Oh man, I am from Spain. I believe you need to get out of your country for a while.

There are few places in which I had seen more misery than in the US of America, India comes to mind. There some people live very well, the rest very bad.

Spain is somewhat a socialist country, you are paid for not working, with lots of subsidies, like PER or paro, education and healthcare for the poor are free. Also lots of taxes.

Spain exports food, there is plenty of it. If you are poor there are lots of rural places where you are given land free if you want to work it(as small villages get empty when population gets older).

In Spain(and Italy) family is much more important than in the US, so it has a wide social net.
Well, that's not completely true. In Sweden we have private schools just as they do in the US.

It would be nice if they explained how "scoring below average" results in "an underclass that is basically unemployable". The absolute measurements are what matter most. Everything else is pride, folly, and excessive nationalism. Although I suppose healthy competition could occasionally help us move further along the right path.
And on an even longer scale the rest of the world is where black Africans from the centre of Africa immigrated to.

Supermodels are a special elite cohort of models. They are household names, people with instant recognition that can generate news articles simply by announcing that they are doing something involving your brand.

To date one you would need to be compatible with her lifestyle. That means highly successful or at least part of a similar industry like fashion or music. It means that you have to be somebody that can be announced in gossip columns as dating her. It has to be a good career move for her.

Naomi Cambel once walked past me while I was hanging out backstage at New York fashion week. Even if I had said hi there are still significant reasons why I am not now dating her.

And so it is with startups. Pedigree matters, the pedigree of your investors matters. Press matters and is heavily influenced by your position in the network. People in the game are deciding who the winners and losers are. Public perception is influenced by that.

No, you are correct. The oil money is hardly spent at all. It is invested for future security.
I wonder how they are going to tackle supply chain issues. I think if they can crack supply and distribution in a way that ensures that the mindset shifts from "I can just go down the street and pick it up directly" to "this is so damn convenient". With rising fuel costs, and with it, rising costs of living, I think a company like Flipkart has the ability to stabilize markets. Will be interesting to see where this heads, particularly with all the investors they have on-board.
Why? This seems like an issue that could be fixed in the shell---i.e. no need to involve any kernel design at all.

Strength does not equal resilience.

As long as the prosperity is based on top 10% performers (whether educated workforce or economy sector) the system is inherently unstable.The price of natural resources can drop, highly educated people can easily migrate.

Lately, I have noticed several US news publications referring to the Netherlands and Belgium as being situated in Northern Europe. That bugs me, they’re actually in Western Europe.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Europe

From Brussels to the nearest Scandinavian country, Denmark, is a 10 hour drive.

Here’s the paragraph I’m referring to: “But in the northern European countries that have fared better, the picture was brighter — and the study credits continuing education. In Finland, Denmark, and the Netherlands, more than 60 percent of adults took part in either job training or continuing education.”

(I’ll refrain from making the obvious jokes about Americans being bad at general geography.)
Why is the UN immune to everything?
Flipkart is one of the main reasons online shopping has become prevalent in India, but after becoming a marketplace they have messed up a bit (experiences of some friends and http://www.thinkdigit.com/Internet/Flipkart-screwed-me-over-... for example). If they manage to get the trust back, they have a great future, if not they will soon be unable to differentiate themselves from the other sites that are so rapidly cropping up.
This has yet to be proven. The non-existence of something like a soul seems to be a general concensus but so far a person has never been copied.
>Which one is "me" again?

There is a machine with a chair. The machine is linked to chamber with a door, where the "copy" exits. We put you in the chair. I hope you can identify yourself. We turn on the machine. A person comes out of the chamber. We write a #2 on the forehead of the person that comes out of the chamber. I call the person without the 2 "the original".

This isn't really 'distributed grep' as far as I can tell. It is simply running grep individually on each machine.
If you scale up, you wish you didnt do the failure of running an own "cost- and performance efficient" solution.
We did the same failure for many years.

If you scale up, normally you did not have time to look for better solutions, because you need your time for your product and customers and not for your server.
The problem is that you then loose customers or slow down the growth and that cost more then some bucks for a better cloud solution (and yes, cloud cost more).
Because they're expected to make violent interventions that, while we hope they will be for the better overall, will almost certainly harm some people even if they do everything correctly (which it sounds like they didn't do here). Just like the army or the police.
Nobel Price for multiscale models for complex chemical systems
In Finland, one gets 0.15€ per can returned and slightly less/more for different kinds of bottles. It is very easy to return these since every grocery store has a return machine and one can just take the money without buying anything.

The consequence of this is that some people patrol the streets and collect every returnable can they can find just like in this article. However, during summers it seems to be very lucrative business as many people go to city parks to enjoy the sun and some beer. Very few people bother to collect their own cans since one can just toss the can and be sure that someone will collect it within minutes.

