I believe that is angle Graham was coming from. At a certain point you wouldn't be able to afford to control your own company. You would HAVE to sell your shares to cover the costs of the tax.
It is both an over and underhyped field depending on the area you are looking at.
HUGE difference between consumer self driving car [Everywhere, at all times] and the Machines as a Service [Geo, time, weather-fenced operations][1].
Waymo appears to be at the head of the pack; Sacha Arnoud, Director of Engineering for Waymo gave a talk a few weeks ago at MIT[2] and gives a good idea. We are about 5 years out until these start rolling out as MaaS (machines as a service). Probably 10+ years for level 4 highway operations for consumer models according to Frazzoli.
Well, it is supposed to unscaleable. This is how our house of representatives works! The idea is with-in each state there are districts. Representatives from a district are supposed to represent those people within the district. An exchange trader who lives in NYC probably have very different concerns than a farmer in an small district in Nebraska. It is actually a wonderful system when it works. We have grown as a nation so our number of people per representative has grown enormously since the start (we are locked by law at 435). One concern we all have in the states is, when does an individuals voice become too diluted!
The limit law is something congress enacted. The Constitution has a much higher limit based on population. Granted I don't think the house could function with over 10K members but then again it would make gerrymandering impossible.
It's not as though it functions well now. At least with that many members it would not-function in ways that more frequently benefited areas where people actually live.
With some technological assistance, it seems like a group of 10,000 representatives would actually be robust to many of the problems with the current smaller group.
This is my first html5 game with a java backend. If you eat other players, you will (usually) get candidate specific quotes.
I know of a few bugs such as the audio not playing on mobile devices. This is because of how android and apple have handled html5 audio and am working on a hack to get it going.
Hope you guys enjoy, dont forget to watch the debate and vote next month!
How do we search and see if the area where I currently do research in is something that YC Research would focus on in the near future? I am finishing up a MS in ChBE with a focus on designing materials using computational methods (eg. DFT) and would like to continue with similar projects.
