I'd consider something by John Stillwell. For example, Numbers and Geometry, which investigates the connections between number theory and plane geometry -- two subjects which your child has probably seen, but not seen related.

Stillwell is a magnificent writer -- he loves to go on digressions, and to talk about the history of the subject. My impression is that his books are a bit rambling for traditional use as textbooks, but perfect for self-motivated reading for exactly the same reason. He makes the subject fun.

(Disclaimer: I haven't read this book in any sort of depth, but I have read another of Stillwell's books cover to cover.)

Concerning your other recommendations: The Princeton Companion to Mathematics is magnificent, but in practice it's something he'd be more likely proudly own and display on his bookshelf than to read; it's quite dense. Spivak's Calculus, from what I've heard, is magnificent. Probably best in the context of a freshman honors class, but I can imagine that someone disciplined could love it for self-study. Don't know Moor and Mertens.

At least US has a healthy justice system as the last line of defense.

The HK justice system is compromised. There is an injunction that forbids anyone to reveal police officers and their family members’ information, in the name of fighting against doxxing. For some time, the media couldn’t reveal the name of any cops, even if they were being investigated for their own crime and appear in court (now allowed). [0]

The drug trafficking charge against the daughter of a cop was recently dismissed by the Department of Justice, as if qualified immunity extends to cop’s family members. [1]

The justice system was eroded further by the National Security law. A pro-Beijing legislator recently claimed that media may violate the law by covering police brutality. [2]

Even before the law was passed, two journalists were charged for “rioting” and may face 10-year imprisonment for covering protestors’ storming of the Legislative Council last year. [3]

Until US has a similarly broken justice system that goes after the media to hide police brutality, it can never match HK.

Social media is not the government, and has no obligation to maintain free speech. That said, social media has big problems.

The biggest is that they have, quite intentionally, encouraged the spread of outrage and mob mentality all across the political spectrum. These companies have installed levers for manipulating their users emotionally, and these levers are for sale. You can even fiddle around for free if you have the time, or get (un)lucky!

Oppressive PC culture, that can manifest as an almost Puritanical form of moral authority, spreads quick on social media. As someone who grew up in conservative, small-town America (and rebelled against it every chance I got), I'm not about to have my opinions dictated to me by the new boss either.

If your social sphere is mostly composed of middle & upper class, highly educated professionals, you might just feel surrounded by PCness. If you have any connection to the white poor and/or rural however, you also know that right-wing authoritarianism and racism are boiling too, with lethal results. As far as PC culture can be viewed as a defensive response to racism, I think it is clearly the lesser of the two evils, but it's probably a false dichotomy.
Right - in a few of the earlier videos you see him saying he is taking time off to go be a bosun or something and save up some cash.

> If the pilots still attempted to land then it is on them.

It is on them regardless. ATC performed badly, and it blew one or two chances to say something that might have saved the day, but it was the pilots who actually caused the accident, through their own free choices of action - nothing that ATC did influenced their decision-making (quite the opposite, in fact.) ATC deserves criticism and blame, but it is different in kind to that which belongs to the pilots.

tl;dr on the significance of discovery of this historical site: Up until that point, we have been thinking humans have built places of worship after they've settled down and started to grow crops. However, Gobekli Tepe was a pretty complex temple (most of it is thought not yet seen the daylight yet) built in hunter-gatherer era.

So in a way, it rewrote our assumption of ordering of some of the historical milestones in the history of humanity. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6bekli_Tepe#Chronologica... I've personally visited it last summer and it was pretty cool.

What test would you perform to distinguish whether a ML model is pattern matching or 'intelligent'?
This was my experience trying to work with the Johns Hopkins COVID data.

I don't know if Johns Hopkins became the canonical data source because they were amongst the first to have public data and charts, but honestly I was kinda surprised at the low quality, coming from a group called "Center for Systems Science and Engineering". Their data was far harder to use than it needed to be, even months into the pandemic.

Fortunately there were a handful of other projects dedicated to making it sane and resolving the inconsistencies, unreconciled changes in format, etc... that was really helpful.

I got Spivak as a first Calculus book and it felt a bit over my head, but if one already has some knowledge and appreciation of analysis, it'd be a great gift.
This is such a great idea. In Vietnam I stayed in a few AirBNB's that were 20 floor buildings: the bottom floor was grocery, gym, bank, restaurants, and the top floors were all residential, with pools on the very top floor of one swanky place. I'm seeing this in Seattle and Portland, too. Converting malls to residential has huge potential for all-in-one living.
Hardware security. These devices should have been built from day 1 with the idea that they would eventually need to be retired from service. They could be designed to self-destruct their own memories if a certain signal is not received within a certain timeframe. Procedures would be built around this such that cameras would need to be periodically checked-in for audit and refresh of the hardware kill timer. If an officer fails to check in a certain camera (presumably with the intent to expire the hardware timer), you could assume malicious intent and have whatever arbitrary penalties to discourage this behavior. Set the timer at 48~72 hours and it would be virtually impossible for even the most sophisticated attacker to physically breach the HSM in time for extraction of the data/symmetric key.

