I've observed that high IQ people who tend to function well — certainly not a given — are extremely disciplined.

Basically as I see it, using every bit of rational intelligence to tame and condition the rest of their being (emotions, health, social, will, etc), develop all the other forms of intelligence.

The 'dark path' for most seems to be an ironic world view, which leads to a sarcastic mindset and ultimately nihilism if not contained. Hence a major lifelong requirement is to really learn what self-love means.

I have no idea what my IQ is, I just feel it's too much or too little for my own sake; case in point I finally stopped hating myself and learned self love at 34. Changed my life, like step 1 of a major transformation.

The only recommendation I'm certain helps everyone is Stoicism.

There's got to be some adaptive function for all these things.

If some sort of signal is passed down the generations, I bet that mechanism was honed by natural selection, because it was probably useful, in the grand scheme of things, to do so.

Milk can legally be up to 48 hours old before it it’s picked up from the farm. With ever other day pickups being very common and multiple milking per day some get’s close to that. It can then sit at the factory for another 72 hours before pasteurization though this uncommon. It then varies though Ultra High Temperature (UHT) gives you up to 70 days at this point.

That’s the extreme which would be very unusual, but buying milk that’s ‘only’ 2 week old milk is reasonably common. All it takes is knowing how long the sell by date is after pasteurization and another ~1-2 days to get to that point and you can find how old this stuff is.
Having to go to speciality bakeries to get good bread is a different thing than just having it available in every corner market and whatever the bodega equivalent is.
I agree, bearing in mind that to decide is a bit more substantial than just saying it or thinking it - it's an interaction between your thoughts and your actions and everything. I'd say it more as you create your meaning - it might involve things outside of yourself or it might be more individualistic, but it's not arbitrary, and you can have incorrect beliefs about the meaning you are deciding on/creating.
The use of language extends beyond smart/dumb and includes concepts of good/bad.

When I had ambitions for general interest blogging, I had an article kicking around in my head on the dangers of being a superlative tree.

Prometheus was the oldest tree, killed by a core sample.

Tree of Ténéré, the most isolated tree in the world, felled by a drunk driver. [1]

The Senator, the biggest cypress in the world was lit afire by an arsonist. [2]

Kiidk'yaas, a rare golden spruce, was felled by someone protesting logging. [3]

I also remember reading about the 2nd (largest, tallest, widest?) tree in the world being lit alight by someone smoking meth in its branches, but I can't find the source or name.

I could get behind a real fix to English pronouns that takes gender completely out of it and fixes the problem of ambiguity when you have more than one pronoun in a sentence.

My proposal would be:

1. "he" becomes gender neutral, and always refers to the first person in the sentence.

2. "she" becomes gender neutral, and always refers to the second person in the sentence. You can think if it as standing for "second he".

3. "tehe" is a gender neutral pronoun that always refers to the third person in the sentence. Think of it is standing for "tertiary he".

4. "quhe", "pehe", "hehe" are the 4th, 5th, and 6th persons ("quad he", "penta he" and "hex he"). If your sentence has more than six persons, rewrite the damn thing.

For example, in the sentence "Alice, Bob, and Carol took his car, she drove, and tehe paid for the gas", they took Alice's car, Bob drove, and Carol paid for the gas.

If they took Bob's car, Carol drove, and Alice paid, that would be "Alice, Bob, and Carol took her car, tehe drove, and he paid for the gas".

I'm confused by your main point. Do you mean, as opposed to other foreign workers and students on temporary work/student visas, who can somehow migrate their friends and family over and therefore be subject to less coercion?
Article very soft and studies as well. The bottom line is this:

Epigenetics is a thing and you need to be aware of it. And if you intend to conceive, you are doing your kid a disservice by not being in peak physical condition when you do so.
I wonder whether the cause is not high IQ per se, but the difference between your IQ and your peers, siblings, parents.

For many things it makes you less understandable (and vice versa) and this is necessarily going to have a socially ostracising effect.

Which then of course leads to anxiety, and thence mood disorders.
I notice all the people I know who naturally stay in good shape tend to eat really simple lunches most of the time. I’m not sure if it’s just less temptation to overeat when you have the same stuff every day or if they’re just wired to get less enjoyment out of food and are less prone to overeating as a result.

> executive functioning points (is there such a thing?)

Conscientiousness, a factor in the Five Factor Model of personality, measures something like this. Specifically, the aspect of Industriousness.

However, it's very hard to measure, because virtually any test that measures a person's planning ability almost invariably ends up measuring IQ instead. Basically, the best way to test this right now is to ask a bunch of people around you how "hard working" you are and average the results. Still, it's accurate enough to be reasonably predictive of a lot of interesting phenomena.

