. :p

Population shrinkage will be a rounding error in the face of climate. We already had the AQ9 oil company document from 1980 on the front page today. That predicts the end of all economic growth by 2025. Sure they might be a out by a decade or so, but not a bad guess for 40 years ago! Growth has been trending down for decades. Think about that. Recession becomes the normal state of things. A downturn tips into a major depression if you start at recession.

Understanding the underlying structure is key. And the significance of structure -- the ability to see it, understand it, and re-create it -- has been recognized and pointed out by Feynman [1] and some of the world's best programmers [2]. Using data-structure representations that best match reality's underlying structure may be key too. With this in mind I had a thought -- a "dopey idea" in the Steve Jobs to Jony Ive sense of the word [3] -- the brain doesn't do backprop [4] -- at least not directly (as far as we know) -- but neural nets using backprop/gradient-descent work pretty well. Why so?

What if the underlying structure these nets are modeling isn't the brain but something else...maybe something more fundamental...like the curvature of spacetime, a path integral representation of information, or some other crude representation of an underlying quantum structure. And if so, what if learning is just the brain optimizing itself in accordance with this structure, and has this idea been explored before? Evidently it has. The idea of the brain as a quantum information processor has been explored to some degree in holonomic brain theory [5].

It may not be a common case, but there should be places where oversized homes can be divided into two units for a modest cost. Have to plumb in a second kitchen, redo some of the electrical, etc... but maybe cheaper than building a whole new house from scratch, especially if permitting on new construction is an obstacle. It needs a lot of custom engineering for every house though, which is expensive.

In the end you'd probably have to set it up as the world's smallest condo for tax and maintenance purposes.

I think nuclear weapons are a good example of how dangerous technology isn't a choice. When other parties have the ability to advance a technology, you no longer have the option of ignoring it. We can't put that cat back in the bag, and now we live in a world where an accident risks killing billions of people.

As technology advances, we run the risk that the strategic calculus changes in favour of one party pre-emptively attacking the others.

Not at all. SEOs are more likely to find all the ways you're currently hanging yourself. Some common examples I see are:

- Putting important text inside of images

- Duplicate content out the wazoo

- Not making use of canonicals

- No sitemaps, html or xml

- Page performance issues

- Broken mobile support

And of course, poor content. You can't rank if you don't have content.

Apparently when Norway found oil, they were blessed with a government that was both honest and farsighted, noted the effect of the resource curse in other countries, called in a consultant from the Middle East who had seen it firsthand, and set up a system that carefully firewalled the oil money to mitigate its corrupting influence. I'm not clear on exactly how the firewall works, but people who understand it better than I do, have credited it with Norway still being a great place to live today.
Beauty is in the eye or the beholder.

If people want a beautiful place to live enough they will pay for it. Thus the concern means that you are wrong: people do not agree with your ideas of beauty (remember, this is competing concerns: they may like it, but not enough to pay for it)

+7 years experience working at startups; generalist and team player.
I was thinking more about composition than application. Thankfully, I just remembered that you can use Hoogle to search by type signature so I popped in (a -> b) -> (b -> c) -> a -> c and it directed me to (.>) which is exactly what I was thinking of in the flow package.

Flow seems like an interesting package to check out if I ever go and start using Haskell seriously.
It's amateur-looking because it's research - they're iterating on a new idea.

Hi, My name is Ousmane Seidy Diallo, I am a Full Stack and DevOps engineer with 6+ years experience.

This is a good 3-4 days of constant train travel to get to the destination. The thing I'm complaining about is that the plane is almost too fast for what I want to use it for, while the train is incredibly slow.

It would be cool if there were a way for me to leave Seattle on Sunday night and arrive in Chicago on Monday morning having gotten a full night of sleep.
Depends on where you live. If you are in a historical protected neighborhood of a city someone definitely will tell you what color and type of roof shingles you need to buy.
Indeed it's subsidised, IIRC "about half" is a decent ballpark figure. This is worth bearing in mind when people complain about Ryanair getting not-full-price landing spots, not paying road tax, or whatever.

Tourists pay 25% VAT on everything, so it's not like they pay no taxes. I think literally having to prove residence (or citizenship? or tax-residence?) sounds like the sort of bureaucratic hell I'd rather not encounter at the ticket machine. But note that some countries find a way, e.g. Switzerland has 50% discount cards which are far too expensive to make sense for tourists, but make it cheaper for locals.

City transport is a different game, and harder to calculate down to individual levels -- you need all those 10%-full 11pm trams so that people can get home, on some days.
Fun facts:

- Japan learned modern whaling (and bought ships/tools) from Norway, over 100 years ago

- Norway's last catch of Minke whales (the only whales they hunt, supposedly) was about 1,052, out of an estimated ~100,000.

- Japan has recently hunted a variety of threatened and endangered species, such as Beaked, Minke, Bryde's, Sei, Northern Fin, Humpback, Sperm, Western Gray, and North Pacific Right.

- A significant percentage of whales caught are by-catch of other fishing operations, which critics claim is often intentional.

- Since 1988, Japan has caught 16,323 whales through "Special Permit Catches".

- The research group that does the whaling gets its funding from the Japanese government, and Kyodo Senpaku, the company that processes and markets the whale meat.

- The International Court of Justice declared in 2014 that Japan's whaling was not for any scientific purpose.

From these facts, I gather that the problem is that Norway is catching a "reasonable" amount of whales that are not threatened, and that Japan was catching endangered and threatened species in large numbers and lying about the intention behind it.

In the perfectly spherical Agile world, yes.

In practice, for anything that's new, your project devolves into a set of spikes for development because your time-boxed investigation leaves unknown unknowns everywhere. Which is fine in that perfectly spherical Agile world, but it makes less-than-perfectly-spherical stakeholders very upset that they are not getting to use the Agile stick to beat over their developers' heads, as they have been trained to do.

Not so sure medicine is afraid to use the word "nuclear".

According to the article, they give up to $20K for an LNG car. That's quite a subsidy, if it's not a Google Translator screw-up. I was going to say that electrics shouldn't be subsidized at all (because that'd just be subsidizing the rich), but the amount of subsidy changes my position: with a $20K subsidy something like Nissan Leaf becomes quite affordable.

> While intelligent behaviours appear to reside in the cortex, the limbic system is heavily involved in learning and cognition generally.

We understand the limbic system to process motivation and emotion; could the limbic system's activation during cognition not be "explained away" by it being recruited to process the emotional or motivational aspects of sensory or memory data? (Just like how there is visual cortex recruitment when using visual imagination, etc.)
I traveled from NY to LA via train with one planned stop-over. We had coach seats which were a little less expensive than air travel, so it's not really worth doing unless you're in it for the experience of it.

It was an enjoyable experience tough, and we'd probably do it again on another route. While it would have been nicer to have a sleeper, the coach seats were pretty comfortable.
My arguments are my own. I am an atomic physicist, and I meaningfully and usefully manipulate coherent quantum states every day. Not for making a quantum computer mind you, but quantum states nonetheless. Quantum mechanics works. The atoms do exactly what the Schrödinger equation says they should, however much entanglement is added. We are yet to see it break down. Plenty of my colleagues are working on quantum computers, with atoms, ions, photons, and solid state systems, and from where I stand it doesn't look like nonsense. It looks steady progress, and if there are insurmountable barriers, they have not yet been encountered.

I am not certain that quantum computers are possible, but I am certain that you are wildly overconfident that they are not.
How much of this is the AI doing work and how much of it is the author cherrypicking 20 names out of 1000? I still think it's remarkably impressive that an AI can do this, but it's good to put it into perspective.
