It has to be a balance of opportunity and responsibility. If you mess up your life there have to be consequences and one of them is your children grow up in poverty. Else why would you not just enjoy your 20s and 30s and dont worry about building a career. At the same time there needs to be enough social mobility so that over 2-3 generations a poor man become a rich man. One generation rags to riches just leads to social instability and a gambler society.
Edge cases happen in the real world too. In fact an AI will have fewer edge cases than a human doctor because an AI can be programmed with multiple doctors' knowledge
SF is ridiculously overpriced. And there is pressure building to change the zoning laws to allow building up. Most jobs can be done remotely and social media is replacing serendipitous meetings so the benefits of living in the same city as rich VCs is going away. Given these factors what makes you think SF real estate will not stagnate?
BTW I am not assuming that I have the principal upfront . Say my Mortgage is 4500 - 1000 of which is going towards principal and 3500 towards interest. I can pay rent with 3500 and with the 1000 left over everymonth invest in a safe stock. Over 30 years I will have more at the end . Plus I would have the freedom to move anytime for better job offers without worrying about selling a house. Long term real estate has appreciated at 8% so has stock markets. Yes sometimes real estate goes up by 100% but then sometimes so does stock markets.
Surgery is fun. Cutting is FUN!!!.Its keeping the patient alive, making sure that sterile environments are maintained, making sure the nurses dont leave instruments inside the patient and closing up which is unfun. In order to reduce the cost of medical care in the US we need to attract more kids to surgery.
I propose holding an hour of Surgery event in every elementary school where you do surgery on a frog and prescribe laxatives to guinea pigs.
Also 7 days surgery bootcamps where anyone without any science background is taught to operate on dogs.
Also automation. Robots do surgery much better than humans
Alas none of this is going to happen as the American Medical Association has basically bought both parties. Wish the ACM was as good as the AMA at protecting the privileges of programmers
Thats bullshit. Even if Trump passed info which could help identify an Israeli agent why would that agent get killed. Russia is not going to leak it to ISIS. In case you havnt noticed Russia is fighting ISIS and large number of Israeli jews are Russian anyway. Israel is an ally of Russia as well.
If you bought in the past maybe. But today the interest portion of your mortgage is more than the rent. You can pay the rent with the interest portion and invest the principal portion and that principal will grow more than your house will ever appreciate.
The US put nukes into South Korea as well as invaded North Korea twice - once all the way to the Chinese border. If North Korea is hyper militarized its not because they want to but because they have to if they want to avoid becoming another East Germany. US would never have withdrawn from South Korea. Only way to get US to withdraw is to make the costs too heavy like in Vietnam.
US was also willing to put an entire nation (Cuba) into misery using sanctions just so that an example of a successful communist country would not be created at their doorstep.
US really cant take a moral higher ground with China. The Tibetan's were in a feudal theocracy from which China rescued them and they still have full cultural rights unlike the native Americans. When was the last time you saw a US Federal govt website had a Cherokee version but Chinese govt websites have Tibetan language versions.
This is not the door to the vault was left open. Rather the lock on the vault was easy to pick and the cops who are supposed to watch out for everyone ; when they found out; instead of telling the Bank created a set of custom lockpicks for that type of vault and then lost them in the common marketplace for any thief to pick up and use.
Land is cheaper in the US. Lower population and fewer deserts than China means land is more available. If the feed the robot jobs need a good technical education US workers can compete as the US education system is better. Shipping on the other hand is becoming cheaper. With more and more solar and EVs the demand for oil is going down so bunker fuel is getting cheaper. Only way to increase shipping costs is to reduce the US military footprint. Once the US is not keeping the peace on the high seas, piracy will increase the cost of shipping. So we can bring manufacturing jobs back but at the cost of military jobs.
The "Cold War" was used to justify a massive MIC for many years. After it was over instead of getting a peace dividend Bush got us involved in Iraq which led to 9/11 which led to the never ending "Wr on Terror". All Bugaboos to keep us scared and generate employment for "Analysts". I am not a Trump supporter. If anything I supported Sanders but I am loving how the Washington establishment is squirming when then trough of slop is being pulled away. CNN and WP feed at the same special interests trough.
Most means more than 50% say 51%. So 51% cannot afford 19000. So definitely 49% can and if you move the line to 18000 more than 50% can afford it so now the statement becomes "Most people in the US can afford a car at the average price of a car". Most doesn't really mean much.
