These stats are interpreted wrong. Assuming poor college kids started out from 1st quintile(<20%), then at 40 yo, 41% of them are above 4th quintile(>60%), while only 19% for poor HS dropouts. And there are more poor college kids in 5th quintile(>80%) than poor HS dropouts, 20% to 16%. This is from conclusion of the paper: "Nonetheless, we find it encouraging that a set of well-evaluated programs appear,
according to the model, to make it possible to close most of the gap in the lifetime incomes between children born into lower and higher income families"

Well using IQ as a proxy for intelligence, you can find many sources that say there's no significant correlation between IQ and wealth (https://researchnews.osu.edu/archive/intlwlth.htm).

Many studies find that your parents' wealth is the single greatest influencer of your wealth (http://www.umass.edu/preferen/gintis/intergen.pdf).

I would say that who your parents are is about as "lucky" a thing could be, considering it's totally independent of who you are or decisions you make.

Very much so: a surprising number of respectable people use 4chan: many HNers show up there from time to time, IIRC, and it really was an intersection of American and Japanese net cultures, with people taking code and ideas from 2chan, but the culture coming from the site's roots amongst the goons of SA, and also from migrants coming from the usenet.

It's a pretty interesting site, in general, and fairly neat in some ways.

Unfortunately, the best part of 4chan was axed. What was the best part of 4chan? the text boards (aka world4ch): They were less crowded with awfulness, and threads were immortal. It also played host to /prog/, the programmer's chan, which is probably most famous for inventing the now-famous sleepsort (the ancient HN thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2657277). Sadly, because threads were immortal, archives were rare, and sleepsort, along with many other threads, has been lost to the mists of time.

Hitler himself was very intolerant of any of this mysticism business. All these activities and societies were banned in Germany once they came to power. There was a number of people, in SS mainly, who were deeply into mysticism, and that was tolerated because of their status. So Hitler wouldn't have sent people to search for the Arc, but Himmler & co. might. Just another illustration of a common misconception about nazi-fascist regimes: they are regarded as highly organized, “precise“, bureaucracies, when in fact they were run mostly arbitrary and ad hoc, a consequence of the Fuhrer Principle.
Wendy Carlos is awesome! I didn't know about the 2000 version, I will check that out.

Tuning is just a block of data on a digital synthesizer, but on an analog synthesizer it's not. If you use a keyboard controller, it's generating pitch control voltages with a fixed 2^(1/12) ratio between notes (or logarithm thereof). It would be challenging to convert this into a just intonation.

On the other hand, if the pitch control voltages are generated by potentiometers on an analog sequencer [1] and the musician is setting those potentiometers by ear, the musician will probably end up tuning to a just intonation because it sounds more correct to the ear.

Right. Their models are "trained" on people who have credit card debt. No history of using a credit card? "Ugh, weirdo, don't bother, send them to subprime."

Happened to me too -- I was working at my first job for 18 months but had never gotten a credit card. I had never had debts and was asking for a mortgage less than 2x my salary while making 3x the median income for the area and at its largest employer; still classified as subprime.

What's worse is that I could go to the annual credit report services and get my score, which would show it as 740, but then any actual lender I went to wouldn't see the 740; they'd see "no data", which puts you in the subprime bucket.

I would be auto-rejected even for $500-limit store credit cards.

(It's been since resolved and I've had a credit card for a while but still, very screwy.)
Oh certainly. I am just saying that right now, the estimated future value of oil is oscillating wildly, I think, more wildly than I think it ought. I would like to lay some money on that over, say, a ten year time span. Not enough to be a huge deal if I am wrong or that I never have to work again if I am right or anything, but I think it would be an interesting bet.

(Unlike many people, I don't think I am smarter than the market... But I do think I am less excitable and often have a longer time horizon. And yes, I know that I am probably just as wrong as the people who think they are smarter than the market.)

>people assume they are going to land on the mid-upper end of it no matter what the range is

Well who's fault is that? And that statement in itself is a (factually incorrect) assumption.
Raising land values does in fact produce taller buildings. HIgh land value means land is either scarce or very attractive. With high land value it makes more sense to make a two story building on one plot of land rather than a one story building on two plots of land. That's even in the face of NIMBY neighbors since builders must deal with that no matter what.

