Problem solved by Covid-19... at least the shortage part. The pay part, that's a localized problem. Time to take out the placards!

Still not far enough. Remember, some people are incapable of shame.

Imo, they should be removed from society, kept on a reservation where, in order to leave, you must complete the vaccine regimen.
Let them be as irresponsible with their own family as they please, just not the rest of us. Soon enough, the reservation will be hit with a plague and problem solved.
I can't fathom why they ever allowed non vaccinated kids in public school. I don't even think they allowed medical exemptions when I went, forget personal feelings.

"Your right to swing your first ends at my nose." Seems appropriate. They have no right to endanger the public.

All of them have been in Production. Everything from running teams across disciplines, planning, problem solving, organizing, to getting food for the team. I am not a project manager; I just don't have that kind of brain. The most appropriate title I have had is Technical Producer, since I am usually working mostly with programmers to solve problems.

I think this is a perfect example of why the LEGO System is such a well thought out product. Every piece offers multiple possibilities for problem solving through unique and versatile connection points. It's enough to make me cry... Or it would if I wasn't such a tough guy who thinks emotions are for wimps.

Funding his wall won't stop those issues that are mostly port of entry crimes, not border jumping. The ten terrorists caught number he keeps talking about were all caught at ports of entry, not coming from Mexico over a fence.

Obama followed international law and released Iran's assets we (many say illegally) seized and held only after using them as a bargaining chip to successfully halt Iran's nuclear program. He didn't give them a cent of taxpayer money in that release of funds.

Dems gave Trump what?....$1.5 billion for border defense and he's spent <10% of it last year but wants 4 times as much this year or he'll shut down the government and just waste billions and directly impact all US citizens over a tantrum because he can't have his way. Also....what happened to Mexico paying for it? He's a great deal maker, make the deal and get the money from them.....problem solved, we should hear no more nonsense about funding his wall....that's not our bill.
Why isn't he building two walls? He knows we have two borders, doesn't he? Do you believe drugs, human trafficking, and terrorists can't come from Canada? (Edit :didn't you see the Jackal) guess he'll get Canada to pay for that one.

There is a generally held belief that consciousness is a mystery of science or a miracle of faith; that consciousness was attained instantly (or granted by god), and that one has either attained self awareness or has not.

I don't believe any of that. I believe like all things in biology, consciousness evolved to maximise a benefit, and occurred gradually, without any magic or mystery. The closest exurb1a gets to that is when he says at 6:28:

"Maybe evolution accidentally made some higher mammals on Earth self-aware because it's better for problem solving or something"

We need to know what other people are thinking and this is the problem that consciousness solves. If a neighbouring tribe enters your territory then predicting whether they come to trade, mate, steal or attack is beneficial to survival.

Initially this may be done through simulation - imagining the future based on past experience. A flood approaching your cave is bad news. Being surrounded by lions is not good. Surrounding a lone bison is dinner. Being charged by a screaming tribe is an upcoming fight.

We could only simulate another person's actions, but we had no experience that allows us to simulate another person's thoughts. You may predict that giving your hungry neighbour a meal may suppress their urge to raid your supplies but you still can't simply open their head and see what they are thinking.

Then for the benefit of cooperation and coordination, we started to talk, and everything changed.

Communication not only allows us to speak our mind, but allows us to model the minds of others. We can gain an understanding of another person's motivations long before they act upon them. The need to simulate another person's thoughts becomes more nuanced and complex. Do they want to trade, or do they want to cheat?

Yet still we cannot look into the minds of others and verify our models of them. If we had access to an actual working brain we could gradually strengthen that model with reference to how an actual brain works, and we happen to have access to such a brain, our own!

If we monitored ourselves then we could validate a general model of thought against real urges, real experiences, real problem solving and real motivations. Once we apply our own selves to a model of thought we become much better at modelling the thoughts of others.

And what better way to render that model than with speech itself? To use all of our existing cognitive skills and simply simulate others sharing their thoughts with us.

At 3:15 exurb1a referenced a famous experiment that showed that we make decisions before we become aware of them. This lends evidence to suppose that our consciousness is not the driver of our thoughts, but a monitor - an interpretation of our subconscious that feeds our model of how people think.

Not everybody is the same. We all have different temperaments. Some of us are less predictable than others, and we tend to avoid such people. Some are more amenable to co-operation, others are stubborn. To understand the temperament of one we must compare them to another. If we are to compare the model of another's mind to our own, and we simulate their mind as speech, then we must also simulate our own mind as speech. Then not only are we conscious, we are self-aware.

Add in a feedback loop of social norms, etiquette, acceptable behaviour, expected behaviour, cooperation and co-dependence, game theory and sustainable societies and this conscious model eventually becomes a lot more nuanced than it first started - allowing for abstract concepts such as empathy, shame, guilt, remorse, resentment, contempt, kinship, friendship, nurture, pride, and love.

Consciousness is magical, but not magic.

There are quite a few different languages which can all be compiled down to something that can be run on a system like this. On the whole though the system isn't writing code itself.

Imagine you have a magical problem solving machine with a fixed input, all sorts of switches and levers, and an output. You chose the shape and the size of the machine but you don't chose where to set the levers or which switches to set.

The machine learning process works by having lots and lots of examples of good inputs and matching correct outputs known as a training set. It starts with all the levers and switches set randomly. Each time it makes a guess it looks how far it was from the right answer given from the training set and sees how it could change its settings to get a little closer to the right answer next time.

Given enough time and computing power it can fine tune the settings to get to the point where it's very accurate for a wide variety of complex problems.

Charlie needs to change his tactics, instead of trying to kick the ball he should just kick Lucy instead. Problem solved.

this debate has been had. Dag and Lucky need to stop making children with Rottenseed and Gingikilpatrick. problem solved for the kids drama

Wallets, and cell phones, hair brushes, glasses cases, envelopes, small boxes, sticks, juice boxes, seat belts, toy trucks, cigarettes, cigars .....pretty much anything you can hold in your hand.
A better idea is just ban hands. No hands, you know there's no gun in their hands, problem solved. Then you don't even have to touch the second amendment to end gun violence, guns are pretty safe without fingers.
Glad that issue is resolved.

Let's just ban murder. Problem solved. Right? Sorry, but it is just ridiculous to blame the tool. It's such a simplistic and naive viewpoint. The only way gun regulations are going to have any effect on mass murders - by guns - would be a complete ban of all guns. Something most people, including myself, would never support.

The DNC felt that a Trump victory was a lesser threat to their owners than a Sanders victory would have been. Problem solved.

it's about strength, balance, and flexibility (and in the case of bouldering - problem solving)
