Mendelian ponies could have a single gene with 3 alleles, E/U/P, with EE, EU and EP earth, UU and PP respectively unicorn and pegasus and UP either unicorn or pegasus at random (i.e. depending on other genes). If the two parents are EU and EP they are earth but offspring of all three types is possible.
An even simpler model: one gene with two alleles, earth and fancy, earth dominant, fancy ponies become unicorns or pegasi depending on rainbow intensity or other non-genetic factors.

In the Dune case a very Mendelian concern with preserving a few important mutations in very narrow bloodlines could be combined with a secondary requirement for high IQ, physical fitness etc. that could be (inefficiently) satisfied by focusing on "well bred" aristocracy that benefits from marrying genetically far above average people.

Fair enough, I was thinking people might average more power and you might use someone outside Australia. On the other hand you need to pay for equipment so ~3W/$ may be more accurate but being generous does not change things much.

Anyway ~20$ /h * 24 h a day * 1 million people / -123 MW (Tesla capacity) = ~3,900,000 $ / MWh which is closer than I thought it would be.

JFC, none of these advertisements or the premise of their facebook groups are persuasive, and not nearly to the point that one could chalk up the Trump victory to a victory for some kind of psychological propaganda maneuver with Facebook at its core.

I doubt that this is ALL of everything, but the undercurrent of tone deaf efforts to play agent provocateur are underwhelming. I look at this, whatever it’s supposed to be, and I think about people on the fence about how to cast their vote, and this doesn’t look like it would move the needle.

There are two possibilities, either this is not representative of Russian Facebook propaganda to tip the scale for a Trump victory, and what ever really happened might be more believable.

Or, this is exactly what it claims to be, and we go on believing the narrative that gets shovelled down our throats.

If this is what Russian subterfuge actually looks like, then Trump is in office for other reasons.

Performance aside, also consider Ramda.js

Although Ramda has forEach, I augment it with a version of each(func, data) where data can be an array or map, and func(val, key) where key is the key of the map item, or the index of the item in the array.

I feel this abuse of notation makes for more readable / smaller / uniform code [ having no explicit for loops ]. Also takes less conceptual space.

I think you seriously overestimate how unbiased you are.

I say this because you talk as if it's easy to separate fact from fiction these days. If you think it's easy, then I think there are some very important things you're missing.
Not mentioned here, but worth considering: Lodash's forEach works on "array-likes" not just proper Arrays.

It works on `arguments`, it works on strings (iterating through characters), it works on objects (passing the key as the iteratee's second parameter in place of an index value), it works on HTMLCollection pseudo-arrays. It also doesn't throw on null or undefined.

It's time to admit that we can't fix web security anymore, and that we should just start anew. XSS, SQLi, cross origin flaws, etc. There are just too many vectors for a human developer to make a correct implementation.
This is really a pretty fascinating example of psyops in the wild. Propaganda for both "tribes" assembled in opposition over various issues in order to sow more division between them. Imagery clearly designed to influence with emotion, twisting the dials of fear, anger and pride in the audience.

The power to disseminate information (or disinformation) is not one that should be taken lightly. It seems that most of the human race was deployed to production with a pretty critical RCE vulnerability, and the patches available (education in its various forms) do not appear to be sufficient to protect the whole system from corruption.

At least under capitalism as we know it, no one workplace can supply the meaning of your life. You could have a personal mission for what you want to do with your professional life. But in any workplace, you and your employer are only committed to each other as long as it's economically advantageous.

Run away from any CEO who says something like "we're a family". Your family is committed to you no matter how economically valuable you are. That's not how it is at the workplace. And you probably don't want it to be any other way.

Thiel goes even further and says that he wants a cult? Maybe that works out if you happen to be CEO and also have a callous disregard for your employees' health.

In terms of deriving belonging from projects: I think there are things to learn here from Fred Turner, who has examined how Silicon Valley culture interacts with Burning Man culture. I'm not saying Burning Man is good or even better, but it offers a contrast between voluntary/amateur communities and professional workplaces.

https://logicmag.io/03-dont-be-evil/

Quote:

"At Burning Man, what you’re rehearsing is project-based collaborative labor. Engineers flowing in
from the Valley are literally acting out the social structures on which Valley engineering depends. But they can do something at Burning Man that they can't do in the Valley: they can own the project. They can experience total “flow” with a team of their own choosing. In the desert, in weirdly perfect conditions, they can do what the firm promises them but can’t quite deliver."

