The IQ distribution is normal by definition. Test scores are normalised to put them exactly on that curve. In order to say that the distribution is skewed you have to choose some other way of normalizing it that you think is "objective". (If you actually did this though, I think you would be correct. The best scientists and mathematicians aren't just twice as good as everyone else, they're hundreds of times as good. So the high intelligence tail is heavy, in some sense.)

I'm a working (college) educator. I see every day that success depends on many things.

For sure there are people who seem to take to subjects, to have a natural ability at it; for instance, I took to math. But hard work plays a very big role, a critical role, as well as things such as ability to focus, or whether you struggle with a problem such as an addiction or have bad luck and get in an accident or come down with a disease.

Intelligence, whatever that is, is necessary but nowhere near sufficient to succeed. We do the best we can when we help people work on what they can change rather than telling them they have a certain amount of g and that's it.

>stop if you need to

If you're on a 45mph road and someone puts themselves in your path 10 feet ahead, no, we don't say that you should have actually been going 5mph just in case something like this was going to happen. You're required to yield at crosswalks, but there's an expectation that mutual acknowledgement between you and the pedestrian happens at a reasonable distance before the pedestrian enters the roadway. Similarly, if someone enters an intersection on red, you have a duty to try and avoid the crash, but if it's too late, that's on them.
I've always thought the idea of trying to represent "intelligence" in all of its multi faceted glory with a single number is just plain silly.
And when you're dying on the sidewalk in front of the hospital, do you expect them to just let you die there and leave it to the county to dispose of the body? Like it or not it's unreasonable and inhumane to let capitalism condemn someone to a preventable death. Someone has to foot the bill for this. The only question is who and how. The naive answer is to let the hospital eat the loss but ultimately that just means that the rest of the patients pay it in increased costs. You can't sell yourself into slavery, you can't sell your organs, and you can't sign a contract to let the hospital ignore you dying on the sidewalk in front of the ER.

As with most things developmental, I think kids are very much molded by what is modeled for them. Generally this is by parents. If their parents teach them by example to work hard, be considerate of other people, don’t be afraid of trying out new ideas, and that taking educated risks are ok, then likely these kids will develop into someone who could be an entrepreneur. They still need a standard enducation and they still need working experience.

I completely agree, with mobile adoption, addons reach will be incredible and I want it to happen just like any other dev.

I will eventually monetize the app I build but won't go down the path of using Google's own addon platform. It will likely be InboxSDK as you point out.

The sad thing here is with InboxSDK being limited to Desktop but brilliantly feature rich, my adoption will be curved by desktop use only. I imagine businesses will be much more inclined to use Google's addon market place because the ease of deployment to users, rather than a Chrome extension etc.

What to you seems wrong with that extrapolation? As there's no real precedent to look at for cryptocurrencies, all we have at the moment is their short history to adjust our beliefs with. Is there some other view on the fundamentals of cryptos that you're incorporating in your thought process?

For a more pragmatic look on Bitcoin which i've been using see www.alfaquotes.com, they calculate fundamental value by dividing total cost of hardware and power needed to mine 6 months worth of bitcoin by the amount mined, so just the cost basis for miners.

I agree that Bitcoin has been superseded feature-wise by other cryptos, but seems to be a functioning e-gold right now.
pretty useful!
I would like to give my 2 cents on where I see any opportunity!

A newer quant will be incentivized to create an equity strategy because the data is available and the markets are liquid. Because the equity markets have been automated for so long, a lot of the inefficiencies and arbitrage opportunities have been leveraged. If a user were to come across an opportunity, it would most likely disappear quickly, which then can lead to your strategy hemorrhaging capital.

An alternative would be to secure data feeds and invest time in less heavily traded securities, trading liquidity for reduced competition. This becomes a much scarier idea, because you may not be able to exit your positions if they slide away from you. It would generally be hard to get the right to trade these securities without large amounts of capital or a big name behind you, but this is part of your advantage.
>Why does public transit increase travel times?

