Its certainly accessible, but I'm not sure how much I trust the authors to understand what they're talking about after point 3.

> But very often the conclusion that is drawn from this observation is that our _knowledge_ about the path followed by the electron causes the interference pattern to disappear.

Although we couch the idea in terms of "knowledge", the usual meaning of that word is not what anyone thinks is actually the trigger. What exactly is meant by "knowledge" is not well-agreed upon, but no one thinks it is something particular to humans (or sentient beings, I suppose) that causes the wavefunction to collapse. It has more to do with whether the information exists - if the particle interacts with something in such a way that its position suddenly becomes deducible, then it collapses. Like I said, the specifics of this are a known hole in the Copenhagen theory - but this "knowledge" tangent is a clear strawman.

They have explicitly denied permission to have their content slurped.

Why do you think it is legal to then go ahead and slurp it?
No, it doesn't. Why can't some of you understand basic economics?

For simplicity, let us have City Core (C), the suburbs reachable with a one hour commute at the worst (S), and the rural area/farmland (F) further out, and ultra-rural deliverance areas beyond that (D).

No one wants to go buy a piece of Farmer Joe's land in zone F and build a house when it takes 3 hours to drive to work. Therefore relatively few people live out there. Because so few live out there, many other people don't want to live out there (not much shopping, no entertainment, few schools, etc).

Now the road is widened. In C, it goes from six lanes to ten. In S, it goes from four to eight. In F, a new closed-access highway with four lanes is built.

What is the result? Why spend $650,000 on a house in S when you can build the same house in F for $300,000? Which is in fact what a ton of people do. Over a period of ~20 years, developers buy up the farmland in zone F, subdivide it, and build houses. People move for the cheaper/larger housing; businesses move in, retail is built, and now we have zone S'. You have four lanes of traffic from zone F connecting to an expanded eight lanes in zone S, which was originally four lanes. Can you spot the problem? Hint: 8 - 4 = 4. Thus the "effective" number of lanes is unchanged for the people living in zone S, even though we presume both S and C have increased density by building taller buildings, renovating to subdivide houses into apartments, etc.

Same for the people in zone C, where the four additional lanes of traffic from S' eat all the excess capacity from the expansion.

What was zone D becomes the new zone F'. Soon as they build some excess road capacity (damn hippies and liberals! what a bunch of Phooey, we should just build more roads) all our problems will be solved!!!

---

So yes, in a place like NYC with massive over-demand for transportation, you are correct. But here in Dallas, we've been building tons of new roads all over for the past 50 years and it hasn't changed much, it has merely enabled people to buy up farmland and move further away. Plano in the 1960s was all farms, now it's been 100% build on (literally, the city has no further room to grow). Same for Allen. McKinney is almost completely built now. Any further road expansion will require tearing down skyscrapers, double-decking, or tunneling which magnify the cost of building new roads by an order of magnitude or worse.

Dallas is living proof that building more roads won't help congestion. It might lower home prices or allow your city to continue expanding, but it won't help with commute times or congestion beyond a small temporary bump.
Fair points, all.

However, markets fail when there is a misalignment of incentives and/or lack of information/education. I view the government's job primarily as aligning people's incentives with the desired long-term direction.

In India (where I'm from), there have been decades of dole-outs for the poor (especially farmers), but it has failed to create any long-term economic benefits for those communities. On the other hand, education (both for the farmers and their children) has been far more effective in uplifting people out of poverty.

I realize that the average American is more educated and has better access to information that the average Indian farmer. But still, you can be assured that some of that "basic income" will be going into a slot machine.

Perhaps the solution is a basic income with some restrictions / incentives around how to spend it?

I'm not sure how quantum computing would be explained, but if it is classical then yes, quantum computers really wouldn't provide any benefit. This brings to mind headlines recently on how so-called quantum computers could not outperform optimized classical computers on algorithms specifically designed to cater to a quantum computer's strengths. Of course, then you would have to argue whether there actually are any quantum computers in existence today, or the quantum computers that are claimed to exist are actually classical computers exploiting some quantum effects.

> they obviously DO increase quality of life

Perhaps not, if you take into account the resource costs of road infrastructure (which are fairly hidden by government) and the health impact of automobile usage (from pollution, commuting hours, and obviously road accidents).

The thing is, massive public subsidies for roads might be the reason that so many people need to travel far from their homes to their work. You're assuming that the causal relationship goes one way, but it could just as easily go the other way.
"New technology". You mean a light? Or a door slider?
When you go to sign up for your driving permit, they hand you an entire book on road signs, markings, and traffic signals. They don't just explain what is around your neighborhood and on your daily commute, they explain how the entire system works and how to read it fluently.

