> “If you did a study like ours 100 years ago, the strongest genetic predictor of education would be how many X chromosomes you had, because society was set up in a way that it was much harder for women to get educated than men,” says Benjamin. Likewise, many of the genes that are associated with education today are likely important “because of how today’s educational system is set up. It requires people to sit at desks for hours, and listen to instructions from a teacher. People who get restless, or are less obedient to authority, will fare less well in that environment.”

Cannabis dosing is so particular to the specific tolerance level, brain chemistry, and body mass of an individual, that it's impossible to give any kind of general advice. Especially given the massive variation among products, even if they list the same milligram dosages.

>You are using a definition of genetic causation that is not used by anyone in the field of genetics.

That's worrying.

>It sounds like your definition is "Is there any hypothetical environment where the phenotypic expression of a gene could be changed?" The answer is almost always yes.

Sure but we don't even need a hypothetical environment where high school basketball practice is state-mandated, we just need any hypothetical environment where John and Jim both go to basketball practice and their genes stay the same to see that what is labeled as genetic causation is actually environmental. I mean are you telling me the entire field has no way to distinguish a skill->environment->skill feedback effect from a genes->skill effect?

I'd say that genes seem essentialist, they're something that defines you and can't be changed but environment isn't that way, it's malleable and can be changed. So take this example, we're gonna say at least 11% of IQ is genetic, right? But if we pass some laws so that we have better teachers and smaller class sizes and better remedial programs then what IQ is only 8% genetic? Or even in the case that the laws help the top more and IQ expands to 14% genetic. In that case it doesn't seem that our measurements of genetics effects were accurately measuring the genetics at all, just environmental effects that are hard to account for.

>You could see how using a definition is both incredibly restrictive as well as almost impossible to measure, and therefore not a very useful definition.

Yes, I agree that what I'm saying would make genetic causation very difficult to measure. But it's also the truth about what genetic causation is. Instead we're just opting for what is easy to measure and labeling it as the thing that is hard to measure. That's not right.
I sense you're being tongue-in-cheek, but how would something like blockchain help this situation? (I genuinely don't understand -- can you walk me through how that tech would validate a video's authenticity?)

Second, it would only help to validate that a video was taken (and possibly that it was not modified? But I suspect a great deal of video footage gets modified after capture, for light balancing and whatnot.)

Beyond that, however, the problem is larger: videos can be started after a person incites another. They can selectively film parts of an incident, so you miss details off-camera. They miss context, can push an agenda -- all of which are (IMO) the bigger problems than validating a video provenance. (Also, the latter would require skepticism of all non-blockchain'd videos -- something that would take a major cultural shift.)
(Closer to 20%, and the attenuation of 85% is about what you would expect; we already know that that's the usual level of decrease when you test PGSes in AAs, and it goes to near-zero in African populations. It looks like it's not an issue of entirely different causal variants or different environments, but mostly LD tagging decay.)

>> You would expect to see average wages decrease as companies hire less experienced, less productive workers who are just starting new jobs.

In a truly booming economy people, bodies, matter more than skills. Skills can be trained after employment. I would expect companies to be paying more regardless of background. Any lesser pay for new people would/should be balanced by greater pay to retain trained people. None of that is happening. Wages are up a tick here and there, but not substantially. It will be booming when I see wages growing as a percentage of profits, when companies start tightening profit margins to retain people.

Aside from being small, Xv6 is a normal OS. MINIX was designed to chase the gravely ill-advised microkernel fad that took over academia. You can lump Xv6 in with Linux and BSD, while lumping MINIX in with GNU HURD. The trouble is that glue isn't free: breaking an OS down into simple parts doesn't make the OS simple; the resulting interactions between simple parts become complex.

Xv6 is also written in a more modern coding style, using stuff like C99 initializers. It runs on modern hardware, even supporting SMP.
People in the 70's were also being poisoned.

I can see why people would want to ratchet down on the rhetoric because words like "poison" make people think that someone is culpable and can be held accountable.

I'm certain that there is a class of people in this country that wouldn't want that.
> Observational studies of this type cannot show causality

They can: sibling comparisons.

They're tested out of sample many times (4 for sibling comparisons alone!), and you can find many other papers successfully using the IQ GWASes. Belsky et al 2018 just came out a few weeks ago, for a particularly good example testing OP's PGS. (The PGS has been out since like March, so several papers have used it.)

Another potential use of blockchain technology. When an image is first captured, the time and a fingerprint generated from it will be recorded in a public blockchain that can't be tampered with.

This isn't rude at all. He was describing a situation in the Linux community where a large number of users have an aversion to paid software.

It's a real problem and one of the main reason osx was able to eclipse desktop software usage on linux in such a short amount of time.

Responses like yours are the real problem.

If you want linux desktop software to grow, there needs to be room for proprietary software.