Combine this with a PKI and you should then have a solid solution. If you want maximum traceability, you could throw in LTE or satellite connectivity for logging major audit events or triggering certain device features remotely.
Yeah, my initial suggestion likely misses some corner cases. One case I am fairly confident it covers is (not sure if correct term) mutual interest land ownernship (aka, condos). Each layer has the same shape, but they're stacked one top another; each layer is a billable portion of the interest (e.g., a single condo on the shared land).

A poor man's approach could be to query the publicly available data sets, and use that data when there's match. Then, only pay for queries that fall into the edge cases.
I was thinking about these being good for freelancers and startups, then I realized they'll be expensive. There was a recent thread about housing for startup employees:

Lots of people wanted suburbs where they could live in quiet neighborhoods in detached homes with yards. That's why they exist and continue to be built. People also wanted to drive cars rather than take public transit.

That was not a conspiracy by the auto manufacturers, it was just what people wanted. Ask around most suburbs and you'll learn that it is still what most people want today, especially once they have kids.

I think suburbs are going to rise in status after the pandemic, especially if working from home becomes more common. People will want space, and they won't care about being located far from downtown if they don't need to commute. Plus, nobody really wants to use public transit during a pandemic and it will be a long time before people trust it again.

Seriously, I hate unnecessary bureaucracy. Ideally, we'll build enough housing for everyone, regardless if they have a handicap or not, or old for that matter.

I can relate to this. I publish a newsletter for about 2,000 UK agency owners. I have a high open rate (45%) because the emails are really stories about other agencies, rather than about myself. But it's really hard to overcome that "fear of send".

Each time I send a broadcast, I will go back 5 minutes later – see who's unsubscribed – and Google them because... I don't even know!

One thing I do now is schedule my broadcasts, instead of sending them "live". I will even schedule them to go out in 5 minutes' time – for some reason that's way easier than hitting send.

I've seen news that some big companies have bought/leased up malls and converted them into office space.

Probably doesn't do much for suburban culture (although it's arguably better than having a failing mall in the neighborhood), but it's super good for employees since malls tend to be located very near to housing.

On current level of average quality of life in the US one can’t stop destroying ecosystem.

Each person in US needs a home. Heat, water, electricity and waste disposal for that home. A phone, likely a vehicle. Fresh food - a lot.

You can’t consume significantly less (not 10x less). To achieve that you would need to became a caveman again.
Malls are generally just one or two stories tall and therefore a massive waste of space compared to other possible uses of the same land. Building them higher and putting housing on top is a great way to add more housing without using more land.

Because they have no clue whether or not you're sick and if you are, you're taking zero preventative measures to stop others from getting sick?

Let's assume you had a non-remote job. Would your coworkers have the freedom to associate with you or not? How about any family you're living with? What about people at any stores you visit? Especially since the coronavirus has a significant lagtime before symptoms appear which means you have no clue whether or not you're actually exposing others until you get sick and work backwards from there.

Then if you do end up as being a vector for the coronavirus, the people around you pay the price. Your business has to shut down to prevent the spread of it, people have to self-quarantine because now it's highly likely that they have it too.

In the course of your single-minded drive for personal freedoms, you've just caused massive damage to other people and companies and took away their freedoms.

In discussions around addiction, suicide, and other mental health outcomes, the focus is almost always placed on stopping the undesirable outcome.

What they aren't doing is treating the root cause of the problem: loneliness, listlessness, depression. These are problems of our society and they seem to be getting worse over time. We need to change this. We need to build real communities where people belong. We need to build relationships. We're not doing that though. We're becoming more and more atomized.

Fortnite has way too many problems to even be anywhere near considered ready for an esport presented in the Olympics.

Fortnite still has a large amount of luck involved. Even the most skilled players have to rely on luck to be able to get the high leveled items they need to succeed in the long game. While current competitions have tried to lessen this by having multiple rounds over and over in attempt at giving all players a fairer chance, the luck aspect is still there.

All other games with a heavily established esports base uses games with much lower levels of luck, and are centered around the balance of skill and strategy. CS:GO, League of Legends, Rocket League, Valorant, Super Smash Bros, etc. are all centered around the player or team's skill and/or strategy. Luck is either minimal or non existent.

The Olympics should be about skill, never about luck.
