Fascinating that High Performance Computers had export controls in the 90s as dual use technology but little restraint until recently.

How would we apply this today? Instead of MTOPS use TFLOPS FP16?

I thought your comment was a joke until I read the link. Wow

"District Attorney investigators found that in contradiction to the contract, information was stored on servers in the People’s Republic of China."

Every org that hired Alan Kay as a fellow was closed

Do you have the link to the documentary?

This hardly meets the definition of brief description, let alone a "Deep Dive".

I recommend reading this blog post and drawing your own conclusion.

My conclusion is PG's "I can lay out what I know to be the right thing to do, and still not do it."

Yes.

“To boost sales in India, Apple has started to assemble several iPhone models locally and reached a stage where it can begin to export to overseas markets phones produced in India. Assembling phones in India allows Apple — as it does to other phone makers — to enjoy some tax benefits that Narendra Modi’s government provides.“

Apple - We can't make iPhones in the US and tariffs don't work

Also Apple - Tariffs made us move production to Brazil and India.

"I wonder if the so-called developed countries should be careful of their own premature deindustrialization. The US industrial base has faltered, but there is still so much left to build. Until we’ve perfected asteroid mining and super-skyscrapers and fusion rockets and Jupiter colonies and matter compilers, we can’t be satisfied with innovation confined mostly to the digital world."

It is not. This is another example of "looks like, but doesn't work like". You often see people print noses, ears, whatever that have cells in them. That doesn't make it functional tissue.

Former Democrat Gov. Jerry Brown vetoed the safe injection site bill saying "enabling illegal and destructive drug use will never work."

Doesn't look like "the Republican Party at the national level" to me.

These Mozilla blogs are some of the best edited, articulated and illustrated explanations I've seen on the web. I wish more people could put in the resources to help communicate their mission like this.

It is the same reason why Taleb does not accept prizes and Peterson reminds us that "you are not the wave" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmjAVZjLQr8

Altman (YC) leans into SF

Will be interesting to see the winning move

Malthus is wrong and "more people" = "lack of environmentalism" is zero-sum thinking.

Instead consider the positive-sum "We need more people to solve bigger problems" that follows from Esther Boserup's theory. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ester_Boserup#Work

Wow, he called the HelloSign acquisition in 2015. His other two suggestions (native search and messaging) are still in limbo.

Girard Startup lessons:

- the founders set a contagious mission that infects the company

- competition can be destructive, work hard to be a monopoly

- the founders take all responsibility and share all success

TLDR; emulate Christ

Does anyone have a printable version of this with the figures?

Follow the science, forget the epidemiology/poorly controlled science news.

Sustainability of improved health outcomes (https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs13300-018-0373-...)

Rapid impact on type 2 diabetes (https://diabetes.jmir.org/2017/1/e5/)

Significant impact on cardiovascular risk factors (https://cardiab.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12933-01...)

It is and its worse than you think. Here's a 2016 article https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/S-F-spends-recor...

Confirmed. 46% of US voters are fascist.

  "Fascist" can be understood as any entity which supports radical authoritarian
  nationalism. Example: Donald Trump is a fascist, if you donated to his
  campaign then all rights provided by this license are not granted to you.

Great writing by Gary A. Taubes who is now better known for writing about carbohydrates and sugar through books like "Good Calories, Bad Calories"

I'm interested in the original idea. Can you expand on how your ideal system would function?

That list is misleading. Yes "young people buy stupid stuff" but the list is describing "cars with highest RATES of millennial buyers" not "most popular cars millennials buy". If I sold 10 used Deloreans and millennials bought 5, it would be at the top of this list.

Absolutely. In a Design for Manufacturing class, this extreme example will be shown on day 1.