I'm accepting that the bootcamp is legally required to provide an interpreter. I'm questioning whether or not that requirement is a 'reasonable' accommodation. The bootcamp probably graduates around 60 people per year, this is the first deaf applicant they have likely ever had.

It may be reasonable for large institutions to have dedicated personnel for less than one percent of their customers given that their customer base is so large. That calculation becomes financially unworkable in smaller organizations.

The fact that you resort to ad-hominem without addressing the example is telling. It terrifies me that people endorse the de-facto destruction of a commons just because a tiny fraction of the population can't use it.

EDIT:
Some have pointed out that saying an argument is disgusting is not ad-homanim. This is correct, and I was wrong to use it in that way. However, I stand by the second part of the last paragraph.

> The data is encrypted with Github's private key (thus decrypted with their public cert).

I don't think that's how it works, because then anyone could decrypt the data since the decryption key is public.

Rather, I think how asymmetric crypto works is you pass your public key to them so they can encrypt stuff with it and send it to you to decrypt with your private key. Then, to send stuff to them, you use their public key to encrypt the data for them so they can decrypt with their private key. That said, I think TLS works differently by using asymmetric crypto only to negotiate a symmetric key for the actual encryption of data.

Perhaps part of the problem is that exact "coasting" mentality that you mention. Autoplay disincentivizes users to seek out their own content, which would help build the skills which are useful for finding new, interesting information on the internet.

The deeper philosophical question seems to be whether it's more desirable for people to have the skills to control their own education or whether it's more desirable to optimize tools for bringing educational resources to people. You can go a bit deeper than that and ask whether it's more desirable to have a population of independent thinkers or like-minded thinkers. We'd probably be better off with a bit of both.

I prefer to frame these kinds of arguments in terms of educational materials, which you can kinda loosely call most forms of media.

In case you are wondering, this technique probably doesn't work against security-hardened chips. But other might, like what nation-states can afford.

"More security-focused mircocontrollers like the ones used in hardware security modules (HSM) to store encryption keys, trusted platform modules (TPM), and SIM-cards have have hardened chipsets to make these invasive attacks more challenging, Davidov said. They have countermeasures such as protective shielding and an active mesh layer to detect when a trace has been cut. Light sensors, when tripped, could automatically destroy all stored secrets if the chip powered on after the molding component was removed. While there are ways to bypass these features, they require extremely specialized equipment and 'significant investment.'"[1]

It seems to be the most performant out of the methods tested.
You comment seems to suggest there is some rational decision making emerging from an open back-n-forth of facts and ideas.

I wish that were the case, but the simplest explanation of political reality both in AUS and USA is that our leaders owe favors to a few very rich people, in fact work for them.
"Cultural fit" means something like "shares our values". That's something like:

conservative compliance vs. going right to the edge of the law

meticulous design and testing vs. move fast and break things

command-and-control vs. self-organization

IM vs. voice calls

9-5 vs. flexible hours blurring work and non-work time

likes the same kind of music as me vs. doesn't

Some of those seem okay to me to consider, and others don't. I don't see a bright line. I'd tend to agree that "cultural fit" with no further explanation tends to mean something bad.
If there's one thing pretty constant in human history, it's that we do terrible things to each other. Always need to be on guard for this. But don't overlook the good we do. We (the United States) did end slavery, and then segregation, at a huge and bloody cost.
> so that carriers could block spoofed calls from overseas without fear of liability

I don't really want my carrier deciding what calls to block. I just want them to ensure the veracity of caller ID data so that I can perform useful blocking at my end. There shouldn't be anything stopping them from removing fraudulent and unverifiable caller ID info from the calls they route my way. That leaves me free to block calls that lack caller ID info, and I'm assuming all the risks that entails.

I haven't had a chance to dig through the code yet, but some of these results seem a bit off, especially surrounding the for loop.

For example, here are the results for the for loop 'reduce' on the small data set:

100 items - 0.030

500 items - 0.574

1000 items - 0.074

That doesn't make sense to me. How can a reduce on 1000 items be drastically less than on 500 items. Unless I'm misunderstanding something, I can only conclude that it's either A) a typo or B) they only ran this test once and the random data for the 500 test was exceptionally tough to deal with.

Either way, I would love a little more detail with the data before I trust it.
When there are only 4 carriers in the US, it doesn't really matter. AT&T will lose a customer to Sprint, Sprint loses one to T-Mobile, T-Mobile loses one to Verizon, and Verizon loses one to AT&T. No one is getting rid of their cell phones.
