This is an excellent point, however even so you'd still have another problem. Let's say this all works great, and we get to the prices that make it feasible. You're still just adding one go around to the carbon cycle. The fue

It's a little unclear to me how this is comparable to the Ellen Pao situation. Admittedly I haven't followed it as closely, but it sounded to me like she had some different ideas about where reddit should go and mishandled a key e

I'm not sure they always have the same color/clarity. I was looking around for diamonds at one point recently (friend's looking to propose) and the synthetic selection didn't seem to go all the way up to the highest end

This. So much this. One big problem with AI/ML as is currently eating the world is that it's just a really fancy averaging engine. It memorizes (incredibly, beautifully, superhumanly) but it doesn't really actually understand

I think you're right, these are good ideas. My concern for damage has to do with the ratio between production and wage. Obviously wage earners should keep more than they currently keep, but the amount they keep needs to be flexible. If

I disagree, it's a decent overview that introduces the major concepts and how they work. It's not intended to be at the cutting edge or to provide all caveats. By definition all textbooks in biochemistry, biology and the like are

Also perhaps because pay gaps tend to be much more subtle and propagate themselves through similarly subtle mechanisms s opposed to, "we pay men more than women!" policies. Doesn't make them less real or deleterious, but does

Is the Bolt not good enough? It has similar-ish performance to the base Model 3. It's not as pretty, but it's quite functional. It also lacks the supercharger network, so maybe we discount that. That said, it is easier to get one

I'm wondering if higher wages would end up happening in practice. It's entirely possible that if labor costs go up here, it will make produce farmed elsewhere (Mexico, Central America, even overseas) more price competitive. I thin

Maybe so, but I would argue a lot of the key information isn't that different for each type of medical event. (I'm leaving aside scheduling and insurance claims for now because I'm less familiar with things there but there ar

Anyone got trends or articles on how that affected solar adoption in Europe? I presume downward pressure but was EU-based manufacturing able to close some of the price gap or were there other forces that helped cushion the blow?

While I understand what you’re saying I’d respectfully disagree in places. You point out that most of these ideas predate religion and I think most people hold the more backward ideas due to habit and overall culture rather than explicit re

I think a whole lot of the divide we see is not state/region based but city vs. rural. See how many quite conservative congresspeople CA sends to the house, many of which just voted on a bill that will increase taxes on many Californi

Depends, for things like bikes (which cost even more to fly with at most airlines) it sometimes makes sense to ship. I don't think it's worth it for most bags though, $25 (common fee) is a pretty low price compared to what it cost

I think AlphaGo is a fundamentally different problem than is the protein folding problem. I can generate a Go board and a sequence of strictly valid moves because I know the rules for Go. With certain limited high level exceptions (like the

I think it's a pretty giant hurdle, and I don't think it's a strictly generational thing. Having been on both sides of the computational/experimental divide, I still fundamentally can't trust a result that has no ex

That's absolutely true, but also keep in mind the limitations of both the examples you give. Protein folding works pretty ok for short proteins on the order of ~200 amino acids. It gets considerably less good as the proteins get bigger

Some of Kurzweil's predictions also suffer from the idea that technology will have knock-on effects in less silicon-related fields like biology and medicine. For sure technology helps in those areas, but I haven't seen a fundamen

I think that reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of what the private sector does and what PhD programs do. PhD programs train scientists. I have often compared going to grad school in the sciences to years of getting punched in the face

The disconnect here is that while the "job" of a grad student is to do things like research and teaching, it's not the tuition part that is paying for that "job", it's the stipend. The stipend is already taxed.

Having seen the system work as a grad student, this would absolutely gut higher education research in the US. No chance would I have attended grad school if I were being taxed on tuition as income. Wired has another thorough write up here:
