I don't understand what work you think proposing an implausible counterfactual is doing here. Presumably if we lived in a world where Trump could raise the dead, that wouldn't be the only thing that's different.
"Are there really that many people with enough money to justify a substantial investment in tourism?"
Don't worry, it can only host up to 10 people at a time! Surely there's ten people that can be served by this substantial investment!
Billionaires use debt the way ordinary people use cash and, um, credit cards.
A lesson as to why we should stop giving automatically celebrities a platform whence to share their "wisdom": He wanted to know what to do to save the world. He believed he could learn that by seeing the earth from a physically different location. His takeaway was "Everybody in the world needs to do this." Amazing.
Windows users are probably better at organizing files because they still have to use file hierarchies because the search function is getting worse with every release.
The internet was a, uh, different place 20 years ago. You should have seen some of my email addresses. It was the wild west of nicknames.
To elaborate a little on "the risk of mistiming sells and purchases is just too high", what I mean is that the stock market always goes back up because of the way the economy is designed and most people would very likely end up selling after the drop (often a sudden drop) has begun and then shame-facedly buying back in only after the recovery either begins or is over, meaning they will experience the loss and miss the recovery.
If the stock market ever doesn't go back up again, your cash is probably also no good here anymore. Hopefully that's because we're transitioning to a sane and rational economy.
That's good for you and I'm happy for you, but not everyone can do this. Meaning, for you to sell, someone has to be buying. If everyone is trying to sell, and no one is buying, it's going to be a lot worse.
That's the problem with our economy and the way we do retirement planning. But given that we accept this model, most people really are better just putting it in an IRA and forgetting about it except at key milestones where they reset their risk percentage because the risk of mistiming sells and purchases is just too high.
Seems like you're really overreacting to someone mentioning a possible issue.
Well, they don't even have to do step 1; they can also bias the "display" algorithm (unless they're only presenting choices alphabetically or some other ordering that exists outside of their choices).
This was the first thing I thought of when I read this. Had I mod points I would have modded this up. And I reported the post with the completely off-topic, irrelevant, dumb mention of "autistic tendencies," FWIW.
Also, isn't this headline basically just saying, "DARPA wants to do The Thing All Laypeople Think AI Is For"? (See also, every movie about AI every made.)
