Restricting your analysis to the US, research indicates that IQ is actually more beneficial than your parents socioeconomic status in determining future success. Here's some small articles touching on the subject

I've seen those films of Proenneke. Unlike McCandless, he had mad skills in a seemingly infinite number of disciplines. He also planned things out but, and here's the kicker, he had friends on the outside who'd arrange to have supplies flown in to him so he was hardly living in isolation. Even so, he was a pretty amazing guy.
I understand that but it's not a thing it itself.

It's a concept which we use to describe certain abilities in humans but there is no IQ sitting somewhere. While EQ is definitely close to be "fraudulent" it's still sitting on a gradient with EQ being the best model we have when externally accessing someones mental abilities but it's not a thing, it's a human construct.

You didnt have trouble with the term EQ because it tries to suggest it is like IQ? Eventhough one of them is science and the other is less scientific than a gossip magazine?
I agree but the substance can only come from the company, ie fuller answers

Knives were banned because of an surge in knife crime. Guns have obviously been banned for an age. I suspect you have an ulterior motive.
Unfortunately I don't have anything that isn't immediately searchable via Google (for example: http://disconnected.systems/blog/nim-on-adruino/). I was indeed planning to write a chapter on this but due to page count constraints I wasn't able to, that said I will do my best to write an article on this at least and post it on nim-lang.org as well as on book.picheta.me :)

I do also know one person that was working on some cool microcontroller stuff in Nim, I keep asking him to write a blog article about this but he's currently busy with other things. Maybe soon it will happen to though. If so I will encourage him to post it on Nim's website and if he doesn't I will definitely tweet about it here: https://twitter.com/nim_lang.

Sorry I can't help more!
I work in the control room for an electrical generation system an this isn't the case at all for us.

Each desk has 12 ~30 inch monitors, and each monitor has a similar degree of information density, from monitors of system frequency, voltages, power flows etc. around the network, also financial / market information. There's a mix of diagrams, tabular data, maps, plots.

Two of the monitors are devoted to a geographic view with weather data, locations of field staff etc. Check out the similar setup from this California control room:
https://www.bizjournals.com/sacramento/news/2016/06/17/calif...

Most displays show live data, but are not setup to be interacted with normally.

I think the truth is probably due to:
1) the same with all enterprise software, the folks who end up using the displays have token-to-no input into the purchasing or design decisions. Actually now I think of it, check out the interfaces marketed to electronic music composers (generally individuals or small studios):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOq8R55xMyo

2) While I bet operators would select Tronish UI given the choice, they don't _need_ it because ultimately (with enough experience) the model of the system sits in your head, and the interface simply gives cues.

Well, if you feel like it's perfectly fine for founders to promote their gaming and beer hobbies instead of experience with a very serious industry with literal life or death consequences for couriers in some countries, where the company explicitly rejects any legal liability in their terms of service and has no 24/7 support available, by all means: use their service.

With regards to success I don't think it's a strong an argument as claimed. If you look at what people from Mensa are doing or look at how child prodigies often ends with not so successful adulthood it's pretty obvious that it's way more complicated to measure success in life than to look at IQ.

Most of the correlation with high income is because their skills are needed by society, but go back 300 years and you wouldn't find the same correlation going even further back it would matter even less.

Furthermore high IQ doesn't mean more likely to be entrepreneur or creator of new things.

So yes IQ is a very strong model but it's relation to success is much weaker.
I live in a neighborhood with this system installed. In fact you can see it at 3:28, pretty much all footage from that point on is from there.

When it works, it REALLY works. There is no trash in the streets, it's all in these tubes that you place your trash in. Some buildings have these tubes integrated, some have the tubes in the street kind of variety. Every now and then you'll see special trucks come in that quite literally suck the garbage out of the ground to empty out the underground storage.

Sometimes it doesn't work though. Maybe it's because people fill up the tubes with weird shit but I think mostly it's just because they don't empty the system often enough. When I first moved in this was a big issue, but now I haven't seen it in a while (actually years probably) so maybe they've figured out the a schedule better.

It is really nice, it works well and truly is an out of sight out of mind kind of thing. I'd imagine it's easier for garbage collection too since it's centralized, you don't have trucks coming around to each house or block.

There is some garbage that doesn't go in the chutes. Electrical appliances, glass, larger items that won't fit such as pots and pans and lighter furniture. They all go in special garbage rooms so still off the streets, but not quite as cool as giant tubes underground.
> it in my opinion confuses (at least) two things

There are several models of EQ, or EI, (e.g. Petrides 2001, Salovey/Mayer 2004, or Goleman's 1995 book) but none of them treat it as a single thing. Instead they treat it as an array of characteristics or skills.
Is condensation a problem in a freezer? There is no moisture in the air b/c the temp is less than freezing, no?

