I feel like this study published in july 2017 is very relevant: "Sex differences in brain size and general intelligence (g)"

link: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160289616...

Abstract
Utilizing MRI and cognitive tests data from the Human Connectome project (N = 900), sex differences in general intelligence (g) and molar brain characteristics were examined. Total brain volume, cortical surface area, and white and gray matter correlated 0.1–0.3 with g for both sexes, whereas cortical thickness and gray/white matter ratio showed less consistent associations with g. Males displayed higher scores on most of the brain characteristics, even after correcting for body size, and also scored approximately one fourth of a standard deviation higher on g. Mediation analyses and the Method of Correlated Vectors both indicated that the sex difference in g is mediated by general brain characteristics. Selecting a subsample of males and females who were matched on g further suggest that larger brains, on average, lead to higher g, whereas similar levels of g do not necessarily imply equal brain sizes.

Highlights
•
Sex differences in brain morphology and general intelligence were examined.

•
MRI and test data of the Human connectome project were used (N = 896)

•
Males and females differed in total brain size, gray, and white matter volumes

•
The male-female difference in general intelligence, g, was d = 0.25.

•
Sex differences in brain morphology mediated the sex difference in g.

In short, yes. You should look up the book which is cited in this video, and you should listen to the discussion of the prologue:

Since the human brain and its interaction with culture is very complicated, more research is needed. But a fair reading of what we have so far would seem to indicate: it's both.

Beware of ideological just-so stories that make you feel good. Also, if it sounds messy and complicated, it sounds like actual biology and psychology.

You're going to need some high octane evidence to compare adding new regulations that disproportionally help one industry, verses destroying the established works of the FCC, EPA, NOAA, the Bureau of Land Management/National Parks, the Department of Education... the list is literally too long for me to keep enumerating here, so take a look at articles like this one: https://www.bostonglobe.com/news/politics/2017/05/23/here-li...

I understand being upset at the Dems for stuff like the TPP, basically rolling over to Hollywood any time they ask for a copyright extension or more copyright enforcement powers, or even being soft on enforcement of any given regulation... but in general there's one party in America that wants regulation and structure and enforcement of existing laws... and one party in America that's currently actively working to remove as many government agencies and regulations that exist to protect the nation from Captialism Gone Wild, and as a staunch independent it's quite easy to see the difference.

I'm sorry, but this shit needs to end. This statement might have been closer to true in the earlier 2000's, but it couldn't be further from the truth in 2018. This "both sides" equivocation needs to be put to death.
Comcast advertises on broadcast TV all over the bay area "gigabit now available in your area". So I'd think penetration is pretty high now.

I wouldn't read too much into that. Here in Boston, the Verizon vans have sported "get FiOS now!" advertisements for more than a decade.

But FiOS is simply not available in most of the area.

There is a silver lining to all this for me: it shows that whereas women used to have little voice in the public sphere, "American women" as a class now have a sufficiently loud voice

There is nothing good about someone who has a "sufficiently loud voice" -- if that loudness comes not from principle and merit, but from emotional toxicity.

>Adrian Zenz, a German academic who has researched ethnic policy and the security state in China’s western province of Xinjiang, said the government craves omnipotence over a vast, complex and restive population.

This is short-sighted. The more rigidly a population is controlled, the less flexibility and creativity it can provide when things unexpectedly go wrong. And when all dissenting opinion is suppressed, the government after a while gets the illusion that everyone supports it when actually their is anger underneath waiting to burst out.

That is the great advantage of democracy. It is messy, but in the long term far more adaptive.

China defenders say total social control is the traditional Chinese way, but what we have today is not at all traditional. Under Confucianism, there was an elaborate set of rules that everyone knew and that everyone, including the top leadership, was obliged to follow. And everyone enforced it on everyone else, and that included that if the masses judged that the leadership was no longer following the rules, they had a right to overthrow it.

What you have nowadays with Xi Jinping is a highly secretive government that is making up the rules as it goes along, and is invulnerable to public inspection, much less judgement.

