> And get yourself a girl friend.

I might generalize this to "put yourself in position where you have a responsibility to other people". The expectations that other people have of us can be a burden, but they can also help us pull together enough motivation to get stuff done.
Put it on a lazy Susan, run it for the 2nd half of the trip. (But the paper describes the mechanism for deceleration without repositioning the engine)

Shouldn't the fact that they were part of standing up solid reasonable solutions reflect well on their resume, to reasonable hiring managers elsewhere?
Or Alaska or Hawaii - same problem (shipping restrictions invisible until checkout). It's insane. They know exactly where I live.
I scored 140 when I was 10 or 11, and today 40+ years later I sometimes would like to be able to wind back time before day one and remix my parents DNA with a chimp so that I could score no more than half of that figure.
Being intelligent can be indeed a blessing, but only if you live in the right context, both at home and school (that's parents responsibility when you're a kid), otherwise people will marginalize/bully you; at school just because you are (talk, act, etc) different, at workplace because being more intelligent makes you faster at identifying problems and solving them. Whether or not this turns out into a higher pay you make some enemies anyway because either some colleagues become envious or they now need to work harder because you set a new standard to follow.
Being intelligent can also ruin your life if you have ideals, that is, you would like to change things for the better also for other people. What kills you from the inside is the awareness about something that is awfully bad or wrong and understanding that you are absolutely powerless at changing it, so that you'd rather want to never have known about that problem from start.

Socially speaking things aren't that different: I've got to the point of faking being "normal", both at work or in social life, that is, I had the solution for a problem or something smart to say or do, but kept it for myself because I didn't want to appear different, and I also sometimes wanted to be invited at parties, so I totally understand your point.
The only thing being intelligent helped a lot was finding the right woman (17 years together with highs and lows, mostly highs) but especially at young age one would rather find a wrong one each week than the right one for life. That's where being intelligent doesn't help at all: if you want to have fun, hide as much as you can that you belong in the right part of that gaussian.

BTW, I've got a bit more luck at finding jobs, but mostly because it was before the post 2k crisis; one morning I sent my (almost empty by then) resume to various companies and recruiters, and by lunch time I had like 12 or 13 job offers. That was just crazy; it didn't last long though.
That name seems easy to mispronounce.
It's interesting to see Python's gradual acceptance to TMTOWTDI.
I think that's the problem with demonstrating Redux, no?

You start reaping the benefits when you need a state machine to manage complexity of your application. Thus, to demonstrate Redux's usefulness you need sufficiently complex examples.

That said, the explanation is as easy as saying Redux enables your frontend to be a state machine.
You know, I have nothing against China building things from scratch on their own. I'm sure there are engineers in China who disdain all these espionage efforts and want to do their own original works, but are forced to "make use" of the information.
Micah (Scanlime) did some work on a Bluray player. Brace yourself - this is a real tour the force of reverse engineering: http://vimeo.com/110257380 https://hackaday.com/2014/10/30/reverse-engineering-a-blu-ra...

There is another "independent" firmware for a bluray players, pirate one for Xbox 360 ones :) somewhat hard to get your hands on the source.
Even if the shares are non-voting, converting half the founder's shares into dead equity in the cap table creates problems for the other investors. It isn't only about voting rights.

For example, they may need to top off the founder's equity to maintain an acceptable level. This either requires unplanned dilution for no additional benefit to the company or reallocating equity from somewhere else. Basically, other people with an active interest in the company may have to eat a loss due to the conversion of founder stock to dead equity, it isn't just the founder that loses. Investors avoid cap tables with a lot of dead equity in any case, so it will also make it harder to raise money in the future.
I agree, but I think sneaking the word "high achievers" into the conversation is part of the problem.

"High achievers" shouldn't be people who scored well on tests (IQ tests, the SATs, etc.)

They should be people who achieved things in real life! For example, building something people use (e.g. not "playing house" for investors), reforming our legal system or government, excelling at sports, music, etc.

There's a certain part of the population that I'm familiar with where achievement means "performs well on metrics that somebody else designed".

But I also think there is a large part of the population who "calls bullshit" on that value system. And I would call that "common sense" more than anti-intellectualism.

The former kind of "achiever" lacks agency in the world, and that's probably a major reason why they're depressed (speaking from past experience). It's human nature to be depressed when you're being judged and have to jump through hoops set up by others. It's also natural to be depressed if everyone's telling you that you achieved something, but yet nothing in your life is actually better.

I guess it goes back to the comment about passing the IQ test but failing the intelligence test ...
Well, a sample of 2 isn't exactly a representative sample size.

