It was OK for Zachary Siegel to get video of the trial, and OK for him to report on the trial. There was in fact video being made available to him, via the media pool. His violation was of a decorum order -- essentially, being rude and making a scene. We don't generally prohibit reporting on a trial. Judges sometimes don't wish to perform on video, so that can be blocked, but reporting from outside the courtroom is always OK.

As I understand it, your situation is more like a general-purpose gag order on the entire trial. Part of ensuring fair trials is making them public. In secrecy, all sorts of bad things happen. Public trials are very much on purpose. Secret trials bring to mind the USSR, North Korea, and similar.

We don't have people getting gunned down in the street with their hands above their heads either. I think you refer to the August 9, 2014 shooting of Michael Brown. Evidence shows he was doing nothing of the sort. Instead, he was trying to grab the cop's gun. His fingerprints were inside the vehicle and evidence from his body shows that the gun was fired from very short range. Yeah, we do have criminals, I admit that, and it sucks.
I agree it's a measurement and does not encompass every aspect of intelligence, but I thought they developed tests which had no cultural component, using symbols and patterns.
"Qualcomm Inc. shares fell the most in more than two year"

That's technically correct, but misleading. The stock is still 20% higher than it was on April 15, 2019. (57 then, 69 now).

I think what you’re saying could be posed as a question. Is an IQ test a useful measure of intelligence in the same way in 2019 than in 1970?
(Anecdotal) I'm currently a high school student who participated in an IT class and a lightweight coding club. Something that at least is an issue here is that there simply isn't much of an interest in programming to begin with. The IT class was canceled after I finished it, due to the majority of people in that class being auto-assigned, rather than voluntarily joined. Coding club consisted of only my friends and ~2-3 other people who were only mildly interested.

Even in the 8th grade, there were opportunities to learn this sort of stuff, and nobody cared. Again, anecdotal, but still a factor.
From my experience of IQ tests administered in Germany the tests have multiple parts, among others one about reasoning about abstract shapes, one about spatial reasoning, and one about language (naming related words under time pressure and similar).
I remember reading the report on the day of the release and its conclusion was written quite plainly that no American colluded with any foreign government. It was one of the principal conclusions.

As for the obstruction aspect - isn't that now a mere technicality? A man and his team have been falsely accused, he tried to get out of the burden of being politically undermined by the drama of an investigation that would clear him in the end, which it did, but not without massive damage to his political capital, which it did. I am sure other governments were also following this closely, and it most certainly would have had an effect on foreign relations.

That sounds exactly like what any innocent person would do. If the government in my country shows up at my door tomorrow with some incorrect charges, my first reaction is to get rid of the investigation by whatever means necessary because I don't want to go through the nightmarish ordeal.

What's being argued is that he tried to fire the guy who would end up proving he was innocent? Is that the level of partisanship that your country has reached today? It's really not helpful to any society when things get that bad. It's the same "get him by any means necessary" attitude that I referenced in my earlier comment. We couldn't get him on the original accusation so now let's get him on how he reacted when we accused him.
Because when the US started a civil war and ousted your leader to install a chocolate oligarch backed by militant nazi thugs it was purely for your benefit, right? Not in order to plunder the country.
Taiwan is 100% Chinese culture.

If people don't think of Taiwan when they say "Chinese culture" perhaps it's simply because they don't actually know about the topic.
> It's more accurate to say that HUMANITY would need a cooperative spirit in order to reach interstellar travel. I don't think it's accurate to assume that every species would need this.

How do you build a spaceship without working together with others?

> Constructing even a galaxy's worth of kill missiles and launching them wildly like a shotgun isn't a strategy that any logical civilization would do.

