>the ability to think and do what you want is valued as an important individual right that each person is entitled to, regardless of whether it's good or bad for society as whole.

At one point in life I'd have agreed with you. Now I can't agree with this at all. Usually the West wants very specific kinds of freedom; the kinds which are useful for social control. The first amendment may remain in the US as a sort of residual idea from classical liberalism, but it seems not too many people actually want this.
No, ATC radar systems are not accurate enough to show such a small offset and also don't update fast enough. You could probably write an algorithm to have a computer check it, but the controller in the tower will not notice because this is less than 1 pixel on their screen.
Did you take more than two seconds to think that through? If that was a compelling argument, everyone would believe in numerology because everyone that calls themselves a numerologist agrees that numerology is real.

Same for psychics, priests, and on and on.
>The way to overcome pain is to acknowledge and include it instead of denying it.

Publicly? It's one thing to be denial, it's another to acknowledge it to yourself but still elect not to engage in a public display of this. The strongest men I've ever met were not in denial of their emotional state but didn't need to engage in public displays like those listed in the article.

Please explain to me how Google makes money by keeping them on their search site. Google's revenue comes from ads. Not from the few link ads on their search site but from ads on other people's websites. Google has a strong incentive to make people click on those news article links, because it's behind the link they are making money.
> Prostitution is legal around here for a while so general labor laws apply (...)

Like protection from unwanted and unsolicited sexual attention in the work space?

It's something that's pretty common in labour protections - but also highlights how prostitution is different from other forms of "wage slavery".
I once tried to speed up a transaction and got a cashiers check. Only to find out that a hold was placed on it because it slightly was more than typical for the account. The hold was for 7 business days which turned out to be 2 weeks (it was a Friday). Of course they couldn’t reverse the hold not giving me back the check. I said ‘don’t you think people will start walking around with cash if you keep doing this’ - they said yes, cash would be faster. Meanwhile spacex is building starship. And Suntrusts wire fees are $60 last time checked and take an hour to complete (in the branch because you pay extra to have that as an online feature). Also, did you ever try to amend a wire transfer because of a misspelled letter? That’s a procedure. What a waste of capital in a digital age.
> Google has an incentive to have people click on links.

This is true only insofar as it incentivizes people to come to Google in the first place. If Google can directly provide the information that the user is looking for, then it gains no benefit from sending the user elsewhere instead.

> Why does the state have a role to play in a transaction between two consenting adults? The only sensible argument would be that the state has a role only insofar as consent is in question

Because that is fundamentally the purpose of government. Roughly, to intrude in the decisions of individuals in order to generate a safer and more prosperous life for everyone in general. A civilization is more than a collection of individuals.

Consent can be coerced, scammed, misinterpreted, hard to prove afterwards, etc. And individual actions have consequences beyond the individual because of human traits like envy and greed. So, government attempts (should attempt) to take all these factors and many more into consideration while creating regulation and enforcement structures that work around those problems.

We land visually all the time. Especially in the US it is super common to be cleared for a visual approach, because it increases the runway capacity (can fly closer together if you can see the plane ahead and follow them).

You would have the ILS (or GPS based approach) as a backup on your screens to verify. If what you see out the window does not match the systems, you stop the approach, climb, take some time to "debug" and then try again.
Intel used ARC CPUs in the Intel ME before Skylake, a several generations descendant of the one designed by Argonaut. Its used a few other places in IoT-land as well. ARC is a well understood architecture that is easy to modify for individual customers, and can be fabbed anywhere.

Another interesting CPU that made its way around was the family that the SPC700 (SNES) and SPC1000 (PS1) audio DSPs belong to. They've shown up in a few embedded devices that needed to do audio work, such inside of AVRs and other similar devices.
Even with Uber, the number of people who flit between cities around the world in a regular basis is fairly small. I travel quite a bit, including globally, and I don’t really use Uber much.

The Switch is "just" an Nvidia Shield, albeit not running android. The carts are your standard mask ROM on a (proprietary) bus manufactured by Macronix and so would not be able to extend the functionality in a meaningful way.

>Doesn't that then stand that you need to qualify the backing of the rest of the scientific community, then qualify the backing of those backing the backing,

Nope. Once you’ve there is backing from fields that you already trust experts in, then you can be relatively sure that the field is following scientific methods closely, etc.

>a whole line of science which until this point hasn't been controversial

Any science that makes predictions on complex systems without the ability to run tightly controlled experiments is pretty controversial to many in hard sciences. To see why: see social psychology for an example of a field filled with trash.

>I very much doubt you considered all of climate science a hack science until it started to butt up against your personal beliefs.

I very much doubt you read my comment if you think this has anything to do with my beliefs. I was pointing out a fallacious argument from authority that holds zero weight to people who don’t believe that authority.

If saying that 99% of climatologists agree was enough to settle the argument, it would be enough for 99% of police to agree that police abuse isn’t a problem.
It is the result of a stroke. Small to moderate strokes can result in an array of fairly specific impairments.

Congenital malformations could conceivably do the same, but likely brain plasticity at an early age can compensate for missing tissue in many cases. It might explain certain learning disabilities.
I don't understand how those public company people come with such estimates.

