I have repeated it 5 times in a variety of different tones. I still don't know all the law that governs a US citizen, and they would still likely apply to me if I was in America :P.

You've missed the point. If someone puts a bear trap just outside my door it is easy to avoid - just hop over it. That doesn't change the fact that there is a bear trap outside my door. The whole point here is there are so many laws on the books that just talking to a federal agent is potentially incriminating, which is what is being part of what is being acknowledged by pleading the 5th immediately and getting a lawyer.

Also, if I don't know about the bear trap, there is a very high chance I will get caught in it even though it is easy to avoid.
It's always interesting to see random wikipedia articles pop up on HN, though I never really know what to say. I guess I'll just go with the default, something that sorta sounds right but is probably just reductionist bullshit.

Ahem

This whole concept of zig-zagging fortifications, while effective in actual combat, weakens the fort on the strategic. Since most sieges end with the defenders being starved out or attackers chased off, the supply of food and water is significantly more important than any tactical advantage in an assault. And of course, by building the walls in a more traditional fashion, the fort can shelter more food and peasants than a bastion for the same cost. Obviously, this style of building is simply a reflection of the hedonistic culture of the Italians and supported only by the Military-Cottage-Industrial Complex and should be rejected by any self-respecting civilized nation.
The larger concern is that we'll never make progress towards limiting side effects until we truly choose to pursue this research.

I'm all for IRBs, ethics boards, whatever is necessary to bound the risk. As long as we're not shying from scientific progress solely out of fear.
>Have you considered the possibility that confounding variables exist? I have no doubt that coming from a family where your parents have received a good education makes it much more likely for you to personally also go on to get the same education for example.

Yes.

If you read the citations you will see this is based on twin adoption studies, which control for confounding variables almost perfectly.

I assure you, ever single objection you can think of off the top of your head has been raised and overcome.

The heritability of IQ is not a conclusion psychologists wanted to affirm. It is fact the field was forced to come to from the data, despite the ideological drifts of the last 50 years yearning (or in the case of Stephen Jay Gould outright falsifying data) for the opposite conclusion.

What's needed:

- large amounts of capital. if you want to be earning $180k/year that would be in the millions.

- being able to handle losing money without your judgement being affected

There are many other factors but I'll stop here because in one of your comments you mentioned how you believe that you can succeed because you're passionate and your back is against the wall. Those are the opposite of the two points above.

I'm religious, but speaking within the materialist framework I'd say that the uncovering of oneself is part of a mating ritual, and that by giving such a signal one without the need one is in some way being dishonest, abusive (i.e: to harass or take advantage of) or even enroaching on the relationship of another. If a person were to be exposed in front of a child it would point towards that person having certain desires for that child.

As for why uncovering oneself is a reasonable mating ritual, I believe it is similar to how in the same way that if you have a gun and are going to shoot someone you would indicate as such to ward them off by pulling your gun out of its holster.

Well you should read the Odyssey (the Lattimore translation is quite good and accessible to the modern reader; don't know if it's still in print) and if you have the patience, the Illiad. The motivations of Hector, Odyssius et al are pretty obscure when viewed through a contemporary western perspective, but make more sense when viewed through the prism of their "cousins" in medieval Indian hinduism (or that some of my relatives in the Indian countryside back in the 1980s :-( ).

Some things that will seem clear and obvious through a modern lens are in fact utterly obscure, even, or perhaps especially, in translation. For example the famous Homeric line, "the wine-dark sea"...well it doesn't mean anything like you could imagine, for their whole model of colour utterly different from ours. Ironically this code was cracked by, of all people, Gladstone: here's a good essay on this though his monograph is quite readable: https://www.spectator.co.uk/2010/06/fathoming-the-winedark-s... -- notice this essay also references Vedic literature so my comment about Hinduism is not random. This kind of thing was quite puzzling to me as a high schooler trying to struggle through Homer and knowing that I would be immediately found out and screwed if I tried to use one of the translations to get a sense of the story...you get the plot in translation but can only dimly see the social order.

