Just keep studying. You probably need to put more effort, of course, don't over do it, but don't waste your time with crap.

I'm one of the slowest learners I know of, but I never give up. I've actually have developed a lot of patience to look at the same thing 100 times until I learn.

I can speak a few languages, code in many languages, moved abroad etc. We have so much time to learn in our lives. If we never stop learning, we can definitely be a tower of knowledge, no matter how big our "learning rate" is.

If you know how compounding interest work, you know that TIME is a more important factor than the INTEREST, as TIME makes things exponential. It might sound a bit cliche and cheap, but don't doubt yourself. Be the one that puts the biggest effort to compensate that. Don't waste your life thinking that you aren't good or fit for something.

If your work is too demanding and nobody fired you, that is fine. Keep going, more effort. If somebody decides to fire you for that reason, there is always less demanding work, you can keep studying and come back to your position and even achieve more later. As long as in the end you can take enough calories and don't die to sickness/violence(which you can't control very well) if you keep putting time into your own improvement you will make it.

The truth is that most people I know, after their 30s, they don't want to learn anymore at all, or they don't even feel that they need to, or that they aren't competent, they are all on auto-pilot. From the 30s to the 70s+ you have most of the people that way and no matter how slow you are to learn, if you just take it seriously, I bet you will be miles away from them.
How would you even know that? Assuming you weren't high up in HR?
No. You entered into an agreement with your employer and the US government when you were hired. You gave them permission by consenting to work within the system and you probably filled out some sort of form with a W in front of it.

You may work outside of the system.
The election system itself ensures that voters' opinions on most specific governance issues are entirely ignored.

Since citizens vote for only one out of a very restricted pool of candidates, every five years, the rational decision is to only consider the candidates' stance on topics directly affecting one's material well-being (so mostly finance/employment-related decisions).

Unless voters are very prosperous, secondary quality-of-life decisions like surveillance are systematically pushed aside in general elections, and that regardless of their education level.
If you are present for a murder and you do nothing to either prevent it or report it, then yes, you are complicit in the murder.
I could write a novel about this. My father was exposed to and handled Agent Orange in Vietnam. An uncle, as well. My uncle passed in 2007, riddled with cancers, fighting the VA every step of the way. That man served nearly 35 years before retiring. Their generation coined the phrase "Delay, deny, and hope that we die." due to their experiences with the VA.

I decided not to be a helpless by-stander when it was my fathers time to contend with the VA. I took nearly 3 years off of my life and moved back home to help him. He was eventually able to successfully obtain a disability rating and was able to get prior/existing health issues linked to his exposure, which secured disability back pay to the 90s. All of this, his experience and the back pay, specifically, is something of an outlier, as we understand it. As we understand it, most folks don't have the resources to navigate the system successfully. It wasn't a massive financial windfall, but it meant that my parents future was financially secure (their finances were in ruins by the mid-00s) and once he was mobile again, with his health issues under control and with an effective management plan in place, I was able to get back on with my own life.

There are also inter-generational effects with Agent Orange, but they're not very well understood (to my knowledge). That frightens me today, especially now that I've had my own children. There's a whole other dynamic there, too, in that I also served, and that I've been exposed to burn pits and a lot of diesel fumes and high RF environments and some solvents and etc... I feel like it's an inevitability in my own life's story that I'll eventually have to contend with the VA, as well.
I think it's fairly clear the commenter meant that they're "illegal immigrants," which approriately describes people that immigrated illegally. While the abbreviated colloquial form may not be strictly accurate on its own, it's quite reasonable to assume the full form given the context.

The issue is not the average, but the extremes. When you have two identical distribution curves but one's center is shifted, the effect on the ends of the distributions are exaggerated.

A standard deviation increase in the average leads to a huge difference in demographics at the extremes. The population with lower mean will have the majority of the lower tail of the distribution, and the the other population will dominate the upper tail. In the highest 1% they will appear enormously over-represented.

In the middle is where it matters least, because near average people for both populations might have very similar iqs.

For a paper on the issue of specifically ashkenazi (rather than 'jewish') IQ I recommend this one from the University of Utah:

http://web.mit.edu/fustflum/documents/papers/AshkenaziIQ.jbi...

Note the increased IQ is specifically for askenazi jews, as opposed to say sephardic jews. The paper identifies
historical social issues that would make selection for intelligence a strong factor in ashkenazi history, explores possible genetic causes identified through unique mutations not present in adjacent populations, and goes into depth on IQ and IQ heritability.

