Yes, but single-peaked preferences are a special case that apply here, and where the median is truthful.

(For those not familiar: single-peaked preferences assumes that the person always prefers the final rating to end up closer to their personal rating. So if I believe the restaurant is 3 stars, I'd most prefer it gets rated actually at 3 stars, and I'd rather see 2 stars than 1 star. If all the raters have single-peaked preferences, then using the median to produce the final rating is truthful: A person can't move the final rating closer to their own belief by lying. The mean is not truthful: If the current average is 4 and my rating is 3, I can pull the average closer to 3 by giving a 1-star review.)

> First off correlation != causation.

These are more powerful than the usual designs. For example, the correlation of intelligence with longevity survives a within-family sibling study which controls away all effects of family SES and shared environment https://academic.oup.com/ije/article/doi/10.1093/ije/dyx168/... You can also verify this using twin comparisons eg http://ije.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2015/07/24/ije.d... .

More importantly, because so much of the underlying genetics of intelligence has been found and are covered by the GWAS's polygenic scores, it is possible to compare with the genetics for scores or hundreds of other diseases and measures of health: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_correlation#Intelligen... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_correlation#Education The correlation is invariably negative: higher genetic potential for intelligence predicts lower disease and better health.

> If we need to edit multiple genes, genes that are also tied to other traits, that's what's driving the chance of side effect, not the increased intelligence.

Whether it is horizontal or vertical pleiotropy is irrelevant; it is irrelevant whether a particular SNP decreases risk of heart disease by increasing one's level of education so one knows to exercise regularly, or if it instead avoids a bad mutation which makes mitochondria slightly more inefficient thereby damaging the brain & heart. You want that SNP regardless of which causal pathway it is. If intelligence polygenic scores predict lower risk for disease and better health, then doing embryo selection or editing based on that will in fact do what it's supposed to.

Creating async tasks that can run concurrently and deliver progress via events is a concurrency model.

As I understand it, one of the causes of the death of Michael Brown was the civil unrest due to law enforcement malpractice. The city needed money so they heavily enforced lots of minor traffic laws to increase the revenue from court fines and traffic tickets.

That sort of thing cannot happen in a corrupt city because people would bribe the cops directly instead of paying or disputing traffic tickets, and the city government wouldn't see any of that money. Such a city wouldn't even try something like that.

It depends. It could be very useful for React/React Native, for one.
Everyone was offered the enhancements, but the protagonist's parents refused them because they were reactionary luddites. Then when their son was born, not only was he un-enhanced, but he had a severe heart defect that would probably kill him by 30. The parents are the bad guys in this scenario, not the society that offered them the tools to fix their kid and were refused.

It's like when modern parents refuse to vaccinate their children - if that kid gets Polio and is crippled for life, that doesn't mean we should abandon vaccinations because we're creating "an unvaccinated underclass". It just means that kid's parents were stupid and ruined their son's life.

>Well, I guess Jude Law's character couldn't live with the idea of being completely engineered for winning, and still losing.

Jude Law's character illustrates one of the flaws the movie has: It was made in the '90s, when our understanding of the power and scope of the influence of genetics was quite primitive. A genetically enhanced person would probably not only be a beautiful genius, but also highly resistant to depression, anxiety, mental illness and even low self-esteem.
That is parallelism, not concurrency.

Concurrency: two functions can run one after the other while they are non blocking for the callers (e.g. hyperthreading).

Parallelism: two functions can run at the same time (e.g. multiple processors).
You’re absolutely right. Integration with the whole ecosystem can provide real-time streaming SQL queries against not only open source databases MySQL, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB, but also (1) enterprise relational databases Oracle, Teradata, Microsoft SQL Server, and IBM DB2; (3) message buses including Kafka, AWS Kinesis, ActiveMQ/AMQP, IBM WebSphere MQ, and Teradata Listener; (3) natural streaming data including HTTP, web sockets, network sockets, and files; and (4) cloud data warehouses including Amazon Redshift and Snowflake.

Imagine, for example, writing a query that would join a Kafka stream against a Kinesis stream and enrich it with a database lookup. You'll find all of that today with SQLstream Blaze.

Insurances are not bets, not more than other commercial undertakings. They are, for the insured, hedges against bets. The bet is: I will not get sick with something that will ruin me financially. Or: My house will not burn down.
You pay a steady, comparably small (to the risk) amount of money. Still the total amount of money paid by everybody is bigger than the total amount of pay-outs.

In the case of these massive flooding, it's hard to make the pool big enough. That's why reinsurance companies exist, which can mix the risk pool of different types and locals.
While I think solutions like this are useful in some situations, I wonder how much non-human traffic and spam they might end up being responsible for.
I don't think this is the same argument that has been made hundreds of times. That argument is about the west. Here in the USA we could in theory train our coal miners to write software or build build bridges or do some other useful task.

China has way more people and much less ability to train them, but that is not 0 ability to train them. But Bangladesh... They are pretty fucked. This will cut them out of a huge swath of the economy they were participating in yesterday. You can't efficiently make roboticists in Bangladesh today.

