But IQ tests are affected by memory, quite a bit. Memory tests are in fact some of the best ways to measure intelligence, like backwards digit span. Unsurprisingly, the genetics of memory and IQ overlap as do lots of other cognitive traits (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_correlation#Intelligen...).

As with so many things, the answer is "it depends". How long will your code be around before it's scrapped or fully rewritten? Who will be maintaining and extending it? How much money will you have on hand to hire people to work on it? If it fails, what's at risk? Lives? Nest eggs? Blog posts?
It depends on the field. It basically is that way for some fields. Those fields are almost like pyramid schemes (not that the topics are worthless, but the economics behind the level of investment simply do not work). Clearly fields like computer science have all sorts of ways to directly use advanced skills outside of academia, but that's not the case always.

The research is still uncertain, and it may also depend on whether or not you do ICSI. When you do IVF though you need notarized signatures from both partners next to a dozen or so possible categories of birth defects where the child may have an increased risk, e.g.:

Coincidence and cognitive bias?

Perhaps you chose to search for the second company because you recently saw an ad for them or an article about them on your laptop or another device and simply don’t remember it.

Just think about all the things you read and search for online. Do you see ads for all of them? Do you remember every ad you see?

Everyone loves a good coincidence and looks for a reason why. Nothing wrong with that. But it’s a definite possibility.

The job market is not that efficient. Interviews don’t reliably identify the skilled and the unskilled, and the search process is inefficient for hirers and seekers.

Why not simultaneously ditch the weak proxy for capability and ditch the weak proxy for what working with them would be like all at the same time?

Instead, just work with them. Have them pair with 1 or 2 people for a few hours. Maybe even engage them in a small team meeting if one comes up naturally. There's no assessment as good as actually doing the things they'd be doing and working with the people they'd actually be working with.

It's a better, more accurate assessment in both directions. For them to want to join your team and for you to want to have them on it. Its also a ton easier to train your team how to execute this method effectively. The standard alternatives are spurious generally, and what little value can be derived from them requires well-prepared, expertly-trained assessors.

> If you want to advocate cryonics for the masses, think about what you would do if you had to live in a world with the reanimated masses of the 18th century.

Sounds like Riverworld. I think it could be quite interesting. But anyway, whether it's a potential mess or not is something for our future descendants to decide on.

Advocating cryonics today doesn't imply that our descendants, even if they have the technology, will accept the resurrection of masses. We have immigration laws today, I'm sure the same concept could be thought up for "people outside their own time", if it ever is an issue.

Porting software is fun and rewarding
The short answer is no.

We work differently than other similar products, in that we rely heavily on aggregation, both for presenting useful data in the UI and also to keep our backend scalable. We don't keep around particular aspects of individual requests. Individual requests are essentially only used as "data points" to build statistical models about your app/endpoints. For example, any SQL queries are parsed and sanitized on your server before they are sent to us[1].

That probably sounds more involved than it actually is in practice – you can see it for yourself on the dashboards for The Odin Project[2] and the Homebrew formula browser[3]. The bottom line is that there is no way to get from the aggregated data back to an individual request.

> I'm all for lowering inequality and spreading out wealth

I'd rather be for lowering inequality by spreading out the means of production, so people could be much more self reliant. This idea is called Distributism (the "Three acres and a cow" slogan of 1910) and stands in contrast to both capitalism and socialism. I see UBI as a demeaning form of help, that infantilises population and makes them state dependent, while self-reliance is based on one's own efforts and leads to better outcomes and increased self-esteem.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributism

This is a great short vid about local self-reliance and the relation of normal people to big corporations:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDw4dZLSDXg

Remember, if big corporations won't give people jobs any more, we always have one job left - taking care of ourselves directly. Self-reliance is a virtue, UBI is the opposite of that.

We're headed in a technological direction that will empower self-reliance more and more in the future. By using solar energy, 3d-printing, agro-bots, community ISPs, credit co-ops, and automation in all forms, a small community could become self-reliant without backbreaking work. A social-network of skilled people (gigs) would replace regular jobs. We just need to keep these technologies very accessible and to help people develop solutions.

