> Think about it, if not a single one of the politicians, inventors, scientists, or really any plain regular person would have existed.

The world would look more-less the same.

We like to ascribe inventions to lone brilliant geniuses, but the truth is, inventions are made on schedule. Whenever the "time is right", all the necessary preconditions are met, someone makes the invention. Usually multiple people simultaneously, but we tend to credit the first one that manages to tell the world about it. In our timeline, relativity is attributed to Einstein, but if a time traveller killed him when he was a child, someone else would still have published more-less the same thing around 1905. Maybe some time later.

Similar things seem to apply to economies too. People predominantly follow incentives, and those don't tend to flip randomly.

So if you traveled back in time a hundred years and thrown a rock at a random squirrel, the world today might be populated by completely different set of actors, but the scene would be roughly the same.
The only real difficulty with Cities is in managing the logistics once your city gets to an extreme scale. Otherwise it's much more about aesthetic and maximizing efficiency than overcoming obstacles.

Old Pharaoh style city builders certainly have a good deal more challenge when it comes to survival, but they're quite discrete and once you have a few templates for housing and industry nailed down I don't think they have much more difficulty to offer either.

I recently put forward the idea there's enough music in the world already[1] because millions of songs on Spotify have never been heard[2]. And of those millions of unheard songs, many are probably not by musicians but by "poseurs" who don't care about the craft of songwriting.

Perhaps we need something like Astronaut for Spotify?

One nice thing which didn't automatically occur to me, is that a nuclear fission reactor on Mars would be comparatively cheap to build. You don't need any radiation shielding at all. Just walk away and turn it on. Have it produce methane and oxygen or electricity or both.

I've pondered making a video game based off Word2Vec.

Still, I'd love to see it tried.

Intel Executive: Rein in Data Brokers
I thought article is well written and explains interesting mechanics that professional authors face. The core insight is that all you need is a tribe of few hundred people paying $10/mo if you want to make living out of your writings. However constructing such a tribe requires producing serious long-form high-value content as opposed to something that people will be amused by a short piece and immediately move on to next random amusing short piece. Counterintuitively, the goal isn’t to reach largest possible audience but the most serious audience which might be pretty small. You want your content to be valuable enough that people would be willing pay by their cold hard cash as opposed to pay by their attention. In this model knowing and connecting with your tribe members deeply is also important.

The author argues that Medium attempts to imitate all-you-can-eat model of Spotify and Netflix but for written text. This model depends on grabbing attention as much as possible by random stream of articles each providing small dopamine hit instead of providing long term value to determined readers who are willing to put in work to digest complex long-form content. Currently they also don’t allow you to connect back to your followers. This means it’s hard to build tribe of serious audience, forced to write simple attention grabbing short pieces and depend on vitality lottery/luck factor to get paid.
I haven’t but I could. The part where colds turn into pneumonia is due to a congenital issue (a surgically fixed EA+TEF) so that’s probably hard to do anything about except growing, but if the initial viral infection could be stopped that would be good. My saying trick for preventing colds currently is normally a lot of saying e.g “no! don’t lick elevator buttons!”

The North Pole doesn't have any land, and a blue water summer in the Arctic ocean is likely within 4-10 years. And, high Arctic lands also DO NOT NEED MORE TREES BECAUSE THAT WOULD HASTEN TUNDRA COLLAPSE. A Russian scientist proposed deforesting Siberia to convert it to grassland tundra using large herds of hybrid mammoth-elephants in order to eliminate trees that keep arboreal tundra from hard freezing in the winter which hastens its destruction in the summer. https://pleistocenepark.ru/

A better solution would include many overlapping approaches for a holistic strategy, including iron fertilization of the oceans and bio-energy with carbon capture and sequestration (BeCSS).

Furthermore, the best anti-desertification solutions must include extremely large, managed herds of browsing animals like goats to restore soil health. There was a TED talk on this. https://www.ted.com/talks/allan_savory_how_to_green_the_worl...

Neural Implant Sends Camera Feed into Blind People’s Brains
I hesitate to call charity outright "immoral", but it gives me the uneasy feeling that it does not really solve any deep problem. I'm sure most people do it in good faith, and it may be especially educative to do it in front of children (e.g., when you help a homeless person in the street).

I still think the need for charity is the hallmark of a deeply broken welfare system. In that situation, the person giving and the person receiving charity become happier, but this is a very limited effect and only servers to fool yourself that the problem is not solvable so you just do what you can. I pretty much prefer to vote for left wing policies that will raise the taxes and then everybody will get to be happier.
Not really, any expectations here are unsupported by C standards. Compiler is, by spec, allowed to do anything here.
They don’t need all IT in one service but the web shop needs at least a view of accounts, inventories and so on. That db can be a cached view which means it behaves as a single db with staleness issues (changed passwords or preferences may be stale, you may be able to add things to a cart that appears to be in stock but really is out of stock in the true inventory etc.).

