Like how Tableau is a great UI for grammar of graphics, Palantir is a great UI for ontological expert systems. Technically you could do everything without it but organizations and especially government typically don’t cultivate that level o

I gather that such places do exist it would help if you gave an example. When I did travel to middle america there seemed to be a general drug problem and associated thefts. Perhaps there could be a copper theft map which could be used as a

Also Black Cube, I had a long list but seem to have misplaced it. Black seems to hint at secretive when you can say spy agency.

I intended to make a weaker claim of ‘in general long run / maintainable’ circumstances and should have done so. Many low cost areas have bad crime problems, there is another little phenomenon where the wealthy by doing a poor job in g

It's not that simple. If a poor person makes zero dollars how much of the reduced cost item could they now afford? We have a massively distorted economy driven by debt financialization and legalised banking cartels. It leads to weird i

No, I think it's likely that this is the first major productivity boom that won't be followed with a consumption boom, quite the opposite. It'll result in a far greater income inequality. Things will be cheaper but the poor w

It’s one of those ironies in power structures, how a ‘communist’ society can act as turbo capitalist one and visa versa. It’s a mistake to think that just because things are one way at the top they’re the same way all the way down the power

In this case it was trivial to normalize for work done. It’s very human to want to be forgiving of mistakes, after all who has not made any mistakes, but there are different classes of mistakes made by all different types of people. If you

Why would you do that? You’re sampling from a distribution, a single sample only carries a small amount of information, repeat samples compound though.

I was able to run some stats at scale on this and people who make mistakes are more likely to make more mistakes, not less. Essentially sampling from a distribution of a propensity for mistakes and this dominated any sign of learning from m

I use blue blocking glasses, like Bono but darker and they do work. I also use UV LEDs to help me wake up, which also works. I agree with the premise that night shift and other color warmth features are insufficient to have a strong effect,

Is the suggestion they would work out more if they were paid? I think if obtaining Olympic medals was a function of training more then the avengers would be far higher.

You are wrong on the definition of arbitrary. I’m pretty sure laws can be changed easier than lifespans can doubled. You can’t always do things right the first time because knowledge unfolds with time, you’ll always know more later. You are

The numbers are not arbitrary if they’re based on data, and generalizations are done for the sake of expediency and practicality. If such things are wholly unimportant then sure, capability test all the things.

Theoretically it can be, though usually not, so the question is what should be the law to cover the general case. It wouldn’t be such a problem if it were easy for them to get around without driving. Either self driving cars, subsidized Ube

Just because you can’t do it with your chosen tools it does not mean it cannot be done. I’ve already granted the premise that it is impractical. Unless there is a framework that already guarantees determinism you’ll have to roll your own, w

Maybe if the law required all knives to be pink they might be too embarrassed to murder someone. One problem then is the switch to acid attacks which are just clear liquids in containers.
