Are you claiming that dutch people have genetic traces that lead to higher IQ?

Because a better education leads to higher IQ; so, if the Dutch people have higher IQs on average, it might be because of the better education.

Since no other comment explicitly spelled it out fully: Why don't people work nine hours in the USA?

The answer is very simple: Benefits, overtime, breaks, and other bits of labor law are written around an eight-hour day. This coerces employers and employees alike into preferring eight hours over seven or nine, simply as a matter of optimizing the business's need to pay out overtime with the employee's need to secure FTE benefits.

If there were such a thing as a 20hr work week in law, not defined as part-time with no benefits, but defined as part-time with partial or full benefits, then I imagine that everybody's tune would change quite quickly and we would end up multimodal, with one peak at four hrs/day and another at eight hrs/day.

I wonder if well-respected real-world code samples could be used as a training and testing set.

For example, one could use a subset of the Linux kernel source code as training, and another (unseen) subset as testing.

>In addition, blacks need to rein in their offensive and exclusionary 'hip-hop' culture in the NBA as it is making whites uncomfortable and reluctant to join or remain in the league.

Wow. You realize that you, or whoever you read or heard this from, has absolutely no evidence to back this up, right? Not to mention we're talking about passing up millions because someone played Future in the locker room, if there's a white dude that'd do that, I dunno what to say. But best of all is when you listen to white players in the league and how they've picked up black colloquialisms in the speech (listen to Dirk Nowitzski talk), or are rather comfortable doing shit like that time fucking Doug Collins and Jalen Rose were quoting "What happened to that boy?" by Baby and Clipse.

There's truth to this post but overall I think it's pretty naive.

In a capitalist system the world belongs to those who own and have spare capital to invest vs. those who rent.

Being very good at creating things is a potential pathway from renter to owner, but so is being very good at maintaining things, or managing people, etc. Anything which you can be paid a lot of money for will do.
Hello from Amherst/Nashua. Email me if you want to get a beer sometime.

I used to listen to NHPR a lot when I had a long commute one summer and would occasionally tune in. My biggest complaint isn't that NPR is too liberal, only that it is very surface-thought in its discussion of topics. Too often a story will raise what seem to be obvious and interesting (but maybe difficult) questions and the journalist or interviewer will just move on.

I dimly have one example in mind, a government agency (port authority?) in Oregon had millions in carbon credits (tax offsets) that it couldn't use, so it sold them to some other Oregon company for cheap to some corporation. Imagine its $5m tax credits that it sold for $1m. The company could then offset $5m of taxes. This was billed as a good deal for the port authority.

Of course as described it's really the state of Oregon losing $4m by selling the credit on the cheap, which seems totally insane. This was never discussed. I gave up after that story.
It’s pretty obvious, isn’t it?

The only meaningful thing to do in this world is to create, there is nothing else.

I would consider myself a progressive, and yet I find NPR to be a propaganda mouthpiece for the left. It seems that every other story is pushing some identity politics agenda with a puff piece for some liberal politician or a slam against some conservative politician, or a heart to heart interview with a transgender immigrant homeless playwright. I agree with the sentiment and the politics, but I disagree with the method, claiming lack of bias while clearly not being neutral. In fact during the last presidential campaign they went so far as to take up a Fox News style slogan, "No Slant, No Rant". They also decided to remove the comments section permanently when even the majority of liberal commenters were slamming Hillary, NPR's darling candidate.

I think the author point was about what would bring the greatest self-fullfillment. It's not necessarily money.

You could be an author or an artist or something else, and have far more fulfillment in life than making 10x working at a job that you're good at but that doesn't bring you as much fulfillment.
'btrfs subvolume snapshot <src> <dest>' is a writable snapshot; with -r flag it's read only. A Btrfs snapshot is a subvolume with stuff already in it, basically. In fact, all the inode numbers are initially identical in the original subvolume and the snapshot, and initially the snapshot is just a pointer. That's why they're cheap to create.

For most of Western history commoners lived to 28F/32M. Average age rose to around 40 by 1800 in France. I used to work for Futures Group in the early 90's (inherited Robert Tappan Morris's code) spending US taxpayer dollars on global demographic engineering. Human biomass is now way too high. Being fruitful multiplying is not such a great game plan anymore.

At my current job, we're looking into DIs to reduce our SQL costs. With standard Spot/RIs, we're paying per-core for SQL Server. But with a DI, we're expecting to be able to license against the physical sockets instead.

> You can use Dedicated Hosts and Dedicated instances to launch Amazon EC2 instances on physical servers that are dedicated for your use. Dedicated Instances are Amazon EC2 instances that run in a VPC on hardware that's dedicated to a single customer. You can also use Dedicated Hosts to launch Amazon EC2 instances on physical servers that are dedicated for your use.

