If you're into any field of applied AI such as Machine Learning, you'll have no trouble transitioning from industry to research and vice versa. It is a very flexible skill set and there is a lot of demand for it. Just go the best

Absolutely on point. What always amazes me about these "super-lemmings" is that they are so unaware that they are being thoroughly exploited. They don't understand basic economics, that if you have zero leisure time, all of y

All of the activities you've listed have very low cognitive demand. Try refactoring the linux kernel for 90 hours a week. Good luck.

Democracy has been gamed since its invention. Unfortunately, the poor were extremely valuable as a servant class for the rich throughout our pre-industrial history. Nowadays however, with automation, the rich are becoming quite independent

I completely agree, but I see automation as a catalyst that has allowed wealth concentration to proceed at an unprecedented rate which would otherwise be impossible. Policy is by far the greatest factor, but it doesn't help that busine

You are absolutely correct. It comes down to the evolutionary history of Earth throughout life's 4 billion year tenure on this planet. The climate has gone through EXTREME changes [1][2], including the Chicxulub impact, which radically

As an ardent defender of science, I tend to agree. There's always been a nagging intuition I've had about climate change that to this day I haven't resolved. It comes down to the evolutionary history of Earth throughout life&

That's all well and good, but if everything's a dream, then what's the point in talking about it? Why are you on Hacker News telling figments of your imagination about the depth of your dream? Shouldn't you be trying to

That is a little idealistic, don't you think? The Occupy movement got crushed by the police. It is in the state's best interest to prevent social movements from reaching critical mass. As such, they use their massive enforcement a

This insane obsession with making programming the "everyman" skill boggles the mind. "Programming", better described as applied mathematics, is not and has never been an accessible profession. Just because you have no tr

Fascinating. What constitutes a thread being labelled as a "train wreck"?

The top comment mentions DARPA research, but for those who are actually interested in the theory behind the memristor and its potential applications, here [1] is an excellent resource by the man who discovered the first physical memristor.

Slightly OT: What is stopping the development of unmanned cargo aircraft? If SpaceX can deliver cargo autonomously to the space station, I somehow fail to believe that flying an unmanned 747 from one airstrip to another is exceedingly compl

There is an opportunity here for some clever control system design. If the mobile platform is brought into the control system loop, it can move to adjust for excess lateral velocity. Won't be easy, but if anyone can do it, it's Sp
