>In the second half of the 20th century, it was becoming ever clearer that our unique evolutionary history was responsible for many aspects of our unique human psychology

In my experience, most "evolutionary psychology" stories are also ad hoc, unfalsifiable at best, and loaded with cultural biases from those who propose them. We don't have a good idea of what traits actually carry a selective advantage, and those advantages are often highly context dependent. The brain, culture, and evolution are both incredibly complex, and so you can often find some way to smush puzzle pieces together that almost works, but that doesn't mean that's what's actually happening.

> I also don't see where iOS' "Shared iPad" feature lets you log in to any iPad anywhere like a Google Apps account would.

You can certainly log into any iPad in the school.

Regarding other devices, AFAICT you log into Shared iPad with a 'Managed Apple ID', which you could probably also log into on icloud.com or use natively from personal Apple devices you have, though since macOS and iOS currently only support one iCloud account configured at a time (per user account in the former case) the utility would be limited, as you'd probably also have a personal Apple ID.

I'm a recluse myself. Modern society has little to offer to most men that aren't top tier earners, looks etc.

You'll live in some shit tier city because you aren't making enough to move somewhere nice (or can't get a work visa), people around you are aggressive low IQ proles in Europe - always looking to pick fights (see https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/1713078/moments-after-photo-of... ), if you aren't an aggressive muscular guy you'll just get some fugly harpy who will "settle" for you. There's just nothing in it for me.

I have been to Japan and the society is fairly autistic. People are polite but want to stay in their own little bubble. You could collapse on the street in Tokyo and nobody would give a shit if you don't block the entrance of a business. In the outskirts of Tokyo people live in bleak housing blocks that already look depressing from far away that make modern condos look like masterpieces.

Think this ten times the size: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e8/Cwmbran_...

The society is super hierarchical, with old people being on top and young people earning almost nothing, jobs being hard to come by, guys not getting girlfriends / wifes cause strong independent women don't need no man and socializing with random people outside the internet is highly uncommon as well.

If I was in Japan I would be a recluse as well.

EDIT: Bring on the downvotes. I miss the usenet days where people actually had similar opinions to me and it was still a 99% male space where women were universally hated - long before fuckbook, twatter and young engineered brainwashed by colleges into becoming social justice warriors.

Excel has issues with numerical figures greater than 13 digits, and can't distinguish from a serial number in a csv or an integer.

Importing a small (30k rows of so) set of of tax information thus became hell.

Well, that's the case for many developers, they are often not the user of their own software.

The most spectacular exception is Visual Studio, written by developers for developers and one can tell. They re-write it from scratch regularly and add major features that really make sense, catering for both basic and very advanced users. Visual Studio is by far the best software that Microsoft makes.

Office on the other hand is a software written by developers who are trying to imagine what a user does with it. And it shows. No major new feature since Excel 2007, and particularly very bad at certain scenarios that are really core usage of excel (linking a powerpoint deck to a spreadsheet, formula auditing (visual studio had "go to reference" forever), a VBA editor that hasn't changed since 1999, etc.

If the dog doesn't die it means the food is good enough!

[edit] VBA is a fantastic tool, but it's frozen in time. The worst is that Microsoft did attempt to fix it, it was called VSTA, and was basically a light version of visual studio embedded in office like the VBA editor, to be able to script office in .net. That would have been a great feature. And they shipped a version, if I remember the early version of visio had VSTA. But for some reason they killed it. Let's not change the dog's habits!

"A musical instrument is much more direct. Want to play grumpy and loud? You play grumpy and loud. Want to play soft and singingly? You can do that. Every nuance is controlled by you, down to the finest grain"
That is answered by choosing classes and character builds, item-setup and gameplay strategies. There is far more gameplay variety than several choices of what to play on a single instrument. Video games allow more flexibility than choosing to swing the sword.
You pick skills, choose where you play, choose which items and artifacts you use, which quests to complete, what clans to join, which server/shard to migrate to, which players to fight, which players to ally/party, what to sell, what to buy, where to explore, what to seek. I advice playing a few MMORPGs before considering the genre an simplistic linear story.

I'm a longtime Apple watcher. Apple is pretty predictable in some things-- and they have a rhythm.

If they had minor Mac introductions they would have just appeared on the store a week ago (they wait until event time to decide what makes the cut in case something has production delays, then they push out the stuff that didn't make the cut the week before the event.)

That they made no mention of the Mac means that they will have another event in early October (they need to be on the market by November and December so early October gives enough breathing room from this event and enough timing to have another event.)

I think if they just had the new Macbook it would have been mentioned today.

That they didn't makes me think that at least three major product announcements will be made in October.

-- Macbook Pro new model I expect.
-- Display with built in GPU I think is a distinct possibility
-- New Mac of some other kind if they have something significant (eg: not just a revision with the latest intel processor)
-- They might have something genuinely new (it still happens.)

I'm certain enough about this that if I could predict Apple's stock movement based on an event, I would be buying options with an early October expiration.

It's not ideal, but it affords a higher level of dignity. People have something (work) to trade for money. After automation, the majority of people will have nothing of value to offer. That would affect their independence and dignity.

