You don't have to go that far back. See the recent Surfside tragedy. Israel sent an elite rescue team and set up relief centers to assist displaced persons, regardless if they were Israeli or not.

>in silico discovery of drugs is still fairly unreliable

Can you elaborate on this? I'm not challenging you on it, just interested in learning more.

Do you propose IP be treated similarly to real property? Maybe require a permit from the government before one writes a book or song to ensure that work will be in the public interest?

The Wikimedia Foundation hosts collaborative projects which are not encyclopedias. WikiNews for instance cuts right into the heart of what EC is trying to stop. Really shows how much thought the EC put into their "arbitrary exceptions to appease powerful entities" strategy.

I think it is interesting to reflect on the idea that high technology builds on top of primitive technology. Just as he uses past tools to make more complex tools, every human era of technology builds upon the last. You could say primitive stone tools are in the recipe for developing an ICBM or a semiconductor if you go back far enough.

Not only can chaos be exhibited in fully deterministic systems, it can be exhibited in absurdly simple systems. The logistic map is an incredibly simple iterated function that exhibits highly chaotic behavior.

It remains one of most mysterious things in mathematics, as far as I can tell. Studying it has consumed a lot of very smart people's careers.

There are some corporate structures that seem better suited for owning real estate, like a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT). Maybe there is a proxy "Google REIT" that is 100% owned by Google. Or some other proxy entity accounting stuff going on, such that Google is not "technically" the owner of the building, but a subsidiary with a different tax structure. I think that's what the parent meant.

IPOs tend to be a lot more valuable. It’s more an implication of a successful exit. In either case, you have to pay off your debt and preferred stockholders before you see a dime from a liquidation event. A low value liquidation can leave zero on the table for common stock holders.

How do you suppose we fix this? I'm not being factious here.

It happens when practitioners generalize theorems to scenarios that look similar but don't apply. The common pattern is misapplying an infinite set theorem to finite set case. If you don't know about the theorem in question to begin with, there is no way for you to misrepresent it.

How about a compromise? Submit an outline resume that fits on a single page and provide a link to a huge CV with all the details?

Probably something to do with the rent seeking problem. It’s wealth tied mostly to possessing rights to exploit valuable land, not to the labor or ingenuity of people.

This isn't even theoretical! See the Sony rootkit DRM scandal. EME will almost certainly become an attack vector in the future.
