On a more pedestrian level, it's just courteous to not generalize.

All you need to do is ask an expat Canadian how much they enjoy repeatedly being asked "What part of the States are you from?". After a few dozen people make the same assumption about you, it can become aggravating. Never the less, it's a reasonable question to ask. 90% of people who sound like Americans (roughly speaking) come from the USA.

The more common a stereotype is, the more infuriating it is to be an outlier. So it's considerate to bear that in mind, even if the stereotype is valid.
Stereotypes do surely contain a grain of truth, but it's very important not to use any of them when judging individual people.
Well, that depends on your individual attitude to the relative risks of each drug. I realise that answer sounds unhelpful, but the alternatives all have risks. Opioids (and tramadol, a opioid that also has other effects) have been variably associated with birth defects, but the evidence is not conclusive[1].

Why? Accurate stereotypes are simply group-level information about people. You could call a stereotype a weakly informative prior.
In my accelerator experience, they spent all their time on pitching and no time in actually accelerating the business growth. I'm afraid pitching for money is too prominent in startups.

How about pitching for customers? Build something people want to buy or support with real effort and pitch them on it.

Critical early stage time is wasted with a third or half the founders efforts going to raising large sums of money before product market fit is even there.
> Those are pretty good points, but I still find it weird that we forbid businesses to use all the information they have available to make business decisions.

Every rule in society can be formulated as a constraint on businesses. Typically, minimum wage prevents companies from making business decisions that would otherwise be profitable. Banning script money as a payment for wages also prevents them from making these decisions. This stems from the fact that the society view the common good as more important than the business interest of some of its members.

In that sense, making decisions based on data is an action like any other, and is subject to common scrutiny.
You don't even need these additional columns in PostgreSQL, thanks to expression indexes! [1]

Just add an expression index for your new field:

CREATE INDEX ON blah BTREE ((jsoncolumn->>'new_thing'));

Then, the following kind of queries are blazingly fast due to the index:

SELECT * FROM blah WHERE jsoncolumn->>'new_thing' = 'some_value';

This is less error prone than managing the consistency of the additional columns on your own. And if you still need some kind of pseudo-table, consider creating a simple view for that.

Not very insightful. If you're used to video games, you have an inherent advantage over any "new" problem that is posed in terms of a video game.

Even simple things like automatically switching your mind off because you find video games less interesting than a blackboard (which is the case for me) have to be taken into account.

This is really the same as intelligence tests that make assumptions over the cultural environment.
I'm wondering to which extent this effect can be attributed to illusion of competence, i.e. with age some meta learning program in our brains that is concerned with managing novel data simply becomes lazy because (1) adults really are able to handle most of the situations they are confronted with and (2) they are also expected to be able to deal with any situation. That might simply lead to a detoriation of the sort of novelty detection. Adults tend to automatically explain away things they don't understand (possibly to save face) while the young examine them. With increasing age these kinds of automatisms might simply override or detoriate learning strategies that are required to learn quickly.
I'm not talking about end-users, but admins.
I wouldn't go that far. That and other sections of the website may be incomplete, but the pages load quickly, don't require a multitude of JS calls or other slowdowns. I love pages that do what they're meant to without unwarranted bloat. Gmail and Github use JS for web apps, and that's okay, but a static page doesn't need that and is worse off if they incorporate it. If you go to a random wikipedia article and try to click through references and land on a newpaper's site, 4 out of 5 times the link will be dead. So much for complex CMS installations. I'm (not) sorry that I prefer web pages that work more than ones that chase some short-lived frontend tech.

With all that being said, I'm sure the author would appreciate a contribution to fill in the blanks.
Yes, I did look but unless you put a heavy emphasis on the word "partly" the conclusion in the paper didn't seem in line with the abstract.

"The results presented here establish a negative relationship between educational enrollment and the level of public benefits, albeit with two caveats. First, it is beyond the scope of this paper to estimate the underlying behavioral parameters—we strongly encourage future research to explore this relationship further. Second, we neither have precise estimates of [...] the disincentives for educational attainment that wage compression and public benefits constitute. Hence, we cannot determine whether the similarities in educational mobility in the two countries occur because the effects offset each other, though we find this to be a plausible explanation given the evidence at hand."

