This is disgusting misdirection and frankly feels fraudulent to me. The definition of fraud is as follows: Wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain. What Boeing is doing meets that definition of fraud

I’d hope so given the clusterfuck of problems with these machines.

They clearly are at no risk of being put out of business by Tesla. All electric car sales are still only a fraction of ICE and given Tesla’s stagnant sales nuns it looks like it will remain that way for a while. Tech early adopters have bou

You are correct. Endangered species protection didn’t mean shit at the time. Easy to access whales near shore were nearly wiped out, and whalers pursued deeper international waters for “supply”. For more information on this, I highly recom

I agree. It is truly unbelievable. Same with user goodwill. Microsoft is vaccuuming it all up. Meanwhile Microsoft is making tons of great moves to get devs and users back on their side.

I am very familiar with von Neuman. I understand the potential of what intelligent individuals can figure out and accomplish. Von Neuman was a truly incredible individual. My criticism is specifically directed at your timelines and foregone

This is risky behaviour though when dealing with other megacorps. Legal ramifications and antitrust suits come out of actions like that.

Your claims are completely unverifiable speculation and are frankly absurd. I would bet every dollar I have against there being a simple method to increase IQ by 0.5 SDs within 5-10 yrs. I’m sorry but your prediction of 5SD increase is fran

The shortage of almost any commodity or product is due to price. The earth has abundant amounts of rare earth elements, hydrocarbons, gold, platinum, silver etc. The iron laws of commodity trading are supply and demand curves. A non existen

It is possible that it is Facebook that won’t allow subordinates to step in, in place of Zuck and Sandberg. I’m not saying that is what is happening. But it could be. Facebook may see the risk to be too high for anyone but Zuck and Sandberg

Is there an actual possibility of burning coal in a”clean way” through any technology now or in the future? The current term “clean coal” is obviously BS, but is it possible either now or in the future, but just uneconomic? It is an immense

Unlike Elon Musk, Bezos has a tendency to set more accurate timelines. This is not to say that Space X’s achievements are not incredible. They are. It is just that Elon Musk projection timelines are pretty much always bunk, while Jeff Bezos

Ah okay. Great work with plotly on visualization then. This is a great skill to have and something I need to work on. I’ve added Kyso to my favorite list. I look forward to your future posts. I will likely publish something on my project

Very cool work here. This is a pretty epic post, so please do not take this the wrong way. I was under the impression that FB Prophet was optimal for significantly seasonal time series data. Honestly given the fickle nature of these kind o

Touch screens are without a doubt more dangerous. You are forced to take your eye off of the road to navigate the screen menus. There is nothing I prefer more in a car than the classic 3 physical knob layout for heat/cold, vent/se

While the Werther-effect[1][2] appears to be fairly well documented, it is very hard to point to causation in statistics like these. However, in spite of the questionable stats, many media outlets such as the CBC err on the conservative si

Define "the market". They are diversified across the "new tech" sphere, which on average produces mostly losers and a few big winners. Diversified tech funds or VC funds as a category, which mostly ignore the large cap a

Some of it, particularly the funding for investigative journalism and research, is valuable and on a completely different plane of standards than (some) random blogs. Much of it however, is not.

Of course. If the email contacts were of no value, Facebook wouldn't be taking them from accounts. People tend not to to steal worthless assets. Unfortunately, monetary loss for the user may be tougher to prove than monetary gain for t

What makes you think you will not pay a premium for iPhones in India in the future? Apple prices based on demand curves, not supply costs.

Thank you for the links. I had wrongly assumed cloning humans would be pretty much the same as cloning sheep. Quoting the second article: “Technically, there is no barrier to human cloning,” says ION director Mu-Ming Poo, who is a co-author

This is also why I hypothesize that at least one human clone is likely to exist or have existed. Cloning technology exists, and humans have therefore probably tried it somewhere.

Django is likely rising because Python is rising. Most people are learning Python as their first language, and Django is a logical tool for them to try to build web apps.

Sometimes, but sometimes muscle memory is what you want. Do you want to learn to play a fast guitar solo? Learn it slow, then play it incrementally faster a hundred times or more over a week. Do you want to get good at doing squats? Follow

Spot on, and a particularly good point for people overwhelmed with the volume of resources out there to learn things. Picking a method/book/instructor that seems to be getting good reviews and getting at it is far more important t

Indeed. That is why I included "Find good books and good teachers/videos/other instruction". They point out to you what and how you should practice, but practicing is still the key component.