I've tried a lot of things to improve my level of organization and productivity with...modest success. Some things that (I think) have helped me:

- Seek out and take on responsibility (work, family, community, etc.) It's painful adjusting at first, but I get used to it and the satisfaction of being depended upon is motivating.

- When faced with a stressful level of responsibility, remember that you will live through it. I used to procrastinate like mad because of a fear of failure. Keeping that thought in mind ("I will live through this") calmed my nerves somewhat. Now I still worry, and still procrastinate, but it's not as bad.

- Write down what you want your life to be like in 1, 3, 5, and maybe even 10 years. Come back to it every now and then. I did this 5 years ago, and while I haven't achieved everything, I've achieved some of what I wanted. I'll take it as a victory.
I wonder how much of their hacking efforts have yielded information that is 'salted'. Misinformation that will set them back years.
React and it's cousin in tow, Redux put food on my table. But like a famous HN comment said: how many startups have been burn out due to the complexity of wiring up those two powerful tools. I think frankly, when comparing frontend frameworks the benchmarks should be 1. lines of code, since that determines delivery 2. ease of maintenance as that enables easy to add new features 3. how fast the app executes on the customers device. And frankly React + Redux results in writing a lot of code
Sagas are an incredibly powerful tool... and 95% of Redux apps don't need them. Most apps should stick with thunks until they truly have a need for very complex async logic.

Every decision, on any basis, to differentiate between candidates is discrimination.

Whether it's illegal discrimination is another question (discrimination against people mentioning MENSA membership on applications probably has some measurable differential impact by race or some other protected class, and so could easily, without the evidence necessary to demonstrate business necessity and overcome the presumption of illegality, constitute adverse impact discrimination, but is not otherwise directly prohibited in US employment anti-discrimination law.)

On the other hand, from your description, it does sound a decision that was more self-indulgent than made in faithful service of your employer, which at a minimum is unprofessional in hiring, even if it manages to avoid being illegal.
All of these offerings from Uber appear to exist solely for pumping up the stock price. The flying taxis thing is, quite obviously, not going to happen for the reasons you say, and a number of other reasons (proof of flight worthiness will require very significant testing time).

It's not really worth taking any of these ideas seriously. All they illustrate is that Uber doesn't believe their core business is viable.
I would actually like to look at this dataset - my anecdotal experience is that ex-[Google|Twitter|Paypal|Facebook|Uber] etc. find it easier to get funding but their outcomes may be no different

It would have to be based on valuation built or ROI rather than outcomes becuase we all know the top-VCs almost always find a home for even their failed startups and PR it as a win

It’s a great idea. Taco Bell on wheels, eight ingredients or whatever.

I went to a McDonalds today and the line of cars in the drive-thru was out of the lot. I went inside, and there was no line. People will go to lengths to not leave their bubble (in this case, their cars). A fast food company could make a killing if they can get the menu/vehicle right.

While I agree with spanning it over six+ hours, you might be surprised at the activity level in shopping centers at midnight. Once upon a time, I worked nightshift at walmart stocking shelves- on my days off, I'd still have to be awake all night to maintain a sleep schedule. To retain my sanity, I'd shop at other grocery stores so it didn't feel like I lived at walmart, and I was pretty surprised by how many shoppers were out and about at 1 and 2 am at stores like Ridley's or Smith's.

You can do as you like, but for me it is a decent heuristic to not speak ill of the dead.

I, personally, really don’t enjoy reading about people using someone’s death or funeral as a platform for maligning their life, regardless of the accuracy and poignancy of the claims.

Would you bring up this discussion in front of a grieving family member? Do you think it impossible someone already in pain might read what is said on the internet?

There’s a concept I like that even the bitterest of enemies allow the dead to be buried in peace.
I've gone cliff jumping at Saint Mary's Glacier several times, and the cold shock is real. Even with all the adrenaline, hitting the water punches the breath right out. Once the spasms pass, it's really not too bad, and honestly quite fun.

That being said, if you were a weak swimmer or prone to panic, it could go very badly very quickly. Lots of respect to a guy doing it in essentially open ocean, with the added difficulty staying on course and extreme variability in conditions.
Fluid Lensing: Seeing Through the Ocean’s Surface
Ask HN: Does anyone run Kubernetes without resource limits?
It's a weird question, but we've been using k8s for about a year at my job, and for some reason people think it's OK to not specify resource limits. So most jobs are running without limits.

Coincidentally, we have a never-ending stream of issues: pods dying OOM, critical k8s processes dying OOM (making nodes unstable), pods stuck in "Terminating" for days, load balancer trying to send request to an already killed pod, network randomly slowing down, and so on. I strongly suspect most of them is related to the lack of resource limit: in particular, memory limit. But apparently I'm the minority.