The solution is to cut K-12 to K-8, and teach modern college courses in 9-12 instead of wasting time there to "prepare." Dual-track 9-12 so that one track is the equivalent of full college, and another is the equivalent of vocational school/community college. College can be what graduate school is now, and graduate school can go back to being genuinely faculty-track.

NPR had a piece a few months ago about suicide rates up in farmers https://www.npr.org/2018/05/16/611727777/suicide-is-rising-a...

If global warming continues I predict more suicides globally from small-farm operators (especially in '3rd world' countries) and as it continues to worsen theft from farms and eventually military conflicts based on both food and water.

It's not just a food issue either, as I wrote in a recent blog post it's also a water issue... aquifers are being hammered faster than they can replenish... https://www.ryanmercer.com/ryansthoughts/2018/7/8/tackling-t...

Your virus is on a machine in the network, therefore you're in the network. At that point, it is a matter of exploring the network, fingerprinting systems, scraping for exploits, and attempting intrusions. Or, waiting until an administrator does something silly like attempt to use their privileges on the machine to accomplish some task. I believe this was exactly how the Sony hack was conducted.

Edit: Also, at some point the employee will be reissued a new key fob for the "broken" one and at that point they will enter their credentials into the network again on that machine giving you access.

Edit 2: I guess a procedure that could prevent this is to require I.T. check the serial number of a fob that has been reported as "broken" thereby verifying there hasn't been a potential intrusion.
To my knowledge, in the Netherlands and Luxembourg there is a similar situation to the one you described in Sweden, Denmark and Norway.

In Portugal you get a fellowship that covers tuition and a monthly stipend which was increased for the first time in 15 years (by 1.4%) last year. PhD fellows are not considered employees of the University and since the stipend is not really a salary you are stuck in a weird financial situation.

Despite all this, it is enough to live (around 1000 Eur) in most of the country except for the capital (due to house/rent prices have been increasing for the past 2 years at galloping rate), which is where a great number PhD granting institutions are located.

Not to pile up, I've also discovered that you can be granted a PhD fellowship for a project at an host institution that is under equipped (if has any equipment at all) for that project.

You're misunderstanding the articles. Tesla isn't looking to recover funds for failed deliverables, it's looking for a post-dated discount, retroactive to the original contract dates (as far back as 2016).

If Tesla had issues with suppliers previously, the proper venue would have been to withhold payments (interim payments or the final payment) pursuant to the terms of the supply contract, not send a memo asking for a refund after the fact.
Depends on the exact attack. If its a full MITM (including TLS), no. If its a fake website who don't forward after password-based authentication, yes. U2F would also detect the domain is incorrect, though so does my password manager. Though that's based on a browser extension. I suppose if the browser gets mislead, as would the password manager. And that did happen with LastPass (XSS attack IIRC).
I actually find this article to be sickening, and not for the author's intended purpose. To be fair, I feel the same way every time I see an article saying that some other city has it just as bad if not worse than Flint.

It's important to note every incident where someone is being poisoned with anything we know to be toxic, sure. They all need to be cleaned up. But all I see when I read articles like this is "it's going on everywhere, all the time, so stop worrying". No one is saying these children need medical treatment, that's a false argument. People are saying they need clean water. Arguing any other way is just misleading. And comparing it to other cases of lead pollution like exhaust or paint is again a stupid argument because we banned lead in gas and paint. Those problems aren't solved, but at least they're not getting worse. Meanwhile the Flint water situation was caused directly by the government, who then covered it up until they had to take action. And then still refuse to fix the problem.

It's like if the government wanted to save money so instead of buying new paint for their buildings, they came into your house and pulled the latex paint off your walls. You still have paint on your walls, but it's the lead paint that the latex was covering. It was a contained problem, but now due to actions outside your control, it is suddenly a a problem again and you're expected to fix it. That's what's bullshit about it.

It's like hearing someone say "black lives matter" and someone else steps in and says "all lives matter". Well yes, that's true. But there's a reason people are specifically calling out Flint, and that's because it's a problem caused by the government that now the people impacted are expected to clean up, without having any means to actually perform the work that needs to be done. A mere statement of fact does not begin to describe the situation. It's a matter of principle, of morals.

They weren't "poisoned" and it's just as bad in other places, sure. Now can we fix the damn problem already? Or do you just want to keep making excuses?
Just to offer a bit of a counter to much of the negative views here, I enjoyed my Ph.D very much. I went into it with my eyes open, and realizing that an academic career wasn't the only option that would work for me.

Through scholarships I was paid enough to be comfortable while spending my time on interesting things. The scholarship game is a bit winner-take-all though, and I know the minimum funding level in my department was less than 1/2 of what some of us were making, and that was in a STEM department - my understanding is humanities are a very different thing. You have to decide what is ok for you.

