Heritability (i.e. narrow-sense heritability as typically used in most research articles) is not so clear-cut as to be split between nature and nurture. Even the GP is slightly incorrect when saying:

> ...as opposed to environmental factors

because for heritability, the distinction is between the variance explained by additive genetic effects versus the total variance of the trait of interest. There are other sources of phenotypic variance like epigenetics, non-additive genetic effects, or complex interactions that fall outside the scope of heritability.

Interesting thoughts, but not really awe-inspiring or life-changing. Maybe that is THE message.
Seems quite likely from this guy's analysis that it could be won on merits. By making the lawsuit, Apple is also making a statement that it believes the case has merit. And winning the case on the merits (or settling it because a victory for Apple would be likely) would profit Apple significantly.

On the other hand, there is no chance that Samsung will shut down its phone division, whether or not Apple wins the lawsuit.

So I cannot understand how you got the impression that Apple is making this lawsuit in order to annoy Samsung into not competing. That is a much less likely explanation for the suit.

Icons, logos and marketing stuff are all very different tasks. Many designers will specialise in just those particular disciplines. To take them all on and expect to execute them in a manner which is professional and not distracting, is a big ask.

There are plenty of on-line resources(1) to get started, but be aware that a lot of learning will be required. And that means a lot of failures. If you don't want your failures to be a part of your product/brand etc. then you should hire a professional(2).

A lot of people using package managers, though, might think that someone else has read the code that's about to be installed (so they don't have to read it before installing it). I've installed five or six things for development work using pip recently and I would have been shocked if they were malicious (or if I had to read thousands of lines of Python to make sure they weren't malicious).

A previous amusing note from Gruber[1] on his sponsorship system and a sales email from Taboola, purveyor of the obnoxious click-bait grids that you're starting to see all over:

> Speaking of revenue and pageviews, true story: I got an email yesterday from a sales rep at Taboola, pitching me on running their ads on DF. It included this line: “I see your site is not monetized at present, and I think there is room to do so in a non-intrusive manner that can still make you money.”

> I don’t know what I love most about that. I think it’s that from the eyes of someone who sees Taboola ads as “non-intrusive”, what I’m doing at Daring Fireball doesn’t look like “monetization” at all. Needless to say, I find Taboola ads to be highly intrusive. (You may not be familiar with the “Taboola” name, but you’ve seen their ads. They look like this[2].)

I really like what he does, and it makes the rest of the web remind me of the bloatware loaded Windows installs on every PC that isn't sold directly by MS. Short term money at the cost of a slower and more annoying experience that users hate in the long term.

I wish this article talked about some of the reasons you may not want to do this instead of just selling the strategy.

For example, this doesn't look appealing to me because it adds complexity and makes your codebase harder to work with.

It is a pity that V8 is so entangled with the language Javascript.

In my opinion, V8 would have been much more powerful if it was fully parameterizable in all the types that it supports, etc. In that case Python could simply be translated into V8 intermediate code (or javascript).

Realizing what you've done wrong and feeling the pain of figuring out how to amend it is the whole point of the exercise. Maybe the right way to amend it is to rewrite the whole thing, but that may or may not be the best choice, depending on what else you want to get done. Just like the real world!

the local wiki editor tool bar & text area I've always thought was done very well. It's kind of a stand out, yet hidden feature that not a lot of wikis do as well. Simple but still HTML driven. I'd like to use the back end and re-template it for a personal site, just because I'd like to tinker with it a little more. Somebody elses' idea about calculating that a wiki is stagnant and having some actions / recommendations, even some auto email to existing editors is a great idea to keep things fluid and current.
> What are some things that help you get in the zone when you're coding?

* Music - Typically something with a fast beat buy few/no words, although I sometimes do waiver and go with rock with lyrics or Jazz/Classical. I find Jazz and synthesized music are the best for me.

* A drink of some kind - If I'm at home, a good beer, however if I'm at the office then something with strong caffeine is preferred, ie. Rockstar or similar.

* Lots of gum - I've found chewing on stuff somehow focuses me a bit better. Typically some sugar-free gum is my go-to, ie. Tident or similar.

When I'm really focused, I either tend to sit up very straight and get close to the screen, or I sit back in my chair sagging a bit and shake my leg(s).

Alright, so then you'd be OK with some phone company, that has a monopoly on a certain geographic area or town, banning anyone who has made a public social media posts that is critical of the company?

https://twitter.com/ericgeller/status/1347226499930230785 is a good thread. Starts with:

"So far, hearing that cyber risks of the Capitol attack were low.

* Congress isn't one big network
* Vulnerable machines held unclassified files
* Hill leaks so much already that truly sensitive stuff is walled off
* Rioters weren't there long enough for thorough, careful access"
[...]
For those wondering about the SCIFs, used for classified files and conversations, their doors were built to withstand embassy sieges, and they’re swept for bugs before every use.

We haven’t seen any indication that they were even targeted, much less seriously attacked. Could one of the terrorists have seen a sensitive but unclassified email somewhere? Yes.

Could there have been Russian spies in the terrorist mob? Yes."

I am familiar, and I think that it is mostly good; the only thing missing is direct rendering (which would be optional). (And I did not mean entirely without extensions, just to remove most of the stuff.)