I hope you find it interesting. I think its scientific enough that few people should find it controversial, except those who believe that IQ is not a useful measurement of intelligence, which I don't think is an opinion you share given your previous posts.

The controversial part would be Jordan B Peterson talking about it here:

Yeah, but it's never "Paid for by Oil Companies Trying to Pollute the Environment". It's always some meaningless name that serves the underlying cause, like "Paid for by Citizens Concerned About Jobs"

In 100% of cases where I've known a small company that got bought by a much bigger company, this has occurred. It's amazing anyone still believes that their small company can get bought and somehow they'll be able to preserve (what they think is) their "company culture".
I'm not saying it's a good or bad thing. I'm just explaining why they've setup a sovereign fund and why reducing taxes instead doesn't always make sense. And the point is that Norway is not funded by the oil directly, they're funded by the investment returns of the oil. They don't touch the principal. I agree the situation is very different from the US. I was just pointing out the parallel wasn't the US starting to raise taxes to setup a fund, the parallel would be selling some other asset the US government already does own.

In usual accounting terms revenue has clear rules. If you sell long-term assets for the same value you had on your balance sheet already you record nothing in your income statement. You only record a gain or loss if the sale value is different from the book value, and even that goes straight to the bottom line and is not top-line revenue. Norway's oil is a long-term asset so converting it to cash is not revenue in the normal accounting sense.

If we ever invent time travel that will mean that, relatively speaking, we all live forever. That would also mean that the universe is continually recording every single instance of time.

If I were a sci-fi author I would write that the reason the universe is expanding and accelerating is to record all of the new data being created. Just like a needle writing on a record. To record more data it needs to move the needle farther away from the center. And the farther away from the center it moves the faster the needle, relative to the disc, moves.
So let's assume that the universe is infinite in extent, and everything which can happen, does happen, infinite times. That means you are not the only "you" in the Universe.

You may now commit suicide, safe in the knowledge that it doesn't matter, because there's no difference between the current you and the distant you.

Unless you're now going to change tack and say it only counts if you're in each other's Light cone, and have seen each other, and understand the cloning machine's workings, and trust it was built correctly, and an endless amount of other procrastinating which proves that it does matter to you which one dies, and no matter what words you type, your behavior will show that you recognize a stark difference between "you" and "someone else".

Clearly a condition "I know they exist" doesn't change whether you two are the same person or not, so that can't be an important part of it.

> it's highly unlikely they're illegals

I consider 'illegals' to be a derogatory term used by racists (whether they think they are racist is another matter)

Did you drive a car today? Did you speed? If so that is an illegal activity so maybe you are also an 'illegal'?

Maybe I am way off base? I should probably go hug a tree or something.

Bush started Guantanamo as an extrajudicial prison and stocked it full of prisoners. Obama managed to release many of those prisoners and tried (and failed) to shut it down.

Obama got plenty of criticism from the left for things like drone strikes, extrajudicial killings, deportations, the intervention in Libya, the weakness of Obamacare and TPP to name a few. Most of this was during his second term (when that massive group of people I keep mentioning started becoming politically active).

Some conferences are in locations with restricted accommodation facilities, and if you don’t specify a roommate, you are paired with someone of your gender.

So that’s why the gender might be needed.

As far as the preferred pronouns are concerned, I see them as something with heavy political connotations. No one who is not hard left believes in the necessity of the xir pronoun, and of course there are trans people also among the right!

So, to me it’s completely acceptable that something so controversial is not included.
$35B valuation being run like a $300K company, if that. There is no way AirBnB is a legitimate company. They take in money that may or may not be the result of actual crimes, particularly bait and switch and fraud, and the company has ensured there is no way to know whether any reservation is legit.
Thanks for the good overview. It's exactly what I thought: a mix and match of different incentives that makes it pretty much impossible to change the current system.
Fact of the matter is: you're going to have to support the old, less able people, whether you want it or not. You don't get to just not pay for it, not at any kind of a macro scale.

OTOH if the population isn't growing and economy is contracting as a result, you could find yourself paying a lot more than you do now. Like, potentially, several times the amount.

And all of those people likely had 100% confidence that, were it necessary, the government would take power from whatever president those people considered to be Hitler. And what's worse, they would have applauded that president's removal.

Don't misunderstand, I see the dynamic you see. At one time, I even shared your confusion with its dichotomous nature. Then I figured out that people trust the government and military far more than they trust politicians.

