It seems you are interpreting what is said in black and white terms. He (she?) said that personality is _neither_ completely _fixed_ _nor_ completely _mutable_. Things are not either/XOR.

The same goes with IQ. I don't think any average person could ever train their intelligence to be, say, John von Neumann. Thus it is not _completely_ mutable. He was a genetically superior specimen by every account and evidenced such from a very young age. But a good 15-20 point boost, especially if we did not train ourselves to our fullest before? Maybe. I used to process more slowly, now I process faster, because I pushed to think quicker. Thus it is not completely _fixed_, either. Definitely we can eradicate racial IQ gaps, I believe (average Black-White IQ gap in the US is 15 points favoring Whites, by the way.), Rushton et. al. be damned. If I remember right, in some places it was actually done, thus proving its possibility. (Interesting tidbit the racists seem not to address: Bhutan's and China's people are both “Mongoloid Asian" race by racist theory – but Bhutan has IQ 85, China at 105, at least using racists' own data sets. I wonder also what the IQ for rural China vs. urban wealthy China looks like. I suspect the 105 number comes from having a large proportion of the latter in the sample.)

The populace cared a lot. People were pissed. The 1990s were a vacation from history, at least in America (the Balkans weren't nearly as nice): things were so easy that we actually thought that George W. Bush & Al Gore were decent choices for President. We napped after the end of the Cold War; 11 September was a brutal wake-up call.

It's easy to forget how "rocketpunk" CRTs were: High voltage anodes! Dangerous chance of implosions and/or X-Rays!

Amazing to think it was only a few decades since where just about every household had at least one CRT, if not just about one in every room. Sometimes we forget the past was also a strange place.
Because they still wanted to support some EBCDIC code pages which don't include { or }.

I agree that hand written letters don't scale. I also agree that a hand written letter could elicit positive perceptions of the company.

I'd say the reason to do something that doesn't scale is that the rewards for doing it don't scale either. Sitting face to face with a user makes sense when it provides better feedback than A/B UI tests on the homepage. A phone call makes sense because when it opens a dialog that is difficult to approximate via bulk email.

My gut says that a hand written letter probably creates a higher threshold for bi-directional communication: the friction in the channel that makes a hand written letter standout makes it socially difficult for the customer to respond in a less "romantic" channel...I mean, an email response to a hand written letter feels a bit tacky...

...at least with someone I don't know well. Which leads me to think that a hand written letter might be the sort of non-scaling thing appropriate when a company is large and the relationship with the user is non-trivial.

Finally, I know that if I was thinking it was a good idea it would probably be because I'd rather write a letter than make a phone call or in person appearance. That's just my personality favoring something psychologically more comfortable than the risk of rejection.

Good luck.

I quit after the abstract. No one ever said something was quantum because the number 2 * sqrt(2) appeared, kind of like no one really thinks that something is a circle just because you can coax pi out of it.

Now, if they actually violated Bell's inequality in a non-quantum experiment in which Bell's inequality were actually applicable, that would be huge news (and grounds to try to confirm the results). But finding a number that violates it out of context isn't news at all.

tl:dr 2.78 3.14. Hence this post is quantum and circular.

Think about men's boxing... What sort of fight is possible between a flyweight and heavy weight boxer? The flyweight may land good shots since that fighter will be faster on his feet, but the heavy weight boxer needs only to land a decent blow, and the flyweight is out.

Men and women are structurally different. Few sports feature an advantage for a woman's smaller size, shorter reach, and muscle fat ratio. I think rock climbing is one of those sports?

Anyway, I think it's awesome that women's sports have developed so much in my lifetime. Sporting scholarships are available for young women now and allowing a whole class of women access to higher education. I'm a terrible couch potato, but had I been athletically inclined, there would not have been the opportunities during my childhood as there are today.
That's partly an argument for Flow or the eventual strict null flag in TypeScript.

That being said, that was my first reaction too. Null safe code is so important. How you do it (be it with Flow, Lodash, whatever), that doesn't matter, but I do find myself leaning toward libraries over native when payload size doesn't matter too much because of this.

A combination of Flow, Ramda and Sanctuary (for Maybes) if you want to be a bit more niche can give some pretty amazing results.

