Also, I've seen your posts before. Often, you post links to data. I like data, and each time you post a link, I check it out. But, in the past I've been convinced that you had cherry picked your data or misrepresented it. But, wh

For one, we should not allow trade with countries that do not have some base level of rule of law, human rights, anti-corruption, safety nets, military control, and democratic rule. Capitalism is a game, and games still work even when there

40 years old here, and I have seen much more pain than benefit over the last 30 years. Early in my youth I was exposed to libertarianism, and I was taken in - it sounded so simple and logical and effective. But, over time I saw the effects

How long does it take you to load 2 TB into SQLite? How long do queries take? I believe you, but I'm in disbelief that it could be close to as efficient as throwing into ram. I mean, an EMR cluster takes like 5 minutes to spin up. Wher

Maybe eventually. But, usually such things take a long time to play out. People generally don't act independently, but more like a flock of birds. Occasionally, a singleton will appear to successfully break the equilibrium, but it d

Genetic predisposition doesn't mean a guarantee. There are often environmental factors. Also, you're assuming two things: 1) that genes are evenly distributed among the population, which they're not. And, 2) that diagnosis a

Disclosure: I liked Obama as candidate, and I've liked him as president. I haven't always been happy with some of his decisions and policies. But, my guess is that he's constantly being whispered the worst case scenarios. A

There's probably over diagnosis, but since ADHD medications are safe at low doses, there's not much downside with over diagnosis. On the other hand, there's 2-8% of the general population that has ADHD, and those individuals

Based on the title of the post alone, someone with even center to left politics should expect to get jumped on in the following discussion. It's a post that's trolling for conflict, not solutions.

Google has a lot of data on a lot of people, and as such, often they're the obvious single target. But, it's useful to keep in mind that the aggregation of all data on a person, across all sources, is several orders of magnitude g

Framed in the way that the article presents the data, then, yes, I guess, we do have more leisure time. Although, how much? The article cites that the number of hours worked per week (since 1900!!) has only dropped 1.4 hours a week. Or,

Dialogues like this make me feel like I'm in some surreal universe where all software evolved around one giant mainframe, and now, centuries later, everyone is still programming in COBOL, and it's illegal to not be backward compat

I hate to be cynical, but I'm sure many of my ancestors were also told to believe similar things. I know for certain that my grandparents and great grandparents believed that technology would create such progress that people of my gene

Sometimes optimal solutions don't make sense to the human mind because they're not intuitive. For instance, I developed a system that used machine learning and linear solver models to spit out a series of actions to take in respon

Which the US did in 1961... The Chinese do silly things like blow up satellites (causing space debris), to show their might - things that the US had done 30 years ago. Whereas, the US has systems that can track and predict all space debris

What's your life story before 20? I think those are critical development years.

Well considering that US space tech is like 30 years ahead of most other countries, e.g. China, it makes sense. I mean they steal everything else, gotta keep some things secret.

I agree that it's important for a child to learn that practice improves skill. However, forcing them to learn something that they loathe can be harmful, also. Some kids just don't like music or instruments; I sure didn't. So,

As a parent of young kids, the future really worries me. Unless there's a new industrial revolution in the next decade, my kids' generation is going to be the first in a very long time that will have a worse life than their parent

China and the US may be somewhat alike in this regard, but at least in the US people are allowed to talk about it and rally against it.

The thing is that location 'signatures' can be created from many types of sensors, as long as they're able to record an environmental factor that is discriminable on a position. It's not important that the signature is

Early in my career, I emphatically asked my managers to work on most highly important yet most visibly failing products. They would look at me in shock. Why would I put my career at risk with such a thing? But, they would reluctantly agr

Even if what you're saying is true, would you have given up all the economic, political, and influential gains that the U.S.A. has made since the federal government became powerful after the civil war? Without the strong federal gover
