Let's say we can edit the human genome (CRISPR is not approved for human use), even then, there should extremely tight limits to our genomic editing, since for the majority of the genome by sequence, expressed regions, and possibly still coding regions, has largely unknown function.

We just don't understand so much of genomic function through evolutionary time from the simple fact that we cannot easily observe it, that making anything more than a SNP change is asking for major, unfixable problems at a population level down the line. If risk is (threat x vulnerability x consequence), we need to practice the utmost caution when that vulnerability period is the rest of our species existence!

While there are many things that make any change to json changes challenging, single vs. double quote really isn’t a problem, the JSC JSON parser supprots them at an implementation level as it is also used for jsonp insanity, it’s just that in pure JSON mode (eg JSON.parse) it doesn’t allow single quotes or a few other similar “real” js language features it supports for the sake of jsonp
I don't think this is a very good take. There is a very clear correlation between GNP and education level in nations.

Many people lack the necessary expertise to recognize an expert when they see one.

They thus are left to resort to authority as the proximate measure accessible to them to assess how much credit to assign to the opinions of a particular expert.

To complicate matters, there are documented cases where in the past half century at least experts have be bought by special interest groups such as big tobacco etc. This eroded public trust in any experts and many people were brought up assuming every public discourse with expert opinions is rigged. That generation now 40-50yo and their world view is having a certain weight on current matters. (Disclaimer: this is just my personal opinion, I'm not an expert. And even if I was many people wouldn't trust me anyway ;-p )
Incredibly ambitious project. I watched the whole documentary.

I'm surprised they were 'unable to secure additional funding'.

Considering how many crackpot app-of-the-month companies have gotten cash thrown at them over the last decade, you would think a company doing real engineering would be drowning in money. It's a bummer to hear that they folded.

I guess I don't quite get what you suggest we should subsidize. China and India are two of the big, emerging polluters, and their exports only account for roughly 20% of their GDP. So a good 80% chunk will run on non-green energy even if we devised the perfect policy to make the remaining 20% of the entirety of their exports green. (US imports only a portion of that but let's assume entire world cooperated).

This is not accounting for the havoc it would wreak in international trade obviously, hurting China's exports is never hurting them alone, because trades not only go both ways, but also through; meaning depending on a lot of Chinese intermediary goods that we export affects US's GDP, and also worlds GDP. If I am understanding suggestion correctly, for example a carbon tax on iPhone's manufacturing would reduce how many iPhones are sold in the entire world, not just US, and ultimately would impact US's economic power in the form of a reduction, which also reduces the ability of "writing checks" for other interventions.

This is why policy design is tricky.
What can the media do when people would rather read a literal propaganda piece on facebook, watch some quack on fox news, listen to conspiracy theories on AM radio, or hear their preacher spew bigoted nonsense every sunday?

"1) How not to have the posture/tone/etc in your voice when answering questions, but...

2) ...that this is an adversarial discussion and you should seek extreme clarity every single time."

Thanks for that.

But if we're being realpolitik about it - shouldn't the 'objective' be to use easy to understand arguments that work well as sound-bytes and zingers, and simpleton analogies so that both the generally uninformed congress, press and population at large will be convinced either directly or by the perpetuation of the 'easy to understand arguments'?

And then to be likeable, which is the #1 thing that will give credibility?

As you say, it's a 'PR stunt - meaning the objective is not 'clarity' - it's more like winning a political TV debate.
Sure but the worst case scenario is equivalent to a take home exercise, which many companies are happy to have you do. I have been asked to bring in my own work (I did have some) and it was the most pleasant interview experience I have had.
And then you get the Replication Crisis[1], in which we find that a shockingly large number of studies in the social sciences failed to meet the bar for scientific fact.

I am writing this from my room in Wiehre right now, for which I pay 300 euro per month. Ok, it's a room in a flat I share with 3 flatmates, not everybody wants to live like this, but still, even Wiehre and Herdern are hardly quarters only for the super rich.

Additionally Freiburg is so small that you can be pretty much anywhere within 15 minutes by bike, it really does not matter so much which quarter you live in.
Stock trading is complicated because those companies aren't public yet, but they aren't public (yet).

I think I recall Elon Musk saying that SpaceX isn't going to go public, possibly because it's a very long-term endeavor, and his goal is to go to Mars, not make huge profits.

So, there's clearly a problem there. Companies don't want to go public to avoid the incentives of the public market, but they also want their stocks to be traded.

One possible approach is the Long Term Stock Exchange which we've discussed a few days ago. One of their goals is to provide liquidity to early employees and other long-term shareholders without necessarily shifting the focus to the quarterly numbers. I don't know how well they'll achieve that, but I'm really curious.

What would be other solutions?

It is an observation about the wider liberal project that is in decline everywhere.
No, people use PGP because at the times these systems were designed, there weren't better options; in some cases, there literally wasn't materially better cryptography, and in others, the better cryptography wasn't suitably enabled by good libraries. None of that is true anymore, nobody should be using the archaic PGP format for anything new, and, in most cases, people should be investigating how to replace PGP with modern alternatives.

