  1. That was extremely interesting talk must check out the whole thing.

  2. Most people can eat five meals a day and be perfectly ok. It really depends on what they are eating and their physical activity levels. Sitting around all day on a computer and eating heavy starchy meals 5 times a day is a recipe for disaster.

  3. Mick West has no points. He simply is way outside his area of expertise. He is a games programmer let's stop pretending he is an expert in aviation or flight systems. How would you feel if people started to debunk professional football but never played it before or do not know the rules of the game. Most fans would say that is preposterous.

  4.  @direwulf6195  Adding a small amount of meat to your healthy diet of vegetables will not do you any harm. You by the way and not realize it are on a restricted diet like those that are on carnivore. You feel good but you are going for the short term gains.

  5.  @martinw245  Sorry but saying that Fravor is not an expert in avionic systems is beyond a joke.

  6. There are certain techniques that work better in certain language. There are certain languages that do a good job of hitting multiple programming methods.

  7.  @user-ue8vp6fy8y  Mathematics? He does not have all the data present to make such mathematical calculations. Playing and making video games does not make a person an expert in aviation systems. He needs to stick to games.

  8.  @lederse  His mathematical applications and models do not prove anything. They lack model resolution and are a set of assumptions that are not based on technical systems analysis.

  9.  @sheikhakbar2067  It has nothing to do with being a republican. People feel that Gates working on projects that are dangerous. Now I do not agree with this world view of Gates and I think he is doing a good job. I do not agree with everything he is doing but its his big programs of vaccination that is helping the world especially africa.

  11.  @direwulf6195  I will let you in on a big secret animals eat animals.

  12.  @martinw245  He is an engineering graduate from Naval academy. And is top gun and works on the calibration of flight systems. And you think he is not an expert on the system? There are no engineer that knows every aspect of a system. Those flight systems require multi disciplinary teams. The develop of such systems involves whole divisions of research and can cost hundreds of millions and even billions in development. So are you talking about a design engineer or maintenance.

  13. If it is a simulation we are clearly experiencing it so it is self centred.

  14. A gun is the best chance of self defence in for elderly people. Getting out of there is not always the best option.

  15. I never would have guessed he was gay because I simply do not care and never gave it a moments notice.

  16. The CIA do not have the time or resources to be messing around inside the US. They barely have enough to deal with their stated job. They are a government department plague by the big government approach that means they sometimes struggle to function properly and to their full potential. It is the FBI and police that does internal intelligence in the US.

  20. Conservativism while being focused on tradition is not a slave to tradition but it does recognise the universal truths of free speech, the right to life and the ability to have private possessions. These ideas are as old as the hills. Conservatism does no say you cannot have a TV or the ability to use the internet. Nor does it say that two men cannot have a relationship but it warns that if a society is based on men having romantic relationships that society will collapse.

  21. But was the bear that was used against the lion an aggressive individual animal and was the lion equally as aggressive. A lion that is not into the fight simply is not a good choice against a bear that is super aggressive.

  22. I am simply not buying the whole feel of the game nonsense through simple indications. The idea that a grandmaster can somehow be directed to a more favorable game direction is silly at best. There is just too many variables at play.

  23. @Potato Face I would suggest going to see a doctor that specializes in functional or Integrative medicine. You may be vegan and feel healthy but you may also be eating a high carbohydrate diet that will create problems down the line. Meat is probably not the source of your digestive problems.

  24. A person can be a liberal and a Conservative at the same time.

  25.  @user-ue8vp6fy8y  So what data has he to suggest that the object is at 12,000 feet above sea level, what evidence does he have of the mass of the object, temperature, distance from observation, angle of observation or data from the operating condition of the observation craft? So has he carried out extensive analysis of energy emission from the observed object to correlate its relationship in terms of temperature and radiation wavelength. I am doubtful that any any waveform analysis of Stefan-Boltzmann Law and its impact on systems observation of the black body was carried. Most of these skeptics are way outside their comfort zone.

  26. Some of you simply cannot stand that there are people out there who are different. It used to be in society that everybody understood that it was buyer beware but today you all seem to want people protected.

  27. None of it has been debunked. Most of those that claim they debunked it are nothing more than fools way out side their own circle of competence. Claiming it birds or insects is being childish with an over simplified world view. Some of them need to go back to making video games and writing articles for porn mags.