Indeed; I've used wmii for around 10 years now, and its developers have openly stated they will never support Wayland.
That's a bummer. ssh -X is a powerful utility.

Comparing rail lines to aircraft carriers is ridiculous and discredits your entire post.

If everyone inflates their price the one who inflates it the least wins. That's not how the industry actually works. its far more common to bid low and try to make up the profit in claims.

Battery storage is wholly inadequate for this current scenario. We need reliable baseload capacity for prolonged demand cycles like this. Texas being frozen over for days on end is not the same as dealing with the duck curve on an intraday basis in the summer.

Running your AC on batteries for a few hours in the afternoon is a completely different ballgame than trying to heat your home for 72 hours straight.
You are absolutely right, lockdowns are just a proxy, the real factor is behaviour. If everybody behaves lockdown-like, lockdown can be avoided.

You don't need lockdowns to stop the healthcare system from being overloaded, if everybody wears masks, socially distances, agrees to track, trace and isolate programmes, there is mass testing, no incentives for people to come to work sick, etc. One year on we have a pretty good estimate how each behaviour/measure influences the reproduction rate of Covid-19.

> Please stop pushing the unproven narrative that lockdowns stop the healthcare system being overloaded.

I don't understand what exactly is unproven. Lockdowns correlate with behaviour. The Chinese healthcare system was completely overwhelmed, even with CCP spin on things. In Bergamo, Italy, the dead were carried away in army trucks. Look at fatality rates for both countries at the time.
That's evading taxes, not avoiding taxes (legal distinction).

I'm a Simple customer and incredibly upset by this decision. For those not familiar with their value add, Simple is essentially "envelope budgeting" built into a banking application. Sure, it's a bank and does bank things. What sets Simple apart is that I can allocate $n/month for an expense and it takes it out of my paycheck and puts it into that expense "envelope". When a charge comes in for that expense, it pulls from the envelope. Other budgeting tools like mvelopes.com and YNAB are great for visibility/tracking, but they don't move your money around. The alternative I used prior to finding Simple was having about 10 different checking accounts and manually transferring money every few weeks. I really don't want to go back to that setup after tasting the good life.

My pitch to the Simple team, or anyone interested in taking this on, is to take the app and build it on top of Stripe Treasury (https://stripe.com/treasury).
yes of course, what I mean is why the space RTGs are so much more expensive than terrestrial RTGs, where weight is not a consideration. For space, it makes sense to use the exotic plutonium isotope if it saves on weight.

I didn't even know about this bank, but based on the comments, seems to have had a major impact on people's lives.

I essentially do what Simple provides on my own, but realize that takes radical discipline. Not everyone has that, but sounds like Simple "hacked" people's habits towards saving. I consider that a "super power" so I'm sad to hear they're closing.

I direct deposit to two HYSA accounts in the same bank. One is my "current expenses" account and represents my projected expenses/budget for the month. The second is my "long term" account that represents savings for long term goals. At the end of each month, if there's money left in the current account, I move it over to the long term. The long term is then invested in brokerage accounts (because I've saved up for an emergency fund and house down payment, which remain liquid).

Oh and 401K money is taken out before I ever see it.
> I once saw a citizen with a 6-shooter strapped to his hip at a Colorado county clerk's office peacefully fill out some paperwork for 5 minutes. What does this story tell us about what rioters did or didn't do while tearing up the capital building?

1 minute of Googling tells me that Colorado is an open-carry state, and there is no specific exclusion for county offices, so unless this was in Denver or another municipality that prohibits open carry I don't see the relevance of your story to what happened in the Capitol.
american cities are obviously built for cars and assume people commute to work. compare this with old cities e.g. in europe.

It seems there will be major shifts in the way people work , and thus live, and thus cities will probably change
If I were to pick one part of that course to share it would be the explanation of how long term memories are formed through practice (1-6 Introduction to Memory).

Knowing how something actually works, and knowing precisely how my actions achieve the desired result is important to me. I'm very skeptical of study techniques, and more interested in the underlying physiology that I am trying to manipulate.

Long-term potentiation (LTP) "is widely considered one of the major cellular mechanisms that underlies learning and memory."[1]

Spaced Repetition[2] and Spaced Learning[3] at techniques directly designed around LTP.

The course content is locked, but there is a fantastic paper that gives a thorough overview of what we know about the behavior of memory[4], as well as a video series by the principle author[5] linked below.

This is kind of my thing. Please let me know if you are interested in learning more, or if you know of additional sources you'd recommend I check out.

But why should you care about these fringe exchanges when (a) you know they are not trustworthy and (b) there are decentralized alternatives where you can trade pretty much any token you'd like to hold?

If the problem that these exchanges only offer $LOCAL_CURRENCY <-> USDT as on-ramp, what's stopping you to:

1. make the on-ramp via USDT
2. buy ETH
3. withdraw to your own wallet
4. Trade on Uniswap/Curve/1inch/Loopring/Stakenet to anything you want; (Wrapped) BTC, USDC, DAI, any ERC20...

It's not that complicated, it eliminates your risk of holding USDT, these shady exchanges can still operate (at their own risk, not the users), it makes it super easy to identify exchanges with liquidity problems (the ones that get any excuse to not let you withdraw or make the fee way to high will surely indicate an issue with their liquidity) and - most importantly - reduces the amount of USDT in circulation.