Every nation looks out for its own interests. Israelis would share US shared intelligence if it helped their national cause. e.g. They are helping Al Qaeda in Syria because it keeps Syria unstable and no threat to Israel. This is even though they know Al Qaeda attacked the US on 9/11. If it is in US interests to get Russian cooperation against ISIS by sharing intelligence so be it. If this burns an Israeli spy tough luck. A judgement call has to be made that is the benefit worth the loss. The President is basically hired to make these calls. The CIAs job is to provide the information and let the President make the decisions. Now if as it is emerging the CIA did not brief the President on the source of the intelligence so that he could not make the right decision someone at the CIA needs to get fired.
You are talking about Special interests not Checks and Balances. Why is it Ok to share intelligence with Israel but not with Russia? Trump has been very open in his campaign that he will move away from the policy of confrontation with Russia and the people selected him. Maybe the people want Russia to be an ally rather than a bugaboo used to justify the employment of thousands of highly paid "Analysts" and "Talking Heads" . Are you surprised that these analysts and talking heads are doing everything in their power to prevent a rapproachment with Russia - after all they are fighting for their jobs, their private school tuitions and their Country club memberships.
The classification thing is bullshit. The CIA works for the President. NOt the other way round. If the President wants to share some information with a foreign power because it will help the USA he can do it. Who decides what is best for USA? Not the CIA. Not CNN. The people do and they select a representative to do it for them. Its called the President. All this outrage is basically undemocratic.
Corporeal punishment works when it is for discipline not out of anger. So if you are frustated and angry with something your kids did and slap them it doesnt work. But if you wait till you cool down, sit down with them , explain what they did wrong and how they are going to get punished (2 or 3 spankings) and then do it, it works. Of course this is only till kids become teenagers. Once hormones are flowing physical punishment only incites more rebelliousness but if you have been consistent with discipline by then you will not need physical discipline anyway. The point is not to hurt the kids but to put it into their minds that actions have consequences. Physical punishment is needed especially if you are not raising an overly consumerist and stuff oriented family. Its easy to take iPads away as an alternate punishment but it doesn't work in families where anyway you have restricted access to electronics to help the brain to develop and I would never want to take books away as punishment (even adult prisoners are allowed books)
Thanks for the correction. I remembered reading it somewhere but just couldn't recollect. On second thoughts it should have been obvious it was from the "Guru" of networking.
But the point is not every application cares about latency. If you are sending a music video off to the editing house to get edited and sent back in a month you dont care about latency. If you are streaming a netflix video you do care. But most of the time we dont think about what application cares about latency and what doesnt. Only bottlenecks like this make us think about it.
Isnt the whole point of progress to reduce labor force participation? The purveyors of the Industrial revolution promised us that by now we would all be leading lives of leisure while all the work was done by machines. Why are we till working 40 hours a week?
I am sure you follow what you preach in your own life. Instead of living in a house with Bedrooms, Living rooms , Kitchens and Batrooms you live in a collection of one room dwellings each with its own door and lock. After all you would not want to compromise the safety of your kitchen by letting anyone who gets past your front door to enter your kitchen?
Their are good reasons for integration and we have known that for hundreds of years - ever since we stopped using outhouses and started using indoor plumbing.
The Medical IT in America is so fragmented and confusing that even hackers give up as its too confusing. Its not also well integrated. The reason Americans pay 3 times other developed countries is Doctor's offices are employment generation schemes with receptionists, medical billing specialists, nurse's assistnats and what not. Many time the only way to take records form one doctor's office to another is print it out, hand carry it and have the new office type it back in. Not an environment easily hacked. Its already running as inefficiently as it can. No hack is going to slow it down.
It probably is traceable but the NSA is not letting it be known. They are probably keeping it in their backpocket to be used when its worth burning that card. This incident may just be worth burning Bitcoin for but we wont know till the NSA decides to. They may decide to still reserve the card for a future threat.

Stanford is located in Palo Alto. Palo Alto is one of the few cities in the country where it actually is cheaper to rent than buy

As a wise man once said - "Never underestimate the bandwidth of a truckfull of USB flash drives traveling on the highway".
We send stuff online even if its something which could be sent as a batch rather than needing any interactivity.
Resource limitations like this make it more clear where we really need bandwidth and where an alternate would work.