  31. Without capitalism and a market economy we would still be living in the feudal era with very little technology. ARM is doing exactly what it needs to do and there will be other companies.

  34.  @mathewlegrange5880  Small government does not mean no government nor does it mean that there is a vacuum. It requires that society has a population of citizens that take active party in their society so that various co-operatives and corporations do not get to take complete control.

  35.  @DeviantDeveloper  Most students coming out of college are not Marxists. Only a small number are. The problem is that most people are voting for parties when they should be voting for issues.

  38.  @davefroman4700  Tesla does not manufacture chips so how could they be ahead of them? Can I ask do you suffer from Tesla fanboy syndrome. Tesla does make great luxury cars though. I do assume you mean tesla is ahead in terms of ai?

  39.  @hypno5690  I do not care if he is gay or straight and will judge him on his performance which is far more important to be honest. Remember when we used to have ideas about not judging people on the color of their skin but on the substance of their character.

  40.  @illdeletethismusic  Free software and hardware sounds great but how are you going to make that work at a market level. Who is going to put up capital with no return?

  41.  @SakowskiStudios  Imaging and weapons systems are designed to compensate for distance, angles and speed. It would be super natural to express that a bird would present some sort of ability to outperform such a system unless you are suggesting that the system is not operational?

  42. It probably does not help. He is correct about eating too much meat though. A good diet would have vegetables and meat.

  43. The original was more groundbreaking as it is 40 years old.

  44. Conservatism addresses universal concepts such as ownership, family and other traditions. As a codified philosophy conservatism has been around since the 1700s but the ideas that it are based on are much older. Liberty and conservatism are not opposing philosophies. They have lots of overlap and a person can be both a liberal and a conservative.

  45. Politicians? You mean the whole of society. We act as if politicians are some sort of different alien race when they are straight out of our culture and mirror what people want or are not willing to put the effort into. I suppose that is what years of media propaganda does to a society it turns them into apathetic creatures.

  46. There is no such thing as represented democracy as It is a oxymoron. A republic creates representation and legislation with the main reason to stop the 51% in a moment of craziness introducing something that could hurt the 49% that may also in the long run hurt the 51%. An example of this could be prohibition of something such as what the US attempted but got overturned. With democracy the 51% could introduce such enormous levels of legislation that could destroy the society. What if the US at the exact same times prohibition of alcohol had of introduced prohibition of medication (there was a movement for that as well).

  47. A clip on tie could still be used to strangle a person just become it unclipps does not mean it cannot be wrapped around the neck area. A neck tie is a massive risk in a fight and has been know for a long time.

  48. It is his favorite films not what is the best films. Blade Runner is a fantastic cult film but it is not a patch on the godfather, Searchers, Ben-hur, Vertigo, Rear Window or even Lord of The Rings for that matter.

  49. @MD I disagree as you could do it with any language.

  50. Why does it have to always be considered in terms of General AI. Can it not be a general purpose AI that adds something to the world or has great applications.

  51. The only way to beat the market is to select good quality businesses that perform. Now it sounds easier than it is.

  52. The absolute obsession with General Ai in terms of humans is astounding. An aircraft is not a bird yet we all know it can do spectacular things. No language translation system is at human level of performance but no human on earth can translate a thousand languages. What is going to happen is that all these independent systems are going to converge to create new tools that billions of people will be able to use.

  54. Most of the money the US raised in WW2 was through bonds and lending schemes.

  55.  @Spookyhoobster  The point is it will not appeal to the everyday user who wants simplistic ideas that really appeal to them. The reason Apple, Google, Facebook, Youtube and Amazon appeal to people is their simplistic nature and everyday value. If brave offered some unique features that people can use such as some sort of photo app it could really grow its user base very rapidly. Maybe something like uploading a jpeg that you can then alter in a simple studio tool to make people look older or younger. I know that sounds goofball but it can be the thing that really drives usage.

  56. That is the point of speculation it is hard to prove sometimes.

  57. UBI is nonsense. The moment UBI is introduced economic prices will adjust making such income useless.

  58.  @filipdaniel4378  We may in the future that capability but right now it does not exist.
    2
  59. He is presenting something technical to an MIT level engineer but in saying that Brave does not offer an obvious set of features that a 75 year old or 16 year old would enjoy or get easily. Now it may be possible that the IP offers something to businesses and it can grow from there.