I also recommend Plutarch's Lives, although (or perhaps because) he attempted to bend the Greeks' actions to what we might consider a more modern frame, that of Rome. In particular though read Solon, Pericles (!!) and Alcibiades for clues into how they lived.

As for the Spartans in particular: basically any movie you've ever seen on the subject might as well be science fiction. The closest modern model I could come up with would be some Nazi fantasy crossed with Trotsky. The Spartans: The World of the Warrior-Heroes of Ancient Greece, from Utopia to Crisis and Collapse
by Paul Cartledge's "The Spartans: The World of the Warrior-Heroes of Ancient Greece, from Utopia to Crisis and Collapse" is probably the best for the lay reader and will probably blow your mind.

Ancient Greek is worth learning IMHO and has opened up much more intellectual opportunity to me than the parallel years of Latin ever did. Both are Indo-European (aka "Indo-German" in German!) languages so pretty easy to learn.

HTH
You should tell that to my friend who routinely tells me about sending 2000 dollars of equipment just to get scammed. It's happened so many times now he barely gets annoyed. Just a cost of doing business, getting scammed and PayPal is complicit.

From my impression the answer was more "we set up things in a hurry because of deadlines and now we are stuck with this until we implement the epoch system"
That's how our tests worked, but you still must choose a timeout or you will wait forever when you do not receive the response you're listening for.

Setting up the CI system to report failure on the first error would have helped a lot too. Waiting on a single timeout was not too bad. The problem was waiting on hundreds of them.

X86-64/AMD64 was solely developed by AMD and licensed to Intel.

I'm stating this because I can't tell what you mean by:

"wasted effort went into Itanium. But we ended up with x86-64"
I think this is legally required in the US, if you book directly with the airline. This is a solid reason to never book through the flight aggregators.
Fair enough. Needless to say I have a lot of heavy emotions on this subject.
Indeed, I'm very excited about this.

Rust + Python seems a natural combinaison to me, and being able to have one single dev env (and maybe in the end, one single deployment mechanism) to do both is a killer feature.

And actually, I think having Python written in Rust would provide some other very nice properties:

- limit the number of bug you can introduce in the implementation because of the rust safety nets;

- can still expose a C compatible ABI and hence be compatible with existing extensions;

- the rust toolchain being awesome, it may inspire people to make it easy to compile a python program. Right now I use nuikta, which is great, but has to convert to C then compile, which make it a complex toolchain.
> Second, even naturally white "alternative milks" have artificial coloring added

Could you give some examples of this? I'm not that familiar with the different brands, but I've tried quite a few, and at least in the US I don't think that any of them I've tried add artificial coloring, and I don't think I've noticed packaging touting this as an advantage. Maybe this is a regional difference?

Here's an example of what I think the ingredients usually look like: https://silk.com/products/original-soymilk (click on ingredients)

And here's a breakdown of the standard ingredients in almond milk that doesn't mention artificial coloring: https://spoonuniversity.com/lifestyle/a-breakdown-of-every-s...
Meh. For reference, I'm an expert level (~2000 ELO) chess player.

I'd say only very casual players or nitpickers watch the movies and say...

> "Ah ha! That is against the rules/wrong/a clear mistake! I'm so smart! Silly filmmakers for not knowing such things!".

It's the same as watching a Doctor or Lawyer show. Many of these 'mistakes' are made for dramatic effect, for better storylines, or to make the situation in some way or another.

In classical time controls, chess games can easily take upwards of 4 hours, and periods of 10, 20, or 30+ minutes with NO MOVES are quite common.

It's not a game that fits easily into the mold of other mass spectator sports.
Me and my wife both have jobs here and finding two jobs at once to relocate is difficult. Both our families are here, not caring for them (yet) but that also makes it hard.
I'm a PayPal merchant. I manufacture and sell a little gadget for a fairly esoteric and non computer related hobby.

