Humans diverged long before the appearance of civilization. According to Wikipedia[1], the first homo sapien migration out of Africa began 300,000 years ago.

>Take a newborn member of one population, plop it in one on the other side of the planet, and in 20 years they'll be indistinguishable from anyone else (minus whatever effects that society applies to the child due to differences in their appearance).

Your point that all differences arise from societal treatment is debatable. There are adoptive population studies from the late 20th century where non-white infants adopted by white families were evaluated during adolescence and consistently showed measurable, significant differences SAT scores, for example. Of course, how much of that is still an effect of nurture neither of us can say.

Ultimately it is still an open question, but, appropos to the article, the current political climate of the scientific establishment will unlikely allow for an unbiased study, or any study, into the subject.
The supply curve doesn't have to be rational, it just exists.
The fact that you're using toll booths to collect tolls is the concerning part to me. Here in Toronto we have a toll highway where everything is automated. Via cameras/license plate if you only drive on it occasionally, or via a transponder if you drive on it often enough it's worth the discount (I assume the discount exists because the cameras are unreliable, sometimes miss people, and they want to minimize errors).
What is the profile of a typical client in the market for such an app by which I assume you mean one built with React, Angular or Vue?
From my understanding the better policy will be to prioritise the smallest assets first. To me it seems counter-intuitive but apparently it proves out in theory and testing: https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~harchol/Papers/usits1.pdf

More dramatic improvement might be possible if streams can be interrupted and resumed (which is something protocols like RSocket support): https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~harchol/Papers/MIT-LCS-TR-767.pdf

Apologies if you're already familiar with these.
> but pose no present danger to citizens

I would suggest that if something appears likely to cause a fire, you can:

a) Wait for the fire to start, put it out, then fix the cause.

b) Preemptively fix the cause, thus preventing the fire from occurring in the first place.

The questions are then "how likely is this to cause a fire" and "how bad would the damage be"? I would estimate that the likelihood for authorities to abuse widespread, centralized facial recognition deployments is approximately 100%, and that in many cases the damage would be extremely high.
Well Cisco wrote the code so it has to be in some way intentional but it doesn't necessarily mean it was done maliciously though. It could a private developer key used for testing accidentally got pushed out in production code or some poorly thought out management "feature". Regardless it is an epically dumb mistake for a company like Cisco to make on an enterprise product.
Israel: An 'Underwater' Nuclear Power (Thanks to German Submarines)
Brushing aside the "giveaway" aspect of the parent comment, banks decide that money is gone (or inaccessible) because actors didn't respond within "reasonable timeframes" pretty frequently. For example:

- Banks are not legally obligated to honor checks older than 6 months

- Dormant accounts where the bank is unable to contact the account owner have their balances transferred to the state (State Seizure)

The latter probably makes a little more sense in this case since you could (depending on the issuer) just request another check from the source.
Hooray, yet another vulnerability caused by the speculative hacks Intel implemented instead of investing in research and development.

We have had the same basic architecture since 2011's Sandy Bridge. That's 8 years of die shrinks and speculation hacks.

This is what happens when you have only 2 players in a major industry and one of them slips away from parity. AMD failed to compete with Bulldozer, so Intel hasn't had to innovate for nearly a decade.

As a result, Intel cpus are now all slower than they were on release and Intel may have to disable hyperthreading for their patches.

This is utterly pathetic. Between this, the other exploits, the shameless price gouging and removal of features, the utter failure of their 10nm process, and the appeal of Ryzen, I think Intel is screwed.

They've been selling us the same crap for 8 straight years. Moore's law isn't dead, Intel just tossed it aside when they realized they didn't have to lift a finger to keep raking in cash.

Can't wait for zen2 and to say bye bye to Intel for a long time.

Having talked to a doc, I learned this for myself: inflammation is simply an immune reaction where body believes that there is something to be fought, either rightly (infection) or wrongly (allergy).

You can have low inflammation if you're healthy. But also if you're sick, but your immune system is not putting up a fight.

