You've gotta be careful with Wiki at times. In that same paragraph you'll also see the sentence "Contrary to popular[citation needed] belief, two parents of higher IQ will not necessarily produce offspring of equal or higher intelligence. In fact, according to the concept of regression toward the mean, parents whose IQ is at either extreme are more likely to produce offspring with IQ closer to the mean (or average)." That literally made me laugh. Whoever wrote that has no absolutely clue what regression towards the mean is or means, yet felt qualified to write on it. The reason Wiki is useful is as a collection of sources to meaningful information and statistics. But much of what is written by Wikipedia editors themselves is often very bad, and exponentially more so when you enter into any area that could be in any way controversial -- which includes this topic. It should be taken with a grain of salt.

In this case, however, the statement you mention is technically correct. But one thing you have to account for is that 20% encompasses all environmental differences. Put another way, if we all had a 100% identical upbringing and environmental factors then the heritability of any given observation would obviously be 100%, since any deviations from the norm would be primarily due to genetic factors. So that means that all of the wild variations in our upbringings and backgrounds are constrained to as little as 20% of any variation in IQ.

> Once you have a couple kids, you might as well have a dozen.

You make completele sense. But you didn't; at one time.

It took a lot of convincing before we had our first one. I was terrified and completely worried about everything all the time.

The second also took some convincing. But after he came; I really felt like I could handle anything. After a few months of both; I no longer had these worries about adding more kids. I don't think there's much difference between 2+ and 20.

The F-35 project is (so far) the ultimate expression of our permanent war economy which has propped up the United States since the end of world war 2. As such it is no less misguided than QE since the object of this type of military spending is to consume excess production.

“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in a final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed.”

Absolutely.

There are lots of products that are essentially exactly the same as they were years ago, which is great — change is often a bad thing for consumer products and tools. Typically the only value that innovative managers have in these companies is making the product incrementally cheaper and shittier. The value is that it makes room for quality competitors.
It has nothing to do with automation. You could just eliminate half of the administrative workforce at these universities overnight and the important parts would keep running just fine.

For example, my university had a very extensive dining system, all within a block of town, which was full of restaurants. The dining halls were more expensive than the restaurants. But everyone had to buy a super-expensive meal plan, to prop up this ridiculous side-business of the university.

This seems to be a blacklisting solution. Some third party code gets filtered.

I prefer a whitelisting solution. umatrix is a very elegant tool for this. You can say

On domain thisandthat.com allow scripts from domain
soandso.com'

Or

On domain funkycars.com allow images from
domain carimageserver.com

That is exactly the level of whitelisting that feels logical to me.

You can do that. But to a large extent you are giving things up for that money. Being close to your family, or cultivating friendships have value. So does many other things. I get why people do it, especially since alternatives hard to come by, but it is still a bit of a tragedy. Or at least not ideal.
Agreed - I'd go farther to say it only works for addresses in the userspace half, so on Linux you lose an extra bit and only get 47 (I don't know how the mappings are setup for Windows/OSX, sorry). It also might be worth pointing out that you now need 16x the page mappings (Since every mapping needs 15 duplicates for the possible flag states) - I don't know how Java does it's memory management but if it does lots of small mappings (Which I'm guessing it does not) then that could be a concern. And like you mentioned with the TLB, it takes up space and it also slows things down a bit since if the flags change the entry in the TLB will no longer be used (since the address is now different) and the MMU will have to walk the page-table again.

In practice, I would wager the performance concerns aren't huge, but that's mostly just a guess. I'd personally be interested in seeing a comparison to masking to see just how much slower masking would be, but obviously it's not like they can just flip a switch to use masking.
Like the other poster says - this doesn't really sell any cars because they are spoken for as soon as the plans to build one are revealed (ie Bugatti often sells through their entire planned-to-build cars years or even decades before the car is actually built)

Often luxury car companies will refuse to build any more because each additional car built reduces the value of all existing cars.

So the answer is 0. This marketing doesn't need to sell any cars to justify the cost.

>the F-35 program provided significant benefit to main street businesses and households

Not sure I agree with you there. It's no secret that the Air Force is already developing solutions for unmanned aerial superiority platforms. Being as kind as possible to programs like the F-35, I'd have to say that they will be, at best, "transitional". No way they will have the service life of, say, the F-16 or even 18.

