   I've been thinking lately that half the US could opt out of public healthcare, the rest would subsidize them, and the per-capita cost on the payers would still be less than it is today through private insurance.

   I'm intrigued by the idea that electrical brain stimulation might somehow take the place of damaged or disconnected parts of the brain. I stumbled onto these links the other day while researching concussion and depression: https:&#x2F

   Ya I noticed that too when I tried to share it. I've been reading through the articles, and even though I am INFP and the author is INTJ, I align very strongly with many of the main points so far. It's a strange feeling to have (w

   From the article: In general, when building a data model for end users you're going to want to materialize as much as possible. This often means denormalizing as much as possible so that, instead of having a star schema where joins ar

   I watched the 30 second video, and they mention that there is no collaboration (by design). Does anyone know of a site that does have collaboration? My situation is that I'm getting back into contracting after being at an office job fo

   Sorry ya without context, I don't suppose my comment made sense. I grew up in Idaho and went through a couple of recessions. Most of the TV/movies from that time like Family Ties and Ferris Bueller's Day Off portray it as pro

    That's why we're living in a time of phantom prosperity. An analogy is when celebrities make a million dollars and think that they are rich, only to spend it all and find that they owe half a million dollars in taxes. After sellin

    And therein lies the real problem with Yang’s outlook. It’s not just unrealistic. It’s lazy. And this is why Yang is the most prescient of any of the candidates. He looked at the problem, broke it down into its basic components, extrapola

    I'll bite. This is pretty much all I think about anymore, so, after so many years of doing it, the best answer I can come up with is that necessity has been conflated with profitability. So, if you look around you, you'll find tha

    Also I would argue that the smug truisms that people spout such as "divestment won't solve climate change" have a very damaging effect on causes that require concerted action by the public. For example the "Penn & Te

    This is a widely held misconception. Humans tend to expand into every niche and use up all available resources. Tragedy of the commons is an almost certainty without some kind of government intervention (social engineering). So we're p

    You're conflating lack of opportunity with artificial scarcity. The US is in a position where it spent trillions of dollars to educate young people, but then saddled them with a trillion dollars in student loans. So rather than being a

    It's not a technological problem, it's a political problem. We could have automated things like solar energy production in the early 80s but the powers that be said no. We could have done similar things with mass transit, or organ

    I haven't studied it deeply, but a breadcrumb would be that cooperative threads (green threads) are equivalent to coroutines. Ok it looks like current techniques are stackless runtimes and compiling coroutines to stackless continuation

    That's true in a way, but only for multithreaded code. Multi-process code with full isolation uses different metaphors like joining threads within higher order functions to achieve parallelism in code that looks single-threaded. For ex

    That's actually not true - the efficiencies due to copying can be overcome with the runtime or abstractions. For example, the copy on write (COW) mechanism of unix where memory pages are mapped to the same location until a forked proce

    Do you support MATLAB or GNU Octave? I'm looking for the level of abstraction below TensorFlow because I find pure matrix math to be more approachable. Admittedly, I'm not super experienced with TF, so maybe it can encapsulate the
