No, I recognize it's a hard problem, that's why we should be devoting significant resources to doing things now. I get the point about unintended consequences with cascading problems (and cascading solutions to the new…
When you have treated all symptoms and stopped them from arising again, the disease is effectively cured even if you still carry it. The final solution will be complete mastery over our planetary weather, it's better we…
I'm a fan of: http://stanford.edu/~moore/Boon_To_Man.html Near the end: "If mankind had to choose between a warmer or a cooler climate, humans, most other animals and, after adjustment, most plants would be better off…
Buy iron, dump in ocean. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_fertilization) Donate to geoengineering efforts and lobbying against insane moratoriums against geoengineering efforts.
"Runtime", or "REPL" time, or "doc time" are all ways you can just "look at it". Do you think knowing "x" is type "Foo" tells you anything about what you can do with "x", other than use it where you can use "Foo"s? You…
I doubt Rich will ever push for it, but stranger things have happened. Types get in the way of data. When you ask a request "What's in you?" in Clojure you can just look at the data and find out. In Java you can…
Any goal by the President must be fulfilled within 8 years at most, otherwise there's no chance. See for instance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_outpost_%28NASA%29 initiated by Bush and killed by Obama. Greater…
And as long as they do pop up scary warnings when the DV certificates change possibly due to a MitM attack it'll be even more fine.
Pretty hard to imagine people here aren't familiar with Lovelace. I'd rather see more things named after https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Hamilton_%28scientist... or…
Liberals simultaneously believe they can outlaw guns but they can't outlaw drugs. Hypocrisy can be fun to notice in your hated enemy, but sometimes you have to dig into the details of each idea separately without…
There was no censorship on saying a lot of things the puritans didn't like said, but the consequences of saying them could be your life. Nowadays the consequences for saying what you can't say are merely limited to loss…
Just another instance of dunning-kruger. When he's older and had more interactions with lower IQ people, he may come to terms with his gifts...
But magic powers at 30.
Flooding the country with Arab speaking immigrants with the goal that some will filter up to the TLA agencies to help with surveillance on their former countrymen is ludicrous. If you want the numbers of Arabic speakers…
I was an October baby, so I started "a year late". I only had one good friend a year above me, we got out of touch when he went to Junior High while I was stuck in 6th grade. My other friends were in the same year and…
Batman was pretty bad, but you can't use any game from Bethesda to further your argument. It's pretty well known that if you don't want a super buggy Bethesda experience, wait for the game of the year edition.
The data should speak for themselves. Unfortunately people who don't know statistics think they can't, because as we found out from emails, the data were "manipulated" via statistical methods:…
Is there potential evidence you could imagine that would change your mind about that premise? I agree with GP that inequality is fine if the basic needs of everyone are met, I also go further and agree with Paul Graham…
But like, how are you supposed to move when you have no car, no job, no computer, are 20 miles from the nearest city with things like libraries in it, and use up enough a fraction of your parents' monthly income (or…
You kind of need an AI God to bootstrap that. At least, that's the easiest way to get from here (needing a money concept) to there (not needing a money concept).
Is IQ a resource?
You don't really need it when reading tutorials either. Rainbow, simple matching, or manually counting parens is very much helpful when you're editing code, not so much when you're reading, at least if the code follows…
Very neat demo, I hope it gets integrated into the major Clojure IDEs soon as it could make the onboarding experience smoother. I'm happy with just vim though -- I never liked the fashion of editors…
It's pretty expensive, my own informal surveying of people with kids suggests the 'good' childcare places are basically equivalent of an extra one-bedroom apartment per month per kid. Relative to historical standards,…
Some other perspectives on "rehabilitation": it's easy to associate that word with treatments like Anders Breivik's, which to many (most?) Americans seems insane and they feel he should just be shot. A variant of 2 is…
