The video itself felt like one of those old bigfoot vidoes.

I want to believe in aliens as a huge fan of star trek (TNG is best :) ), but I feel skeptical for now.

Nationalists are rising or at least becoming more vocal in at least Britain, India, United States, Austria, Germany, Korea, and Japan.

They are direct threats to the established status quo. Censoring their political speech will cause a "Streisand Effect" and only further galvanize a backlash against the establishment.

Social Media will probably be broken up by country (Ex. The chinese model), so that national laws on speech can be enforced.

However pros and cons of the new political groups must be debated on a public stage.

This is something that is burning the good will towards apple. Something that is in shorter supply since the days of Steve Jobs. You can see the polarization about it on social media.

Again whether the feature was good/bad, there is clearly something to be learned from the shitstorm that it is causing. Something I hope Tim Cook learns quickly.

But its clear we need a nonpartisan group who can successfully rally most of America on the left and the right.

If that's the social cue to make tech okay for a large majority of girls, what's the harm. Most people seem to want to be male or female.

The more options the better, I think. We need to increase the amount of women in tech.

She is important but Xi, Bezos,and Musk are radically changing the face of the world in a much much greater capacity.

EDIT:

Musk has the hyperloop, tesla, spacex. These are what I consider revolutionary technologies that could change the face of our global civilization.

Bezos is eating the world with amazon, whole foods, and washington post. Amazon is leading so many new industries drone deliveries, cloud, and so many are cities are competing for hq2. What isn't amazon doing lately ?

Xi is changing the face of silicon valley by making SV more like china which has huge global implications.

I think Fowler is great, but she isn't on the same level.

I assumed its really due to a lack of well paying jobs, combined with an increased debt burden from college.

I guess one could argue technology has lead to increased automation and reduction of jobs typically found outside of cities.

I don't think I understand.

I suppose it depends on your view of the theory of scientific revolutions.

I expect a technological singularity to supplant/replace biological life completely.

It helps but not as much as I would like.

This quote really stuck out to me. "In the pay-per-page view model, every post is a conflict of interest."

Really frightening stuff.

I didn't, and seeing it presented like this is horrifying. It really begs the questions do we even have a legitimate media, and not a mercenary media that kneels to the highest bidder.

Universities need to return to their core purpose teaching young minds, furthering science, or preparing them for jobs.

Instead of the corporate universities drowning students in debt.

A nuclear family doesn't inherently make us miserable, nor does it force us to avoid our extended family. No one is stopping the author from meeting other moms or other people.

In my town, many moms (of many different races too) meet up at the local coffee shop, they trade tips, setup play dates, and sometimes they even go shopping together.

She could visit her extended family, she could make friends, she could try to be part of her community.

This kind of stuff doesn't magically happen even in the asian communities, where we live in extended families. Plus even in extended families we have different griefs, interfamily conflict is a common.

EDIT: Another comment now dead mentioned suburban nation. Its a good but biased book.

It gives some good explanations of how housing subdivisions, shopping centers, office parks, civic institutions, and roadways affect people.

Its time the global community makes tax havens illegal.

This wired uk writer just made a point that just stupefied me.

"The biggest casualty to AI won't be jobs, but the final and complete eradication of trust in anything you see or hear. "

Still haven't found a good way to deal with high bias or high variance myself.

Though I don't read fiction this way.

Doing X like Person Y makes life Z really only works well when you are basically very similar to person Y.

Emailing like a CEO works best when you are a CEO, and are above office politics.

Probably shouldn't email like a CEO if you aren't one.

That is just insane.

2. Use Anki for difficult memorization

3. Use mindmaps for difficult concepts

4. Practice Coding

5. Sleep and Exercise for mental health

I've also found a low carb high fat diet helps me focus a lot more ymmv .

The trend of corporate consolidation is concerning, we need more monopoly busting, and anti-trust investigations.

Tim Cook is so busy chasing money, he has lost his principles. I can't blame him for trying to increase Apple's revenue, but I can dislike what he is promoting intensely.

China will change Google and Apple, rather than the other way around.
