> statement by Murray to the effect that "the IQ differences between members of each specific race are greater than the IQ differences between the different different races." And yet the Vox article implied that Murray was making sweeping and damning generalizations about the races.

Because the statement that there are any differences between population groups still leads to sobering/disconcerting conclusions for the top (Phds, C-level executives) and the bottom (poverty/crime) in a meritocratic society. (And if people are marrying only inside their class (or education level) this is self-sorting over time)

That you can't conclude that your neighbor in the subway is a genius or dumb as a brick just from her ethnicity (and vice versa) doesn't change these extreme edge cases.

A GTX 1080 is like $550 at this point, K80 cannot really compete with the cost effectiveness here. And it is probably not going out of fashion in one year, so the price is totally worth it.

The real attractiveness for cloud at this point is if you are going to train your model with 8-GPU or more, that is likely not feasible for individual enthusiasts, but demand for such machine is rare for hobbyists anyway.
My gut instinct tells me we're not special enough to be the only intelligent life out there. We humans have reliability had our egos crushed over and over again as we learned that we are not the center of the solar system, nor the only galaxy, etc, etc.

I think it's way more likely the universe is teeming with intelligent life, but in dimensions that we're not evolved enough to comprehend or sense, and the thought that we are alone is laughable from the point of view of the "aliens".

Hell, we don't even have the faintest idea of how our own brains work, why we need to sleep, and all kinds of other things. To even believe for an instant that we are so special that we're actually alone in the entire universe or even the galaxy is a bit ridiculous.
Isn't there an abstraction cost though, since that price is only for half a board? In my experience (with AWS) I've had a machine with a Titan X outrun a cloud instance by 1.5-2x, which is significant.

There are also other hidden costs that aren't factored into that number. I'm having a hard time getting anything reasonable for under $750/month for 24/7 usage: https://cloud.google.com/products/calculator

Barkham Burroughs' Encyclopaedia of Astounding Facts and Useful Information
I feel like this is a distinction without a difference. We don't care about the anatomical structure of the brain, we care about measured intelligence, which correlates well with performance on a bunch of important things. You can hypothesize a gene that doubles your IQ, but also deletes your spinal cord, making it impossible to interact with the outside world/take IQ tests. Sure, your IQ is higher, but is it more useful?

If your goal is to select for greater intelligence, then genes which prevent the carrier from smoking and dropping their offspring will increase intelligence, which is the point!

There are many reasons that families often prefer locations outside of cities (backyards, larger properties, etc.) but, in general, urban public schools in the US are a mixed bag relative to affluent suburbs. Of course, there are good urban schools but quality varies a lot and it can be a lottery to get a child into a particular school.
The genetic variation that got us here isn't necessarily the same as the variation that remains, though. Perhaps there used to be more variation?

(There is the Flynn effect, but that's too quick to be genetic. Whatever its cause is apparently more important than genetics?)

reddit.com would like a word with you. One of the most active websites in the world, especially social websites. And every thread that tangentially involves a woman (in OP or in comments) features highly upvoted crass discussion of her as a sexual being. Every thread. So women get tired of it and form their own spaces where they can not be drowned out by that garbage.
You're correct, but you're missing his point. The point is that genes do determine maximum intelligence---certain people simply cannot be as smart as certain other people, regardless of how good their environment is to them.
Actually, I rather like maintaining some anonymity.

Right, there's a judge whose son is an attorney in the district, but no mention of him presiding over a case where his son is representing a litigant. That would be a serious ethical breach. A judge having a child who is a lawyer in the same district, on the other hand, is perfectly normal.

How much of IQ do you think is correlated to genetics?
I think newtem0's point is exactly the opposite: regardless of how hard you work or how determined you are, your maximum intelligence comes down to genetics, which is something that you can't change currently.

During the Great Depression we had the CCC. They did a lot of good work that still benefits us today, building overpasses, flood control, trails and erosion protection in parks, fire lookout towers, roads, planted forests, and a ton of other useful stuff. Most of it wouldn't have gotten done otherwise, but we're better off for having it done.

Having said that, I'd start by simply funding as many small, <18 month road projects as I could. That'd suck up a lot of labor, tighten the labor market quickly and easily.

Yep, they respond to every negative review with a free replacement, in order to keep ratings afloat long enough until the product is no longer a best-seller. (I experienced this with an aftermarket battery replacement. Apple original lost its chargeability after 5 years. Anker's lost its in less than 1.) It's a "great" way to make a product "survive" (including replacements) through the warranty period, until the product is obsolete for new customers.

I think you bring up great points but I feel the categories are broad enough to be unhelpful, even if there are statistical trends that bind their members together. I think class lines are more relevant than simply "white males" or "women" or "people of color" since people within those categories often have lives so different from one another as to be unrecognizable (think Malala vs. Emma Watson for instance). Ultimately they are also poor strategic choice because they needlessly alienate people that could be supportive of your political goals, and also give detractors additional ammo (for instance the "white worker with black lung" mentioned below) which leads the debate to be derailed for the most part.

Interesting. I bet it runs the same way in criminal court -- courts specializing in a particular type of crime would be more likely to rule in favor of the prosecutor in cases concerning that type of crime. (Or did I misunderstand what you were saying?)
From the article it says it's the same in Canada? Lobsters catches are down here in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence this season prices are about $8/pound for markets (big lobsters). Maybe they meant south-west Nova Scotia since it is close to Maine. http://www.seafoodnews.com/Login.aspx?ReturnUrl=/SearchStory...