You have to wonder, if you know you have to go unmanned anyway, why not just upgrade the F-18 and your existing stealth platforms to get you through?

The answer to that question was likely given to us a long time ago by General Butler and Ike.

>From a customer's perspective why wouldn't someone opt into this model?

My theory is that contributing factors are psychological, cultural and environmental. I don't have a lot of data to back up my theories, but I do have anecdotal evidence that people are creatures of habit and conditioning. I see it around me all the time. I can provide people with a simple technical solution; but if it deviates from their normal pattern, a majority will reject it. It has to meet multiple criteria. Lower friction (you did this part), follow a pattern (this is where I believe psychology comes into play), gain popularity (peer pressure, cool kids are doing it). There are probably many other factors and my theories about why adoption of such things may be off.

Hopefully others with more economic, marketing and psychology backgrounds can correct or amend my theories.

Nobody is owed employment. Nobody is owed financial stability. If they have real, useful skills, get a job somewhere else, if not, they can go back to school. It will have just gotten a little bit cheaper.

It's not as if downloading Python and making your first app will take you more than a few seconds, minus download time.

Set up is rarely an issue, once you set up a language even as complex as C++ its completely automated. You press a button and magic happens.

If the biggest selling point of a programming language is that it comes preinstalled with the OS of your choice, its not much of a selling point when the average user downloads and installs GBs of data just to play the latest game hype like Fortnite.

The only people who mind installing stuff are predominately web devs. 99.9% of users out there are fine with it for more than 6 decades now and that wont be changing any time soon.

I've lived where I live for 18 years. I've been in my current job less than a year. Does that justify pulling my kids out of school just before they do their exams so I can move house?

Where you live is not a simple choice for many of us. History of previous jobs, family commitments, schools, house prices, etc., etc... Like lots of things, it's a compromise.

- The cancel button on the sign up screen doesn't work.

- The Terms of Service and Privacy Policy links on the sign up screen don't go anywhere useful.

- I'd like to know more about the "optional extra services" and how much they cost before I sign up. I always suspect the worst when I'm pricing info is hidden behind a paywall.

In most tech companies, if you wish to create a nudist group and organize a nudist mixer, you're more than free to do so, provided you can acquire a space that will allow you to be freely nude.

So the fact that it's Black History month isn't somehow deserving of this special feature?

Is it really a boondoggle though? I mean, it keeps the defense industry rolling, gives the military something to fly, politicians and the media something to talk about, and it's more or less capable of bombing third worlders who can't effectively shoot back.

Having been one of those #1 employees in the past, I didn't feel short changed. It was an arrangement that was beneficial for both myself and the employer. I don't know how many of us there are. But there are people who will take being on call 24/7 in exchange for full autonomy and not having to justify coming and leaving at random hours or taking leave without notice when the opportunity is there.

I had the employer pay for some of my vacations during downtime, I progressed along my career path much faster than normal employees, I was paid more than normal employees. It was a good gig.

Despite popular opinion, you can't actually just throw money at politicians and get them to do whatever you want. Politicians need money because it helps them get votes, but allowing dense housing in neighborhoods full of single family homes is a great way to lose votes. No amount of money will make up for that at the polls.

Absolutely. And the depressing part is that SOME parts still could have been shared between the different aircraft even in a more modest proposal (e.g. warfare systems). They just decided to go that extra mile, and wind up with an aircraft that likely won't ever save money and is too complex for its own good.

I hope we're done with manned aircraft after the F-35, and it is all drone swarms from here on out.

Then they may go elsewhere, to someone not on a 9-5 monday-friday culture. Many now space people out (ie some on a w-th weekend) so the company can provide 7-day service at normal rates. I used to work in film/tv. 7-day service is a norm.

24-hour is harder, but when you have clients across different time zones, it is also a norm. Again, with big films scattering themselves across the globe, it is expected that someone in authority picks up 24/7 because your 3am is sometimes the client's 10am.