This can't be normal, right? Is it normal to run jobs without resource limit, or to have so many issues running k8s?
Pretty incredible, I had never heard of this exploit.
i second this. i just shipped what i started working on during the april hackathon, and it’s been great to keep in touch with people on the channel. awesome event, and great food!

> If they are known to cause retardation, then they are known to have impact on cognition. That statement was intentionally framed as neutrally as possible.

And there is a difference between an allele present in the majority of the population which lowers the IQ and one which is present in a minority and raises IQ. A Mendelian mutation in <1% of the population which lowers your IQ by 10 points is not the same thing as a mutation which raises your IQ by 10 points. The former certainly do exist. The latter currently do not.

> I'm currently failing to find the source I know I saw not terribly long ago linking some genetic disorder to higher IQs and to altered brain stuff of some sort. I don't have the time to keep digging for it.

I'll give you a hint, you won't find it, and if you do, it'll be a candidate-gene paper from the '00s where the p-values are just barely south of 0.05, not remotely close to genome-wide statistical-significance, and has never been validated since even in the exome GWASes which should have found it.

> But, here's a study of people with CF -- a common genetic disorder in the Jewish community -- that says, in essence "Lower IQ scores in this population can be linked to negative health impacts and other negative factors," yet seems to list the average IQ for this group of 89 very, very, deathly ill patients as 102.5. Which sort of implies to me that if they weren't basically dying from their disorder, they would be far above average intelligence.

You know who else has above average intelligence? Ashkenazi Jews. Including the ones without CF. And it's higher than 102.5.
You'd think that someone with an IQ of 139 would be able to see why the example of his failure to capitalize on his own intelligence doesn't discount the value of IQ as a measurement of general intelligence.
Good response. This usage in Rust procedural macros boils down to providing flexibility while improving speed and security.

One thing I'd add is that WASM has a few unique advantages compared to other options, which in this case would be shipping a Rust interpreter or using another VM like JVM. Building a Rust interpreter would be a lot of effort to build and maintain, while WASM already has tool-chain support due to it's adoption in browsers. Something like JVM bytecode works differently enough that it's not a standard "ISA" style target in LLVM or GCC tool-chains. WASM is also significantly lighter than many other language specific VM's, provides a decent default sandbox, and is performant enough.

Another potential usage which would be interesting is using WASM in interpreted languages to provide more performant modules/plugins while providing better security/ease of use. Elixir, Ruby, and Python all use native (C) modules for performance, but often are difficult to compile. Being able to precompile modules to WASM would provide better memory safety and be easier to use.
Before the Susan fowler thing they had a rule that you had 30 days to exercise your options after you leave or separate as they called it. Since the company's value went up so much most people couldn't afford to pay the tax and because it was private you couldn't sell it (employee lock out is in November). Lots of people were handcuffed because of this, and I know a few that walked away. After the Susan Fowler thing they changed the option thing to like 7 years.

I think they moved to RSU's in mid 2015 or 16.

Ha, this is absolutely true, especially in more traditional companies dominated by a patrician management.

I still wonder what happened to Randall Stephenson when AT&T decided to buy DirecTV for $67B in 2014. What could only be described as thinking completely in an isolated bubble. It seems that the survival of traditional companies are based on the sheer incompetence of competitors to continue allow the swallowing up of disaster after disaster committed by the management.
I wonder if that high score had a negative effect on you somehow by making you feel like you were somehow not living up to it.

In any case I wish you well. I have some similarities in my background including high scores, isolation, and depression, and trust me it can get better.
“Being wealthy” is a rough proxy for “prioritizing wealth over other things” and therefore the existence of so many wealthy married people suggests marriage is not an impediment to wealth.
I think that intelligence tends to make high IQ individuals lazy, for lack of an other word, and afraid to try things that can't be easily mastered.

I remember in school understanding and mastering subjects without much trouble and work but once a subject got too hard it was time to move to something else. So for most of my life that has been my method of operating. Unfortunately,for me, that makes it impossible to get far in any career.

Hard work and the ability to work through adversity is what's needed for a successful life. I wish school and parents would stop using IQ as a measure for future success. It's not a good predictor.
> Anyway, what I'm trying to say is IQ is bullshit, and discipline, social skills, and connections are priceless.

Had the same experience, except it was a pool in one of the Dakota's. I could not move, and it was completely unexpected. I recovered in a few seconds and I'm sure the pool ladder is the only reason I got out without needing rescue.
A more interesting question I think is why it would stop you from getting a screen full of garbage if it's at the second-to-last byte? If it were at the second byte, or if one read files from the end to the beginning then OK, but I doubt that's the case.