The thing is, if you look at IQ and ability to pass a math class, they do correlate strongly.

The fact that these folks were Mensa means something else.
Sampling the set of Mensa members is not the same as sampling "superior IQs".

digression: My personal preference is to call IQ a testing quotient and not intelligence quotient--it's more specific and less qualitative, for "intelligence" is overloaded.
I am married to a current lambda program student. I also regularly interview and hire developers which I believe gives me a good sense of what the market wants.

Lambda is a good program with meaningful room for improvement. I’m excited for where they’ll be in a few more iterations and believe that they are worth it today.
I can tell you've never used the flash authoring tool or you wouldn't be making snarky remarks about this. Nobody is disputing that the runtime had problems and it was never good enough for prime-time on mobile on older devices. But a blanket ban on Flash was anti-competitive behavior that means Adobe never got the chance to prove it could work.
Sure, other people produced some OK electric cars, but they had no intention to actually market them, I.e. they aren’t “serious” considerations. They are compliance cars, and showpieces. Not an actual product line.

That’s started to change in recent years, but Tesla has been the only company to stand up and say “We make an electric car. It’s awesome. You should buy one.”

Everyone else is like “wellll, if you really want one of them, we have one in the back we can sell you. But have you seen our new SUVs? We have a hybrid!”
Unfortunately all Chinese citizens must comply under Chinese law with spying requests whenever their intelligence agencies come asking. That makes every Chinese citizen in your company a potential spy.

This is shitty on so many levels, and what is the appropriate response? Should Chinese citizens have lower access in US companies? At universities? Etc. That would be a terrible outcome.

We do need some kind of clear asylum option for any Chinese citizen who gets pressured into this. But that only goes so far when the state back home can punish your family members etc.
If a Chinese family goes from a 3rd-world life to a modern one, is that a relative loss for America? In sports, it would be.

Yes, we should be firm about our interests. No, we shouldn't be obsessed with some 'score' -- or if we are, maybe channel it towards fixing our own house.
I agree, but with CRA + JSX + React Hooks usercode is a lot terser. I tried React around 2014-2015 and hated it, now I really like it. Besides declarative programming, styled components has been a life changer for the better.

I'm still torn with Redux though, seems great for big projects/teams, but total overkill for small ones. I wrote a small alternative for my personal projects (https://github.com/franciscop/statux), what do you think about how it'd fare with your points? Looking for improvements, and I saw a bug once (though I haven't been able to reproduce and not 100% sure it was within the lib).
Found the 80 IQ who can't live with the fact that he's not special. IQ tests are based on this thing we invented a while ago, the SCIENTIFIC METHOD, there's no bias in it.
If you are a VC and want to fund a biotech startup, something in this promising crispr field, it makes more sense to invest into 100 ex-bigpharma-scientists, than into some smooth talkers that wear nice suits. The ideal situation is when founders are ex execs from big industry who actually know how stuff works, but VCs don't have this luxury of choice.
It's off topic, unsubstantive, and inflammatory. It takes the thread in an extraneous flamebait direction, just what the site guidelines ask people not to. This seems obvious. Am I missing something?

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

The question of airing dirty laundry immediately on someone's death is more complex. I agree that accusations against Bloom should not dominate discussion over the significant things he did. But they're not off topic, and the social injunction against speaking ill of the dead isn't shared by the whole community. We can argue reasonably about how to handle all of that. From my perspective, there aren't guidelines violations in those comments, but the various other things moderators do to encourage substantive discussion are applicable.

But I see no such nuance in "I feel like coming on strongly to women is something desirable now". That doesn't mean the GP was posting in bad faith, but it's the sort of post we have to moderate if we don't want the thread to burst into flames.
Carbon dating only works on a dead organism.
I never got my IQ tested or if I did I never learned the result or didn't care enough to remember it, but I did pretty well on standardized tests (e.g. great scores on SAT and ACT with no prep) and people were always saying I was smart. Usually it was something like this: I was obviously capable of doing the work, so why didn't I? I was an absolutely abysmal student all the way through college, though I did graduate.

To be honest I have been pretty successful despite that, but I don't feel like I'm as smart as people were always trying to convince me I was, or at least I have a different sort of intelligence from the sort of thing they were implying, and I definitely have a complex now where I don't like to expose myself to failure. I guess there was not much else to praise about me except for my apparent general intelligence, but I wish they'd come up with something. I was, I think, a friendly, creative, thoughtful kid? But that's not enough, is it?
Ghost Towers: The view from Iran's housing crisis
Sendgrid uses a mail transfer agent like Postfix or PowerMTA (I don't actually know what they use but I wouldn't be surprised if it was PowerMTA) to talk to receiving email servers via SMTP.