It’s better to have such a poorly working illusion of a single db than to have no such illusion at all which means having to log in multiple times etc.
You see this is because the new generations expect to rent ....

In theory this model makes sense for a lot of textbooks, in practice I suspect the price difference between buying and renting for a year won't be that big at all.

You'd probably be surprised how many GC'ed languages actually avoid the whole tagged/boxed variable thing in pursuit of the performance benefits. ocaml for example is limited to 30bit ints for this reason, the haskell standard only guarantees 30bits from the 'Int' implementation for this reason.

As I said further down this thread though, it's a 'speed' thing, not memory storage thing, the common belief is that boxing is slow, because it was slow in java, but in reality boxing is a) a mostly acceptable trade-off that only loses out in extreme cache-limited situations, and b) something that could be optimised away anyway.

Try cranking up the replay speed. I usually listen at 1.5x - 2x. Every now and then I'll hit a great book with a good narrator and slow down to listen.

I'm really no expert. I guess the iron core of the earth is too big to be feasibly replaced by asteroids "crashing" on mars.

I'd further guess that it would be easier to do the same with some sort of electromagnetic field. To enclose the whole planet would also be a giganteous undertaking. Much easier would be local field generators on the surface, maybe powered by a fusion generator.

At best this would be centuries in the future, at worst this doesn't make sense at all because it would require less energy/resources to construct huge greenhouses/domes that achieve the same thing and more.

The more immediate obstacles to colonizing Mars seem to be getting there in the first place, getting enough stuff there on a permanent/continuing basis for a few dozen people to live there for a few years, including radiation shielding.

It would be a really long time until there is a financially self-sustaining "colony", let alone one that can produce all of its own foods and much of its own technology and other resources. I figure it will be centuries until people even think about anything terraforming-related seriously.
This isn't true. It's actively _weird_ that some people insist it's true. Most businesses are set up for some actual reason and their founders weren't thinking "I wonder how I can get lots of money given I have no ethical precepts whatsoever"

My current CEO has actually ranted about this at some length, that he'll run into people in the same game (startup founders pitching for investment or to find early customers) and some of them really do think the point of what they're doing is to get money. What is the _money_ for, idiots? Did you just really want lots of pictures of the Queen? No? Then your whole ethos is pointless busywork.

Even people who have a goal that I think is silly, like Musk's colony on Mars, at least that's actually a goal. You can look at things and say "That helps with the goal" (e.g. re-usable launch vehicle) or "That does not help" (e.g. accusing random people who disagree with you on twitter of being criminals).

If you just need to buy food and pay rent then, fine, whatever, work for the psychopath business that is just acquiring money for no discernible purpose. But if you've got to a point where you can pick, go find a business that has a purpose you at least mostly agree with.
Growing up I was often nervous of accidentally purchasing something in an app store or other online accounts. Free trials will not always notify you when your free trial is up and your payments will automatically go through.

This is what can happen for the person who is Memory Hack Review treated with neurofeedback therapy for ADD/ADHD. Not only is it possible that their ADD/ADHD may become a distant memory letting them move on with their life without the stress that often accompanies this condition but they may actually become smarter as well. Picture the person with ADD/ADHD being able to wake up in the morning knowing that their day is finally going to be like everyone else's thanks to the way their brain now works; this would be very exciting for them and could lead to a whole new lifestyle.

Is Neurofeedback Better than Medications?

In many cases it truly is. The reason for this can best be illustrated by quoting an old proverb "If you give a man a fish you feed him for a day. But if you teach him how to fish he will eat for the rest of his life." Using neurofeedback for ADD/ADHD is like teaching someone how to fish; if you can teach the patient how to control their brainwaves and thought patterns you have taught them something that will help them for the rest of their lives.

Prescription medication on the other hand is much like handing them a fish; you only feed the person for one day. Tomorrow you will have to feed them another fish and so on day after day. The symptoms only abate as long as the patient continues to take their medication. When they stop the symptoms return. The worst part of this is the continued risk of succumbing to the side effects of many of these medications. In the end the choice is yours. Do you take a pill with side effects to treat your ADD/ADHD for the remainder of your life or do you make use of neurofeedback therapy for ADD/ADHD and treat the cause of your condition enabling you the possibility of long lasting symptom reduction?

Another method used in controlling ADHD is EEG training. This method according to studies has proven to be efficient in increasing attention among ADHD patients.
Proper diet and nutrition is also of high value in controlling symptoms of ADHD.

Technically you are correct, in the sense that they do not crawl the web like Google or Bing do. But from a user perspective, they do provide a very useful service of aggregation, discovery and comparison of structured data that is way more effective than using Google search queries, if you know the type of information you are looking for.
