umm wasnt this tried in the 90s and failed miserably?
I don't know what was tried in the 90's, but here in Europe we have mandated competition on the local loop, and it works. I can choose between more than a dozen ISPs. My current ISP allows me to run servers (ssh/mail/http/games/...), I have a fixed IPv4 address, a custom host name, IPv6 support, 100/33 Mbps uncapped bandwidth. Just tested my speed on speedtest.net, and I got 97/30 Mbps.
so excess sugar isn't the cause of diabetes (and is actually correctly compensated at the beginning) it's the result of an insulin pathway that got fucked up, e.g. by the bad eating habits.
bad eating habits = too much sugar,
When you eat too much sugar, the body produces more insulin to force the sugar into the cells, cells get too much sugar, and reduce their insulin sensitivity. After a while, you see blood sugar rise, but the damage has already been going on for years, usually.
Our bodies are designed to digest mainly vegetable based food. There's a whole bunch of crappy side-effects from eating too much meat, even if many people have lost weight on higher protein diets.
Most vegetables are leafy, and offer very little calories. Big starchy vegetables are a fairly modern invention. And high meat diet doesn't mean high protein. You should eat the fatty parts, especially.
Going through the Van Allen belts is easy. Momentum will do the job. As far as radiation damage, yes, it happens. It's not immediately fatal, but most Apollo astronauts have shown long term effects of radiation exposure.
The algorithms we are using were mostly invented before 2007. Deep learning merely means taking those algorithms and applying incredible computing power to them.
I didn't mean to imply that the algorithms were novel, just that the results have exploded. And now that we know we're on the right path, progress will continue by exploiting specialized hardware for this particular function, instead of using general purpose computers.
The latest AI is powerful because we can directly manipulate the design of a relatively tiny network that do relatively basic things
The funny thing is that the latest AI isn't fundamentally different than the AI in the 80's that didn't work. We've made a few small improvements in the function, but most of the progress has been made by increasing the size of the networks.
This is where the hype begins, there is a galactic sized space between this infinitesimal functionality and the network of networks of networks of networks of networks that make up something remotely conscious and "smart" in the inventive, creative and insightful sense that we think of humans being smart.
It's possible that we only have to make a few more small improvements, and a further increase of the network size to achieve that. That's how our brains evolved from small rodents to us.
No. More like in 300 years considering the "progress" in AI.
The progress on AI in the last 10 years was more than the 290 years before that. And Moore's law is far from dead. Just look at what our brain can do, and they're made from milk and sandwiches.
None, but we're kinda stuck doing it, because the alternative is unpleasant.
If you don't agree with the merits of the human race becoming a starfaring civilization centuries from now
Either progress will continue for the next couple of centuries, or civilization will collapse. In the first case, they will be in a much better position to explore space with much superior technology. In the second case, it's pointless anyway.
Apart from the energy required to move the asteroids in the first place, there's also a lack of stable lunar orbits. You don't want the asteroid to escape, and get smashed into the Earth at some point in time.
His own rockes, paid by the people who give money to the US government - the tax payers and the foreign lenders.
The US government is only paying for rocket launches they need themselves, and would have paid someone else if SpaceX didn't exist. They aren't paying his Mars adventures.

if a transponder is placed every 60 feet, then there will be plenty of time to broadcast a message.
Good luck, I don't have an FM receiver.
because building a mass driver on the moon would be easier than acquiring nukes.
There are thousands of nukes on Earth, and not a single mass driver on the moon.
Plus there are many cheaper ways to create havoc that don't require a nuke.
Except some women like being grabbed by the pussy and will happily accommodate you given the right conditions
Power and money go a long way towards setting up the right conditions. That was the point behind the quote.

Exercise leads to increased appetite, so the net weight loss is usually small, because people will just eat the calories they've lost.

What actually works is a permanent lifestyle change, consisting of eating healthy
Where "healthy" is actually a lot more fat and less carbs than currently recommended. It's not a fad, it's a permanent lifestyle change.
Adding more hardware is a large part of the recent progress, yes.
Not yet psychologists, but we do have AIs that can analyze mammograms better than human doctors.
Don't have kids, if you can't afford them.
You're not getting the point, which is: don't live in the bay area unless you can afford it.
You obviously have never lived in the Bay Area.
Trying to live in the Bay Area on an inadequate salary is part of being "a dumbass who doesn't know how to manage his money".
Our minds have evolved naturally without anybody understanding how they work. Functioning rockets have not.

I mean, for me intelligence implies some sort of "conscience" that can make decision "outside the box".
People don't make decisions outside the box. Some people just have a big box.

I don't know if Mr Son is right or wrong, but he doesn't seem to be an expert on the matter, so his is just another opinion.

That way you are not launching tons of rocket parts out of Earth's gravity well
Instead, you'll be launching millions of tons of factory parts out of Earth's gravity well to land them on the Moon.
What, exactly, is the purpose of life?
None, but we're kinda stuck doing it, because the alternative is unpleasant.

There have been many more people on the moon than have been down on the deep sea floor.
I'm sure the size of the budget had something to do with that.
In short, exploring and living in the depths of the sea is magnitudes harder
We choose to go to the sea floor in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard.