You can have high inflammation if the immune system is fighting a good fight, fending off intruders. But also maybe it's fighting its own host body, or a stray speckle of dust.

Can't tell much just from the metric alone. If inflammation is high then something is up for sure, but then... it may or may not need intervention. So not helpful, really. Chronic inflammation is probably a good indicator that the immune system is not winning.
It would be really interesting to get a packet capture of what exactly they are sending in the payload.

Some of it may not be tracking, but rather eager loading info. Like each time a call comes in I bet they query the spam call database to see if the number is spam so they can show their warning. I really like that feature. It would be good to know what is really "tracking" and what is not.
>Nothing of what I said suggests that ethnic factionalism be new, but only that it be of sufficiently different character...

It is of different character, it's a lot better for minorities today. Notwithstanding the drawbacks of being black or native american today, and I do understand that there are many, it is much better to be native american today than it was to be native american in the 19th century. Ditto for being black.

>Religion or shared philosophy does -- in my opinion -- play a significant role in relieving racism...

Here we absolutely agree. I just think that relief of racism probably comes more through what I'm just going to call "spiritual practice" for lack of a better term. We all already share a common philosophy. Many of them. Most Americans readily accept the fact that an American of a different race, is still an American. That's a shared philosophy. Most native americans, blacks and whites speak english, eat chicken, and go to some form of christian church on sundays. On the surface, they all have the same sort of base philosophy. But the devil is in those details that I'm calling "spiritual practice" right.

The music at a black southern baptist church might be off putting to people accustomed to a white catholic church for instance. Or vice versa. Different spiritual practices. The reason Catholics marry Catholics is familiarity. Same spiritual practices.

Also should mention that I think spiritual practices can encompass more than just religion. Habitat for instance. Or playing music with your bandmates at local gigs and festivals might be a spiritual practice. The musician may not even realize it, but the reason he teaches kids at the local festivals is because music is his spiritual practice.
One could make the argument that the execs didn't know until after the first crash. But they definitely knew by the time the second one crashed. They had months to do something and did nothing.
>Assume a low $50k per person/year,

That's a very low number to assume!

The last time I checked, base compensation for toll takers in New York was well over $120K/year.

In unionized NJ, I am sure compensation is about the same.
How so? An SSH key is a single factor. You could argue that a password-protected private key provides a second factor, but that still falls in the category of "something you know."

No. You had a choice before that.

Yes, and there are also people willing to work in unsafe conditions, work in illegal industries, and trade with the country's enemies. The "free market", as implemented almost anywhere, has never been synonymous with trading with whoever you want on whatever terms.

I am still not sure what they meant "client systems on shelf for 2019". All the other sources seem to imply it strictly for mobile (Ultrabook and NUC). So the server 10nm will be first (H1 2020) and then desktop later than that? Does this match Intel's past behavior for their desktop / server product release schedule?
There's no way the execs can deny they knew everything by the time the second plane crashed. It's damn if they do, damn if they don't. If they didn't know, why the hell not?! A plane crashed, why wouldn't they demand to know? That's negligence. If they did know, they had months to make a decision that would have saved the second plane and did nothing.

It's actually very sustainable. Renewable energy production follows a normal distribution. The natural gas plants won't have to produce more than 60% of the electricy during the 10 worst days of the entire year. Therefore a 90%+ reduction in emissions is possible without any storage system at all. Add power2gas technology which will be available over the next decade and it suddenly we are not only carbon neutral, we can also capture it. How are you going to store energy without using gas? Oh and did I mention that 10GW worth of natural gas plants costs less than a 1 GW nuclear power plant? Therefore not running natural gas plants most of the year is cost effective.

Look at the Boeing board members. They are responsible for Boeing's current trajectory. Expect Nikki Haley to hold anybody accountable?
Yes. Stop supporting this company and their duplicitous practices. After bulldozer flopped they stopped competing and just made 8 years of sandy bridge die shrinks with extra speculative sauce to speed things up.

Their former CEO also committed insider trading by selling off most of his stock before they revealed the vulnerabilities.

