Maybe this is a little bit OT, but I think the biggest problem with the baby boomers is that, 12 years after '68, Reagan is elected and the whole generation basically turned their back on their youthful idealism and proceeded to create the

I think you did a very good job shoehorning the key phrases 'wealth creation', 'big government' and 'private sector' into your appearance so that you could get the bloomberg audience on your side. Nicely done.

I'd love to see these learning centers have certificate programs so that you can get the piece of paper that we still need these days.

Not the ghetto, just a normal neighborhood. A bit dicier than your typical picket-fenced suburb but that really just comes with living in the midst of the great recession.

You can get a 5/3 for 1/10 of that price (literally just saw one listed for 65k) in Pittsburgh. And Pittsburgh was one of the few places not hit that hard by the real estate downturn.

GM crippled themselves with terribly designed automobiles that no one wanted to purchase. Power and information asymmetry are the rule when you are negotiating with your boss independently. He knows what the other employees at your company

I'm pretty sure it's just the bay area salary and cost of living inflation vs the rest of the US.

I'm pretty darn excited for an automated car to drive me to work and then go back to my garage. Or to drive me home after too much to drink at the bar. Or to take me between major cities at like 200 MPH on robo-freeways.

The end of Google health was really sad. A centralized medical records system would be an incredible time and money saver for healthcare. Although I'd love a self-driving car, and I think it will certainly save a lot of lives.

I've worked with some GOTS software that came from Sandia and some that came from Lawrence Livermore. It's honestly kind of crappy.

IANAEE but is there some way to integrate peltier junctions into a 3D microchip design so that the heat all gets funneled out of the CPU in a regulated and controlled manner?

Taleb is an excellent writer and not (as someone here has stated) someone completely delusional. He, in fact, worked in the financial industry for many years and I thoroughly enjoyed reading his book "The Black Swan"[1] about how we've basi

Solar is going to be a disruptive technology in the future. Something I'm pretty excited about.

I heard about stigler through the excellent documentary "Der Ister"[1] which was a very good treatment of time and heidegger's philosophy of technology. Thanks for the info on this other book. [1] http://www.theister.com/

A lot of people live in a bubble where the only people they know where those who they went to (expensive private) college and (wealthy suburban) high school with. At that point you literally never get to come in contact with people not as f

The incredible wealth disparity in this country is quite disturbing. And one look at the data confirms that reality. Half of workers barely make enough to get by. And I assure you that a very large portion of those making under the median p

There's almost no competition between the two. Mainly because you can't really put free courses on a resume. The education is free but the credentials aren't?

College students are surrounded by drugs. They flow so freely that it seems like prohibition isn't really working. People who want drugs can get them. I don't do them either, nor do I have the desire but it just seems like only the poor and

Definitely true that whole grains > processed flours. Oily and fried foods are also to be avoided where you can.

In my experience diet is WAY more important than exercise. I bike to work about 3 miles so I get some moderate exercise but not a great deal. What really changed my body is when I decided to go vegan. I eat far healthier than I ever have an