Tunings (whether by key shift or by reference frequency or whatever other means) can evoke a different sort of feeling and mood in music IMHO. Music is such a personal thing in so many ways, so even though the "beneficial healing energy" / "pure tone of math fundamental to nature" thing is kind of BS, I'll allow a little out there mystical pseudobabble. :) It's just a pity in a way that the mystical BS focuses only on one number.

Personal example: As a musician, A=432 doesn't sound that different to me, not enough to make that much of a difference in tone. However I do like A=425, an arbitrary "in between" tuning on the flat side of the middle between A and Ab in A=440 tuning. It adds an entire new mood set for each key that is rather different than A=440, distinct enough to me where the moods don't overlap (whereas with A=432 it does).

There is no science that can explain this sort of thing that I know of, and I fully expect that others would have different interpretations.
>I haven't the slightest clue why you believe someone wouldn't garden when they rent.

I do. My sister likes to garden, and when she was renting she put a lot of effort into creating a large, beautiful garden.

Then the landlord decided she needed to move her ailing mother closer and terminated my sister's lease. After that my sister didn't bother with a garden until she bought a house.

Another issue is partially written responses. If the connection fails in the middle of your curl (or the source's application crashes) you can receive part of a shell script that could very well contain `rm -rf /usr`.

Edit: I cooked up an example actually. Here is a small Go program that will panic after 1 nanosecond: https://gist.github.com/kyleterry/dc304503dfca2d149b189694d1...

This will sometimes return partial responses.

Run this in a bash `while true` loop and curl localhost:8080 a few times. You will mostly see empty and full responses because my example isn't perfect, but occasionally you will only get part of the script dumped to the screen and that's the problem with curl|bash.

I don't know if you used the technique on your own post but I find my self strongly agreeing with it ;)

Every technique, every tool, every idea can used for "good" and "bad". A problem I see is the massively overpowered tendency of the personal gains seekers and market winners and profit hunters to engross and harmfully misuse _everything_ for their gains. It makes me seek to discover how helpful and constructive ideas/techniques are violated (bcos they are only very shallowly understood) and used _against_ people. Quite often I find this has to do we the ethics an area is entertaining. So therapists, social workers f.e. will use those tools differently and in a more constructive way than ppl. in the Biz-World bound only to "Biz-Ethics".

Yes, you scan or insert your card when entering the station from which you are departing and then scan again when exiting the destination station. But you are only charged on exit because the fare is calculated based on the distance between stations. If you go through the emergency exit at the destination and thus avoid scanning your card, you can skip out on the fare.

They have emergency exits in most public transit systems, but usually they have some sort of alarm that sounds when you open it. But the BART emergency exits are literally just a swiveling door. If there's no attendant, you could literally just walk out of it without attracting much notice. I've seen people do this multiple times. I don't know why the BART authority considers this acceptable. I suppose they can catch offenders if they notice that the card is always used to swipe in but never to swipe out.
Consider also how much of payroll goes directly through you or your employee to rent or mortgage in the areas where software talent lives and you can see why the bootstrapping startups that caused the the tech revolution in the first place are infidelity harder now.

>I disagree. Apple's stance on privacy has everything to do with the personality and life experiences of Tim Cook.

Stop focusing on feelings and personality.

It would be a violation of his role as Chief to lead the business on purely emotional grounds, making decisions based on his experiences growing up.

He has an obligation to return value to his shareholders.

Privacy is a Business Moat[1] for Apple, it's something they can offer to differentiate themselves from their competitors, and frankly: nothing more.

It's a clever moat because Google's moat is the actual opposite. Google says we will take your private data, reorganize it and return it to you in more useful ways. This is a powerful moat because consumers demonstrate that they like the convenience of Google's features.

Apple chose the exact opposite moat: we will respect your privacy and not run advanced intelligence against the dataset of you. It's clever because it turns a disadvantage (Google is waaaaay better at it) into an advantage (Not doing it is a good thing).

You can rationalize the calculus with feelings but that doesn't change the fact that Apple isn't a business run on emotions it's run on rational decisions, like market differentiation to create a perception of value.