Who said the missles are dumb rocks? If each one has a camera on it and a few adjustment rockets, it can choose which planets to target as it approaches the star. It's gonna take you a hundred thousand years to get there anyway, so who cares if you wreck the local ecosystem a little bit now? You're probably going to have to make changes to the planet to suit your species' needs anyway, so why be coy about it to save yourself a minivan's worth of raw material?
That was 10 years after it’s initial release and the spec hadn’t much changed from the specification defined by those Bell Labs employees. It wasn’t until 2011 that C++ saw some significant changes through the community. And in the first 10 years I seem to recall it was plagued by proprietary compilers having their own subtle behaviours.

I’m not saying it was all terrible nor that Go is managed better. But whenever there is a conversation about Go on HN people get so caught up in their own snobbery about how terrible they perceive Go to be that they lose all touch with reality.

The fact remains a language backed by a company is far less likely to die into insignificance than a language that isn’t. This is because it takes a lot for a language to gain momentum. You have a bit of a chicken and egg problem where developers won’t use a language without a good ecosystem, frameworks and community. But people aren’t going to write that if there aren’t already developers using it. This is where corporate sponsorship really helps.

Thankfully there are a plethora of good languages out there you can choose from. If you don’t like the direction of one language then you can use another. Or, alternatively, since Java, C# and Go all have open source compilers, you could fork and build your own community.
Static site generally just refers to the server serving static files.

So you marked the field deprecated and stated it would be removed in release "potato-wedge". The "potato-wedge" release rolls around, you delete the field, and Ted, who didn't care to pay attention to the deprecation warnings, ... does what?

In a statically typed world, Ted tries to compile his project and gets an error saying, "last_name doesn't exist". In a dynamically typed world, Ted ships his code into production (or possibly testing) and gets a call at 4:00a.m. saying it threw an exception or just died. (The testers are in Bangladesh.)

In Alan Kay's world (or at least that of the author), the code goes on robustly producing whatever results it produces in the case where no one has a last name. Better?

That doesn't sound like a valid IQ test to be honest.
Exactly. From what I understand, you have to put a huge tent over it to prevent any escaping. Asbestos in buildings doesn't do anything when undisturbed, so if you're careful around it, it can stay until the building is redone.

Imagine training a network that works well on a certain dog image, but then feeding it a slightly shifted version of the same image. The dog would not activate the same neurons, so the network would react completely differently!

But CNNs only deal with translations. What if the image of the dog is rotated?

Tesla drops for sixth straight session, down 20% since share offer
I believe this "fact" is included with the deliberate intention of making people angry. If people are angry because they think the US deliberately poisoned Vietnamese people then that anger might transfer over to modern safety regulations. The false information has propaganda value.

I support European-style regulations, but I think this is a short-sighted way to argue. Dioxins in cosmetics are bad because of their objective toxicity, not because of emotional associations. Playing up the emotional angle with false information only makes the rest of your arguments look suspicious.

Take all those sites you visit over a month, remove the ones you pay for directly from the list. Those remaining ones are the sites that will not be there without either ad support or direct charge.
The most commonly used IQ tests all use language and specifically test verbal comprehension (Wechsler, Stanford-Binet, Woodcock-Johnson, etc.).
Same deal. My personal favourite is always the difference between the actual technical interview passer, and individual doing the work. I know of many companies that blanket ban India, Ukraine, and Belarus because of this.
I wish that I saw more of these comments on HN links to science articles that explain some research paper. From now on, every such comment that analyzes the underlying study's power and significance, I'm going to upvote, as a general policy.

IQ is probably one of the closest tools we have to measuring intelligence, at least in terms of a person's ability to process information and reason about it.

IQ is not intelligence, but it's the closest thing to approximate it for certain cognitive aspects.
This is the modern standard IQ test:

I've always used it this way and it works fine indeed.
I remember reading that Intel was having TSMC run off the lowest end Altera FPGAs because Intel's fabs were just too expensive.