Because we don't all share an origin, destination, and schedule. Public transit can be extremely effective for the parts of the journey that it covers, but the extreme ineffectiveness of walking the other parts can cancel all that out. You have to completely rethink density and development patterns to get to a point where most origins and destinations are near stations. That would take decades even if we wanted to do it, and SB827 was just defeated in California. Then you have to run trains frequently enough that schedules don't matter. That's expensive as hell and the necessary capital projects take decades. And even if you do them, they might deteriorate and regress later if you don't keep up with the maintenance (see: New York).

When I lived in Berkeley, BART covered 90% of my commute distance, station to station, in 25 minutes. My actual end-to-end commute time was over an hour, basically a wash compared to taking an Uber over the Bay Bridge at rush hour. Bicycling to my local station got it down to maybe 50.

25 minutes is an entire commute the average American. Being just 1.5 miles away from a station doubled that. Public transit has a wickedly hard problem to solve - even 90% coverage is still next to useless.
The Guardian loves to blame everything on "capitalism", but the reason there are a lot of e.g. flights isn't so much capitalism as people liking to go places. Indeed capitalism provides the most practical mechanism for resolving things like carbon emissions: if we agreed a cap-and-trade system (like we previously did for sulphur dioxide emissions) then carbon impacts could be priced into the costs of things like flights. As the article says, individual and even national action is as good as futile - we need to act on an international scale, and markets are the only coordination mechanism that can work at that level.

Of course even zero emissions may not be enough, and it's good to see that getting acknowledgement - if we have a consensus that we're past the point where we could stop global warming by reducing emissions, then we can start looking at active measures to counteract it (i.e. geoengineering). It won't be easy, or cheap, or safe, but there are no safe options any more.

> I think it's worth it for companies to completely outsource maintenance to specialized companies.

This isn't any kind of panacea either. This works up until the contractor/contracting company goes out of business, decides they no longer want to work on "unsexy" products or get dropped because management hasn't a clue as to why they keep receiving invoices from a random company. I've seen variations of scenarios like these play out time and again. I think more companies need to realize that they are in fact now software companies in some shape or form, take ownership of their code and make the necessary personnel hires. The days of outsourcing everything IT are over.
Why would food prices increase. Framing is limited by the cold, so warming will open up more land. Not to mention that higher carbon has been shown to improve yields. I think food shortages are highly unlikely specially when you have global markets.

On a long road trip across the southwestern USA when I was a child, we went into a Mexican restaurant in Yuma, Arizona, where no-one spoke any English.

Fortunately, the owner's teenage daughter came home for lunch, and she spoke English, but she didn't know translations for what was on the menu. My mum asked her what she was having for lunch, and then asked for the same. The girl translated for her father, he grinned, and brought the best meal of the trip.

Unfortunately, we had no idea what it was called.

> "What is my expected gain if I try to employ an algorithmic trading strategy?"

The market is negative sum, so any abstract strategy has an expected excess return which is negative. It should be everyones assumption without competing evidence

Algorithmic strategies include such gems as "buy on mondays and sell on thursdays", and there is no inherent magic to them making them better than my "buying stocks with names I like".
The “autopilot” concept isn’t going to work at scale with cars. It’s either autonomous or it’s not.

As these accidents demonstrate drivers can’t be relied upon to ‘monitor’ the autopilot and react if something goes wrong. It’s a deeply flawed design concept from an otherwise very innovative company.
It's not really possible to improve public transport beyond a certain point without impacting parking and personal car transport.

If you want to improve buses, you need more of them, you need dedicated bus lanes, you need to give buses priority at intersections, and you need to modify road layouts in regards to things like one-way streets. All of these markedly improve quality of life for bus passengers, but also reduce the quality and convenience of personal car transport.

Similarly, if you need to expand a rail or subway network, you need a lot of roadworks and construction, which inconveniences drivers. For streetcars, you combine the impacts of bus and rail improvements.

Simply put, car drivers have been receiving preferential treatment in cities for far too long, and it's about time they were relegated to second-class transport, behind buses and rail.