I think they are just squeezing people while they can before ARM takes over. AMD is equipped to adapt with their chiplet design. Intel just has an 8 year old ISA that's rooted in the Pentium M from the early 00s. They couldn't even hit 10nm after pushing the launch back for years.

I'm hoping they have to face the music and ARM or RISC V takes over the market with tons of healthy competition from more than just 2 companies.

If you don’t do that, how can you claim to represent the workers?

Unions are fundamentally democratic organizations, and without an obligation to represent, you can easily find yourself in a position where your politics within the organization matter more than your circumstances.

All of this stuff is mostly a distraction. AT&T wireless is a union shop, and is very competitive in the marketplace. When you have companies that are fat and poorly managed, with the ability to dump costs on the customer, like Boeing or GM in the old days and you get shitty, poorly negotiated contracts,

In a case like this, AT&T has unlimited leverage. Much of their area are in labor-unfriendly states, and they have a pliant FCC who would take action if AT&T decided to start killing kittens. So they’re acting while the Fox is still in the hen house.

German plants are old. There's issues with a few of them. Decommissioning them seems inevitable. The question is whether building new nuclear plants, at probably about 15+ years for the first plant to start operations, is really a better option than investing in renewables?

The incentives just aren’t there though. Performance reviews are all about impact, and engineers who focus on quality instead of impact are worse off in career advancement. Likewise with the incentives on companies; companies that do slow but careful development get overtaken by faster moving competitors which reward impactful employees.

And it isn’t even clear to me that most consumers would prioritize security / stability over feature-sets when choosing software.

If you are asking people money, you must answer their questions. Not the explicit questions, the important one are the implicit questions, like "Are you a crackpot?".

> [...] the drugs outperform in independent standardized tests at the National Cancer Institute. One is ready to enter Phase II clinical trials and these are soon to happen (for NSCLC).

Does it mean that one of your drugs passed the Phase I trials? It means that it was injected to humans? And they survive??

This is a good signal that you are not a crackpot. (Or you are a very dangerous one :) .) Why is this information not in the fundraiser post?!?! Not in a indirect link, put it explicitly, with a short explanation of what is a "Phase I clinical trial", an a link to the results.

Something similar happens with the comparison with Carboplatin (in my other comment). I can Google "Carboplatin", and I finally made the search, but if you are asking me money, put short explanation of why it is interesting to compare to Carboplatin and a link to the Wikipedia page, and save me a few minutes.

I trust more the review in a jornal article than in a patent, but each area has it's own problems and uses and customs. But don't expect normal people to be able to read patents. (What is an "embodiment"?) (Don't expect people to follow and read the links neither.)

I think that the problem is that the post has too few explicit information. It doesn't have the name or formula of the drug, the attack path, why it is new, why it should be useful. Almost the only explicit technical info is the graph at the bottom.

You can try writing a blog post about the previous drug. Write it for someone that has an Engineering degree in Chemistry and understand the difference between a sugar and a fat, but is not a Biology or Medical specialist. (Bonus points, if the blogpost can be read by an Electric Engineer, that knows that there are atoms, but don't care too much about their order.) Add a few graphics, 3 or 4, graphics are good.

Post the blog about the previous drug here, and let's hope that it got traction and you get some feedback. Once the main concerns are fixed, use the blog post as a template for a new fundraiser. Something like:

* Hello.

* My previous drug is very good (copy the whole blog post here)

* Why I think my new drug is better (not too long)

* Please give me money for a lab test (some additional details)
Relying on corporations to help the lower middle class, is an outdated idea. Corporations are expressly designed to create value at the lowest possible cost, which necessarily means minimizing labor expenses. Relying on corporations to achieve universal healthcare and a living wage, is expressly going against what they were designed for.

There is a far better way to help the lower middle class: through the government. Raise taxes on the rich, raise the capital gains tax rate, and use the revenue to subsidize college tuition, to provide universal healthcare, and to supplement the earned income tax credit.

Let corporations do what they do best: provide services at the lowest possible cost. And start demanding that our government do what it's supposed to do: ensure that the wealth generated by corporations is adequately shared by all.
