You are overcomplicating things. Every minute of drive time is Russian roulette with on average very low chances of losing.

The only thing that matters is the overall odds there is no inherent mathematical difference between the 2 scenarios.

There is no difference to prefer more likely death in common scenario to less likely death in a stupider scenario.

If you believe otherwise you ought to explicate with numbers.
Good find. So that diagram implies that they are in fact able to visualize the 3D scene in some fashion.
You'd be surprised, a lot of kids opt not to go the legacy route simply because that's where mom/dad went and they want to branch out. I'd say getting admitted has little correlation to success in school, anyway. Plenty of people fail out. To your last point, it would be nice if legacy/donor admits didn't cut into the number of offers extended to everyone else.
it would be more interesting to hear it without the violin in the background which appears to make it sound better than it is?
That's because you're thinking of human drivers whom are so slow to react that it is recommended they keep a whopping 2 or 3 seconds [0] worth of trailing distance to respond to changing road conditions like the person in front of you slamming on their breaks. The hypothetical clustering of self driving cars requires them to react at much faster times so they don't need to keep as much space between them.

I think it is crazy this was even attempted. The hazard of delayed firing is extreme, and there were so many other obvious solutions to the problem.

Probably the sanest fix is to put the guns out on the wings.

Firing through a center hole is possible, with the propeller on a hollow shaft. Pusher aircraft don't have the problem. Twin engine aircraft don't have the problem.
> “It is worth recalling that Ellis & Uzan (2005) gave a sobering review of serious conceptual problems one faces while trying to change the status of c in physics. In particular, they stressed that it is usually not consistent to allow a constant to vary in an equation that has been derived from a variational principle under the hypothesis of this quantity being constant. Therefore, one needs to go back to the Lagrangian and derive new equations after having replaced the constant by a dynamical field.”

The math is a bit out of my depth...did they go back to the Lagrangian and derive new equations after having replaced the constant by a dynamical field?
Any of your young and single googlers would probably decide to stay. California (in my experience) is a much more attractive place for 20-30 something’s than KC. They could most likely get a job with one of the many tech companies in the Bay.
Fantastic. I would not have thought that binary-tree-drawing could be such a complicated problem.
Slightly tangential but all I could think about while reading this was: Ansible. I switched to it about 6 months back - including for managing e.g. cron jobs and systemd - and I can’t imagine going back to doing any of this by hand. High-level abstraction and jinja2 templating makes this stuff a breeze.
The Snowden leaks suggested that they had not broken Tor, at the time of the leaks. There are "global passive adversary" timing correlation attacks which have had papers written about them and could conceivably be performed by some large intelligence agencies, especially if they cooperated with each other to do so, by using their power to observe country-scale network traffic.
Given 100 individuals who would have died in everyday accidents all would prefer a 99% chance of survival.

Given a population of a million all would prefer a 1 in a million chance of death under a semi to a 1 in 10k chance of being smeared in a more average fashion.

Your argument is the same one used against seat belts with people advocating a strictly inferior survival strategy to prevent a rare misadventure.
You have any idea what the current state is of neural networks and their practical use? Most work only in very predictable controlled environments. Once you add one new ingredient things will fall apart. A 'complex' ai currently has less than 100 different things to deal with. And you need a hell of a fast machine to simulate millions of gens. In case of a self driving car you need approximately 1.000.000.000 different inputs. If you would the Moore law to predict the moment we deal with that amount you would have to wait about 500 years.

Pretty routine now, and at my undergrad everyone used groupme, so it's even more widespread. Libraries let you book entire soundproof rooms with A/V. The libraries actually hit capacity pretty often and people commandeer classrooms. Go in any basement of a library in any college these days and you will see people scribbling organic synthesis reactions on whiteboards in front of a half dozen other people.

> The extremely simple and correct solution here is to not let index funds themselves vote. Only allow the votes to be cast directly by the index share holders. Problem solved, I don't know why people keep hand wringing about this and not suggesting the supremely obvious solution here.

This is somewhat addressed in the article. One of the criticisms is that index founds don't do enough, resulting in more power to the CEO and less oversight. Giving voting power to individual owners would reduce engagement even further, giving even more power to the CEO. There might be some ways to improve this (let investors transfer voting power to e.g. non-profit organisation who vote for them) it's unclear if this would not simply shift the problem

As a counterpoint, in the leadup and when Amazon announced their HQ2 in Northern Virginia, one thing they were very clear about is that no teams and no employees except some execs were going to actually get reassigned to the new location. All staffing at the new location would be via new hires at the new location. They knew full well that if they tried to move a team, most of the members of the team would transfer to a team that wasn't relocating, and that if they tried to prevent that the employees would just quit.

This argument has been made for decades.

Isn't it about time we realised that people live somewhere amongst social capital they have built up throughout their lives.

And therefore business capital should move where the people are - to avoid damaging that social capital. Not the other way around.

Ultimately people work to live. Those who live to work are a tiny minority.

With modern technology there is little excuse. Fewer and fewer enterprises require physical concentration to operate.