So the resolution is actually only about 10% higher than the Windows MR devices, which have a combined 2880x1440 resolution. And the Wireless Adapter isn't included in the Pro model, that's separate. The Windows MR headsets are all significantly cheaper than the Vive as well, and I find my HP headset to be quite a bit more comfortable than my Vive. Finally, the Windows MR headsets are compatible with Steam VR with an official plugin from Microsoft.

I mean, I will still probably buy it, but if you're looking for a decent headset now, it's already available.

Aside: I wonder what the Wireless Adapter entails, because both the Vive and the Windows MR headsets run on standard HDMI and USB 3.

> Why didn't Obama do a proper job if it's such an important issue?

To be clear, you're trying to blame Obama for something the Republican controlled Congress was responsible for? Obama wasn't a dictator; Congress decides what laws to pass and Congress wasn't exactly in favor of just about anything Obama wanted to do.

Also I think you're misunderstanding what Net Neutrality is about. Net Neutrality doesn't say that everyone pays the same regardless of what bandwidth they use - ISPs are free to charge more for more bandwidth usage. Net Neutrality says that ISPs can't rate discriminate based on the type of data shared. NN means that Comcast can't charge more for packets coming from foxnews.com as opposed to msnbc.com, but it doesn't say that they can't charge an end user that uses 5 GB more than one that uses 1 GB.
This is totally propaganda, they spamm those links without even reading the code. Florin is clearly putting lies to a part of the community to deflame the Iris via the slack golang chat.

Is this a healthy relation between an author of a popular software and a guy who never wrote a single line of code?

The thing that baffles me, though, is that you can take a $1.5M house and update it for much, much less than another $1.5M. Sure, it's annoying: it takes time, and you either have to pay for two residences or live with the dust and noise while the renovation is in progress. And finding reliable contractors in the bay area has been getting harder and harder given the level of demand there as well, but it seems crazy to ignore the ability to do even some simple, targeted renovation when you purchase a new home.

> I have no idea how it is of any strategic importance to our country

It is of strategic importance because Assad was about to start selling oil in another currency than the USD. The moment the USD stops being the main oil trade currency the monetary bubble will explode just as it did in the late 60s (after which the current petrodollar system was instituted) and america won't be able to run on printing money anymore.
> The active ingredient is not the plan, it is the desire to commit to the plan with all of your being... for years, forever.

All of your post is good but this is the most important bit (IMO). The biggest scam the weight loss industry ever pulled on Western civilisation was the redefinition of "diet" from "what you eat" to "a temporary change in what you eat". To maintain a healthy weight you have to monitor your weight, and what you're eating, and adjust the latter in response to the former, forever. It's not a thing with an end. It's how you have to live.
Note the dates and you'll see the truth, if you're a programmer you can also read the code, Iris doesn't even use the libraries the 1+ year old article claims to be used there.

You are removing branches, and adding slightly less clear code to do it. If this resulted in faster or cleaner code you would already be doing it. So the OP’s point holds: if these security holes are fixed at the CPU level, there will still be a generation of software compiled with these mitigation’s in and no way for a user on a newer CPU to disable them.

EDIT: I just wanted to clarify here that I did not mean “all branches” just some of them, hence the name of the technique which is “branchless security” (which is a really good piece of engineering). The frustration is basically we have to bake in CPU model specific mitigation’s into binaries. You can of course patch it out, but the affected CPUs will in theory be in the wild for a long time to come even once corrected ones are released.

I've wondered about the efficacy of the hemp versions. A friend of mine was using CBD oil to alleviate his daughter's seizures, and had told me that the hemp based ones were ineffective, and that THC in a small dose had a complementary effect.

> but I don't think it's an oversimplification to say that people against NN are against solving the problem

You think wrong. Actually, there's three levels of wrong here.

1. Not everybody thinks that government regulations are the best way to solve the problems, especially ones largely created by government regulations.

2. Not everybody thinks that this particular way of regulations that Obama's FCC took is the best way to solve the problem.

3. If people disagree with you about particular way of solving the problem, it doesn't mean they are for not solving the problem.