I've noticed that the can collecting business is somewhat organized during the prime season. Major parks seem to have groups of people (sometimes quite young, children even) who try to monopolize the can collecting in each park. Periodically there is a car that takes all their cans presumably to a bulk return center. None of these people are ethnic finns.

I'm not sure how I feel about this. It seems horrible that some people venture off from one country to pick up the thrash of others in another country. OTOH the trash problem is reduced and we cannot interfere with the free movement of people within EU.
Because mistakes happen and usually go when it's a horrible situation. If they got sued for every little thing, nothing would be done when it came to humanitarian help. UN should offer some sort of settlement but not to create a precedent.
Imagine if you went to help a family during a tornado and they sued you because you hurt someone's arm by pulling them or accidentally broke a family heirloom.

> - Three percent of all cars sold in Norway are electric

Even better, that number is already outdated - the article states that the Model S has a 5.1% market share already.

It should be noted though that the Norwegians can afford to be environmental - they make ridiculous amounts of money from their offshore oil fields. Also, they have plenty of cheap electricity from hydro.
Well, a large part of the oil revenues are put into an investment fund because the oil isn't going to last forever. Profits of that fund go into the public budget, though.

According to Wikipedia, there are discussions about how much of the oil revenues should be saved; opponents of using more of them directly say that it would just lead to inflation.

"there's no perceptual difference between a brain running in a computer and on a biological substrate"

Who "perceives" a brain running? What do you mean? Is there some higher order process that can do a "perceptual" comparison between a brain running in the world and an identical brain running in a computer? Is the brain doing this comparison?

It may seem like I'm "nitpicking", but I'm not sure if your statement is even well-defined.

Sure, we could call any one of those two bodies "the original", but what's the point. They're both based on a single me at a time X, and from that point on they're two separate beings. Both of them are going to have somewhat different lives and become different people. The same thing would have happened to a single me.

So do you believe there is something immaterial in my "original" body that could not be copied over? It sure sounds like you do, or am I missing something?
There are two points people miss in discussions around FLipkart:

1.) Flipkart in India is about access, not just convenience. Even with large bookstores like Landmark, Crossword, etc. all over the city, not every book s available all the time. Say I want to buy a Swiss army knife from a small city - Flipkart is where I go!

2.) The ₹500 minimum order requirement is a bit of a pain. But Flipkart usually still works out cheaper. Firstly, not many things apart from books would be available for less than 500. And books on Flipkart are massively discounted. I bought a book last week for ₹450, with a markup of ₹795. I gladly paid the shipping and got it next day morning!

Anybody who is complaining about Flipkart should really try it. One day free shipping halfway across the country is just crazy! No other e-com site does that. Amazon doesn't provide that fast shipping for free either! And most other e-com sites in the country are only about Fashion and Clothing, while Amazon India is just a better looking ebay.
As a fan of Tesla I'm still skeptical whether tax incentives are the way to go - the reason is that I'm not yet convinced that battery powered cars are a sustainable way to replace all the petrol powered ones.

In general it seems to me that internalizing all costs of transport is the way to go. This would mean higher fuel costs, possibly slightly higher cost of electric vehicles and also higher cost of public transport. There should be a clear incentive for people to move as close as possible to where they work, or to work from home. Some incentives to steer the economy in that direction could be helpful at first, for example subsidizing company housing or directly subsidizing people to move close to their job (the higher amount, the closer the family moves), offsetting high rent in places with lots of work.
There's a bit where he implies that if an encryption process doesn't take very long to execute on a smartphone, then it must be easy to crack the resulting file on a powerful server. Am I making a mistake here?
I have once seen exactly this effect - it's quite remarkable when seen for real, and took some time to figure out what was happening.
I think one of the reasons for returnable cans and bottles is to teach children about money and work. Many people I know once ran the can business in their household as children.

EDIT: This requires grocery stores to take return bottles, I'm not sure if I would let my children to a hobo-filled recycling center.
What those other countries are doing is not having many Africans. But this is not a problem, and would be difficult to fix even if it were.

Income inequality is a major goal of American politics. The poverty oligarchs farm the poor for votes. This will continue for as long as Americans practice the perversion known as democracy.

Well, the thinking is generally "let's give stuff to the poor because we're such nice people", not "let's pay off the poor to darken some other doorstep". This is the mindset behind your parent comment. If you want to not have bums in your backyard, you can do that much cheaper and more effectively than by paying them to stay in your backyard.

My brother and sister (both 10) "run the can business" in their household now, but what that actually means is that my dad saves the cans and drives them to the recycling center when they think they have enough. What exactly is the lesson to be drawn about money and work?