Afterwards I did a post-doc and then a research position. Through a national fellowship (post-doc) and funding guarantees (faculty) I knew I would be able to make something like the low end of what my industry salary would be - and easily chose the academic freedom at least for a few years.

When I was on the academic market, I didn't find a tenure track position I felt was the right fit. Rather than play the waiting game some of my colleagues were doing, and I realized that "any R1 that will take you" wasn't going to make me happy. So I chose to turn down the offers and go to industry. That's also had it's ups and downs.

I guess my point is there where many steps along that path I took a good look at my options and chose to stay. Sure, I could have made a bit more money in some industries, but there are other considerations. I've never worked with a more talented or motivated group of people than I did during graduate and post-doc work. I've never had the time since to just dig into an interesting problem or really swing for the fences. I'm sure it cost me a bit in terms of lifetime earnings, but it's a trade-off I'd make again in a heartbeat. I'm sure I would have been happy teaching somewhere if the parameters had been slightly different, but I'm ok with that too.

What I really don't understand is people who are somehow shocked to find themselves in the position, many years in, of making less than they think their time is worth and without the career prospects they had hoped for, and bitterly complain about it as if someone else made the decisions that put them there.

Graduate programs absolutely aren't for everyone. They are, however, a unique opportunity - if the good parts really appeal to you and the financials etc. make sense for you, by all means do it. Just don't expect it to be something it isn't.
Yeah, this is some Orwell-level doublespeak framing of the externalities of Capitalism.

Since the logic of the system does not permit individuals to present the damage done to them in material terms that describe the reality of their own experiences, not only is it untrue for them, it’s historically untrue for all similar cases.
If entire populations were 'poisoned' in the 70s and continued to contribute to society without noticing a severe decline in productivity, the meaning of the word loses its meaning.

I'd claim that the lead poisoning from leaded gas caused more issues to the population than Flint's water crisis or the 70's Detroit water did.
I am befuddled at this line of argument. We dropped safe levels for a reason. And reasonable people argue that our current standard is still to generous, and that it should be low or zero.

That people at some point in the past had it worse does not mean it's ok that it happens today. When my dad was born, infant mortality in the US was 4x what it is now. But that doesn't mean that having 4x as many babies die is ok. Especially when the cause is an undemocratic "emergency manager" trying to save a small amount of money.
Do these people have a case? Even if JUUL advertises themselves as a "quit smoking" tool, they did quit "smoking", no? Vaping is not smoking.

Very easy. Just get very sick and survive it. Or have a dependent do the same.
I completely disagree with your suggestion that reporting the facts has implicit bias. Leaving out specific details can be biased (such as if the attackers were also armed, or if the home owner owned the gun illegally) but reporting the facts while using language that is as objective as possible is in my eyes an important element of journalistic integrity. Investigative journalists do this all the time. Also for the record I am British, in case you were assuming I was American.

Saying that someone shot 3 people during an attempted home invasion does not provide any cues as to the author's opinion on the morality of the incident, which is key. The idea that journalists have to inject their personal feelings into their reporting is partisan nonsense.

Good. I know it might sound awful, but I feel relieved by the fact you're seeing strong resistance/reluctance towards a paid, proprietary product. Don't get me wrong though- I'm a pragmatist, and I'll gladly use any closed source solution if it's really the best to adapt to my needs and there's no open source solution I can't readily tweak for what I need.

When working on Linux, I find myself pining for Visual Studio at times, and for art Krita does have a hard time beating Clip Studio, but they've both earned their spot rightly.

I do think many people are like this though: they will use your software if they truly believe it's the best at what it does.

> Can we please stop repeating this line? It was false 50-60 years ago when garbage collection and register allocation was invented. It was false when yacc was built. And it's false today.

No, it's still very true today. We have pushed the bounds of what implementation details we are free to ignore, but those bounds are still very much on the order of "you have to program the algorithm I implemented" as opposed to "you have the freedom to choose any algorithm so long as the output obeys these mathematical constraints." Program synthesis techniques have improved and are improving, but they're still only really applicable to kernel-style transformations.
How is telling people what is good for them, like you just did, not fundamentalism? Almost every server and smart phone install of Linux uses proprietary software, that is clearly part of how people wants to use it. You yourself are communicating through many layers of proprietary software right now. This is exactly why people don't want to do open source. Because increasingly it isn't about culture, doing it better or making things happen. It is about telling people what to do and for people to enforce all sort of informal moral codes to protect their own position.
> Advice without context from anyone...would be useless, unless you are working/thinking about the problem that they are giving solutions for.

Totally agree. In my opinion, this can be a real reason to give advisors equity: to incentivize them to keep the context of your company in their head.

In many cases, you can get equally qualified (non-contextual) advice, for free, from tons of other folks (around SV, at least). But few will have the extended context that advisors who have been around for a while will.
