Each group is improving but mix of groups is changing.

High IQ populations have low fertility vs low IQ groups having high. South Korea with IQ 106 has TRF of 1.17. Nigeria IQ 84 has TRF of 5.53.

A gain of IQs within groups will be dwarfed by the change between groups.

If you think IQ tests are bogus we can use other metrics, eg Europe had 2x the population of Sub Saharan Africa in 1950, now Africa is bigger but has produced no hard science Nobel prizes and no new technology (like South Korea's smartphones)

Sorry if that wasn't clear, it's been a rather long time since I checked on the Future story. There seem to be more options now than when I looked into it. When I did my research over half a year ago tokio seemed to be the only option. Glad to see that's not the case any more.
For the love of god can somebody shut Elon Musk up before he ruins everything? He'd be on track to warrant having statues of him in future public parks if he could stop calling people pedophiles on Twitter.

There should be no level of “success” that lets you speak your mind without fear of consequence. When what’s on your mind are things like baseless accusations of pedophilia, for example, you ought to be afraid of “saying the wrong thing.”

That’s healthy.

As for Musk’s SEC violations, he chose to run a publicly traded company, nobody put a gun to his head. He was already wealthy, he decided that the upside of turbocharging the electric car revolution and the exploration of space were worth the constraints of dealing with regulatory bodies.

His choice, his consequences. We aren’t talking about him being fined for saying that he thinks his country’s Dear Leader looks like a deflated pumpkin. Nobody should live in fear of saying that.
So,whats the story here?

Did ya know Chrome makes random DNS requests at startup too? At first I thought it was thread or dll injection by malware or a bad extension. Turns out they're just making sure it gets nxdomain instead of a redirect to an isp sponsored parked page.

Either way,it looks funny but it isn't bad. It wouldn't be too difficult to see the logic behind the app generating this traffic I'd think.

I've found Materia-UI to have the best code quality, most up-to-date. If you don't like Material UI theming it's also easily overridable.

assume you are referring to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NonStop_SQL -- was not aware of it so thanks for bringing it to attention. first impression is that it was a technology way ahead of its times. in late 80s (and some would argue even recently), majority of apps can be run easily on monolithic/single-node SQL databases. they are not generating data at a volume that requires multiple nodes (in this case parallel computers) and user perception can indeed tolerate high latencies, manual failover and repair. we are now in a different era when it comes to data volume and user perception.
You're out of your mind if you think that's an better way to compose components. How would you do something like this?

case 'bar':
return <BarListItem>{listItem.title}</BarListItem>;
default:
return <ListItem>{listItem.title}</ListItem>;
}
})}>

we're definitely there in the K-12 market. The only email kids know is Gmail. The only browser they know is Chrome. The only OS a lot of them now know is ChromeOS, on the Chromebook their school was basically given "for free." their editors are Google Docs, Google Sheets, they use Google Hangounts to chat. Their phones are Android with all of the Google services. They know YouTube, Google Play, Google Music, etc. YouTube again for music.
Some have iPhones
.. and their Apple ID is a @gmail.com address.

It terrifies me just how deeply Google has entrenched itself in the K-12 education market. At least when Apple was everywhere, we still had Microsoft Office vs Appleworks/etc.

Google is now more "the internet" than AOL could have dreamed of.

Generally CSS is loaded into your code where you require them but has to be extracted into a single bundle.

If you want to it truly be loaded into your code where you use it, then CSS-in-JS is the solution and does this for you.

It sounds like the main gripe you have is with syntax, and that's not really required with CSS-in-JS. The 'nightmare of nested js objetcts' can be hidden in the implementation. In fact, many libs (such as emotion) allow you to write CSS syntax using babel macros to preprocess this into javascript.
Is this something that is happening on a regular basis?

In my view, people were offered a very clear choice: Made in China or made in the USA, and they very consistently and unambiguously made their choice at every given opportunity with their wallets.

Probably not the same people, mind you. People are inherently selfish. It's likely that those whose livelihoods depend on manufacturing realize the importance of buying domestic. But for everyone else, it's all about the wallet. Your sentence could be rephrased as: "I can have my inexpensive goods with a 10% markdown. You can go on unemployment."

If people were not so selfish in their spending habits the more socially conscientious corporations would be the dominant ones, but clearly that is not the case today.

Techies are a pretty big subset of MacBook Pro buyers, specifically, and that's the only line that has models in it with no escape key. The last quarter was the first one that the new MacBook Air was on sale -- the Air being one of Apple's most popular laptops and the one that had gone years without an update. That drove a lot of the sales that quarter. Were a lot of techies buying the Air? I don't know. But you know what the new Air has? An escape key. :)
Yes, theoretically you can ignore props and state, because context could replace both.
I prepared my taxes with Credit Karma, then with Turbo Tax, and CK was showing me a significantly higher return that TT. Upon investigating, I found that I had accidentally claimed my mortgage interested deduction twice, and didn't enter my 1099-G from my state tax refund from the previous year.

CK makes it too easy to make a mistake. TT is a much more polished product, which makes sense since they've been doing it for decades. I trust TT more than CK.

That said, TT doesn't charge you until you file. So I use both, make sure the numbers match, then file with CK for free.