Which was a concerning realization, and also, sadly, entirely understandable.

I'm not going to flag you but I think you're drawing the wrong conclusions.

I don't have the numbers but I would be very surprised if the majority of Israeli cyber-ops ex-military sells spyware to authoritarian regimes. A few did do that but I don't think it's justified to blame the military service and whatnot for this.

Another thing to remember is that an Italian company also sold spyware to authoritarian regimes. The things they did was really similar to the Israeli one. Same excuses, same pr, same blabla... but without the compulsory military service and whatever reasons you listed.
If you intend to send your child to college then the cost per child is very high. If you don't then the marginal cost per child is very low. Another consideration is whether the mother works and if it's possible for her to keep taking time from work every few years to have additional children. One thing I notice about large families is that they usually do not pay for their children's college education.
TLDR - marginal cost per child increases in developed countries.
I wrote something similar in C++, completely compile time that disappears at runtime: https://www.fluentcpp.com/2019/09/24/expressive-code-for-sta...

Although the language itself doesn't guarantee that the value is not used again after a move, good static analyzers will provide a warning in that case, so it can still be safely used.
I'm building a relational lang (that could feel like a in memory db) and explored the idea of using a columnar backed structures.

How well could be apply the same ideas for in-memory processing?

If I understand correctly, you have something alike:

- Store each column on a array of N=1000
- Store the group of columns in pages, with metadata of ranges of keys to locate rows in the adequate page

My Grandfather was killed by the stuff too. He had a condition that wasn't one of the conditions that the VA established as linked to it. I've found some other cases online of other service members that had what he had. The other game the VA plays is they'll dispute you were ever even exposed to it in the first place.

> If you believe that illegally crossing a border is not a crime

This is the first step for refugee seekers. It's not a crime, it's an imaginary line in the sand, and, if you actually cared so much for the sanctity of these imaginary lines, you'd sooner be seeking to decolonize to atone for the genocide and plunder of our settler ancestors. But, hey, that'd be a consistent position, and we can't have that getting in the way of hoarding our stolen wealth.
There are certainly incredible situations with happy endings where ATC has made suggestions or gotten someone with experience in a type on the radio.

But I could imagine a company contemplating building the remote-pilot-for-emergencies service might be scared off by potential liability. Families of pilots killed in GA accidents routinely sue aircraft and engine manufacturers even when the FAA determines the cause to be pilot error.
> Behaves differently

For me, lots of string and substring operations throw NotImplemented exceptions on Linux, when they just work on Mac. This kinda sucks because there’s no compiletime or linttime warning for this.
This is what I mean by updates due to C-Store warehouse engines (Redshift, BigQuery, Snowflake, etc). It's not just that the cloud providers are happy to rent you more space - it's also that they're C-Store and because of that redundancy in columns is well compressed automatically.

We try to explain some of that here - https://dataschool.com/data-modeling-101/row-vs-column-orien...

And Fivetran did a great benchmarking of it here - https://fivetran.com/blog/obt-star-schema

The architecture of the C-Store warehouses often removes the benefits of materialized views. This is why for a very long time Redshift didn't even support them - they insisted they weren't needed as they didn't improve performance over regular redshift significantly.
If the conditions of imprisonment are all that matter then the Japanese internment wasn't that big of a deal, they were treated quite well and humanely and in relatively good living conditions. But of course that's not the point. The point is a group of people were persecuted arbitrarily by their government for belonging to an ethnic group, something held today as universally reprehensible. You are using loaded language to capitalize on this connection and that is what's outrageous. That is _the_ reason you are using this term "concentration camp", and it just makes you look ridiculous to anyone that is still applying logic to the situation and not just engaging in hyperbole to make an emotional appeal.
Especially the commands were invoked command_name(argv, argc) and the thing was just like a CS 101 C program. Dead simple, and as they mentioned just used to orchestrate the fast stuff. You shouldn't make a command block a long time, but you could grab a handle to the output destination and set it up to stream output there from the C.

In the context of the American West generally (Colorado, West Texas, Montana, and all points west) it's really not that exceptional. The entire terrain and ecology are strongly molded by fire.

> Human rights abuses are not politics though.

They absolutely are political. The entire concept of human rights is political. There's a widespread consensus in many, many countries that they are worth protecting, but there's nothing magical or special about human rights that gives them any power beyond any other political decision.