And, of course, most of the population wouldn't change their vote for Senator because of such niche issue, especially if the best argument here is "Comcast is the monopoly, NN wouldn't solve it but if you don't vote for NN it would be bad".

It's just not good science. Why assume "most shoveling done by men" when you could also have "women are rate limited by arms that are on average weaker" for instance? There are plenty of other ideas to float, too. As a sibling poster mentions, I'd like it if they'd gone out & done a bit of surveying on this (send undergrads on a walk to record observations or something).

What I don't understand is: why did it take so much effort to get to 30 supporters, when Democrats have 48 in the Senate? What are the other 18 Democratic Senators doing? Why are they not fully behind NN?

Typically courts will void the contract if there's a material misrepresentation or fraud in a contract:

https://thebusinessprofessor.com/knowledge-base/voidable-con...

In cases of fraud, the deceived party may also bring a tort, which is awarded in USD. But as for the actual contract, the court would rule that it never occurred, and so in the eyes of the law ownership of the ETH never changed hands.

It gets a little complicated with cryptocurrencies in that they effectively setup a separate ownership structure enforced by cryptography and independent of the laws of any one nation. So the court may rule that the Ethereum never changed hands and so still belongs to the original owner - but the blockchain says otherwise, and good luck convincing 51% of miners (many of whom are not U.S. citizens) that they should mine a transaction just to resolve this one case.
The mitigations are largely in code produced by the JIT. It's not hard to patch the JIT's codgen to back this out (perhaps even based on current CPU) if it becomes unnecessary. It would be nice if CPU architectures never had this fundamental vulnerability, but they do. So this seems like the best response for the reality we actually live in.
Competition lowers costs in most industries, especially in markets with a low barrier to entry. In 1956, fridge would have cost the equivalent of $3000[1]. Now, it's down to a few hundred of dollars, completely because competition spurred the creation of technological and manufacturing advances, driving the price down.

The issue here is that some industries, particularly industries with a high barrier to entry and low returns due to existing competition, are incredibly difficult to enter. The internet service provider industry happens to be one of those industries that form monopolies.

This is a great article on the subject and I like the clear explanation, with code examples on their fixes.

I don’t think I will ever forget the line “we cannot trust branches”, it’s just amazing that such a fundamental part of the CPU was broken here.

> Why didn't Obama do a proper job if it's such an important issue?

Obama was president while the Republicans held the legislature hostage. It was a miracle his administration was able to ask for and get any legislation passed at all; it was easily the most obstructionist congress ever. He couldn't even appoint a Supreme Court Justice because Mitch McConnell wouldn't allow congress to hold hearings - that's how impossible a situation he was in.

Obama did exactly as much as he was able to do with the powers he had. He wasn't about to try the kinds of stunts our current president thinks he can.

And speaking frankly, as a black person, I don't think he even could have tried to pull these kinds of stunts - he would have been impeached and booted, as any President pulling these kinds of fascist, dictatorial moves should be.
That is a damn fine font.

I grew up in an area where there were many millionaires. You would have been hard pressed to distinguish most of them from any blue collar worker they employed. They were all hard workers themselves, they generally drove vehicles no different to pretty much everyone else, they lived in houses much as most others in the area.

I went to school with their children and their wealth was not shown in any obvious way. We were all equal.

To maintain their wealth required long hours, hard work and generally being fair to everyone around them. Within the same area, we had people who didn't have the same level of wealth but considered themselves superior because they were lawyers, or bank managers or other professionals. These carried an air of distinction and superiority and many considered the "millionaires" as plebs.

One cannot generalise about any group based on some specific characteristic like money. Each of them is an individual and though some can and do take up airs, others do not. I have a son to whom I have lent money so that he can get ahead and he has always shown himself responsible, including paying me back. The way he is going, he will be a millionaire long before I am. I have another son to whom I will not lend any money to, as he has shown that he cannot handle the responsibility. They were both brought up the same way, only one took up the challenge to be financially proficient.

Different people will act and react in different ways and you cannot paint any group of people with the same brush.