You can charge more for this, but the client doesn't want to hear complaints. You will be judged on service rendered for a given price. The firm down the street, the one who can provide people on a sunday without overtime, will win the next contract.
Flammable has a very specific definition - it must be easily ignited at room temperature. Kerosene is not easily ignited at room temperature (e.g. you couldn't light a puddle of it with a match), so it is not considered "flammable". It does burn at room temperature though, so it is considered "combustible"

I understand that Zed is not a rando to you. Do you understand that you're not everybody else?

You appear to be arguing that the behavior isn't gross in general, in which case rando definitely is the right measure. Maybe you're only arguing it's not gross when Zed Shaw does it. That seems dubious to me, in that a) most people don't know who he is, and b) many reasonable people differ from you in their analysis of his reliability. (Indeed, many people mainly know him as being a high drama jackass. [1]) Maybe you're just arguing it's not gross to you and when it's Zed Shaw, but even there the neighbor thing is a bad analogy in that your relationship with Zed Shaw is not social, but parasocial. There is no reciprocal benefit serving as a check on his behavior.

> He is framing it in a way that makes it seem Zed will exercise this right unreasonably. At least, that's the way I understood what he said.

You understood it poorly. He said "can", not "will". Contracts are not about giving people the benefit of the doubt. They're about locking things down to remove doubt. If we just assumed good things about everyone, we wouldn't need contracts. So this is analysis of capability, not intent.

Given that the clause is there, I think there are two reasonable interpretations: a) Zed Shaw is an idiot, who puts random clauses into licenses, or b) Zed Shaw is reasonably smart, and put that clause in there because he was thinking of cases where he'd use it. On whom? In what circumstances? The license doesn't say. It introduces a great deal of legal risk, and of doubt. It seems a little rich to me for Shaw to go out of his way to create a great deal of doubt and have anybody expect he should be given the benefit of it.

Whitelisting while keeping every website moderately functional seems impractical for the Mozilla team, which means the burden of choosing what to allow falls on the end user.

While that's a great approach for privacy, the usability loss would probably drive the average person away from Firefox. I think the listed approach is likely best for the average user, but I think it would be nice to have an option for a power user to turn on a whitelist-only mode. (One could argue that "install an extension" is an appropriate "option" for the power user, but as you mention, it's nicer to not need to rely on third party extensions)

Of course, but for the vast majority of cases the right mental model is "too bad". Whoever needs you to be available after hours needs to learn how to plan and execute his work. Emergencies happen, but those should be rare; if not, wean them off or look for another employer. Being on call all the time is not healthy long term. Today's job market is very friendly to engineers; if your company does not minimize those emergencies, consider working elsewhere.

I wish it were that easy. But unfortunately, if the bosses aren't already asking these questions, they probably can't be consulted into it.

They might bring a consultant in, and nod away at his analysis. They may write some memos, talk about it in the manager meetings. But that's it. Nothing changes.

Management defines culture. Culture is a function of personality. Personality rarely changes. That is why leadership matters so much. That is why we have seen companies stuck in a rut for years, but then radically transformed when a new CEO is brought in. Or vice versa, companies that are doing well, and then tank under new leadership.

But hey, if you can talk them into flying a middle-market CIO in to give them a come-to-jesus speech, I'll be happy to take the money.

The most likely truth is one which is sourced from multiple, non-associated entities, or ones which don't have incentive to co-operate. This would rule out the government model because they are a single source and they have a vested interest in pushing a single "truth", not to say that they're always wrong.

Much like wikipedia, if you source from a diverse enough base of information and providers, you are more likely to land on the truth than not.
I've advocated this for a long time, not something people are receptive to though. I've been in GPs position, I've done little or nothing for YEARS at various development jobs, I do some high visiblity things, but otherwise coast. It's bizarre, but i always get glowing reviews. I've spent years averaging 5 hours of work a week. It's easy in software if you're good at it.

The logical conclusion is maximize your earning moonlighting an additional job. It's hard though; to land one, and work two jobs concurrently. IF they're both remote helps a lot.
When cost of living for a quality of life that is equivalent to almost any other area (e.g. not having 8 roommates on a $150k salary) is taken into consideration, SV salaries actually pale in comparison to those in other areas.
