Hypersane sounds a little smug, but it feels close to something.
Like, there seems to be a difference between how smart a person is, and being [effective? rational? non-reactive? introspective?].
It feels like there's a spectrum of to which extent people are programmed by, and are reacting to, their environment. A spectrum that might be separate from how smart they are. Give them a text-book or an IQ-test and they'll do great, give them the news and they'll ineffectually berate and hate each-other, and so on.
So while a sane person might have a common social programming, an insane persons programming would be corrupted/deviant.
And a "hypersane" person would be someone who is more able to see their own (and others) programming, and to a greater extent be able to opt-out of some of it?
"Probably the best-known test to see if someone was a witch was the swimming test
Basically, if you found someone you suspected of being an old crone, you’d drag them to a pond and chuck them in. If they sank, they’re were innocent (and probably dead) but if they floated they were guilty…and quickly executed."
I think you will probably see lower rents, when they remove the housing benefits. At least if housing benefits are implemented the same way as in Sweden. When I was a student, the state payed for the part of the rent that was between €300-€450. So when I chose which apartment I wanted, I obviously chose the more expensive one, since I had no incentive to do otherwise. The people to owned the student apartments eventually caught on, and raised the price of all student apartments to around €440. (not the exact numbers, just to illustrate the point)
My math skills are not good enough solve this, I realized after trying for 30 min. I was happy I managed to solve it with good at least! Here is a JavaScript brute-force solution: http://jsfiddle.net/e88xy75f/15/
There are significantly bigger problems than those, but if you want to make money you have to solve problems that rich[0] people have, which mainly seems to be boredom.
The people with the biggest problems are the people with the least money. You can't save them with apps, but you could help them with money made by making apps. Not that most will though, if they ever make it big.
[0] Rich is a relative term. Got enough to eat and access to the internet? Compared to most humans, you're relatively rich.
Absolutely! The first thing I really missed when trying the Oculus Rift demos was my hands, you really want to reach out and grab/push things. Leap Motion seems useless for navigating Windows, perfect for VR.
Electric quadrocopters today have pretty limited range, with a flight time of about 30 minutes. You could do some pretty neat stuff if they lasted 5 hours.
Not to mention what it will mean to regular airplanes, cars and mobile technology. We'd might even start to see some futuristic weaponry, not that it would be particularly positive.