Some bits of text are missing (because of badly written CSS I assume), stuff floating in front of the text... I definitely stopped reading before the average 40% of content: annoying layout.
The proposed change has another important aspect to it: it would help standardize a way of passing arrays across language boundaries. Currently when using FFI, you often have to decompose fat pointers into pointer and length before calling a foreign function, or compose a fat pointer from a pointer and length in extern functions. This could mean languages like rust, d, etc. Could just pass arrays directly.

I for one would love to see this proposal become a reality.
Very nice article, but I have to disagree with the notion that solo developers or small teams are limited to small ideas.

Team mode works well when you have found a beachhead and are ready to settle the new territory. If you are still looking through the fog, however, or exploring multiple ideas, or even some giant crazy sounding project, scout mode (single or small team) is more resource efficient and teaches/surfaces the resourceful and obsessed. Zuckerberg tinkering at Harvard, Drew Houston with DropBox, the Wright brothers, and plenty of others to showcase.

Solo developers and two person teams without a trust fund may even build revenue generating boring stuff first, to use the funds for moonshot prototyping (as the article writers also did).

Creativity, especially deep problem-solving or exploration requires hermit mode (ask PhDs). Ideas generated in solo mode make great discussion material for team brainstorming, but going straight to team produces mostly shallow work. Then there is the dynamic of managing work, expectations, direction, stakeholders.

If you are the type of founder who enjoys managing other people doing the work, you may start with fundraising/hiring, but I would put my money on those truly obsessed with the problem. Especially if they take the first stab at it to find the right direction and iterate a few times until they are confident with a solid target before growing a team.
Being an ISP and being a launch company are very different business models, different regulations apply, different operational expertise is required and so on.

If you're focused on getting to humans to Mars, running an ISP is a distraction, even if it comes with good cash flow. If you're running an ISP, getting to Mars is a distraction. It's better to separate thees two aspects into separate companies.

In 2019, and I’m using this because you can explore it at https://www.nationsreportcard.gov/mathematics/states/groups?... , Mississippi’s 8th grade math mean score was the same as New Hampshire’s, when comparing white students. Mississippi is just way less white than New Hampshire. California, also near the bottom overall, has better white performance than New Hampshire, but not as good as Massachusetts, which has always had a lot of smart people moving to Boston.

The ranking there is simply a diversity/brain drain ranking. Mississippi and California are way more diverse, so they rank low. States with nothing to attract or keep smart parents, like West Virginia, rank low too.

Honestly, it was a brilliant move on their part.

Everybody seems to focus on university, but there is a lot of very hard-won know-how at the technician level of the manufacturing sector. Most of this is difficult-to-impossible to codify, and tends to pass both cohort-to-cohort, and via professional networks.

So what's to stop me cobbling together something like the Wing 7 and just leaving it unattended in a field to launch and generate whenever the wind conditions are suitable?

If I did, and I got typical government subsidies for wind power, I might earn $10k/year. That ought to pay for all the machines parts if I buy everything hobby grade from AliExpress. The 2nd year is pure profit assuming the craft lasts that long.

So that leads me to suspect the key issue is the various control algorithms can't be made reliable enough to run for years and years without crashing under any combination of gusts and wind conditions. Am I along the right lines of the issues?
Imagine how we'd operate if people were truly free to do their calling, and all the scientists and poets and musicians posing as businessmen and HR reps came out of the woodwork. We'd be commenting in this thread from Mars by now.
I am not advocating that, in fact I am with you in how bad it is, but I am also telling what the incentive structure looks like and what would it take to move it to the other equilibrium point. There are many and different types of agents in this game and appeals to morality or apocalypticism just don't work on them. There needs to be a concrete, depolarizing, global leadership that coordinates this transition, to make sure parties don't defect despite cheating being very profitable, and they also believe that this will be the case with others.

Paris agreement was an attempt at this but also demonstrated that we still couldn't muster the political will to do anything sufficiently concrete. Unlike nuclear weapons, which has much fewer agents to coordinate with and a more immediately imaginable impact, climate change proves to be difficult problem regarding the nature of coordination it requires and ease of popularizing the policies around it. We need tools to match that difficulty.

You seem to have an impression that a certain personality type will be better at doing their work than others. That's a very limiting view in my opinion, and you're going to pass over entire groups of people who can bring a lot of value. Neurodiversity can be just as important as gender diversity and cultural diversity. If you work with only one kind, then your world-view will be limited by that kind.

I've come across many a smart person who would abhor the idea of listening to a presentation, let alone give one. Give me a document they'll say, and they will go through it at depth and collaborate amazingly over text. A mix of both is required. You don't want everyone to be giving presentations all day, just as you don't want no one to be attending any presentations. Diversity is essential, and it's more effective to create structures that allow different types of people to work with one another than to mould people into personalities.

First three minutes of his talk: the real world is messy and muddy and you can't use models to make predictions.

Minute five: if we convert all of the excess CO2 in the air into soil, we'll need to add 1/10th of an inch of topsoil per year. "Therefore I conclude that the CO2 problem is one primarily of land management."

After berating climate scientists for using mathematical models for using fluid dynamics (driven by huge supercomputers), he turns around and does a back-of-the-envelope calculation like this. It was so disappointing to listen to a brilliant person utterly fail at self-reflection.

As for the rest of your argument, there are books and books and books that address all of it point by point.

As for nonlinear systems, your trillion-cell body is beyond my comprehension to understand or predict a day or two in advance. However, I predict you will be dead in 90 years.