  60. We need a universal language that everybody speaks. Anybody who objects to the universal language is to be dealt with by the collective. Love and peace is the way forward or else.

  61. Kyuzo Mifune may have popularised it but I doubt he invented it. Strangulations are as old as the hills. Pankration had probably has many versions of strangulation as there is today.

  63. CIA is a government body that has budgetary accountability as well has their actions be observed. That is not the same as individuals who are present with in the CIA being held publicly accountable because that would infringe upon individual rights.

  65. A powerful strong Grappler could still take multiple opponents and would also be able to break the grips of somebody try to hold. Striking can allow people to take multiple opponents but a lot depends on natural ability. The right striker or grappler could take multiple people.

  66. Operating a car is the same world wide in that you have gears, breaks, wheel, roads, other traffic and so on. As a western driver I would be useless in driving in a place like india and would probably take decades to learn how to drive to their standards. SO the idea that you can just do a system that can easily learning different environments has limitations as well.
    2
  67. Insurance is meant to be for accidents and that does not mean a human has to be involved. A person who trips does not necessarily do so at their own fault. If such a driving system was to be in place you could imagine the insurance companies making a lot more money as cost will be lower.

  68.  @cokechang  Let us put things into perspective since you brought it up. Toyota is a 100 year old company that has been building cars for about 85 years. Toyota has about $70 billion cash on hand and Tesla has about $20 billion cash on hand. Toyota has about $120 billion of debt and Tesla has about $6 billion of debt. Market cap has nothing to do with what you think it has. It is the price people are willing to pay for for a bit of the action that counts.

  70. Not convinced that all scientific articles should be free. Who gets to decide and how would you implement such a strategy. It is like saying all music should be free since it is in digital form.

  71. It is nonsense at best. The hierarchical thinking required for chess simply cannot be directed by a simple game direction. Either the game is being directly controlled by the ai through the player or the player is actually involved completely.
    2
  72. Hunter gathers also grazed with their food in summer when they would have had berries and fruits. Ketosis is suppose to allow humans to break down their fats in winter for energy. Doing it all year round is not what the body was designed for but then again eating carbohydrates in large volumes all year round is not what the body was designed for either.

  73. Conservatism is not about economics it is the fact that economics is based on the philosophies that are part of conservatism.

  74. Noam Chomsky is a fool at best.

  75. Humans have always eaten vegetables. Even various Eskimo tribes that eat a lot of fish, whale and seal will still eat vegetables and berries in the summer, spring and autumn months. They would also eat seaweed.

  79.  @bonchbonch  Actually that is nonsense. Market economies are the reason feudalism ended.
    2
  80.  @bonchbonch  The onus is not on me to prove anything. You made the claim about capitalism and tried to smear it by using a trendy term Neo-feudalism which is an empty pile of nonsense. You describe it as "unequal caste system" what does that even mean?

  81. Maybe it is not bugs at all and still part of the structure.

  82. One thing we were taught in hand to hand in military training is if the opponent has a knife and you have no weapon there is a high probability you will get stabbed. What we were taught to do was keep your opponent away from you such as using kicks or trying to find something in your environment to separate you such as a chair or table. And your first option every time is to run.

  85.  @nohome12  His disagreement makes no sense at all. Any system that evolves can look and behave completely different from its starting point. Primates 2 million years ago would be nothing like primates today.

  86. Arrival is good but not a patch on Blade Runner and really should be compared.

  87. The reason why most academics do not believe in evil is due to the fact that many of them have never actually met an evil person. Many lived a sheltered life have not been out in the world. Rand scene the work of evil in her homeland of Russia.

  92. There just needs to be viable marketplace alternatives to chrome and google search. They do not have to be perfect or pure just viable. The real challenge is getting people away from Google search so that they are not dependent upon it so that they can be more open minded on search. The same needs to also happen with social media so that Facebook, Youtube and so on do not hold the whole market place.

  96. What about those leading perfectly healthy diets of meat and vegetables. Are they to be left out of veg vs meat?

  97. UBI is nonsense. Productivity will drop over night and there would be no incentives to build and create new things. People at the bottom would truly become trapped by the payment and it would absolutely destroy motivation. I have seen this happen with welfare. Only wealthy middle class people propose UBI especially those that think they can change the world with their dumb ideas.