How about a little more color:

There are 20.2 million kids in US colleges (12.2 million college students below the age of 25. There are another 8.2 million over the age of 25).

Source:
http://nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/d14/tables/dt14_105.20.as...

Of these students, 974,000 or about 1 in 20 (round it to 5%) is a foreign student.
The important thing about foreign students is that, except for a few cases of truly spectacular talent, they pay full freight and effectively subsidized US students.

Now of those 974,000, about 1 in 3, or about 300,000 are of Chinese origin.

http://foreignpolicy.com/2015/11/16/china-us-colleges-educat...

That is about just under 2%. I hardly consider that crowding out US students.

(Please also note that some US students who go to China and learn from their schools, though I assume this is tiny.)

So in terms of fear of "crowding", I think this is overblown.

In terms of taking IP over to China, its important to understand that the vast majority of this IP is free stuff that anyone can learn. We are talking about math and science up to the graduate level.

When you talk about the truly advanced PhD level stuff, well they are "stealing" it, but they also "create" it by working on experiments, interacting with other people, and so on. They contribute it as much as they "steal" it. At least, in my experience, you can't really learn at the PhD level without engaging other people.

So if someone here believes the Chinese government has a secret plan to send over their best and brightest to toil for years in top academic institutions and take back the knowledge they helped create, all I can say is: this plan is going to backfire and help the US as much as anyone.

SEEKING WORK - Remote
Location: I'm an American currently in India

I guess you can say I've been a software hobbyist for the past six years. I've hopped around from PHP -> Python -> C -> Common Lisp -> Clojure. My focus is web development and I am currently working on a SAAS written in clojure. By now it's around 10 KLOC and needs to be launched.

In the meanwhile, I'd like to make some food/rent money and will develop at a cheap rate until my business can keep itself afloat.

I will work for $15/HR and will do most things software related.

Some things about my tech personality:

- Thinkpad x201
- Emacs with Evil(vim package)
- xubuntu

I believe I am quite competent and will deliver good value.

Please email me at kenny@sonacamp.com if you have interest or further questions.

Thank you and have a good day.

I never claimed it didn't. Re-read my original post, and maybe watch that 4m video?

I only referenced the CFAA as a law that applies to the citizens. The double standard is that the citizens are supposed to respect the law while law enforcement and this judge are blatantly ignoring their half of the social contract when they skip the warrant requirement.

This isn't really that complicated. Again, legal theory doesn't matter to people that are angry and lashing out at anything they see as "establishment".

> They had a warrant.

Alar Software | Chicago, IL | Full-time, ONSITE

Please email resumes to hiring@alar.net

We are working on a platform which aggregates logistics data to enable customers to operate more efficiently and to connect them with other logistics providers. We believe we have a great opportunity to address huge inefficiencies caused in part by a fragmented logistics software landscape.
We are not a typical startup – we’re affiliated with a medium-sized logistics company that has plenty of its own operational issues, and this gives us a few key advantages. We have firsthand knowledge of the problem domain, so the solutions we’re developing are targeting real problems that many of our competitors face. When we’re ready to release, we can utilize our affiliate’s industry connections to facilitate sales. And we don’t have funding concerns, which gives us stability and lets us focus on our product’s quality above all else.

What You’ll Do

-Help design the core architecture that will drive our platform

-Tackle problems unique to integrating big data

What You’ll Need

-Backend C# experience, big data experience a plus

-Talent for creative and functional solutions to difficult problems

-Strong computer science fundamentals

-A stomach for working in a fast-paced and uncertain problem domain

-Ability to ship quality code quickly

Compensation

-Competitive base salary

-Stock options

-Medical, dental, and other benefits

Thank you
> collecting every penny spent on internet, leaving nothing to our national tech industry.

Oh, cry me a river. It's a global economy, this "national tech industry" bull needs to stop. If they can't out-compete globally, that's too bad. Maybe we should try to figure out WHY they cannot effectively compete in the first place? Hint: it's not Facebook's fault.

Also, maybe people are not really interested in a "local" social network? I have friends from all over the world. Should we now push for local social networks and federate them? This has worked so well in the past.