Not the author or related in any form. Maybe if this thing would be accepted as the verified proof it could back your claim when investing. Speed up the process a bit as you have immediate proof you have some form of worth.

Problem is of course a single net worth number says nothing about liquidity or any of the zillion other aspects that you would be required to prove in such a scenario. Unless the app business model diverts and becomes a tool investors can use for exactly that issue. I.e. It isn't a net worth tool anymore but a full investor guarantee/check thing. Not sure how that would work but for sure many investments end up in nightmares because it turns out the investor didn't have the actual money they claimed to have to invest.
Sign stealing is a part of baseball since forever (i.e. with a runner on second, like you mentioned). That's not the problem with what Houston did. They used a camera in the outfield to steal the signs, which is against the rules. They are the only team where there is evidence this happened and they only did it the year they won the World Series, so yeah, that seems like it made a difference.

As a Pirates fan, I feel you about the salary issue, but everyone is playing by the same rules, so it's not cheating for a team to spend more. It's a pretty orthogonal issue.

As far as I understand it, rent seeking means increasing your share of existing wealth without creating any in the process. Raising rent generally on physical properties is one way of doing that, as is mucking about with government to get tax dollars and whatnot coming your way.

As I see it, governments themselves are often rent seeking operations. By increasing taxes, they increase their share of the wealth of the nation, and depending on how that money is used, it could very well be considered rent seeking. Usually the term is used for business sectors interacting with government to get those tax dollars, but I don't think that's the only valid use.

Yes because USA Vs the world will have USA as a winner (if this is what you imply) which is 5yo thinking. EU although it still going through some growing pains, appears to be far more mature than today's USA, which is burning bridges and building walls (I mean figuratively). If/as the planet continues to decrease its dependency to USD then the might will decrease further with it. USA has the No1 debt on this planet. I don't see any other countries of that size going bust and needing to print new money every other year because they cannot afford to run their states. I am using this childish and realistic example so you include that in your thought process.

As for the army, EU is in the process of considering/designing an EU army, since the "US hegemony" seems to be in deep .... with USA's latest leadership. And thank you for speeding up this process.

This may be naive, but I would assume better results from the strategy of engineering the bacteria rather than the chloroplasts/mitochondria. The latter are massively conserved, efficiently coded, and take a long time to iterate along with the host. Bacteria evolve quickly and we have great tools for engineering them. The right variants might already exist naturally; you just need to find a selection mechanism. Alternatively, perhaps getting the crop to express the symbiotic byproduct of legumes might be simpler. Does anybody have insight as to why the Voigt lab chose to do it that way?

personally i don't see how the EU can expand without major reform.

countries like Poland and Romania are strong Nato allies looking in horror at Germany and France cozying up to Putin. the US simply expected the two western countries to pay up. they preferred to pay Russia instead.

That's a nice question. It's not that obvious extreme for me though.

You could use sc and GNU plot (I know... GNU's not Unix). Simple example:

- first you configure your plot

$ echo "set terminal png\nset output 'plot.png'\nplot '/dev/stdin' with lines" > plotcfg.plg

- then you create a spreadsheet and pass it to gnuplot. It's easier to edit the spreadsheet with sc's TUI

$ echo 'let A0 = 1\nlet B0 = 8\nlet A1 = 2\nlet B1 = 16\nlet A2 = 3\nlet B2 = 32\n' | sc -W '%' - | gnuplot plotcfg.plg

Sugiyama has layers and can be used for trees just as well (and may give nicer results for almost-trees than removing non-tree edges and routing them individually).

Autopilot is at most evidence that human-machine systems are better than just human drivers. Throughout its history "autopilot" had many cases where the human saved its ass and quite a few where it managed to kill the human anyway.
Yes, but what we are missing is a platform[1] where I can join a random convoy going the same direction than me. And pay something for the lead car or offer myself as a lead car in case I feel like driving and earning some money. This would be in startup territory for me that would deserve more VC money than autonomous technology. At least just now.

[1] I assume also some regulatory developments for this are missing in addition to platform and universal tech kit for private cars. In case such platform already exists and all regulatory hurdles have been tackled, then I miss only widespread adoption and marketing...

Do we really need GMO for this though? The EU is more or less self-sufficient[0] without GMO production.
It is true it relies on GM imports (soy, rice) but it also exports a ton of other stuff.

I am not against GM crops, but I'm not unconvinced they are the only option.

Africa is (was? I'm not up to date) a net food importer, but it has crop yields 5 times lower then US/EU/Asia, which could also be improved by other means such as better land management.

For 5, usually a pitcher and catcher will through multiple signs with a runner on second to scramble the signal, and usually you don’t get enough pitches in to determine which sign is real. With the aid of a camera, the Astros were getting these signals very quickly even though teams were suspicious and using “runner on second” signs against them often.
Yeah there is a saying that goes something like:

"If you think some organizations are bad, wait until you see some of the customers."
I think it was the approach that a former ally (Ukraine) would open up the door to NATO/USA and Russia didn't like having a USA naval base right on its doorstep, and losing control of the Black Sea. There may already be USA'S military bases nearby (Romania, Bulgaria, etc) but not THAT close.