Self-reliance is connected to the startup economy, the bootstrapping mindset, the anti-trust doctrine and creativity. It's the way to a good life without the perils of financial redistribution.

> And .. guile emacs hopefully one day

I'm hoping for a Common Lisp emacs, myself. Scheme as specified just isn't a big enough language, and if you pick one of the better implementations (e.g. Racket, which is awesome), then it's not really Scheme anymore (e.g. Racket, which is really its own language by now).
Had one of these at our office. I used it as a remote worker on a team across the country. Few things - the author's wish list is out of date. Mine I could drive into a dock and it would charge the whole thing and the iPad. The device is great, and did improve my telepresence significantly.

That said, the problem was consistently that the double robotics website you must run it through was consistently either down or had such poor bandwidth I couldn't use it. I wish I could take everything about this device, and host it in the office. It got to be near unusable most of the time, and we just switched back to webex. Expensive experiment.

Actually we do. Lots of online resources council new ict startup entrants not to be seduced by vesting, try to point out the huge downside potential risks. The small group of people who do hunt it, are quite distinct from the people who enter sport for huge short term up front money with inadequate skills to manage it. YC isn't combing high school and college touring cash now for brilliant ideas.
There are many variables to this. I believe politics/economics, culture and religion do have their fair share of weight. For example communist countries, which have been ideologically opposite to religion, provided higher education to women, compulsory even. On the other hand I've read that in Nazi Germany women were also given quite a lot of rights and work responsibilities.

I just yesterday searched github to investigate female employers of the likes of google and microsoft. A significant amount of them were Chinese or Indian. It's really about how much resources a country invests in free (university level) education.

Settlement isn't an indication that both parties were unsure of the outcome of the trial; trials are never certain things.

Settlement is the most common way civil litigation disputes are resolved. Trials are the anomaly.

I think you're both wrong.

First, population is about to plateau regardless of fertility studies. Secondly, current quality of life trends do not prove or disprove APs point about sustainability. Thirdly, evidence we have too many humans is certainly not limited to these current trends and their direction.

There is a wealth of evidence we have too many humans. Not too many for the planet to sustain. But far too many for the planet to sustain at our current and continued levels of consumption.

You can expect to find short term contracts for 2-3x the hourly rate you would get at a regular job. They can be difficult to find on your own though and it's generally easier to work with a recruiter.

In my experience, you are more likely to end up with a bad commute on one of these contracts than you would with a full time job. And if you let your savings run too low you might end up taking a not so great contract out of desperation.

Beside that, all the upsides you mention are certainly amazing :) I don't miss full time employment at all.
Getting down to the nitty-gritty of reduplication
I think we're talking past each other at this point. I want security both globally and locally. I want to be able to tell my browser who it should trust and what level of paranoid it should be in each context. If I go through the work of recompiling a bunch of software with custom trust anchors, I don't want it to all be for naught because in the last mile my browser says "I'm lost I only understand global TLS".

I LOVE the idea of NAT-less global internet. It's why I love IPv6. At that level anything that wants to participate should be secure and "go Chrome" for leading the charge. I even think firewalls for global IPv6 are stupid. If you're global you're global no amount of silly packet filtering rules is gonna change that.

But that's not the end all. I don't want my entire house to stop working because I got a new ISP and I have a few days of down time. Or more like because my ISP went down because they oversell bandwidth and haven't updated their routing hardware in 15 years. Maybe I don't want my file server with all my family photos globally addressable. Maybe I don't want my kids on the global internet at certain times. The point is I know what's best for my house. Im sick of the old IPv4 mindset where the only reasonable model is centralized global trust (see we agree that's been the status quo).
It's basically 10x what Mailgun charges, which is pretty reasonable overhead imo. $10 to send 1,000 email notifications to your team is peanuts. People will 100% pay that.
I can't answer for the grandparent, but it's not an uncommon situation in the eastern Washington/northern Idaho area. Much of it is rural enough that there's very little reason to be on many roads unless it's a delivery driver or something illegal. They're not roads you'd even end up on if lost -- it's a deliberate choice.
I started casually researching cryonics after reading the WaitButWhy article on it https://waitbutwhy.com/2016/03/cryonics.html and I'm recently leaning towards more towards a "why not?" mindset but I'm not yet fully convinced.