Other possibilities off the top of my head might be Cadence being able to do stuff that's now required for these smaller and using EUV lithography nodes, and/or a backup in case their "10nm" never makes it, and their "7nm" having problems or also failing. Embarrassment should be preferable to the worst case alternatives, and we have no reason to believe Intel will be able to regain its ability to move to smaller nodes.
A word test isn’t an IQ test. Nobody is disputing that tests in general can be culturally biased, but we are talking about IQ tests specifically.
Exhibit A: Flint water. And remember folks, Obama flew to Flint on Airforce One to sip two glasses of Flint water and to reassure people that it was fine to drink. I voted for him twice, but this just burns me up.

This is kind of racist. I mean there are probably bizillion good reasons against remote work and different time zones, difficult communication being one of them.

Until last week I worked at a software company doing safety critical software, the boss citing 2 or 3 similar thoughts like yours about other countries. He himself (German) wanted to get a bid for a project and was planning himself to fake 2 years experience instead of 2 months. I quit immediately - he'll not have the manpower to pursue it.

Anyway, just stop it. People from all over the world do it, there are even statistics about it that many employees/applicants from G20 countries do this.
Athlean-X is terrific. He is a highly accomplished physiotherapist and his videos are a treasure trove of solutions to very specific problems.

I have been following his video advice on fixing anterior pelvic tilt and lower back pain (a far too familiar problem for our types) and I can feel a tangible improvement on both fronts.

As for alternatives to crunches, variations of planks building into hanging leg raises are significantly safer.
Though it's not a guarantee, it certainly does help. I'd argue that intelligence is part of that "luck." You lucked out and won the genetic lottery.
Yeah it was awesome! But then years later most projects are wasting engineering time to convert their whole code base which is a bummer! That's all I'm saying.
Complex matter. There is legitimate lobbying, which is for expert groups affected by s policy to make their position known. The issue is that the process favours big commercial players that can cough up the cash for long-term professional lobbyists. Consumer groups, NGOs, etc. mostly have to resort to signature campaigns etc.

But lobbying is helpful. Consider niche technical issue where maybe 3-4 organisations do reply have established expertise (because they are commercially engaged). There is often on specific policy no established evidence at the moment in time when government has to make a decision, nor is the way forward obvious. Thus it's a matter of hearing everyone concerned and finding a nuanced path forward.

Wonlobbying is legitimately useful. But what has totally spun out of control is the US lobbying machine (which sadly is spreading to other places), which really often is just bribery in many ways.
How We Do Continuous Customer Development at Chargebee
I think this question is misguided. It is extremely difficult or even impossible to trace problems back to a specific source. The burden should be on companies that are creating an entirely new compound to prove that it is safe. See: talcum powder contamination taking decades to come to light even though it was a huge effect and a case of contamination instead of a new compound having some as-yet-unknown effect that we would then have to retroactively identify.
One bug? That's laughable to anyone writing any software
Why would that affect the principal conclusions of the report? The conclusion can't change when the redacted portion is unredacted. The person who came to the conclusion did so after writing those redacted sections, right?
I concur, this sounds more like someone trying to convince themselves that their morals are still intact and justify their decision. Certainly not changing my point of view.

I guess drinking too much of the KoolAid does this to... maybe thats why all the big co's have so many KoolAid drinking sessions. :)
It depends on what you use them for. If you want to compare the intelligence of people from different cultures, you need a culturally neutral test (whether such a thing exists is another question). For clinical diagnosis, when what you want to test is whether an individual is retarded or if there are suspicious patterns in their test results – like a large difference between their score at different subtests – I don't think it matters.

There are (or were) actually tests used by psychologists that include testing one's vocabulary. Which is knowledge, not intelligence.
I 100% agree that the regulatory process in the U.S. is insufficient and deeply flawed but this article is quite the piece of fearmongering. It's not enough to say, "in this one specific case this substance can be harmful, therefore it must be banned." You have to evaluate the conditions under which it is harmful and whether those conditions are like to occur in consumer use.

A lump of coal is a fairly harmless substance. Put it in your garden, on a shelf, sleep with it under your pillow. You'll probably never know a difference. Grind it up and breathe it every day for 10 years and you'll shorten your life by 5-15 years. Burn it and inhale it and you'll shorten it by 30.

