Except the my experience in University with the absolute top people in mathematics, (Not the top 10, but the top 1 or 2) is that they did almost no studying, took no notes, and completely mastered the material that took me 15-20 hours a week to get a B grade in.

I realized pretty quickly that there were people who were wired very, very differently than myself.

I think Mathematics is different from other fields, in that the top performers can reach "Expert" levels with much less effort than the experts in other fields.

Might be the case in physics as well.

Zoho is a great example i can think of an Indian startup (they were founded in India and primarily work out of Chennai even though they are headquartered in the US) which is making inroads into the CRM market worldwide; which is especially impressive considering that they are 100% bootstrapped and have rebuffed multiple attempts at acquistion including from Salesforce.com. They are also unconventional in that they don't look at degrees and even hire kids straight from high school. This despite the fact that the founder and CEO did his grad in IIT and got his PhD. from Princeton.

My thought is this.

Most social networks are about the past. On Facebook, in particular, I'm connected with a lot of people I knew in college or high school, but other than family, not with people that I do much with today.

This is also the case with LinkedIn. Your profile on LinkedIn is a resume, which is about your past.

As an employer I care about what you can do in the future. The past is relevant to that, but I really want to know if you've got it in you to step up your game or if you're burned out and just trying to coast.

So I want to see an aspirational social network that helps people to become what they want to be become.

People who have an 1 Euro job, or are "educated" to write job applications are no longer counted as unemployed. This is a nice statistical trick to lower the high numbers.

And even then the long term unemployment is extreme, with a large north south and east west imbalance, e.g. Berlin 16,8%, Bremen (my home town) 14,3%, till Bayern with only 3,4%.

You also need to consider that export oriented wage dumping means to export unemployment. So those people who have an underpayed job here, cause unemployment in southern Europe.

Average Revenue Per User – How to use it?
That's like saying "I badly want to own a car in my lifetime", then speccing out a brand new Range Rover (think Escalade if you're american) and deciding it's impossible.

The Vauxhall Ampera is £29k, you can get a used 2012 Chevy Volt from around £17k.

I'm not sure how the limited lifetime of batteries will affect the used car economy, but the kind of people who buys a brand new Model S generally aren't keen on driving 10 year old cars.
Review of the Upcoming iPhone 6 and my Tired iPhone 5
True and it's a fair observation. But I'm sure that modern and future automation will create a fundamental shift in how we see ourselves. Understandable that it's jarring to most people. My biggest concerns are that not enough will change to accommodate this future. Given how customarily slow government is to accurately and appropriately re-access policies/laws when new technology dramatically changes our civilization. If I think enough about it I realize just how blindly optimistic this all is. Frankly thinking like this might be one of the reasons we may help us reach beyond the coal and sky.

You're probably right that this isn't the future we'll get. Just like that old prediction that the Radioisotope generator would power all electronics since it was the superior energy source at the time. Then Chernobyl hysteria changed our future. Probably just like some famous automated car crash that will likely occur. Or a neo-luddite media circus. Who knows what's gonna happen in 50 years.

I don't think automation means removing human interaction out of the picture. And I think people's desire for a person to do this work is going to subside as more interactions are personal instead of commercial. It'll free up us to do activities that are more creative, experimental & empathetic with each other. So if anything, it'd be redistributing human interaction into more social roles than compared to a face punching buttons and pulling levers.

The whole giving people in Retirement homes electronics animal things to cover the basic human requirement of physical touch and simulated bonding would become unnecessary (hopefully). Since families lifetimes wouldn't be devastated/adsorbed by trying to sustain your bodies physical requirements and running the financial treadmill optimized by bankers.

"I doubt we will all become engineers, scientists and technologists" We don't need to all become those things. But to orient our education in new ways to supports primarily these groups and the rest of people learn value creating activities that support each other & themselves. There will probably be some kind currently unimaginable creatives economy where large parts of society are centered around art and media.

Yeah this turned into a huge stupid rant. Time to sleep the stupid off.

For instance, automation of carpentry won't destroy carpentry as a skill. Because people like doing these things and when they aren't forced do it. As a wage as it's often a creative outlet. Many love their jobs as a hobby but it just becomes work for a wage. Then the hobby become a chore and no longer satisfying or valuable personal time investment. Especially if we start considering how little time we have on Earth.

This could be as significant as the step from Slavery to Workers. Except instead of soft-choice, this would put voluntarism as the center piece. Which would then lead to society's institutions being also based on charity/voluntarism.
This one, because while it has some really sharp people, it also has a lot of corporate stooges who buy into the "disruption" hype of the Bay Area and who have a complete lack of self-awareness.

This is perhaps too cynical, but it's to Tesla's advantage to be supporting as many workers in the United States as possible. They benefit tremendously from wide array of state and federal incentives, and having jobs directly depending on the continuation of those incentives makes them politically more likely to continue.
> which is also a radical departure to the mindset of keeping core manufacturing as 'black boxes' in Japan.

I saw some of this up close recently and it was quite interesting how Japan was still 'fighting the last war' in this sense.

They were trying to avoid a repetition of Japanese companies doing an end-run around American and European companies by doing their manufacturing and then turning around to innovate on the processes and principles in the end resulting in a wholly new industrial base.

But the world has long moved on from that time and even though there is plenty of innovation in this sphere the threat of a manufacturer turning into a competitor is still present (for instance, in China) but between the US, the EU and Japan that threat is all but non-existent.