I believe a better solution would be to put automation in the service of people directly, as property of the people. Maybe small communities would be able to combine work with automation to provide for all their necessities. In the future, a few solar panels, 3D-printers and robots could possibly bootstrap a whole community.

Then the role of the government would be to provide the initial technology and to make sure each community has its own bootstrap working in order, not to distribute UBI. People would still have work to do - to supervise automation and work alongside with it, where necessary.

Somehow, control and ownership of the means of production (automation) would need to be divided and spread equally in the population, otherwise, it will just detract from the value of people.

But if we spread automation ownership, then there could be a new level of independence where a community could provide for all its needs internally and perhaps, even desire more autonomy from the state.
Device interrupts will feed the generator so that the output from the CSPRNG is indistinguishable from random.

There's lots of stuff happening on a network that's impossible to guess and replay. This is also called noise.

Keep in mind that the CSPRNG generator only needs a random seed, then it can produce psuedo random numbers all day long. Linux will continue to reseed as more interrupts occur.

Linux will also save a 512 byte file on shutdown and seed the generator with it on the next boot up, so you immediately enter into a safe/random state.
Sorry, I am a little confused. Why was it a happy ending? Because the VP was just a titular post? Also, looking at your comment, it reads like the problem went away not because the hospital improved, but because the data stopped being reported. This does not look like a happy ending either. And if the line infection was cleared up in hours, how did it also "probably didn't come from the line to begin with"?
>think "there's a few of those in every high school class"

Rather a few of those in every high school. 2 standard deviations means 2.5% per side. This is one in 40 people, so probably on average 2-3 people per year in an average high school.

Of course, pre selection can lead to higher values, but having several children outside of 2std dev in a class won't be average in the vast majority of schools.

I still don't understand what it accomplishes. Why does inline matter?

In the worst case scenario, where the server doesn't have all the blocks of the file cached in random acces memory, the server can fetch the single, inlined file with fewer input operations per second from local storage far faster than one's web browser can fetch multiple files over the network. This means that latency is lowered, and thus delivery time is accelerated.

The best way to validate an email address:

Send an email that they need to click on (or an email with a code they need to enter), OR ask the OAuth provider with authority for it to validate it (i.e. Google Oauth for Google addresses, Windows Live for Microsoft Accounts, etc).

The best way to identify someone with an email address:

Store a canonical version of their email address alongside the users email. Use the canonical version when signing-in/identifying and the raw version originally supplied to send email.

This is the only way to not have duplicate accounts for firstlast@googlemail.com vs first.last@googlemail.com vs first.last@gmail.com .

The canonical email is always lowercase, no dots, no + part, no prefix or suffix columns, known domain aliases are normalised to the most common alias (googlemail.com > gmail.com).

I wrote a SQL canonical email func recently (in preparation for Persona shut-down) if anyone is interested: https://github.com/microcosm-cc/microcosm/blob/master/db/mig...

> when linguists actually went looking at the variation in languages across the world, they found counterexamples to the claim that this type of recursion was an essential property of language. Some languages—the Amazonian Pirahã, for in­­stance—seem to get by without Chomskyan recursion.

This is a pretty thin counter-example. A Christian missionary who became a linguist claimed that the Pirahã language had recursion. Then he later claimed that it did not have recursion. Linguists went down to study the Pirahã and found out that his first reports of Pirahã being recursive were correct, as they observed recursion in Pirahã language when they were there.

The authors return to this language spoken by less than 400 people later on:

> Chomsky defenders have responded that just be­­cause a language lacks a certain tool—recursion, for example—does not mean that it is not in the tool kit... makes Chomsky’s proposals difficult to test in practice, and in places they verge on the unfalsifiable.

Recursion in languages has not been falsified - it has been found in all languages, including Pirahã.

Speaking personally, and not on behalf of my organisation where I deployed Box (5000+ seats), the additional enterprise controls are one of the reasons Box is superior to some other file sync and share solutions. It's also stand-alone, meaning by using Box you're not committing yourself to a path towards email, docs, hangouts, etc. A lot of Google and Microsoft's value-add capabilities come if you use all of their products. If you want a stand-alone solution (which sometimes has a more focused product), Box and Dropbox are the main contenders from an enterprise perspective. Hightail also potentially.

I agree that it's hard to say what would happen with regards to rent seekers, but corner stores aren't in the same situation. Their increased costs are either due to the rents being increased by the person who owns the building, or the simple fact that they do not have economies of scale so they end up with higher prices on the items that don't expire quickly in order to make a profit as they won't make much off of gasoline or milk, for example.

There are plenty of discount stores that are working their way in, e.g. Dollar General, Family Dollar, but they don't have control over the rents either and in alot of larger cities they also are facing opposition from the small businesses that would be out of business since they would have no chance of competing on price at that point.

Whether having every small bodega or other small retail shop replaced by 7-11, Dollar General, Family Dollar, etc. and yet another avenue for access to the middle class shutdown is worth the affordable prices for everyone else is debatable. I can see both sides of this anyways.