EDIT - I also think complete automation is fundamentally different than performance enhancing tools. Clearly Bangladesh has sewing machines, but that is an entirely different price and profit category than a full blown sewing robot.

The main issue is that when problems crop up, you're less likely to get them checked out if you're uninsured. Even $100-200 is 15% of a monthly rent payment. Many people end up taking a "Better ignore the symptoms and hope they go away" approach, which is exactly the wrong thing to do.

I agree that "regular checkups" is a stretch, but think of it more like "on a regular basis, you need the ability to go see whether you have serious problems." We call that health insurance in the US, but it sucks for people who can't afford it.
It's a proper concurrency model, it's just not an efficient one when it comes to execution.

Concurrency has (at least) two components: design concurrency, execution concurrency. The event loop mechanism in JavaScript allows you to do effective concurrent design. It does not provide for concurrent execution. This is the primary distinction in academic CS between concurrency and parallelism.

I know the author is taking in the context of US colleges and I am from India but I do want to put the effect of the college in my life.

In my entire childhood, we have been very poor financially but my brother and I managed to get good grades throughout our school. That allowed us to study in reputed colleges in the country and therefore, enabled us to get high paying jobs. Just because of this advantage, I will always be grateful to colleges and education, in general.

And not to forget the indirect benefits like life long friendships, a good professional network among others.
> Math challenge: is there a way of combining the desirable properties mentioned in the post with the property of honesty? I suspect there is but I haven't tried it.

The suggested method seems to be asking for binary responses (like/dislike), then aggregating them with the confidence-bound formula. This should be truthful in, e.g., a model where users who like it want to maximize the score and users who dislike it want to minimize the score.

Of course not, and hopefully it will come to V8, but its mere existence does not preclude enhancing JavaScript, any more than the existence of PInvoke or JNI precludes enhancing .NET and Java.

When people say "JS shouldn't support feature X", when feature X is supported in every other serious language, I can't help but guess that their real problem is with JS itself, and they just don't think people should be using it at all. Fine, if that's their opinion, but they should come right out and say it.

You sound like an anarchist.

If you want to organize a group of people to use a public facility you need to request a permit. This is so that proper actions can be taken to make the event safe and to ensure that others have not planned access to that resource for that day.

The state can not refuse to give a permit because of the content of the protest or organization - that would be a rights violation. However, if the gathering becomes unruly and dangerous to the public then of course it can be broken up. You are now violating the rights of others and that's where your rights end.

Society and civilization does not survive in chaos.

My first thought would have been to connect the two PIs with a serial interface. Sure, that's another two pins to connect between camera and cartridge, but on the surface it still sounds easier than setting up a reliable ad-hock wifi. The fact that it would use magnitudes less energy is a bonus.

Of course it might be that OP evaluated that and decided against it for good reasons.

Your definition of concurrency is not correct. Concurrency usually implies that the work is chopped up into very small interleavable bits. A while function call with a loop of unbounded length being the default granule of interleaving is definitely not part of the definition of concurrency.

The term "concurrency" subsumes both event loop style concurrency and two-cores-running-code-at-the-same time concurrency.

The justification is that when you have an array of 100000 elements and split it into into isolated chunks that can be processed without any synchronisation and then marshall it into json and then actually do the computation and then marshall the result into a json string and marshall it back into a javascript array is very wasteful. Heck even when I'm passing immutable messages I'd still implement it via shared memory to avoid the wasteful marshalling step.

Bravo for your transparent and open approach to user feedback.

I also would prefer not to share bandwidth in this way without knowing, but as you described in another comment, I see there are real positive benefits when used ethically.

If .NET (using C#) can produce a native binary I'll switch to that for as many projects as I can. Currently I use C++, mostly to interface with the OS. I love the feel I get when working in C#. Everything is so nice and cozy.

Memory:
The memory usage "looks" bad. I suppose maybe GC would kick in when it needs to. It has not been a problem for me, but when you see the code in C++ taking 1MB ram and a C# implementation taking 10MB, well, you have to wonder.

Performance:
C# performs bounds checking, which I take it is a significant performance hit. I've not had this matter yet, but I've not converted everything over to .NET.
Sure, but that's cost of living. $100k/yr is needed in Silicon Valley just to cover your portion of rent for the above-garage apartment you share with 8 other people.
This is ridiculous. Not everything needs to be twisted into a slippery slope. This is not about "removing citizens that express differing opinions," it's about Google not wanting to fund people that criticize them. Is that good? No. Is it evil? I don't think so. They are free to criticize Google without benefiting from Google's money.
Because in practice it often doesn't work out that way. Republics and representative government, especially in their modern conception from the 18th century, were not simply a different way of appointing kings and their subsidiary advisors with broadly defined powers of "protection" over people under vassalage at their discretionary interpretation. Elections in most modern states don't confer that kind of supreme rule. It is the primacy of law, which constrains leaders from encroaching like that, and applied objectively to citizens in regards to their own rights and responsibilities that drives most countries you and I would probably say we'd like to live in.
What you're describing isn't too tangibly different from the Spartan ephors.