So foreclosures protect mortgages, rather than housing directly, right? My take on ancestor was than housing was very important so "price distortions" need special intervention to protect housing as a societal need. I'm probably overthinking it.
Let me quote Daniel Kahneman in "Thinking, Fast and Slow"

"The social norm against stereotyping, including the opposition to profiling, has been highly beneficial in creating a more civilized and more equal society. It is useful to remember, however, that neglecting valid stereotypes inevitably results in suboptimal judgments. Resistance to stereotyping is a laudable moral position, but the simplistic idea that the resistance is costless is wrong. The costs are worth paying to achieve a better society, but denying that the costs exist, while satisfying to the soul and politically correct, is not scientifically defensible. Reliance on the affect heuristic is common in politically charged arguments. The positions we favor have no cost and those we oppose have no benefits. We should be able to do better."

How to make your point succinctly and non-boringly
"Au Pair" means "on par" meaning living as part of the family. As such, au pairs get house and board and a small amount of pocket money, but no salary as such. They also don't have clear-cut work duties, they help around a house, as a member of the family would be expected to do, cooking, cleaning, washing etc. As a parent, you're generally not supposed to leave the au pair in sole charge of the children for more than brief periods of time (as you would a babysitter). That's the general theory, of course, individual arrangements range widely.

A nanny is a professional employee of the family, generally has training and certification, has clear duties and makes an actual salary. An "au pair nanny" is an oxymoron, that would be a "live in nanny" and, yes, definitely rich people stuff. Au pairs are definitely possibilities for the middle class.

> For me just getting it complied in a vm was an ordeal

You're right, the process of building and installing a custom kernel is much harder than it used to be 10-15 years ago.

And I believe this is a problem that impacts a certain kind of contribution. Because even for the most experienced and competent of programmers, the bar for entry is too high.

The distributions are partly to blame here. The complexity of initrd setups have meant that testing even a small or single line change is an ordeal. The wrapping in package managers like RPM makes incremental builds of a kernel impossible.

My personal setup is based on Slackware without an initd; a kernel build resembles a 'make; make install' like it has been for the past 15+ years. I've been unable to achieve anything similar in reasonable time on a CentOS system.

On a related note, does anyone else remember a study (I think linked here) that measured certainty / uncertainty in individuals?

The idea was that it asked open ended questions, ranging from questions such as "What is the GDP of USA" to "How many days in a lunar cycle" or "How many symphonies did Beethoven compose" and would not only present a handful of options for the answer but also ask you to self-rate how accurately you think you knew the answer.

The idea was not to measure the actual responses, but to look at how well people know whether they know things.

I found it very interesting and it reminded of this: I wonder how measures on that scale relate to learning agility.

This really depends on whether you view racism as a moral failing, in which case the answer is "obviously not" or as a type of bug in a social (or social/technical) system, in which case the answer is "of course".
"most" is impossible to search. "mostpager" would have been better with a soft-link from most as default.

Everyone expected it to die and most hash power switched over, but not all. Enough was left that the anti-fork people started calling it classic and poloniex started trading it, probably to let people who now had ETC liquidate. But the trading wasn't a straight line to zero as most expected, the "movement" became s but real and now it is still a very large crypto currency by market cap - and hash rate- despite being the "loser".

Given how dynamic Ethereum is code wise there may well be a market for an Ethereum alternative for ETC to fill. Lisk and Expanse seem to indicate this is possible.

> The fact is that every language has these problems

Other languages solve them with proper module or library systems.

Rubygems + Bundler is still the standout in this field. Based on my day job, bundler still better at the basic job of "get the stuff I need" and "keep the stuff I need" than any of Pip, NPM, Godep, Composer, Conda and I forget the rest.

> whereas in other languages, you would run into and make a different ad-hoc solution for every project.

It depends on the language. Ruby and NodeJS have clearly dominant single systems. Rust has one by design. Python is a bit of a mess but Pip seems dominant, with Conda for scientific packages. PHP has Composer, which makes a lot of things tolerable, but not great. Go package managers are not really settled, between Godep, Go vendoring and Glide.