(I can tell you that the reason that system obtains in the household is that my mother feels very strongly that recycling is the moral thing to do, but I'm still struggling as to what lessons a child would draw even if their parents wanted them to)
What's wrong with dying? I don't want to die. I don't want to see the people I love die. It's not "part of life" or some other crazy rationalization to make us feel better about it. It's just ceasing to exist. There is no other life.

We used to think there was some magical soul thing, but now we can look and see how the very neurons in your brain work. And when they stop working, that's it.

I don't accept death. It isn't part of any greater purpose. The universe isn't optimized for human values. But we can change that.

One day future humans will look back on ancient Earth and wonder how terrible it must have been to live for mere decades. If you were to try to convince them that dying was a good thing and they should give up their immortality, they would laugh at you.
The premise behind your post is incorrect. There is no obligation to create a mechanism for eavesdropping by the government.

In other words: if you can design a system to "disallow lawful intercepts of individuals", you are allowed to do so.

Or: a lawful intercept is lawful to use, but not legally compelled to exist.

The fact that we are so far down the rabbit hole that intelligent technologists like yourself accept this as a premise is incredibly disturbing.
Do you have a PayPal account people can send money to, like an email address or a link to donate?
>Unfortunately there is exactly zero proof of any kind that this is so

Oh but there is for those who seek it!

One kind of proof is called dimethyltryptamine. It lasts for 10 minutes, but when you come back, you might have a radically different view on these matters.

Other psychedelics, like LSD, also offer a different perspective on life and death and there are also different kinds of spiritual work one can do - meditation, holotropic breathing or living life in nature. They all help you realise just how fragile and transitory life is in nature and that that is a good thing.

>Religions and mystics have been exploiting the normal human fear of death

Isn't science (or rather scientists) driven by the same fear ? Isn't the knowledge that we're going to die a factor in making us go out and do stuff to survive ?

Wouldn't immortality lead to a state where we'd have to invent a simluation of mortal life in order to actually feel alive ?

How can one tell that this life isn't such a simulation ?

This really, really sucks.

If you have little to no cash, you've been robbed, and you've not been paid for a year, you have to start thinking about self preservation. If you've lost your work too this project is going to be inevitably and dramatically delayed -- any payday from this start-up is far out into the future now. You don't need me to tell you you're on the verge of a bad situation. (How are you paying rent if you have no money, btw?)

I have no idea how donation-based classes will work out, but you should act pragmatically and cut back your time spent with this start-up so you have time to focus on other things, lest you starve. This is the reasonable course you should take right now.

(On a side note: it bothers me that you've been working unpaid for a year for someone else's literally bankrupt business.)

Freelance, get a McJob, claim some sort of welfare if you're eligible -- do whatever you have to do to keep yourself afloat. Businesses, especially start-ups are risky things, and while this may work out fantastically in the long term there will be no long term if you don't take care of the short term.

Take care of the other issues, like getting a police report now. You'll probably need that to report your passport stolen, so really, do this immediately! I'm going to guess you don't have contents insurance, but if you do, claim also.

Edit: if you're living off savings as you've mentioned elsewhere, why was your money in cash rather than in a bank account?
Define "proven" as that discovery would contradict pretty much everything we know about the universe. You might as well imply that magic hasn't been proven to not exist.

It is unfortunately not that simple.

First of all, you won't just need a well-educated top 1% (I presume you mean top 1% in terms of innovation ability, not income). You also generally need a skilled workforce in order to implement what you've invented.

Second, it is arguable that the rising inequality in the US is incompatible with long-term economic growth. The economic growth in past decades has been powered not just by innovation: A lot has been due to families going from single to dual income households, working two jobs, and more recently, Americans using their homes as ATM machines.

America, at least for now, has a consumption-driven economy and for that you need consumers to be able to buy things. In order for that, they need sufficient income, and for that income, they have to be able to compete on the labor market. 99% of the labor force doing minimum wage jobs cannot drive an economy.

Worse, increasing technological innovation has eliminated low skill, minimum wage job, and driven a lot of them overseas. Technological innovation needs to be paired with skilled labor if you don't want to face a collapsing labor market down the road.
I'll have to agree with this. Don't get me wrong PayPal is not great and the horror stories are well horrifying BUT it has a pretty global adoption and customers are fairly likely to know it.
In fact in Germany (which I think is one of the most "anti credit card" countries) I know many people that will only buy stuff online if they can pay via bank transfer or PayPal because PayPal is simple and has a recognizable brand name.
I own a CC but there have been times where I had checked out stuff and didn't buy in the end because it was CC only.

Amazon has that same brand name advantage if it's easy to use for customers they have a good shot imo.

Stripe is still in private beta or non existent in many countries. I'm rooting for them but there are already clones coming out in countries where they are not available which might not be great for them long term.
If you show initiative and return the cans you can obtain money that would not be available otherwise. Pretty straightforward in my mind.
