   EU where innovation goes to die. However industry 4.0 and other initiatives are rather exciting. Wonder why they keep sucking at consumer tech.

   Theres a whole book about it that makes the claim that development is impossible without state intervention - how asia works. The anecdetoal evidence there is rather compelling.

   And these countries have never had economic problems. Still if the number is 10pc and 15pc that is really high.

   From a strategic standpoint its extremely bad to have the data in some other country. It can be used for all kinds of creatively drstructive purposes. Also protectionism is not that bad as long as competition is stiff in thr local market. W

   The pacemaker example doesn't resonate with me. Its a very well-posed problem - don't let the patient die. You don't have to be user to understand how to make things better. For things like personal computing its a bit differ

   I suppose a derivative of serendipity is at work here. That is we accidentally find something unused and is suddenly very useful (backprop although not a perfect example). But I think there was a paper sometime back that showed if you want

   I believe this demonstrates the spectrum of pde research. You have people from both ends contributing. Since functional analysis gets used a lot in pdes especially when dealing with weak solutions it would make sense that it appeals to be p

    I can't argue for pure math. But atleast in applied areas such as pde a lot of the problems are motivated by real physical problems. To solve many of these would require theoretical breakthroughs I guess (cant be sure I dont have a phd

    Yes, apple has made some questionable decisions. But Facebook has made downright unethical decisions. I am not trying to "what-about-it" their mistakes, however for the amount of effort they put in to ensure user privacy and secur

    I see. That is tight. But that simply tests thinking under time pressure. Fewer problems with higher difficulty level may help here (like the Olympiads or Putnam but both being extreme examples). But the challenge would then be to come up w

    I think without numbers the way students get selected would be the same way ball players got selected before Billy Beane and Oakland As. The problem is with the metric not the method.

    I guess thats a problem with the SAT. I saw a couple of questions and a lot of them are very easy for college entrance exams. I think university entrances should be a bit on the tough end (China's standardized tests and JEE from India

    I like this method of "selection by rejection". It makes sense. People like stuff for a variety of reasons, what one ought to be looking for is adversarial feedback. But how do you choose which bad reviews to ignore ?

    Perhaps this approach of end to end testing is great for startups. Although e2e tests can be hard to write, they can be a significant boost when moving with high velocity.

    I can't comment on point 1 since I don't work in the Bay Area. But going by the reported this makes sense. However, there must be ways for employees to be making significant money, else everybody would just insist on moving to som

    In comparisions like these where they make claims that 100k isn't enough for a family of four, do they take into account the significant amount of equity people get working at the Bay Area. I guess all major money is in the stock grant

    I kinda agree with this. One place where I think user agnostic search engines are better is that your bubble is burst by default. You can see the different with Google and DDG. DDG sometimes does give outdated results but their results chan

    > AI and biotech are two areas where we really need close regulatory oversight, to keep all the "move fast and break things" startup superstars at bay If this is a pun, its a very good one.

    This is a very good strategy. I guess it should be hard to execute but once you perfect it basically the small market problems are gone. Any idea whats the general way startups go about doing that ? Also how do you immigrate to Israel (:D)

    I suppose the counter to these moronic laws that make Brexit look like a great decision would be some new form of copyright like CC. We could in theory slap these on all community created content. My guess would be that this sort of informa

    I never understood the lamentation of Europe not having an internet giant and I mean it as a question. Does it matter whether the companies are American ? I mean their economic contribution are taxes and jobs. Companies would pay as little