An interesting point lobsters are supposedly immortal they just keep on going if not caught of course (and if not eaten!).

Also interesting in December 2016 there was a mysterious die off of many types of sea life off south-west Nova Scotia. I guess this didn't affect Maine but I'm not sure if it affected NS since their lobster season is in the fall http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/nova-scotia-dead-h...

I'm all for innovation, but this does seem like a bit of a solution in search of a problem. I guess you could say the same about VR, and now they're coming up with good business cases for it, but VR hasn't been touted as a consumer device from day 1, it's only now after some time that it's reaching the common man.

I like these suggestions. Networking is hard but really the best way to find fulfilling work. Implicit networking (meetups, hack nights, hacker spaces) are things I love and come easy which is great.

Interview practice is something I haven't done enough and could stand to do more of. I think one of the things I need to do is take a hard look at all the reasons why I may have failed and see where I can improve. At the very least, unfortunately, most interviews are inconsistent and expectations haven't been set appropriately before hand. Some on-site right away; some never on-site; some a miniscule phone conversation plus a 6 hour coding take-home project. Oddly, intense algorithms haven't come up yet.

Your invitation wasn't to me, but I hope it's ok if I take you up on it. Here is a very personal gripe: some of the women in group A express their frustration by shaming and accusing men beyond what seems justified. But this is often accompanied with the argument that men don't have standing to push back on any of these accusations or ridicule.

The worst example I know is this article that invalidates a vulnerable and personal story by reading it in the most uncharitable and mean-spirited way, such that no empathy with the man is possible.

Similar to the "code of blue" when it comes to police misconduct, no one seems willing to criticize fellow women when stuff like this comes out and say "that's uncalled for" or "that's not what feminism is about."

The son of a federal judge in that district started a law firm that specializes in patent law. Even if his son does not represent clients in front of him, his son makes money, because the judges there did not allow summary judgement for a long time.

> people who are more closely related (from a genetic point of view) are likely to have more similar intelligence.

This may seem almost trivial, as most people probably have this opinion anyway. But it still has inconvenient ramifications for egalitarism. For example: is someone in Harvard because their filthy rich family bought them a place and had connections ... or are they maybe clever because they come from a clever family?

> How closely related you are doesn't map to anything else cleanly.

What do you mean?
If a gene decreases intelligence indirectly via nearsighted, it would be good to know that so you can get people glasses. (Or, actually, you don't really need to know about the genes in that case.)
Those lesser races included Irish and most Catholics as well, blacks were literally a whipping boy used both as cheap labor and way to keep lesser white races in line. End of the day people are assholes.

Many of these things can be read in different ways. The modern interpretation is to read everything through a racial lens, but I don't think that captures the essence of the issue. The initial minimum wage laws really targeted sweatshops and child labor. It was viewed then that these employers had way too much power over labor and were depressing wages overall.

Where to draw the line between anti-Chinese antagonism and pushing out predatory business is subjective. But I think if you look at the circumstances surrounding the issue and the laws, you'll find more of the latter.

>use principal components to successfully control away population structure

PCA doesn't perfectly control away population structure, especially if you have cryptic tiny subpopulations in your dataset that only few individuals are in. In that case you don't have enough signal to establish the subpopulations. It's also a function of the way you call your SNPs - if you don't have enough SNPs, or focus on a different method, PCA won't magically know about those unobserved populations.
I am curious, what is the definition of human intelligence? Blanket statements like A being more intelligent than B don't mean much outside of specific context. It is likely that certain kind of genes influence certain specific ability like math or soccer more than others. The idea of blanket intelligence does not provide much room for us to optimise for specific areas of intelligence.
it's not that simple. People change jobs.
Maps for Unity: Location Based Games and Mapbox – Brad Feld – Medium
I didn't see the parent comment here but it sounds writ with condescension and lacking in substance. Your sentiment is definitely true. Burnout is hard and has an unfortunate spider-web effect throughout one's ability to find further work. After it subsides, I found myself looking at the field in a different light, but more importantly found it incredibly hard to do the side-projects and creative work I once found so easy.
Oh boy. Your criticism is that I overestimate wages and your counter-example is a $10,000 investment? "Nearly half of Americans would have trouble finding $400 to pay for an emergency" (https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2016/05/my-secr...). How are these sub-$100 per day folks going to scrape together $10,000 for investing?

Thanks for this comment. I was wondering if it is Pittsburgh broadly that has problems with Uber, or just a handful of residents and Pittsburgh officials that don't like Uber and are willing to give the newspaper the quotes it needs to the manufacture controversy that will generate clicks and ad revenues.

It sounds like the company said it would help, but that this government official is angry that they didn't help by just writing a $25 million dollar check, which quite frankly sounds like a big enough ask that you get that in writing if you're expecting a financial commitment that big. Did Mr. Peduto communicate the magnitude of his expectations or did he think any company would just agree to whatever he asks after the fact. There is a lot of room for interpretation in "indicating it would support Pittsburgh’s application for a federal grant to redo local transportation". To me, that sounds like the company offered to help them with planning by lending professional expertise and not simply cash.

Furthermore, the NY Times doesn't even try to hide its bias in its attempt to manufacture controversy. One litmus test to use is if a journalist presents the complete story when mentioning the travel ban and subsequent #DeleteUber campaign, or if they selectively omit details that exonerate the company of wrongdoing.
Google also has/had Borgmon, Sawzall, GCL and a few Python derivatives.