This article doesn't concern itself however with how a substance is used. It's merely enough for something to have been harmful for it to be dangerous. Worse yet, there's no evaluation of the quality of the science indicating potential harm. They vaguely hint that a food dye is dangerous because one 2007 study showed it might increase hyperactivity in children? Give me a break. If that's our standard, that one study ever showed a possibility of potential harm we'll have to ban everything.

Again, I totally agree with the sentiment. The FDA should have its funding increased by 10 fold. They should be given the power to regulate supplements. They should be one of the most powerful and effective government agencies. But the standards of evidence are tremendously important. There's no reason to go full California and start serving coffee with a cancer warning.
Working memory is tremendously useful for a wide range of intellectual tasks.

Imagine a CPU with an eternal spinning-rust hard drive and no cache, vs a computer with a 10x slower CPU and a 4MB cache. Which do you thing is more powerful at solving problems?
> Consider if planes doubled their speed overnight (which they can, it's just a matter of gas/costs)

No, they really cannot. Jetliners can't even increase their speed by 20%, because that puts them through the sound barrier, which they can't handle. Planes must specifically be designed to handle that, like the Concorde or fighter jets. All planes currently used for civilian aviation cannot handle it.

Read the sentence I wrote "the south Indian vegetarian diet" is "primarily vegan".

It naturally follows if you eat meat your diet isn't vegetarian. Compres?

If you're Tamil as you claim to be then you'd know the Tamil word for vegetarianism is "saivam" referring to saiva pillai community

Hope this helps.

In North india banias, jains, several kayastha communities are vegetarian and several brahmin communities are non vegetarian.

So when you say that the subset of Indian population that is vegetarian is only brahmin you are factually incorrect.

Please go easy on the hate. Bigotry isn't cool.

> A language cannot prevent someone from making stupid mistakes.

This can be refuted in one.

if(a = b)

Languages that uses := for assignment, or some other operator, don't have the mental overload of equals being used both for assignment and for equality checks. Typos like the above become not possible.

Other languages just don't allow assignment in 'if' statements.

In regards to floating point support, a language could default overload equality checks so that they are configurably fuzzy when comparing floats.

And of course, languages already prevent stupid mistakes. Even the humble C compiler properly arranges the stack for us when exiting a function, putting all return values in the appropriate place based on the platform's ABI and restoring registers that are supposed to be preserved.
Java is a blue collar language in the eyes of people interested in language design and to be fair, some of them recognize its merits. The majority of programmers care more about their domain in which they are working and less about the language used in that domain.
I think the interesting part here is that it's not just some 'compressed pages' taking up an arbitrary fraction of RAM (regardless of how much more efficient their reimplementation of zswap is), but being dynamically tuned based on machine learning (Gaussian processes) to balance savings with performance objectives in the real world. If you have that framework, I could see this being extended to forms of memory other than local on-mobo RAM, like Flash drives, or actual RAM elsewhere in the datacenter: they just have worse performance characteristics than local RAM and get used less, is all.
Selection against intelligence should definitely not be ruled out, although there are various environmental issues that could be solved.

Female obesity is known to lead to preganancy complications which cause cognitive deficits.

Obesity in general is known to cause systemic inflammation which affects cognition and speeds up dementia.

The opioid crisis and various other types of drug abuse lead to brain damage.

Various nutritional deficiencies could play a role. Historically, iodine deficiency caused the condition of cretinism, but sub-clinical deficiencies can lead to more subtle effects.

Sleep deprivation is known to cause cognitive deficits, and electronic lights and jobs with nocturnal schedules are more common now. Light pollution and spending too much time indoors during the day throws off our circadian rhythms.

We still have various types of neurotoxins plaguing our environments. More people are living in urban environments now, which causes greater exposure to automobile exhaust. Coal plants are still spewing neurotoxins. Lead pipes are still common in many cities.

High indoor CO2, from poor ventilation, is known to cause cognitive deficits.