Condensation happens when moist air hits a cool surface, how much power is your circuit consuming? You may not have a problem.

I have designed a number of telephony products (e.g. T1 repeaters) for use in outdoor environments, we never coated the circuit boards.

My point was that the history of the tech sector and the history of the legal profession are not similar. Hopefully that's very clear at this point.
Introduction to Spark Structured Streaming: Stateful WordCount
> I think it is fair to say that the author's idea of what empathy feels like is completely different to what the rest of the world thinks

I think you misunderstand what he is getting at. Yale researcher Paul Bloom
wrote a whole book about this concept of empathy as a bad thing, and I think that is what the manifesto is getting at (I'd almost argue quoting): https://www.amazon.com/Against-Empathy-Case-Rational-Compass... TL;DR is this:

> We often think of our capacity to experience the suffering of others as the ultimate source of goodness. Many of our wisest policy-makers, activists, scientists, and philosophers agree that the only problem with empathy is that we don’t have enough of it.

> Nothing could be further from the truth, argues Yale researcher Paul Bloom. In AGAINST EMPATHY, Bloom reveals empathy to be one of the leading motivators of inequality and immorality in society. Far from helping us to improve the lives of others, empathy is a capricious and irrational emotion that appeals to our narrow prejudices. It muddles our judgment and, ironically, often leads to cruelty. We are at our best when we are smart enough not to rely on it, but to draw instead upon a more distanced compassion.

This is how that manifesto is being so miscategorised. It says - DIRECT QUOTE - "relying on affective empathy — feeling another's pain — causes us to focus on anecdotes, favour individuals similar to us, and harbour other irrational and dangerous biases". Not empathy is not required. Not empathy is useless, but a specific, nuanced usage of empathy. It is understandable this miscategorisation given how most people see empathy, but it is still borderline strawmanning to impose a definition here that was not intended.

> Also, as a South LA resident, LA doesn't really have an inner city, or at least it hasn't been the area traditionally known for high crime.

The phrase "inner city" is not geographical; it's a code phrase for a predominantly black neighborhood, or in some cases, a lower-income neighborhood.
I really like to hike in Alps, but I don't know how to find these uninhabited places. For sure there are things for more experienced mountaineers, but on these routes there are also people, just more experienced ones.. Besides, I don't want a technically difficult route, I want a route without people..
And I would imagine that somebody smart enough to be so certain that Puerto Rico is US territory that they have to comment multiple times asserting their knowledge of the fact would also be smart enough to realize that the poster probably does know that but considers them distinct regions for most intents and purposes and refers to them as such, and that you would choose to just move on and still somehow understand what is being communicated. But I could be wrong. I'm not an authority on the matter.

For what it's worth, "high street" means the main commercial thoroughfare of an area. A high street would have lots of shops, banks, and restaurants--and thus a lot of foot traffic too, as opposed to a side street or residential area.

Many high streets are in fact called "High Street", but the term can be used regardless of the actual name as a description.
When I said isolated I meant it in exactly that fashion. Isolated and withdrawn, but close enough to still fall back into society if the need - due to internal or external reasons - arose. Someone removing themselves from even the remote chance of human interaction is unlikely to have any evolutionary advantage. And unless I'm reading the article wrong, he did eventually rejoin the masses after 27 years.

I guess was talking about people who feel the need to withdraw in general. I think we've all met a person or two like this, who prefered to be alone. Some just take it further than others.

I'm using forestry for my company site now to give my non-tech cofounder an easy way to write blog posts.

Two suggestions that would really improve my life:

1. A better wysiwyg editor. I've taught her some markdown but every time you switch to wysiwyg and back and make a change I get loads of spans injected into my md.

2. A better media manager with:
- folders
- image resizing (maybe integrate filestack.io as they have some image manipulation)

I love the simplicity of forestry and it's really close to perfect for my use case. Github -> s3 is seamless and having edits committed back is great.

I work in this industry and there are a lot of bad UI choices all around. The picture of the California board looks like a good example and uncluttered. They have the budget out there to do that.

It doesn't have to be this way. There are standards for high performance HMI design where nothing is colored in unless it is an alarm condition.

I usually have to end up designing things the "bad way" because of customer expectation/demand. Some guy designed a screen back in 1989 and that became what they expect.
> the main job of theoretical physics is to prove yourself wrong as soon as possible.

The main job of practical engineering, too.
It is, but it depends on the size of the iteration and who is breaking it down as to whether or not it is useful.
I much prefer, "here is the problem, solve it," to "here is the problem and I'm going to tell you how to solve it, even though I have no idea how software development works.