It's not hard to set up the technical bits to send email. You basically just need to run an MTA that knows how to stamp your outgoing messages with DKIM (a cryptographic signature). Your server has to have an SSL certificate. You also need SPF records set up that accurately reflect what servers are allowed to send on your behalf. DMARC records are helpful as well but not required. If you're only sending as yourself, that's basically it. You should be able to get mail through to the big receivers without much trouble (maybe having to mark "not spam" a few times to start).

The trick to maintaining your sending reputation as an individual is to not send email for anyone else and never send content that you don't control. Sendgrid sends for other people and they have people on staff who's full time job is to fight with the big receivers to maintain their reputation.
> Moles are not unique to China, it just happens that China currently happens to be the enemy.

The special position of China goes dramatically beyond that. I'm not sure you could downplay China's position more than what you just did. I'd almost confuse them for being Cuba by that description.

For all but a few countries, stealing data on how to build the next great airplane, does not enable them to actually build it.

The unique position of China is the combination of: vast resources and a very determined, centrally orchestrated, national will to pursue hegemony (now almost universally culturally regarded as their natural right).

Pretending a mole from China is similar to a mole from most any other nation, is pretty absurd. No other nation other than the US has the capabilities that China now possesses.

They have: extraordinary national wealth ($50x trillion in household wealth); extraordinary annual economic output; rather openly flaunted mercantilism; global leading manufacturing capabilities spanning nearly anything as needed and supply networks to match; a strong cohesive nationalism, supported by both the people (culture) and the leadership; very large, very potent tech capabilities, spanning everything from software to hardware, unrivaled by any nation other than the US; military spending that pretty well matches the US when you adjust for either PPP or just merely adjust for the difference in salaries; extremely large land & water territory, and all the benefits that go with it; nuclear weapons and military technology that by the day is getting close to parity with other elite militaries; an authoritarian system that is willing to entirely disregard human rights whenever it suits their national purpose at the time and a culture that heavily tolerates it; the ability to rapidly pursue epic scale, unmatched (eg Three Gorges) national construction and or engineering challenges at the snap of a CPC finger; and 18% of the world's population, for practical purposes an endless supply of relatively cheap labor of all types.

Show me a bunch of other nations like that. In all of human history you can count on one hand the number of nations even remotely comparable to where China is now at, their general position and capability vs peers in the world order. And they're not quite done rising in power yet.
no they are not caned. instead they are made to put on the high visibility vests with the words 'Corrective Work Order' and made to pick rubbish. But they are a rare occurrence. Usually only a composition fine.
So, I'm fairly sure I'm reasonably smart, and I am reasonably successful at life.

But I am somewhat hesitant to take an actual proper IQ test. Partly because I'm afraid I won't get a "good" score (given my expectations) and partly because I'm worried I'll let my score (whatever it is) distract me from actually achieving more things in life.
why do you think MENSA members are representative of people with high IQs in general? obviously you cannot extrapolate from them. there's a reason that accomplished people who would obviously get a high IQ score don't join, because the organization offers absolutely nothing of value. extreme selection bias at play.
That really depends on the supply chain, but many stores do occasionally need to throw out old milk so you really need to consider how long the sell by date gives them to work with. Then add 2 days before pasteurization though this can legally be up to 5 days or in theory as little as 24 hours.

Just remember they moved to Ultra High Pasteurization because 2 weeks was simply not long enough.
I wonder haw many pages on a typical website you'd need to browse to let Tencent de-anonymise that k-anonymous hash-prefix scheme?

If Tencent added ihatetheccp.com and ihatetheccp.com/about and ihatetheccp.com/news and ihatetheccp.com/blog and ihatetheccp.com/donate to their "unsafe page" list - I suspect the pattern of fetching of the full list of urls for some of those specific hash prefixes in a short time would allow Tencent (or Google) to make reasonably accurate assumptions about which site you're actually visiting.
Disappointing that Python sill has no support for a sorted container in its standard library, akin to C++ `set` or `map` classes.
The purpose is campaign financing.
To me, it's more about giving someone a chance to defend themselves. If you said the same thing to their face when they were alive, then fine. Continue to say it after they pass. But to all of a sudden have an opinion, or to air a grudge that you've never thought worthy of speaking about publicly before? That's cowardice.