I asked some, tried to wrap my mind around of what they sad, but I still don't understand them.

Basically it's wildly convoluted guess based on looking what companies already doing a similar thing is valued. In the end, it usually ends up by people doing the this line of work calling their peers on an anonymously bought sim card, and asking for how much they will buy it for.

I think, it is stupid

The market value for waymo now is $20b based on google price. The analyst target is 105b. If they succeed according to the cash flow model the analyst came up with. Which is, of course, horse shit as all analyst models are, and you don't need to be a rocket scientist to notice that they have no monetizable technology at present and are unlikely to in the time frames they 've boasted about in the past (aka we were supposed to be at level-5 two years ago).

FWIIW you can look at the market price as a probabilistic prediction as to whether waymo will succeed to the analysts expectations; about 1 in 5 chances, discounted by long term rates. Seems about right to me.

This is not simply a matter of social science being soft. This was caused by exactly 1 thing: researchers not releasing the code they write or use. Their code was bad, and it produced an incorrect result. There is probably TONS of this in research from the past 30 years, and most of it goes uncaught because, for some insanely unwise reason, the scientific community has tolerated researchers keeping their procedures, tools, and experimental processes secret... but only when software is involved.

Science isn't just a matter of what people believe. It often gets considered when governments create policy. Bad science can kill millions. I've run into many 'bugs' in the algorithm descriptions published in computer science and mathematics papers, I shudder to think what the code backing nontechnical research is like.
Again: Google's revenue comes from ads. Those ads are not on their search site. They are on the sites people click. How can you still believe, Google has no benefit from sending people to those sites?!

Second, in most cases those previews are too small to provide the information the user was looking for.

Your argument is based on false assumptions.
Yeah that makes sense, thanks!
If they define themselves as a real estate company that has a website, sure, use a PHP framework.

If they define themselves as a technology company, which I believe they do, and they want lots of complex features for their services, and set an exorbitant valuation on that basis, then they better have the right infrastructure for that.

What's so wrong about it? They are doing it basically because they can. They have a source of culturally similar people from much poorer neighboring countries: Ukraine and Belarus.

That's the only approach that strikes as a credible way forward, in the long run. Especially so, when the research is taxpayer-funded.

Actually, I felt your argument was not based on the academic definition of a currency, but rather on "a central bank said so in a Twitter thread".

The arguments that people usually make about Bitcoin not fitting the legal definition of money are ill-conceived because they are semantic. Apparently, money is: a means of exchange, a store of wealth, a unit of account. It is clearly all of that to some people, so it undoubtedly fits the definition. But just because it fits into the academic definition of money, doesn't it can't be considered an asset. It fits the definition of an asset as well. Coincidentally, Wikipedia says about the term asset: "It covers money [...] belonging to a business or person".

Of course, now we are talking about money, not currency? What's the difference between money and currency?

These are all very interesting questions for linguists. But if you want to have an actual argument about something other than semantics, your discussion has to be grounded in why you care about one term or the other being applied.

Can we go back to basic principles and all agree that psychology and social studies are not true sciences anyways?

Science is to me something where you extract natural laws that predict phenomena will occur 100% of the time given certain conditions. Physics, chemistry, computer science, most branches of medicine operate this way.

A field like psychology that says "well sometimes people will..." or "we found in 60% of cases that..." is not science. It's a comment upon society maybe, but it does not produce broadly repeatable, predictable results.

Not true science.
Everything can be summarised in just a headline, including your or my life. But I doubt your life can be explained in just a thumbnail or headline.
If a research does not release the code used in their research, their papers should not be trusted. We wouldn't trust a paper where the researchers hid their experimental methods or analysis - it wouldn't even be allowed to be published. But if their experimental methods or analysis are done in code, those parts are allowed to be a black box and we're supposed to trust them. If we were willing to just trust them, there wouldn't even be a peer review process and it certainly wouldn't deserve the imprimatur of 'science'. This has been a problem for years, and I will personally not be the least bit surprised if we eventually see a death toll attached to it.

Self-driving for some value of most conditions seems inevitable but you’re probably looking at different use cases maturing over decades.

The main wild card IMO is that general purpose self-driving turns out to be really hard and it’s cheaper for those with money to just hire drivers even after self-driving becomes technically viable. That’s dystopian though and there’s not much economic history to support the idea.

Fusion seems iffier in the sense that other energy sources/techs just turn out to be better in one or more ways.

You should look up WTO statistics sometimes. Who has substantially more complaints from the global trade community [1]? Who imposes the highest number of protectionism policies [2]? Hint: it's not China. There's no reason to believe USTR reporting, or much government reporting when it comes to geopolitics to be unbiased. Especially under this administration. During a tradewar no less. This isn't about obeying the rules. It's about the reigning cheater stacking the deck against an upcoming cheater while pretending their own hands are clean. China's ascension to WTO was inevitable despite US being one of the last hold outs [3]. An emerging great power and the largest exporter responsible for driving substantial global growth should get a say in the rules. That's just common sense. China maybe revisionist but it also has't been in a large shooting war in 40 years, that's a good direction to revise towards.