TXR Lisp has good sandboxing for applications. The data structure which maps symbol package names to packages is itself a variable that can be overridden. So we can create a sandbox in which the sys package doesn't exist, and the usr package prefix refers to an altered one that has been scrubbed to a safe subset of symbols.

http://nongnu.org/txr/txr-manpage.html#N-00E20381

The sys:bits function is available now:

1> (sys:bits (cons 1 2))
3076696060

2> *package-alist*
(("pub" . #<package: pub>) ("usr" . #<package: usr>) ("keyword" . #<package: keyword>)
("sys" . #<package: sys>))

Remove the "sys" package:

3> [remqual "sys" *package-alist* car]
(("pub" . #<package: pub>) ("usr" . #<package: usr>) ("keyword" . #<package: keyword>))
4> (set *package-alist* *3)
(("pub" . #<package: pub>) ("usr" . #<package: usr>) ("keyword" . #<package: keyword>))

The symbol sys:bits is not recognized any more:

5> (sys:bits (cons 1 2))
expr-5:1: sys:bits: package sys not found
** syntax error

Because package-alist is a special variable, it's possible to dynamically override with let rather than globally clobber it in the above manner. The dynamic environment can then be a sandbox.
Does that leave any colorizing? I guess dirent still has d_type information, which should allow coloring based on type (directory, block device, symlink, socket, etc). (This information is also contained in stat's st_mode.)
It's still a lot given that when targetting the entire world (especially either mobile links or portions of the globe that don't have a CDN a millisecond away), a typical assumed link is on the order of 512 kbps bandwidth with 100ms RTT. That's two and a half seconds to load just your framework with a cold cache and without including any content.

Yes, many web developers are just targeting their own areas and test on high-speed links and everything seems fine, but frameworks that aim for widespread use still need to care about every single byte.
Multiple reasons, but here are a few of them:

- Email is hard to get right. There are many subtle configuration mistakes you can make, and it's pretty hard to detect those mistakes (hence one of the reasons why I started Mailhardener)

- Your users will have high expectations. For email to be used effectively users expect email to work on many devices, have a webmail client, calendar integration, a good search function, good spam detection, infinite backups, ability to have huge attachments, etc, etc.

- Your spam filter is never going to be as effective as that of the big email services. They have ML based spam filters that are constantly evolving. Even if you were to have access to their ML models, you wouldn't have enough data to effectively train that model.

- Hosted email solutions are almost always more cost effective, regardless of the size of organisations. Running and maintaining an email service is labour intensive.

Of course, there are also many legit use cases where you want to run your own email server. But for >99% of organisations, it just won't make any sense to run their own email.
You can use library like reselect to optimize. The job of context is simple: implicitly passing down value to deep component.

One way to get started is by creating a shell account on sdf.org and then using the provided script to create your personal gopher space:

$ mkgopher

Then you can start phlogging and join the community at gopher://gopher.club

I like reading Gopher content with Lynx and with the Android app DiggieDog. It's a great way to experience the "smaller" Internet of yesteryear but current.

What's awesome about the Gopher protocol is how simple it is. Writing your own ecosystem of Gopher tools is almost inevitable for developers because the simplicity just begs for play and experimentation.

> I still maintain that a HPV vaccination is less important than other vaccinations. This is especially true for men

Yes. Because stopping cancers at disease spreading vectors is just silly, right?

We don't vaccinate children and give boosters when they are young (at booster time and have great immune systems) for them to not be kinda sick for a while. We do it to prevent others, who are more vulnerable, from getting really sick and/or dying.

How are you missing the simple fact that most women get the cancerous strains from men?

How can you argue that virgins having sex with anything but another virgin and having no other sexual partners for life is what is needed for non-risky behavior? Because if any one has more than one partner and that partner is allowed more than one partner we are going to have spread of cancerous strains.

Moralistic arguments are what keeps us from mass-vaccinating against HPV-strains.

that's not sensationalizing.
Kalium, I'm going against my better judgement here, but I'm hoping that you are trying to apologize for real. As such, more feedback may be useful to you.

You tend to do this a lot and it does come off as very sarcastic, mocking, and/or un-genuine. As in, like, every sixth comment you leave.

Usually, you say something like : "You're right!" or "You're totally correct!" and then you exaggerate the point the person was trying to make, so much so that it comes off as mocking the comment and the person.

If you are mocking them, stop. It doesn't add anything to the conversation.

You are a pretty quick and sharp person, and you make a lot of very good points. So that's why I'm leaving this comment at all. You may just not realize that this is what you are doing.

I'm hoping that you just haven't seen that your style of commenting is coming across very badly.

But if you are trying to do this on purpose, stop it.

Thanks for the additional information but sometimes I wonder that 15k+ files count as 'many' nowadays. I mean, an off-the-shelf Canon DSLR produces 20k files per directory (10k JPG + 10k raw). Nevertheless, I did some test your approach on my PC:

On a NFS mounted on my PC your LS_COLORS tweak actually degrades the performance. Without modification, it takes 0.5 seconds to list a directory (on a slow consumer grade HDD) with 14448 files and after setting

export LS_COLORS='ex=00:su=00:sg=00:ca=00:'

it takes 4.4 seconds.

However, listing a local (SSD) directory with 15k files takes just about 0.12 seconds and gets faster after settings the variable to 0.06 seconds.

For all tests I drop the caches before testing, e.g.:

echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches; time ls --color=always /mnt/nfs/many | wc -l

> What's the point of success if you can't even speak your mind.

Nobody is stopping him from speaking his mind, he can't talk about his company in certain ways without checking from a lawyer from his company because it affects the other shareholders.

None of this seems to be about "speaking your mind".

> Second thought, are you even a successful person

Elon Musk is by almost any definition a successful person. He has tried to do large things and succeeded.

He is also exceptionally wealthy, which is a simple answer to "what's the point of ...".