PayPal is the only payment service that doesn't require me to write any code, or to maintain a server that can run server-side code. It also doesn't require me to store any customer information on a server. I download a transaction history in PDF format every year for my taxes, and I delete the customer information, just leaving the dollar amounts. I don't want your steenkin personal info. Hack away, there's nothing to steal. ;-)

Oddly enough, I'm a pretty good programmer and I love to write code, but also as a lone wolf, I think maintaining a secure website against adversaries who are smarter than me, is over my head. And it's not my business. I kinda started this business as an escape from code.

There are a few customers who really really don't like PP, so I have to offer an "out" and for my little business, they're OK with sending a money order. Oddly enough there is a strong correlation between those customers, and customers who want to talk with me on the phone. There will always be a few people who just have not gotten into the whole computer thing.

It is quite possible that I'm lucky to be in a little market niche where nothing ever goes wrong with orders. My product is a tangible physical deliverable. I am quick to refund if someone is unhappy.
Mathematics for Machine Learning
It's not just laziness. These projects have limited time and money, and more research, study and consultation than necessary is a waste of both.

Unless the actual, correct mechanics of a chess game are important to the plot, then it doesn't matter and almost no one will notice, much less care. Better ROI to spend that money on hair dye for Scarlett Johannsson.

OK, I'll use another tactic. Show me a single high-traffic travel website that uses the browser's default date picker.

PayPal sides with a buyer regardless of how established your business is and how many thousands of legitimate shipment of product you have made.

Good points. What are the other factors ?

I said what I said in another comment cos the comment prior to that completely missed the point and all it said was how it couldn’t be done because you are not a prodigy. While what I said is true I know it’s not the only thing I need. Else I wouldn’t post.
Here's the introduction at the top of the ProPublica page cited by the GP:

Pharmaceutical and medical device companies are required by law to release details of their payments to a variety of doctors and U.S. teaching hospitals for promotional talks, research and consulting, among other categories. Use this tool to search for general payments (excluding research and ownership interests) made from August 2013 to December 2016.

That seems like pretty fair context. You seem to be referencing a different article about Medicare reimbursement without actually citing it. That's a dodge.

If the medical industry requires reams of context to understand its practices and pricing, it's largely because pharma, insurers, medical groups, and individual providers often go to obscene lengths to obscure their practices and pricing.

I'm not going to waste skepticism on ProPublica that could better directed at the American medical-industrial complex.
Intel was independently developing 64-bit extensions under the code name Yamhill. I know there some legal settlements around the time so they may have cross-licensed technology. AMD came out first but Intel had much the same thing in its back pocket.

What I last statement meant was we ended up by an industry dominated by 64-bit x86 anyway in spite of all the effort that went into an alternative 64-bit architecture. So we’d probably be in a similar place had Intel just decided Itanium was a bad idea from the start.

In my experience they are not that high in sugar. Oatly doesn't add sugar and has about 2g/100ml or 3g/100ml. I looked up a cheap brand with more sugar than almond(2%) and they also had a very similar sugar level of under 3g/100ml. Every one has an unsweetened version on the same shelf as well. This is less than that of milk(without getting into the different kinds of sugar).

In comparison, soda is 11g/100ml, juice is 9g/100ml, iced tea is 8g/100ml.

Perhaps it is different in the US.

I am amazed though, when I see people buying "skinny oat(or whatever) milk". Pretty sure you can achieve the same at home by mixing regular oat milk and some filtered/softened water.
Here's another gem of a 'law', Constitutional no less:

As the other commenter pointed out, there are a number of diseases that have been pinpointed down to single gene mutations. There's a list of monogenetic disorders on the genome.gov page [1].

If this needed to be regulated in the same way as abortion to appease some folks, fine. Legal only to apply if you have one of these listed mutations.

Eugenics gets brought up a lot as a strawman (see comment a few above), but the scientific and ethical reality is there's a huge difference between treating someone with...

(a) a defective huntingtin gene

(b) a gene we believe to be associated with a disease

(c) a gene we believe to be associated with a superior outcome (e.g. intelligence)

Conflating the three to the preclusion of addressing (a) is ethically criminal.
