> However I have tried to point out that the evidence doesn't lead you to this conclusion since other variables may correlate (...)

They may correlate, but genetic is by far the biggest driver. Identical twins (same DNA) have between 0.76-0.86 correlation between their IQs. The 0.76 is raised separately; a completely different environment and they are still almost identically smart!

The other numbers you've written are the effect of moving away from perfectly identical DNA.
(You could argue that part of the difference is cultural, but that doesn't change anything if we don't know which part of the culture is negatively impacting the child.)

>because assuming regression to the mean, if I pick a 160IQ black woman and a 150IQ white man, we'd expect their kid to be centered around 155, regardless of race.

No, see my Japaneses example. Two geniuses of 160IQ will most probably have children returning closer to the mean (tho probably a little higher). In this case, the mean is different for every race.

If I'm a white with a IQ of 100 and I have a child with a black with a IQ of 100, the expected result is not 100, because the black is an outlier at this IQ.

> Nonetheless you have repeatedly brought it back to race, which means that this is tremendously important to you. On that topic I'm curious why. You're probably pretty intelligent (though introspection is a skill separate from observing the outside world), so I have high hopes for a good analysis ;)

I do too. :-)

I brought race because that was the topic at hand and because we are talking biology here (reproduction).
Obviously "white" isn't my only criteria. I could speak at length how I like girls with a fighting spiring, but that'd be a little out of context.

Like I said in a parent post, my previous position was pretty much "all races are the same". It took -months- before I really changed that. What really prevented me from accepting the various studies was the survivor bias: All the individuals from the other races I ever saw was on TV. Actors, political commentators and such. If they got their job, it's because they were good. I wasn't looking at the average here.

The same apply for people of the same race by the way. Many people of IQ 120+ went to university and their entire social group is composed of smart people. They don't realize (and can't conceive) that a huge part of the population is less intelligent.

I have no clue why that is, but I'd very much like to know.

> No, that's a really bad analysis of margins on cars.

I'm not seeing how. You post is talking about market size. The parent I replied to was only talking about margin. Two very different things which, as you were pointing out, will have two very different outcomes as far as profitability due to market size but that was never something brought up in the context of the original conversation.

> So if Apple does try to attain iPhone-like margins in the car market, they will necessarily address a tiny market. If they don't, they'll still address a much smaller market than the smartphone market, and with smaller margins to boot.

Smartphones are one of the biggest markets in the world so of course they will be addressing something smaller. Though car market is still pretty huge especially in the corporate selling of vehicles. What if Apple sold fleets to taxi / uber / lyft type companies? Maybe they create their own rival to uber / lyft and you can get picked up in an Apple car.

Seems there is so much speculation here that no one is going to be able to paint an accurate picture of what Apple's entrance into the car market would look like let alone figure out what the margins and revenue would be.

>Their influences are not difficult to spot. Their startup economy’s success stories are of entrepreneurs who spent VC money to create their own wealth, who spent every paisa immediately to multiply each into a rupee. The stories they hear are of Mukesh Ambani, who inherited an empire and built a very expensive home, instead of Dhirubhai, who lived in a very small home and built a very big empire. They read about Katrina Kaif’s hair costing ₹50 lakh to dye correctly. They internalise the lesson that to earn any money, you’ve got to spend a lot of it.

>You completely misunderstood the point. You need that burger to socialise, FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR JOB. Your job as an actor would require you to dress well, your job as a journalist will require you to go to places for interviews that you probably cannot afford yourself, and neither will your company pay for it. It isn't that simple, choosing roti over burger.

So apparently, your example, job for job, starves in india, but may hopefully be caught by the safety net in the US and may luckily escape out as they get older.

So based on this, I assume that all access to your calendar server (iCloud, Exchange, Google Apps, etc) was managed through a centralised server(s) that Sunrise used... for something.

