Forget a horse, the same argument can be made on a person's own self. Our conscious mental efforts cannot even "total takeover" our own bodies.

More generally speaking, when you optimize on a particular set of metrics to the extreme (when it comes to social issues this is what utopias try to do), you will inevitably cause another set of metrics to be correspondingly de-optimized to

Last I heard, the original Big K, along with (some of) the secondary copies, will not be sold. Instead, they will be observed/studied in an on-going basis, in order to better understand why their masses appear to have drifted apart ove

I'm not sure that I understand what you are asking, since "prove that they have the insurance" seems to me to be equivalent to "telling the prospective employee". Conceptually, I feel like there might be a connectio

Hi Scott, This may be an ill-formed question, but it's something I've been thinking about for a long time: Do you think the human mind is equivalent to Turing machines, or somehow above it? Assuming we have an infinite tape/m

The San Bernardino case involved an older device though, the 5C (which came out in 2013), which did not have the dedicated security module (Secure Enclave) at all. As far as I know, there is no confirmation on whether Apple (or anyone) coul

Isn't this just that colleges are paying the market rate for good executives because they want to get talented and experienced people to run them well? Colleges are very complex and are definitely no easier to run than similarly sized

This post comes at an interesting timing for us. Our product has a real time chat component, and currently is done over XMPP. We implemented using custom components on top of Tigase, a Java based XMPP server. Due to a variety of reasons our

I tend to think of "generalization", in the general sense (pun not intended), to be information compression. We are simply trying to answer the question: what is the shortest description (i.e. most informationally compressed/