Japanese companies are slowly coming around on this and are becoming more free with respect to sharing technology and IP with other partners. This Panasonic move is another step in that direction.

Muscle type you possess is pretty much given and make difference between talented sprinter and talented weight lifter (speed vs strength). Possible body flexibility depends on muscles and joints too and you can influence it only up to the point. You can do only so much to make your attention span longer and better attention span is advantage in some sports too (say race driving).

Whether your body can sustain extensive training or whether it will break depends partly on your genetics too. If you are low on red cells in blood, you will be at disadvantage too.

Bigger hands are an advantage in swimming, longer hands in climbing. Some people learn technique easier then others although I do not know what is the difference there. Your sensitivity to pain is not only a question of will power, it depends on genetics too - lower pain sensibility is advantage too.

There are plenty of individual variances that make difference between who can succeed in professional sport and who not.

Nope. Just generated at random. See my answer above for the source of those codes.
About 3, the idea is right, but they're probably overstating the difference between starting power and running power.

Starting a motor is not something you do lightly for bigger motors (but big like a subway or a car) but I doubt they're that heavy for it to be a big concern.

My bet is that it'll spend the starting power in around 5s of running, tops.
I really like the idea. As much as I try to batch process my food, it's a lot of work and really annoying. MyFitFoods is a bit outside of my price range. I know I can eat very inexpensively if I do the work myself.

However, I'm not a dietitian nor a nutritionist, but the "zero carb" components scare me. From the first page I got the impression this was for body builders and people trying to get in shape (hypertrophy). Maybe there is a trend I don't know about...I know people do really weird things right before a competition. I'm not a body building competitor. My point: make sure you're providing the right diet to the right audience. Is this an Adkins alternative or what?

I'm pretty sure the guy you have on your main page, shirtless, eats his fare share of carbs.

For your marketing purposes: I work-out 1-3 times a week. Previously took the national personal training program for personal education. Have studied, accredited: nutrition, anatomy and physiology, pathophysiology, and pharmacology.

> empty

> Not to be confused with empty?, which returns whether or not a collection is empty, empty returns an empty collection that is the same type as its argument:

No, actually, it returns an empty collection that is the same type as its argument OR NIL.

The 'or nil' is really important, and what makes `empty` really not that useful.

Say, for example, that I wanted to iterate over a generic collection, and modify each element recursively, while preserving the types. One would think this would work:

(defn map-recurse [coll f]
(if-not (coll? coll)
(f coll)
(into (empty coll) (map #(map-recurse % f) coll)))

Alas. You'll find that while maps are in theory lists of vector pair

(empty (first {:a 1})) => nil

So empty really isn't very useful at all. If you know the collection will be one of the types that it supports, you might as well just create the empty collection explicitly - you know what type it is, after all.
Or you go there for a bit of a quieter life and don't mind the commute, or to get a garden. Or to be able to go for country walks without having to hop on the greyhound. I see no appeal in city living.

Keep in mind that read-string, eval, and load-string are all exploit vectors. Read-string exposes you to the #= eval macro, which can execute arbitrary code at read time, as well as various vulnerabilities with object construction.

Eval executes the data it receives without any sandboxing or sanity checking, any data that has ever had any user influence should be suspect. 9 times out of 10, if you're using eval, you should be using a function reference.

Load-string is likewise vulnerable to the eval macro and constructor attack vectors.

clojure.edn offers safe versions of read and read-string that do not use the eval macro. You can get load-string equivalent behavior by wrapping the string in a StringReader and then clojure.edn/reading it until eof. If you're reading data that's had any influence from an end user, always use the clojure.edn facilities, and never eval it.

The main issue I think is having an active vs intert system as a data storage mechanism. A usb drive must interact with the computer in order to transmit data, a CD or DVD are ultimately inert disks which are read without any back and forth alterations. There is a higher degree of security inherent in that I believe.

Unfortunately, the popularity (and honestly the convenience) of USB flash drives has made it hard to switch onto safer mechanisms.
You and a lot of other people on HN are very self-driven and would definitely maintain or perhaps even increase their contribution to society and civilization if given a free ride. A lot of inventors and discoverers of yore were wealthy aristocrats who did precisely that. There were however a lot more other types of wealthy aristocrats who engaged in less productive activities (binge drinking, gambling, building personal militias, etc). When assessing a policy like basic income we need to consider how society will change, not only what we as individuals would end up doing.

I'm not saying the disadvantages outweigh the benefits of basic income. I'm undecided. But I'm also disappointed with how the risks are often brushed off.

After living about 24 years in a rather protected countryside setting I decided to spend one year in China. This shocked me to some degree because it completely changed my view on most things in this world. But it also made me forget nearly everything from my years before I went to China. It's strange to say this, but a grownup doesn't often come into situations where he needs to recall specifics of his childhood. Therefore until now I never had a big problem with that, although it makes me still uncomfortable years later.

Sure, but let's not forget that the wireless carriers paid billions of dollars for that spectrum, and once they purchased those airwaves, they became private. As for spectrum auctions, they are the solution favored by economists for dealing with scarce public resources. The idea of creating property rights in spectrum and auctioning them was proposed by none other than Ronald Coase: http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/bfffd9fa-e9e2-11de-ae43-00144.... Obviously the current spectrum auctions fall short of the ideal--it should be possible to use purchased spectrum for any use not just specified uses, but they're much better than what we had before.

I favor using unlicensed bands for a lot of things,[1] but for cellular, dedicated bands auctioned to the highest bidder are probably the way to go.