Later, they test you on it. Obviously, testing people on riding the metro would be ridiculous. But there is a huge difference in having a map and signing system in place versus knowing how to read them.
For one, we've entered an age where the economies of most of the countries in the world have become interconnected to some extent. Just 100 years ago, this wasn't the case.

I don't blame you because this is the kind of conventional trope that everybody parrots and just feels right, but economic historians agree on that the extent of globalization 100 years ago was in fact just as high as it is today in many respects --and in some respects such as labor mobility, it was even higher then [1,2].

In fact, it was only after the collapse of the transoceanic European colonies after the wars that nationalism and the Great Depression gave rise to isolationism and trade protectionism as the natural state of affairs; only to be gradually re-dismantled towards the end of the twentieth century. But if you think about it, the technical and institutional elements of globalization --efficient mechanized shipping, industrialized commodities production/extraction, global electronic communications, settling/clearing institutions-- were all there then.

Quora also disallows the ia_archiver agent.

http://www.quora.com/robots.txt

Here is their explanation (in the robots.txt file)

"We opt out of the wayback machine because inclusion would allow people to discover the identity of authors who had written sensitive answers publicly and later had made them anonymous, and because it would prevent authors from being able to remove their content from the internet if they change their mind about publishing it. As far as we can tell, there is no way for sites to selectively programmatically remove content from the archive and so this is the only way for us to protect writers. If they open up an API where we can remove content from the archive when authors remove it from Quora, but leave the rest of the content archived, we would be happy to opt back in. See the page here: https://archive.org/about/exclude.php"

"Meanwhile, if you are looking for an older version of any content on Quora, we have full edit history tracked and accessible in product (with the exception of content that has been removed by the author). You can generally access this by clicking on timestamps, or by appending "/log" to the URL of any content page."
First keep in mind that quantum computers have not been proven to be more powerful than classical computers. Keep also in mind that "quantum computing", like "classical computing", is a mathematical model that exists outside of reality.

That said, I think the answer to your question is that the "test particle" in the pilot-wave model is always reaching its destination at the speed of light. If however you model the pilot wave with Newtonian physics and place a literal test particle in it, well, even if the particle is moving very fast, its meandering route will all but guarantee a much slower (likely asymptotically slower) traversal than the pilot-wave test particle.

But IANAP and welcome corrections.

Best if that house is "worth" $1.5 million. You can borrow a lot more against that than against a $400k L.A. bungalow.

Your understanding of LA-area real-estate -- and its appeal to Chinese buyers -- appears to be...incomplete:

"Wealthy Chinese home buyers boost suburban L.A. housing markets" [1]

"Housing crisis hasn't touched San Marino" [2]

In San Marino -- a former WASP bastion, now about 50% Chinese -- $2 - $10 million homes are readily found [3].
(And there are other, cheaper cities with large Chinese populations close by, so one can pick one's price-point).

In the city itself, in or near West LA for example, the market has been hot for a while -- it's not hard to find areas with median house prices over $1 million (e.g. [4]) -- a $1.5 million house would not be hard to find.

Or, for (much) more expensive places, one could go to Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Rolling Hills, Malibu, etc. [5].

So, your putative fugitive would have little problem finding an expensive house -- for most of values of "expensive" -- in the greater LA area, either in a Chinese enclave or, if they needed to stay away from people who might recognize them, etc., in other nice areas.

If you were one of the people that lives close to work, you now have to compete for jobs with people from further away. Which means that you now have to probably drive 30 miles for a job, since that one a mile down the road is taken up by someone who lives 30 miles away.

On a smaller scale, I grew up in the middle of two medium-sized towns, the one north of me had factories, and the one south of me had other factories. In towns A and B, there were about as many people working from the other town as there were local. But without the roads, everyone would be more likely to work a couple miles from home, and probably be happier (type of work, pay rate, etc were about the same between the two).

Interesting to note that Zoning is never mentioned.

In 2006, housing was constrained by "Nobody is making land." (#8 in the Who Disagrees section). Now it is somehow "zoning" that prevents housing from being built, and availability of land is not an issue but rather ability to use it. A pretty amazing perception/rationale change.
I nominate cleantech, energy efficiency, and renewable energy.

Over the next 30ish years, the entire globe will have to transition from fossil fuels to sustainable energy. The amount of growth that needs to happen is probably bigger than what we experienced in the internet boom. Already in California, green jobs outnumber Hollywood jobs, and solar is now profitable without subsidy.

These are the areas that are going to have the largest growth and innovation over the next few decades. The next Google is going to be an energy company.

I agree. That is a correct reading. Where I do not agree is on the assumption that a basic feature set can be construed as a simpler language. While true for the language proper, it isn't true for real usage of language plus libraries.

Take operator overloading. It can be used to create hellish code. It can also be used to create great libraries (numpy for instance). Because of the danger of hellish code, Go makes it impossible to create numpy in Go.

