You are not considering the value that very old individuals might contribute (and in fact do so) in many sophisticated societies with language: teaching of younger individuals and also acquiring deep complex knowledge about life, which can be simply impossible to do if they had short lives (they would just not have time to learn any of it). In many times of our history the resources weren't that scarce to begin with. Primitive tribes don't need to dig for rare metals to make their Teslas, they could survive and thrive on very abundant resources.

You had an error there about Bitcoin Core (github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin). It supports SegWit: https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/bitcoin-core-0141-segwi...

This guy is truly a legend. A force of nature. "Windows 2000 Demo It is done in an unusual way: the browser runs a Javascript VM, which runs x86emu, which runs Linux, which runs QEMU, which runs Windows. "

If you knew the technical details of blockchains, you would not think that. And yes, the process IS much more than wasing massive amounts of energy.

> 1) Surely we can come up with a less wasteful solution to this

You are welcome to try. If you do come up with a less waisful solution you will be able to create your own altcoin and will make billions worth of dollars on it. Some very smart people have tried in the past and are still trying.

While it is of course going to be slower, "it's not even close" is a judgement claim. The tests you have link talk about 1.6-2-3 times the difference. In a lot of applications the performance hit is going to be worth gaining access to the whole Java ecosystem of libraries. Also the performance is very likely to increase with newer versions.

This is very cool. You can basically even call all Java classes (and the other way around) from that JavaScript! (And reliably limit the classes that can be used if you want to execute JS in a safe environment.) Why isn't this used more often? (Or is it used more often?)

It's already possible with some unofficial libraries.

While there is sure some enforceability, like he says, it has to be much harder to do because there is no way these ICOs actually have as much legal text written out and agreed upon by all participants. This has to mean that it will be much easier for dishonest actors to get their wishes with ICOs, as opposed to with regular LTDs and such.

More interestingly, there seems to be no real answer for the question you have asked. What is the real value, if the courts and legalities are what people need in this situations, and those things are already in place? Sometimes it really seems like the enthusiasm of most honest people coming into ICOs is fueled by the fact that they don't understand this. They don't comprehend what stocks are really about: making sure that the state can aid in contract enforcing.

Think otherwise? Please prove me wrong. There just don't seem to be any real industrial value in ICOs, we already have stock technology.

If you can't learn how to use Swing, it means you are a bad programmer. It does not depend on your age. You might not be willing to learn, or have some other reasons, but claiming that Swing is somehow so old that young people are not able to learn it is just plain false and completely unsubstantiated.

I think your experience reflects that basic gist I've gotten from most professionals: ORMs are complicated and convoluted because they provide a solution for a very complicated problem. If you are somewhat new and don't understand things, it's easy for you to see the few problems introduced by ORMs and think that it means that the whole concept is just unnecessary bloat. With more experience and wisdom, you understand that the few quirks of ORMs are a necessary evil for having a software that solves such a complex and flexible task.

Where are you getting the information? There absolutely are other visas. The ESTA is just an easier way to do it, and as such, can sometimes be more limited. You can also get normal visa and get other vetting procedures and likely other outcomes.

He seems to have tried to enter USA using ESTA. ESTA is not a visa, it's a visa-waiver program. It's specifically created as an easier method of entering a country, but as a trade-off, it says in the terms that they can deny it for any reason with no questions. This does not mean that the person cannot enter the country per se, it just means they need to apply for a real visa.

"Mechanical Sympathy"/empathy is a very good expression, kudos!

It's pretty obvious that a self-driving camera-based software would take advantage of headlights on a car, just like a human does? So it never has to drive in full darkness.

While direct support from the creators of TF would be the beste thing, be sure to check out all the addon options, like https://github.com/hughperkins/tf-coriander

With all do respect for your personal health choices, that's not science nor "evidence". Just because some culture does something, doesn't mean it's the optimal way of things, especially nutrition. It's just something you have chosen to base your life on.

There are also tribes that actively drink alcohol or even consume natural opiates all the time. What's your point?

Can you link of that evidence? In form of scientific studies (quality ones)? This is not a general "you can't prove your point, you don't have science". I'm actually interested. I have been looking for hard science in this area and have seen none that would back up your claims.

Openface (probably state-of-the-art currently? If I haven't missed anything) uses a 128-dimensional unit hypersphere to represent a face identity. They have likely optimized this, so it's the dimensionality that works well in practice, not too large, not too small. It's perhaps a bit bigger than it has to be, but it cannot be too big either because that would very likely lead to overfitting. So that's 128*sizeof(float) = 512bytes = 4096 bits of information. Kinda like an RSA private key :).