  100. You would have got the same response if you ate green vegetables, nuts, avocado, fish, meat and small amounts of fruit. One of the keys to the meat only diet is that you will eat less calories and feel full and the same can be achieved with green veg that has very low calories. Japan eats large amounts of fish, green veg and moderate to medium amounts of rice and they have a very healthy profile. Iceland that eats lots of Fish, mutton, pork and Potatoes and greens (imports and home grown) has a similar health outlook. It is the high carbohydrate diet that causes many people to become insulin resistant and it causes so many diseases. Try green shakes with avocado that is rich in fat and low in carbohydrates. Lemons as in the juice is amazing at keeping away gout and kidney stones. Check out the youtube channel by Dr Berg.

  110. I would propose having the system like the US has but then as an application have direct democracy attached to the system. An example of it working could be the public voting on forwarding a bill to the senate or the house presenting a bill to the people. Such a vote could be used to acts such as war that may have a three phase vote to it where the senate presents the idea to the people who then vote on it going forward with the senate then making the decision.

  123. Humans naturally ate meat but they also ate lots of veg and fruits when they could but during winter months meat was the primary food source. People that eat pure carnivore diets have a tendency to over focus on meat.

  124.  @howiseetheworld3581  Fruits for the vast majority of humans were not all year round. A lot of humans did not have access to fruit as you are claiming. Even Australia has a winter and a summer.

  125.  @howiseetheworld3581  You live in Australia in the modern world were foods can be cultivated using technology but that is not the same for hunter gatherers who would eat a variety of foods with many not be available in the winter months. During the winter months there was more meat and fish consumed with small amounts of winter vegetation. Northern Australia is a tropic region but that is not the case for the south of Australia which does have a more significantly colder winter period.

  126.  @howiseetheworld3581  Ok just to see if your logic holds up with your humans in the modern world. Are you saying because humans are modern with their own world that things like heroine or tobacco are harmless. Considering we are not hunter gathers' and all that.

  129. Direct democracy just means people vote on issues. It does not mean a whole country has to be run in that fashion. Switzerland still has a parliament and a president. You could have a system like the US but still have certain issues voted on by the people such as going to war or prohibition.

  137. That is nonsense. Eating meat does not increase the LDL. Those that eat only meat especially once a day will have lower levels of calories, less glucose and insulin response. Most people that done this diet coming from an unhealthy diet will see their cholesterol decrease overall and in ratios. But that does not mean it is a good approach. People that are diabetic for example will have a near miraculous response on such a diet and only in extreme genetic profiles will there be no response. People that eat fish diets gets similar responses. A better way of doing this is lots of vegetables of the green variety and small amounts of meat and fish, small amounts of fish and nuts.

  145. There is a garbage system in in the US it is called the congress and supreme court. Even garbage removal is not perfect. The US system uses seperation of power where each branch of government has to work together and that no one branch as too much power. Right now the democrats control the House, Senate and presidency and they still struggle to get too much craziness through and the same applied when Republicans were in control. The fact the US system does this nearly 240 years after its foundation is amazing. The system does get tested every now and then.

  146.  @timfrost08  Some feel that the vaccine programs that the Gates foundation is working on is dangerous. I do not agree with this but that is the feeling that people have. People also feel that the global development division of Gates foundation is also trying to build political Infrastructure in parts of the world and that the advocacy division is trying to push certain types of political ideology into education systems around the world especially in developing countries.

  152. The US already has garbage collection called the legislative and judiciary. The purpose of keeping old laws is to show what used to work, has stopped working and is no longer a standard to be tried in a court. The US system already has such a means of garbage collection. The US is the second oldest current government system in the world.

  154. @jerry pollack The fault is really the education system and the various colleges. I went to college and the books cost me several thousand dollars because the school had very strict book requirements. Even though there was a liberal full of books and many great well priced options out there we still had to buy the specified books. I remember there was girl who could not actually afford to buy the books and it was super stressful for her. I do not feel there are any simple solutions and until culture changes and actually challenges the education system and media nothing will change.

  157. The US already has a system that does garbage collection on laws. It keeps the laws on the books so that it can been seen if they can be applied or not. It also means that a new law cannot just be introduced doing the same thing as an old law. The existing system already creates a buffer and cleans up old laws. The US took common law and added extra features to it that work.