> Dedicated instances may share hardware with other instances from the same AWS account that are not Dedicated instances.

> An important difference between a Dedicated Host and a Dedicated instance is that a Dedicated Host gives you additional visibility and control over how instances are placed on a physical server, and you can consistently deploy your instances to the same physical server over time.

It looks like you can launch DIs on your DHs, or on any arbitrary host; but once you have a DI on an arbitrary host, only your VMs will run there; so a de facto Affinity policy. And any instance you launch on your DH is automatically a DI.

Is there a benefit to running DIs without having a DH? It sounds like having a DI gives you 90% of a DH. The DH gives you is a few hardware details (which might be essential for licensing), and like GP suggested would let you choose Affinity (or Anti-Affinity) between them manually.

As a result, Dedicated Hosts enable you to use your existing server-bound software licenses like Windows Server and address corporate compliance and regulatory requirements.

This is the first I'm hearing about DHs, and it sounds like that might be what we need, instead of the DIs we've been telling other teams about.

I'm glad Hammer FS exist, it is always great to have options, and new filesystems have more to build on.

But this one seems weird to me:

snapshot by definition should be read-only, also ZFS allows to create a new filesystem from snapshot (through zfs clone) which is also O(1) operation.

A lot depends on your school and your teachers, but you can fight the tendency to push towards grades, and still keep your love of learning.

You might have to find the right teacher, or other mentor of some sort. And that might not be at your school -- that might be at another school, or a nearby college, or perhaps a local library. Or maybe even a local "maker space".

But you would be committing a crime against your future self if you didn't at least try to find ways to keep alive that love of learning.

Please know that there are a lot of adults who would be more than happy to try to help you find the right person or place where you can continue to pursue your love of learning in a constructive manner.

Heck, there might even be some other students who feel the same way you do, and your could start your own Pirate Science Club at school!

By no means am I saying I should of been accepted. I'm actually saying the opposite, I don't fit the mold and probably lack many things, but I rather look at it as a whole. The truth is the staff at YC lack blacks or Hispanics. And just recently started accepting Hispanics and black founders out of a current trend/topic for tech companies to accept diversity. If it wasn't brought up, would YC have made it a point to accept more blacks or Hispanics/woman now?

I think YC is great, but they don't get the fact that founders can have a horrible application or even look horrible on paper.

This is one of the biggest features that you appreciate a lot when you dont have it, and makes global apps incredibly easy. Softlayer has a similar network with default region peering but not as advanced.

Of course anything can be setup using custom VPN but this is a lot more work and will never be as easy, reliable, automated or cost effective.

That being said, AWS is rolling out automatic VPC peering, running on their own private backbones between regions so there should be functional parity soon, although with different price and performance compared to GCP.
Regarding satellite radio, it's not quite "no matter where". My car has Sirius XM and I like it, but when I'm driving through the forests of the Santa Cruz mountains, it cuts out so frequently that I just turn it off. But as long as the view to the sky is clear, it works great.

Fair enough, but I think it's a simplification of how life really works for most people.

For the average person, the choice to become a successful artist isn't a trade off between more money and more satisfaction. If they fail to become successful they will significantly lose out in terms of life's more basic needs, because they won't have enough money.

Before the iPhone, how prevalent were software updates to phones? I know of no one who ever got had an update.

There is absolutely no reason for carriers to need to do anything at all, else it would not make sense that I can change the SIM card out and voila I’m on a new carrier. The manufacturer is the one doing the testing, and the carrier simply provides the infrastructure.

I feel US perhaps has a different experience, because of their ridiculous CDMA infrastructure. Is it Verizon or what, where it’s not a SIM card but the phone itself that’s setup to a specific carrier?

Hmm. It seems more complex than that. The neighborhood-destroying infrastructure that's being dumped by rich neighborhoods onto poor neighborhoods (high density housing and public transit) appears to be turning them into green zones, not turning them darker red.

I agree, there's not nearly enough redistribution. Finding a way to raise taxes from wealthy longtime residents commensurate with the region's present needs would be a start. Relying primarily on newly sold homes (prop 13) and newly signed luxury apartment leases (BMR) to provide the necessary subsidy isn't working.

It would also be great if we could compel the suburban governments that sign on for the benefits of growth (office space) without the costs (housing) to direct some of the funds they raise this way to the municipalities that really need them.

I'm happy with my relationship with Apple and their products over the years.

I trust them to do the right thing, and they usually do - for my needs. Obviously many other people feel the same way too. I don't want to customize anything, I want things to work and work well. I don't want to be in the driver's seat, I want to be driven.

Your view of Apple and their relationship with their customers is very skewed. The same thing that seems to infuriate you is the thing that makes them so incredibly successful.