In the end, while Go is simpler, a numpy in Go would be more complex[1], because the language is not expressive enough. The simplicity argument, while true for the language proper, is false for advanced usage.

There's no reason the grid must accommodate peak demand. Two other options are simple failure to meet demand (you only get 10 amps) and dynamic pricing to reduce demand (if air conditioning costs $100/hr you might not use it).

Cars have more functions than purely transport.

They are great containers of stuff, you can leave tools, laptops , spare clothes etc in them without having to load and unload every time you want to go to work.

They're also status markets, so I suspect the rich will want to keep their own cars for this purpose which will lead to the middle class also being hesitant to give them up.

You also have logistical problems like what if I take an autonomous car for the day and decide I need to take a long cross country trip in it?

You also have special requirements for some cars, like perhaps I need access to a car with a lot of seats or I want to be able to carry a trailer and I can't guarantee that a car fit for this purpose will always be available.
That's interesting. We all have our own circles we run in but every programmer I know uses vim or emacs except Windows users but, well, you know.
Everyone before you chose to inconvenience all comers before and after. In a situation like this, especially because it's iterated every day, these people are clearly choosing to slow, and be slowed by, everyone coming after them. Being on the road first doesn't give you moral superiority.

In some situations the margin of newcomers is a fair way to look at it. But with drivers on the road, these people are all getting up in the morning and choosing to use this road at the same time. It is a continuous reaffirmation, day by day, that this is the path they want, no matter who they slow down, and they accept being slowed in return.
(and, to be fair, I can't blame them; I'd do the same in their shoes)

Who holds Java up as a poster child for advanced type systems? You've mad an unintentional straw man argument.

In this particular case, you're using an Integer where a subclass of Enum is called for. The value you're passing may very well be a valid value for the Enum you're trying to use. You may be doing something silly, or it's possible that this is an artifact of generics being bolted on to Java after the fact. In this case, it may be possible for the compiler to infer which Enum you really wanted and insert a runtime check and cast, but then it would be doing you a disservice by silently inserting an opportunity for a runtime error.

I'm not advocating Java's type system, but be glad Java at least has typesafe enums. Every couple of years (across several employers) I run into a very bad bug due to two different return code enums happening to use either 0 or 1 as their "ok" values, and enums of one type being silently cast to the other, resulting in silently okay behavior in the common case and spectacularly bad error recovery in corner cases. Just today I fixed an error where someone had designed an API where an enum of one type was passed to a function needing an enum of a different type, without any translation. Some users had gotten correct behavior by passing an enum of the incorrect type to the API, and some users had followed the API documentation and gotten wrong behavior.
If that was the case, they will be waiting for eternity. There will never be a complete theory of everything, just ask Godel. :)
Imagine there's no growth. Why adopt solar power then, and who's going to pay for it since there'd be no investment capital? Nope, just run those coal burners forever. No need to upgrade if there's no growth.

It's fallacious to argue that because there's no net growth in some economic indicator, say 'GDP', that there can't be growth in specific sectors.

Secondly, growth is not a measure of demand, especially as demand shifts. People value having clean skies, and breathable air. And there is also a obvious value in 'not having to dig in mines for your energy'. Depending on how you measure your economy (let's say we unbeknownst to us give a higher weight to miners who dig underground vs. laborers panel assembly factories in our metric), 'upgrading' to solar could incur a 'contraction' instead of 'growth'.

What if growth in the US is being prevented by technology innovation? If I replace 100 jobs with 1, and no further jobs are need for those 99 people, and that's the core of what technology does, growth in the traditional sense isn't possible.

I agree that a basic minimum income may be necessary; I don't believe it'll fix the growth problem though.
Who stopped building highways? In the Dallas area we've been building and expanding them non-stop for decades now. My experience is people have simply moved further out, increasing traffic flowing into the newly expanded/built roads, and overall congestion has remained constant.

But I think many of us would agree about accomplishing Big Things. Here's the dirty little secret: the US Government has almost always funded those "Big Things" and taxed the rich heavily to do it. The Interstate highway system was funded by a massive (as a percentage of the price per gallon) gas tax, along with a 90% post-war income tax rate on the rich.

Even the trans-continental railroad was funded thanks to guarantees, loans, etc from the US Federal government (including sending the Army out shoot Native Americans and bandits who attacked the railroads). No private entity was willing to take such a large risk - it could have bankrupted even JP Morgan if it went bad. Without "Big Government" support the line never would have been built.

I'm all for bringing back much higher taxes on the rich - tax anything over $1 million income at 50%, over $10 million at 60%. Same for cap gains. Use that money to fund massive expansions of roads, build subways under every major city, heck start a government-funded bank that gives anyone who wants to start a business a loan (it's what the Chinese government does).

We could do a ton of "Big Things" if we were willing to tax the uber-rich to pay for it.