The purely logical, rational side of me wants to say "why should I make an assumption that 21st century norms about the inevitability of death will hold true or are even valid at all?" so I should just do the least presumptuous thing and get frozen.

But on the other hand, what does the quality of life look like for a 21st century human reanimated in 2300 or 2500 or whatever? If history (or Black Mirror) tells us anything, at best, I'll live out my immortal life as some sick museum exhibit/circus curiosity, with no possibility of the kind embrace of death unless some rebellious young person happens to take pity on me.

But that's also assuming humans keep on being Sapiens and don't transcend their present biology/mindset.

But then, of course, how lonely is it to live in a world where I'm one of the last humans tethered to my un-enhanced, primitive biology?

And so on...
To this Making them sign away control of their money sounds like a new version of the old story of infantilizing black people by removing their adult rights, "for their own good". Yes, that's certainly a dimension. And it works in Australia too, where aboriginal workers had their cash both sequestrated and then stolen.

In my defence, weak though it is, there was no moment I actually intended to refer to specifically black sportspeople. If more black people in sports in America are financially uneducated, the bias in outcome would be there. I am pretty sure immature spending behaviour is colourblind and in all seriousness I meant this across race and culture: I think huge cash incentives for young people should be constrained to last. I'm not a libertarian.

I don't find that a consistent representation of your statements:

"Is having a conversation a chemical addiction?"

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16343850

"My point is, dopamine is addictive."

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16344356

This means your argument isn't over whether or not social media (or other dopaminagenic activities) are or aren't addictive. You've conceded that point. Which ryandrake had expressly rejected another two posts up:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16342034

The question is whether or not they ought be regulated in some way.

I'd also focus far less on the specific mechanism (though gambling, drugs, social interactions, and A/B-tested sticky-on-page highly-habit-forming social media all do, as you've explicitly stated, rely on the same chemical mechanism), and instead, in the resultant behaviours.

I'm well aware that etymologies are neither clinical diagnostic tools nor necessary indications of present use. I still find them interesting in informing a discussion. And the etymology of "addiction" is a case in point:

c. 1600, "tendency, inclination, penchant" (a less severe sense now obsolete); 1640s as "state of being (self)-addicted" to a habit, pursuit, etc., from Latin addictionem (nominative addictio) "an awarding, a delivering up," noun of action from past participle stem of addicere "to deliver, award; devote, consecrate, sacrifice" (see addict (v.)). In the sense "compulsion and need to take a drug as a result of prior use of it" from 1906, in reference to opium (there is an isolated instance from 1779 with reference to tobacco).

Planetside 2 was horrendously single-threaded, so anything but recent Intel chips would leave you with really bad performance in large battles. I would often max out my AMD CPU (well, one core of it) at around 12 FPS without my graphics card breaking a sweat in 100-200 player battles.

PS2 was for the most part an amazing game. The graphics were truly beautiful and the gameplay was very fun. Unfortunately, their shitty performance basically killed the game by making it unplayable for many users during the trademark huge battles.
I became aware of this first in Japanese and hadn't really thought about it in English or other languages. Makes sense that it would be a more general feature of language than specific to any single one.

No, Uber wasn't likely to settle for more, monetarily. The manner in which damages are fixed for trade secret and patent infringement make the total damages difficult to assess until the product goes to market. Google would be hard pressed to show actual loss, so Uber would likely be hit with some disgorgement stemming from unjust enrichment with some injunctive relief on the side.

What did they get? Unjust Enrichment sized damages and mutually agreed forbearance equivalent to injunctive relief.

And that's before we get into discussing how much of a minefield discovery was becoming in the case.
where do I apply?
I agree that working with the candidate is the greatest signal for competence and team fit.

My concern is that oftentimes, there's a lot of context to absorb before being able to contribute, and a few hours wouldn't be enough. Don't want to extend interviews to multiple days --> biases against candidates that have packed interview schedules.

I'm thinking we could structure a problem to take a few hours, and pair program with them, with the interviewers swapping out every hour and half (which would also help test how well the candidate brings someone who doesn't have context, up to speed).

Or perhaps, have multiple candidates work together to solve a problem, and observe how they work together.
