Einstein was not a very good mathematician. This quote from David Hilbert sums it up well:

“Every boy in the streets of Göttingen understands more about four-dimensional geometry than Einstein. Yet, in spite of that, Einstein did the work and not the mathematicians.”

Amazon's current market share (whether online or overall US retail) is not the point.

The point is how fast is that market share growing and where will it be in (say) 10 years time?

This article should be more accurately titled "Mensa membership associated with mental and physical disorders, research suggests"

A lot of the best startups (Airbnb, Uber) started with what was actually a dumb idea. But that dumb idea was in the neighbourhood of a very good idea, and the founders were flexible enough and persistent enough to navigate the startup from the former to the latter.

Nash said "the same way", not the "the same voice":

“the ideas I had about supernatural beings came to me the same way that my mathematical ideas did. So I took them seriously.” - Sylvia Nasar, "A Beautiful Mind"

App data is normally sandboxed. However, Keychain items can be shared between apps using keychain groups.

Great interview.

On the ground insight into venture incentives and how they are misaligned with the needs of startups and founders.

Terence Tao and Peter Scholze (and others) join the discussion in the comments section.

Ironic, that in the video, he urges his colleagues to emulate the American startup work ethic. Nowadays, it's the other way around.

There is note which reads "An improvement to our data collection system was applied from 05/08/2017."

Interesting tidbit, there was a bug in the computer assisted part of the proof (now fixed):

"Many thanks to Brendan McKay and Gordon Royle for letting me know overnight that they had successfully 4-coloured my 1567er; as a result I found a bug in the part of my code that implements the relaxation described in section 5.4 and now it agrees. "

I fear this is wishful thinking. Advances in AI are progressing a lot quicker than advances in neural interfaces. So we will most probably have superhuman AI long before we have neural interfaces.

And at that point it's game over for homo sapiens.

Identifying and squashing potential threats has been part of Facebook's playbook from the very early days. It's not surprising at all that they have developed internal tools and systems to formalize the process and make it more efficient.

The author implies that the idiom 'shelling out' has its origins in shell money, I'm pretty skeptical of that claim:

I think the argument is that although autism itself might be detrimental, the broad autism phenotype may have proved beneficial in human history.

Ok, I should have said that matter is conserved, because that's what the author is really talking about (even though he also calls it mass).

In any case, mass can't be converted to energy either because mass already is energy (that's what e = mc^2 means).

It's correct, mass is conserved in chemical reactions. The energy doesn't come from converting mass, it comes from rearranging atoms in molecules (which releases chemical energy).

I'm surprised to learn that he's from Far Rockaway (just like Feynman). I had assumed he was British for some reason.

I find it remarkable that it took humans so long (1849) to start mathematically investigating something as fundamental as knots.

Reminds me of Mark Zuckerberg.

If FLT hadn't already been proven then Feynman's argument would explain away the substantial numerical evidence collected in it's favor. In other words, it would suggest that FLT is just a statistical accident and true for no particular reason.

Of course, we now know that FLT is related to deep ideas in number theory.

It's not that half the UK is racist. It's that the racists now think half the UK agrees with them.

"This seems really simple and obvious to me. So what am I missing?"

Personal identity is a deep philosophical problem - see Derek Parfit's 'Reasons and Persons'.

Autonomous cars are an existential threat to Uber. It doesn't make sense for a manufacturer like Tesla or Google to leave money on the table like that. Hence Musk's reticence on commenting.