Maybe the next time someone claims to be a funky new take on <boring office task> just do a little checking. We've had desktop and mobile device clients for mail, calendaring, contacts etc for literally decades. Why now, when we have more computing power available to us than ever before, do we need another server (operated by a company that's more likely to disappear than not) between us and our mail/calendar/contacts?

Sadly, the assumption is false.

The EME standard is a standard for a way for scripts on a page to ask the browser to talk to the CDM. The actual interaction between the browser and the CDM is completely unspecified; it just needs to enable the browser to implement the EME APIs.

I think a more apt comparison is that EME is to CDMs more like the 2D canvas API is to graphics libraries. At least in a world in which graphics libraries had very restrictive licenses and you could require, via the canvas API, a particular graphics library to be used for rendering your canvas.
I am just going to be pretty blunt.

- For those who say that good founders should spend their time working on their startup and nothing gimmicky like this; If you get to appear on this snapchat and it takes your 6 hours to prepare for it (way too long in my opinion). Justin has over 7500 views per snap, that's 7500 people that learn about your startup and a couple thousand that may be directed to you website, it's them up to the credibility of your website/app to convert them to signups. What else would you do to gain an audience of 7500 ardent tech fans in those 6hrs? My project was once featured on his channels months ago and we got hundreds of new users because of that.

- someone mentioned shitty ideas getting attention because of likable founders and good ideas not getting attention because of unlikebale founders. I'd say it's in the best interest to have a good idea and be likable, startups are a very competitive market, you should look for every edge you can have over the next guy. Not fair buts that's the way it is.

- YCF provides lots of value for very early startups, it's only fair that they get some value back immediately considering it's a risky bet and their stake only converts at a $100 million event. If the value is entertainment that gets them more exposure (good for sourcing deals), I'd say it's a fair trade off.

- For those who say it's a waste of time, I think that's pretty pessimistic. Any oppurtunity to get funded by a reputable entity is never a waste of time. You are a startup, you are unconventional. The odds are not in your favor, if you have to shine shoes to get the attention of what/who you want, I say do it. Lots of successful people have done so. It's the type of "I am too good to do this" hubris that makes some people frown on SV culture being cultivated in some founders

I can go on, but I'd rather work on my startup or get some rest, that way I can free up time to apply. Good luck!

> I don't think using the phone app is particularly impractical.

In Australia, we don't have the option of disabling the dead man's switch, so we're forced to use the phone app to control Summon.

There are no words in the English language that can begin to describe how frustratingly unreliable it is. Most of the time it simply doesn't work (will say something like "failed to communicate with car"), and even when it does work it tends to lose connection half way and abort. I don't think I've ever managed to complete a Summon without it aborting. This is exacerbated by the fact that the places where I actually need to use Summon tend to be places with poor cell phone reception, e.g. underground car parks.

I can't wait for the key fob-controlled Summon to be enabled in Australia. Summon in its current state is basically useless.
A side note, but couldn't help notice ".world". Wonder why they didn't buy akasha.space which is more suitable because akasha means "space" or "sky" in Indian languages. (500 USD to buy the domain name though. May be affordable?)
I have been unable to track down the paper, but a recent study demonstrated that listener comprehension was higher when filler words were used during speech.

It creates constitutional issues that end up raising costs. Essentially, a school that is parochial, in order to take the vouchers, have to do crazy things like run as 2 separate corporations under the same roof, with all the headache that involves

What essentially ends up happening is long term refusal of the vouchers, private school prices go up, or you see alternatives that are even less constitutional (I'm looking at you Kirat Yoel) in order to replicate the same extra funds without the voucher headache on the private school school side.

Interestingly, in order for them to actually compete, you actually have to massively fund the school district as a public school, a la Great Neck North/South, or some of the suburbs of San Francisco, where you regularly hear about crazy good private and public schools with about equally good outcomes for their students

> This should be a critical part of the standard

The standard is not at all concerned with the browser-CDM interaction, sadly. And yes, that's a major issue with the standard. We (Mozilla) brought it up repeatedly when the standard was being developed, because it causes precisely the issues you describe, and basically got ignored. Microsoft, Google, and Netflix (the editors for the standard) simply didn't see this as a problem.