And yes, I'm including victims who felt they had something to lose. Those are the claims someone has the greatest interest in defending themselves against.
Actually if you read the link you'd see one of the polar bear events the temperature was -8 degrees fahrenheit. I've watched similar events on TV where they actually cut a hole in the ice to begin the event.
Well, they're handing over the URL prefix hashes, which Tencent uses to look up the real URL list that it returns to Safari. Conveniently, Tencent can also log this hash/list identifier and use whatever algorithms it likes to build a user profile.

I doubt Apple is actually "handing over IP addresses" - rather it's a feature of connecting directly to Tencent via the IP internet. Though they could conceivably provide some sort of proxying, caching, and batching if they wanted to improve privacy.

Similarly Apple isn't "handing over the timestamps" - Tencent can just look at the clock.

Credible sources, please? Buzzfeed and a Wordpress blog don't lend much credence.
YouTube doesn't seem to be interested in hosting any content that isn't manufactured from a giant media corporation or just vapid clickbait entertainment. Just take a look at the trending tab to see what YouTube wants to promote: http://youtube.com/trending

It's worth noting that "Trending" is curated by YouTube itself, and is not an algorithmically determined set of videos.
Ehh I'm not exactly convinced of this. There's a lot more factors to consider than raw earning potential, and I'm a little more inclined to be suspicious of trying to redirect people away from what they actually like to do.
Need to do the following:

* Eliminate extension patents.
* Add dual sourcing requirements for drugs
* Add fiduciary responsibility to insurance co reqs
* Govt backed non-profit insurance corp
replacing Medicare, Medicaid, VA Ret medical
covering federal employees
* Single-account billing
* Published rates, rates between payees cannot be more
than 20% variance in a single calendar year.

Extension patents on medications are generally not great and minimal actual value, in fact, the entire Patent system largely deserves to be broken apart entirely.

Dual sourcing requirements would ensure licensing arrangements and at least some level of competition for drug companies.

Making insurance companies have a fiduciary responsibility in negotiating on client behalf would also help undo the effects of the profit caps from Obamacare without further checks in place.

Gov't non-profit covering those currently covered by federal programs and employees would add a baseline of competition without a profit incentive.

Not seeing a dozen different bills from one visit would help. Localized state billing agencies would help too, but not a fan of this, better than federal level here.

Eliminating the massive difference between insurance and private pay rates is another important step.

Combined would see massive pushback, but all are really needed to bring effective change to the medical care system as a whole, while not significantly effecting federal funding. I've given the above list time and time again, but nobody really seems to listen.
I agree with you (Someone from France doesn't have to worry about the modern version of China's 9 generation purge[1]), but as a Canadian it's very common to see the Chinese students here wildly supportive of the CCP, including harassing and attacking Hong Kong protesters. I imagine the ones that are outspoken against the CCP have a much harder time going abroad in the first place.

With a billion and a half citizens it's unlikely they lack for fanatics to exploit.

My understanding is that not getting married doesn't actually change much, since de-facto partners get a very similar set of power upon breakup?

I've heard horror stories in AU of guys getting kicked out of their own house by their ex-girlfriends after living together for a few months.
I am a bit skeptical about hashing URLs. Can malware sites just change few parameters and the hash will change right?
Since disorders were self-reported, I wonder if capacity or willingness to understand complex disorders was controlled.

For instance, a low intelligence person might consider autism to be "bad" and avoid considering it, or unable to afford doctors to tell him.

While a high intelligence person would recognize that the autistic spectrum has advantages and disadvantages, and would be more likely to accept it.
I had no idea the book was so much of a "thing", its name and principles are basically inexistent here (France and nearby countries). People either feel they "are" smart or not, and believe it's forever. More strikingly it's about logical intelligence (IQ), as if that was the major deciding factor for success (it's really not). Hence why I always try to mention Dr Dweck (especially for kids).

I trust you've done your research so this isn't a rebuttal — merely a surprised observation. You probably have too much of it in the US (and indeed too much of even a good thing can hurt) whereas we have way too little of it in the EU (at least the "Latin" world).

100% agreed on Mensa (we don't have that here but even I know it's almost a scam).
A machine will hold you, strictly, to the letter of the law.

A person might consider giving you a bit of wiggle room on the exact letter of the law, but can also ensure you comply with the spirit of the rules.
II -> IIx

SE -> SEx

...naming it the SE/30 was blatantly because they couldn't be consistent and add an x.
Not the OP but I wouldn't be surprised if they use both for different purposes. Postmark has extremely high delivery rates but is very particular about primarily sending transactional email like account updates, receipts, etc. They did recently add bulk API messages but it seems like a higher tier feature.

Mailgun is much more flexible about what they allow to go through their servers, but they have correspondingly lower delivery rates.