  161. The US system already has an application that cleans up law and also looks at its viability. That system is the legislative branch and the Judiciary. That system allows new laws to be introduced, old laws to be repealed and for the courts to apply law if it is viable. The reason to keep 200 year old laws even when they are not applied is for the system to be able to run test cases and to understand what does not work. Some laws are obvious such as pigs trespassing others much more complicated. The US system is far more advanced than many people realize. It is a form of government that is thousands of years ahead of anywhere else. By the way the pig trespassing laws may get applied to drones.

  167.  @withnail-and-i  The themes in 2001 are not anymore deeper than in the Godfather or Vertigo. What puts those other films above 2001 is they are as well crafted and they also have entertainment. I am not suggesting that entertainment alone means they are better but when layered with production,acting and so on it becomes an extra factor. Rear Window is pure entertainment, suspense, craft and creativity which 2001 could never match. I love the likes of 2001 and Blade Runner but they will never match those other films. Unforgiven is a great film but is it better than 2001?

  168. It ends once people have a different mentality. Diversity is good for customers as it can get businesses competing. Right now as things stand there is too few options and too many people are dependent on what is available. People by and large are not adventurous and they like a certain level of routine so for their to be market alternatives they need to be really simple but offer something that people really need. Now the question is how is that going to be done. Will it be some complex feature set or will it come down to old fashioned human interface.

  169. There is a high likelihood that any civilization that is capable of travelling interstellar space would not be interested in interacting with biological life forms. There is nothing we can teach them that they cannot know from modelling us via their vast exotic computational systems. They probably can turn matter into energy and back again with what we would perceive as 100% efficiency. There ability to build planets and stars and the very atoms of the universe would make humans appear as basic as molecule to them.

  185. No it was not. The pyramid that is presented is a government, health industry and food industry standard that would help the vast majority of the population if they were on it due to the very bad diets of the whole population. For an individual it is not guaranteed to work but for the population it can reduce death and health problems. If the whole population was to do 1 minute of intense exercise every day it would help as well but is not guaranteed to help an individual only at a population statistical level.

  186. @Gabriel Blas If you want improve your health then do some research on diet. I would suggest adding in frozen veg they are a lot cheaper because they last a lot longer but still retain high amounts of nutrients. You can actually add frozen veg to smoothies that contain nut butter or a small handful of fruit. Tinned fish such as mackerel or sardines are processed and cheap but they are still very healthy to eat. Both Bacon and sausages are cheap processed meats but are still healthy. Drink green tea instead of coffee and it is cheap as well. There are lots of things you can do that are cheap. A small amount of rice every now and then will not do you have harm either. So let me summarize tinned fish, frozen veg, plain peanut butter, small amounts of fruit including raspberries, small amounts of rice. Buy what you can afford and do research into high carb foods and low carb foods.

  199. Such a system could have an application in society such as voting to go to war or voting on changing the structure of society. It does not need to be things that are rash and fashionable and could play out over the long term.

Maybe the senate has to present the vote to the people and the people then back to the senate over a 5 year period.

  210. It is good to have those laws on the books so that you can see they will not work. Imagine nobody could bring them up or show that they were tested. You would end up with crazy people trying to convince everybody that it was never tried before because they would just call it something else. Jeremy Corbyn in the UK said he wanted to introduce new laws so as to segregate carriages on trains for different ethnic groups. Well there are laws on the books that are in place already and they cannot be applied or new laws cannot be introduced to do the same thing.

Toryism believes in God, Queen, and Country. Conservatism believes in Crown, Lords, and Commons.

All the players I have listed above have shined at a world cup final. Messi has played at 4 world cups and was bang average at all of them.

Kurzweil makes the singularity simple for people to grasp as an idea but even he has to be aware the moment turing is reached humans will have systems that will massively expand human intelligence. Imagine if every human on earth had an einstein level of intelligence what that civilization would look like. Could we even understand it.

  241. It really depends on how aggressive the individual animal is. You could have a bear with moderate levels of aggression go up against a small house cat that is ultra aggressive and the bear will just run away.

They use a very narrow scope of programming and in many cases use prepared patterns that are already made and do not write programs. Being a software engineer, network engineering or operations development roles does not make a person an actual programmer. Somebody that uses PLC to manage an air-conditioning system does not make them a programmer.