Now in practice, Mozilla aims to give the CDM as little information as possible, because we think it's the right thing to do. But nothing in the EME standard requires us to do that, and I can't tell you what other browsers do with their CDMs.

> It means that users are no longer free from browser-discrimination

That's correct. You never _really_ were, by the way: sites can and do use Modernizr-like testing instead of UA string sniffing to detect what browser you're running, so the only way to avoid being discriminated against by a site that really wants to discriminate is to have a browser which responds the same way an "approved" browser does to all API calls... Doable, but in practice requires using an "approved" browser with some tweaks that are invisible to the site.
This is a great point. Imagine if you're driving manually going 20 on slippery ice, and a child slips and falls off the pavement into the road in front of you. The car, for whatever reason, does not "see" the child. You decide you don't have enough stopping distance, so your response is to steer the car off the road or into another car. But then some "safety feature" decides to stop you from doing that, and hits the child instead.

The fallout would probably result in a multi-decade setback for (semi-)autonomous cars.

"EME" is the API CDMs expose to scripts, with browser mediation. It's not the API CDMs expose to the browser, which is not standardized at all, sadly.

> The issue with browser-specific CDMs at this time seems to be only because of varying completeness of EME implementations.

No, it's basically baked into the standard, because the editors were fine with having CDMs be browser-specific.

I'm going to go with the 'Rehabilitation' angle here.

What if, when presented with video evidence of the crime, there was already a 'plea deal' that was always on the table. Lets say that for 10X the minimum wage cost of the affected items, you could provide community service doing some type of work the community needs and would have otherwise contracted out.

In that case, the offender would literally work off the (retail) 'cost' of the drink (maybe also a fixed 'fine' in money or community service time) to the community, also providing some rehabilitation, while the company in question would be pressed in to only writing off whatever loss isn't covered by insurance as at cost shrinkage on their taxes.

Note that in this case instead of all of that money spent on corrections and the /peace/ officer is not wasted making a mountain out of a pimple.
This is a basic UX failure. If you press the "Park" button one twice instead of once, the Autopark dialog appears asking to select forward or backward parking. But it's not clearly communicated is that if you don't select either option, forward is automatically selected and Autopark turned on. This is in contrast with all previous autopark features which required manual confirmation on the touch screen.

It's too easy for a driver to be momentarily distracted. Tesla should require the driver to opt in to self parking on the touch screen, rather than the current behavior which requires them to opt out. This seems only prudent for a feature that makes the vehicle suddenly move on its own.

If what you are saying is true, that is shocking about Finland vs Sweden. Both are fairly ethnically homogenous and share similar Nordic sensibilities from what I understand, and tend to be co-compared for where they are different.

Maybe. Syntax imposes structural rules on your code. If your domain doesn't fit the syntax, then you'll end up with far _less_ readable code. The draw towards "syntaxless" lisp-y languages is that you can build the syntax to fit your domain, rather than vice versa. The result is a DSL that naturally models the domain, rather than an unintuitive mess of data transformations to force your domain model to fit the structure imposed by the syntax and type constraints.
To be fair, there were specific people at Google who _did_ fight the EME spec, including in the W3C discussion; the spec was written by the "youtube" part of Google, and the people who were more in the "open web" part of Google didn't necessarily agree with it. But yes, Google as a whole sure didn't object and didn't exactly delay implementing in Chrome...

If it's programmed defensively, it could be reasonably safe. For example, I would want the car to be performing an ongoing, end-to-end verification of the finger's continued presence on the phone.

This could mean, for example, the app could heartbeat the finger's presence multiple times per second. The car would be continuously checking, such that if 500 or 1000 msec had passed since the last end-to-end verification, the car stops.

You could even reduce the risk of API/digitizer errors and require the user to continuously tap/stroke/rub/swirl the deadman switch button, or perform some device movement captured by the accelerometer.
Thanks for suggestion! I will try this later.