So what tool would be used to extract the static information from the site conveniently? Or does it still need a running instance of Drupal to function? Cause that would still leave you vulnerable to Drupal exploits basically.
I'm not disputing anything you mentioned but I just thought I'd point out that, at least in my experience, Soundcloud has close to instant response streaming audio. Pick a new song it starts streaming immediately. Que a different time and it jumps to that part immediately. Looking in the devtools it's pretty clear they are sending lots of small packets of audio over websockets rather than using the browser's built in audio streaming features as most music sites do. Of course it probably still has the TCP issue if there is an error but in general it's way more responsive than other music sites I've used.
Lossiness is not the (whole) problem here. Bigger issue is the locale-dependence: in Turkish locale i->İ and ı->I, while in the rest of the world i->I.

Ask HN: Adsense Publishers, how will you comply with the GDPR?
I received an email from Google today with some new information how publishers can comply with GDPR. The Adsense relevant link: https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/7666366

The Gist for me is that even if you choose to show only non-Personalized Ads you still will have to ask for consent before because of:

Although these [non-Personalized] ads don’t use cookies for ad personalisation, they do use cookies to allow for frequency capping, aggregated ad reporting, and to combat fraud and abuse. Consent is therefore required to use cookies for those purposes from users in countries to which the ePrivacy Directive’s cookie provisions apply.

How do other Adsense Publisher plan to comply? Would only asking EU IP addresses for consent be ok? Is it allowed to dynamically load the Adsense block after a user has given consent or does the Adsense TOS requires to request a new page?
If you own a salvaged Tesla, you can’t get a single part (not even a screw or a little plastic bolt cover), you can’t use the supercharger, you can’t use AutoPilot, you can’t apply for any recall (not even government mandated ones) and the software diagnostics tool is paid by the hour.

There are several Youtube users that have salvaged a water-damaged Tesla by using the battery, engine and electronics from a crash-damaged Tesla using nothing but backyard engineering. Tesla doesn’t supply parts so they have to grab everything from donor vehicles.

Kind of. Likening Falun Gong v. China to USA v. Russia is misleading. Nation state conflicts are usually pretty mutli-dimensional. Economy, geopolitics, ideology, religion etc. The strife between the Falun Gong and China is limited to the issue of systematic murder and opression of their followers.
Furthermore the characterization of Falun Gong as a well defined organization with concrete political or ideological goals is in-line with CCP propaganda.

Say somebody calls out a Jewish publication for having an anti-Nazi stance. Surely, it's likely to be true at face value. Yet it's hard not to notice the insidiousness.

Unless sabalaba is willing to damage their business interest, their only choice is to remain silent or take a stance the CCP doesn't mind.

> doesn't invalidate LtoG

Yes it does. There is no limit to growth. Its an absurd notion. As long as we can produce more energy, there is absolute no limit to growth.

We have gigantic amounts of energy resources left. The Uranium and Thorium in the world alone could power all human energy need for 1000s of years with current technology. We have HUGE amounts of coal left, not to mention gas and oil. The sun is putting out huge amount of energy that we can use. That is all without considering things like space resources or fusion.

We already have the technology needed for unlimited amount of growth.

The same is true for everything else, we have enough land and food. Humans actually use less land over time. We easily have the ability to produce huge amounts of food and we can absolutely supply a massively growing population. We produce so much food that Brazil and US run whole fleets of cars with ethanol. There is large potential for GMO to increase yields. If you want to take it to the next level you can do true factory farming, the only reason we don't is because land is still so cheap.

After 200 years of people predicting limits to growth and population we should finally figure out that this whole narrative is simply wrong. Economists like Julian Simon spent their whole live showing this is true.
Regardless of the role fear/classism play, the average speed for American bus systems is in the vicinity of a brisk walk, and that's while you're in motion. Throw in a 15 minute headway and it becomes a hilariously poor option to someone who has alternatives.
I fully agree. I wish the "autopilot" would just be used passively, e.g. auto-braking when it spots something bad ahead, or some sort of warning if it notices the driver deviating from the lane (and maybe only active avoidance if that deviation means avoiding crashing into something in the other lane).

Random? Are you sure, presumably the algorithm for choosing the item can be anything the dev wants - for example hold back rare items for people more willing to spend to get them. They want to reward you just enough, no more, so as to get the maximum money out of you.