Yes I've been subjected to that also. But the right way to do it is to have an experienced developer working with the business representative/product owner to do "backlog grooming" before the item ever gets seen by the rest of the team.

I live in Sweden and have a similar system in my apartment building. It's really the height of convenience.

To throw household trash I just open the door and throw it down the hatch placed in the wall. See https://www.dropbox.com/s/184p0ten0kzjvz9/20170806_150718.jp...

The small metal plate in the door is where the mail comes.

This particular installation is not vacuum based though, so we still need a trash car that comes and empties the trash room in the basement.

The Startup podcast did mention that as one of their biggest issues. I didn't know that technically that was their biggest issue.
While I'm certainly willing to accept that "EQ" is unscientific claptrap, coming at this from outside the apparent controversy, this answer is off-putting to me partially because I don't have the context this author assumes (a context which includes enough technical jargon and name drops to make me wonder who exactly this response is written _for_, as presumably academic psychologists are not pursuing professional discourse via Quora).

All that said, his slavish devotion to "IQ is king" makes me seriously question the value of attempting to pursue understanding his point. IQ may well strongly correlate to societally normative positive outcomes, but elevating a single quantitative measure to this degree reveals a worryingly inhuman approach to the field.

I would not want to discuss my health with a doctor who ranted like this about BMI being the most important measure of health we have. And I don't really want to learn about the psychological aspects of emotional health and human interaction from someone who rants this angrily over the transcendent value of reducing human mental capacity to a number, either.

Speech is not action and you can't decide if a particular idea is positive or negative without discussion in the first place.

Not random and not snide. It is the way the company founders describe themselves.
Easy response he could have made, but didn't:

"Not a common carrier - this page on our website describes exactly what protections are provided: <link>"
What does that even mean? You have to be a women in tech to have your opinion valued? Your statement is far worse than anything written in this manifesto.
The quote is mentioning success, rather in the sense of accomplishments not of financial worth. For example, I could be a billionaire and just hand my fortune to my children and someone with a high IQ might never reach that level of economic status. But comparing success in the sense of accomplishments, a high IQ person might have reached certain milestones, for example getting a PhD, maintaining a successful business, moving up to a higher socioeconomic status, etc.
>> These are companies like FedEx, UPS, or DHL, or the airlines themselves

The question that needs to be asked is "Is Airmule one of these companies, and are Airmule couriers authorized representatives of Airmule?".

The distinction is not that Airmule is a company that provides services in the manner of a common carrier. It's whether they're recognized as such by the government. This is probably done by filing papers in the US and in China. Then they could answer "We are a common carrier, license number XYZ. Users sign form ABC to become an official Airmail representative."

A slightly less important but still relevant question is whether operating a courier service using an airline which itself offers the same service is a violation of the airline's TOS.

It happens in the space industry too. I've never seen a dedicated career courier, but rather someone who worked on the project handles it. It's useful when the project is late and the person csn head out for the flight immediately without any shipping company time overhead.
It boggles the mind that we still have to (re-)explain one of the better understood medical discovery every few decades.

Vaccines have been experimented with since the 18th century, and formalized by Pasteur in the 1870s. We've had nearly 140 years of data on the subject, if there was something statistically significant we would know by now, no?

I believe antivax ideas are in some ways the result of vaccination being a victim of its own success: it just works, so there is no visible manifestation of its effect (no massive amount of sick people around), and because we are wired to look out for potential threats some people will zoom in on this odd practice of injecting people with dead viruses, and come up with all sorts of paranoid ideas. If you go to third world countries were mass vaccination is either recent or an ongoing process (and were people do know what happens when there is no vaccination) and try to take their kids' vaccines away from them because of some antivax delusion, they will kick your teeth in, no question.

This. In fact, at one of the last companies I was at, an agency of about 20, devs were grouped into small teams (1-5) to work on different projects. While we used Jira points - these internal teams had different measurements regarding point count.

When I brought it up to various PMs and execs, I got the same answer - "that's the way it's supposed to work."

And they used these point counts and burndowns to analyze performance of each dev in comparison with the rest of the team as a whole!

So if you estimated 1 point for your story, but some other dev estimated 5 for their story, and they are essentially the same tasks just on different projects - that developer is 5x as productive as you are by their record.
A corollary to this, though, is that UI's that cater to a well-written script and deliver the user into a story, which they enjoy manifesting over and over again, is a successful one.

There is a lot of room for creative metaphor in computer UI, in my opinion - however, I do also agree with your contention that its up to the user. I'm quite sure these complicated interfaces are good for, at the very least, one single user.
