I wouldn't call IQ a completely useless yardstick. Likely through examining all of the evidence regarding IQ and military performance, the United States government has come to the conclusion that an IQ below a certain level disqualifies the person for military service.

Unsurprisingly, US law is a bit complicated on this, but to summarize, it implies that an IQ below 81 (“tenth percentile”) is disqualifying, and dictates that persons with IQ's between 81 and 93 (“thirty-first percentile”) cannot comprise more than 20% of all enlistees.

I think of it in terms of energy gaining/draining, but I meant more from the "big 5" test perspective, as well as the other groups of personality tests you can take like DISC and Meters-Briggs.

In general I'm fairly skeptical of personality tests, beyond just intro/extro version, for the similar reason that a) I can test vastly different based on my mood and b) people tend to tie their self image to the results and you end up with a tail-wagging-dog situation.

It sort of makes you wonder what "self-organization from the bottom" is supposed to mean, if it's not some kind of control system. When entities specialize into particular roles in a system, there's a control relationship between them even without any central authority.

The cybernetic definition of control which covers self-organization in technology is the same one which includes self-organization in cells, brain structures, and even social groups.

In order to use deadly force, legally, you have to meet three requirements. A reasonable person must believe that the other person CAN hurt or kill them. They must have a reasonable belief that the other person WILL hurt or kill them. Finally that threat has to be imminent. You can't go somewhere else and shoot someone because they say they are going to come kill you and you know they have a gun.

You CANNOT use lethal force to protect property. However there is a special case called Castle Doctrine where a home invader automatically meets the "WILL" condition. A reasonable person can assume that a person breaking into their home WILL kill, kidnap, or maim them. The capability part is usually satisfied as well. However this is why you can't shoot through your front door when someone is trying to break in. You have no reasonable belief that they can hurt you if there is a physical barrier between you and them.

EDIT ADDENDUM: You totally CAN shoot someone in the back if they have invaded your home and you catch them unawares. (This isn't a good idea if you can't identify them as an intruder, but legally speaking you are in the clear) However if they are fleeing they are no longer an imminent threat.

I don't want to dismiss the entire article, but I think this points to possibility that there is some bad statistics going on here. I don't see how daily stock returns are proof of, or even related to, cognitive ability on a daily basis.

This is exactly the type of finding you'd expect with p-hacking.
They are. In my area of southern Ontario, I estimate that >80% of houses have a brick facade. Note that nearly all houses here are stick-framed. It's very common for visitors to comment on this, because it seems very specific to this part of the country.

I don't know of any structural brick houses here though.

Brick facades cost more up front, but they require zero maintenance and are very durable.
I dunno. A person like me might think it since we live in a society, we should share the burden of keeping it going. So 'following tax law' effectively designed to be abused with built-in exemptions is news. It may not be criminal, but I can't say it is right.

edit to clarify: and if it is not right then it is of general interest to society and thus it is news
This is generally a problem. We put people into these large categories like “liberal/conservative” or “introvert/extrovert” and then expect that to neatly explain a whole range of behaviors and preferences. In reality people rarely fall completely into these categories.

>does not make the test itself invalid for comparison across cultures

If you can't accurately quantify the cultural component, then yes it does.

>Claims that basic pattern recognition is somehow not a valid means of assessment across cultures are dubious at best.

Basic pattern recognition isn't the only thing that's being measured--that's the problem. Even something as simple as how often a student has been exposed to a matrix of rows and columns has an impact on performance. Repeated exposure to similar tests also increases performance.

To this day I have zero regrets with getting the XM2.

"Dark data" almost as catchy as "Dark Matter"
This infographic is intentionally misleading. The author is adjusting the radius of the circle based on the export numbers, not the area.

For example, according to the rendered source code, America for 2018 has a radius of 75.05, Germany has a radius of 9.12, for a ratio of 8.22. From the data[0], America has a value of 10508, Germany has a value of 1277, for a ratio of 8.22.

However, since this is the radius, the area of America's big red dot is 17671, while the area of Germany's is 261, for a ratio of 67.7, or sqrt(8.22).

> The linked article mentions noise

I guess so.
It should be tiered, which it is but not to the degree that it sound.

But really the problem is businesses and especially farmers growing non-essential crops, especially in California. The drought we experienced over the last several years was mainly exacerbated by farmers who were growing non-essential but expensive crops like almonds. I would rather the almond farmers go bankrupt than have them spend 1 gallon per almond in water.

Businesses should pay more for water, and if it causes inflation in prices, maybe that's okay if the cost of almonds double. The amount of money that Nestle pays to bottle water for free is far too low. If it drives bottled water out of service because the costs are too high, I also think that's okay.

3 - A TBM has a bunch of cutters on the front; big blades that cut through rock and whatever else they run into. Since they're cutting through rock, they wear out pretty quickly, so they routinely have to stop the machine and send workers up to the front to replace those tools. The site is frequently pressurized to prevent the tunnel from flooding, so the workers have to go through a pressurization chamber before they can get to work, slowing the process down.

That maintenance is needed because of how much material has to be cut, not by how long it's sitting there, so going faster means going through more material and wearing down the tools faster. You'd have the same total amount of time spent maintaining it (assuming going faster doesn't wear the tools down even faster, which is iffy). So just digging faster runs into Amdahl's law; you speed up a portion of the process but the total gains are less because the other parts are fixed.

(And, as others have said, yes there's a faster way; cut and cover.)

I'd almost compare it to gender. Yes there's a spectrum, but the outer areas are very lumpy. In the case of sensitivity to office noise, the only aspect I see as intersecting with extro/intro traits would be chitchat. Everything else seems like it would come down to distractibility level, which I don't think is tied to those traits at all.

I'm just glad so many managers are cool with responsible use of headphones & noise cancellation approaches these days. Certain tasks simply require more focus.

Its excellent that attention is drawn to this, but its not really fulfilling the potential.

Its not interactive like https://www.gapminder.org/tools/ and it doesn't show where the arms are going, and what percentage is brought and which is aid etc.

What would be really impressive is an interactive timeline map with arrows showing production/consumption of aid and arms. Who is giving aid, who is giving weapons, and to whom?

I think that would be interesting to see because I think we all have some suspicions and preconceived ideas in that direction.

ADDED: I have discovered that gapminder has several "Defense and Arms Trade" dimensions.

This is the gapminder interactive timeline for the same data as the OP site is showing? https://www.gapminder.org/tools/#$state$time$value=1960;&mar...

For another example, here is arms exports vs imports. Those on the vertical are producers, those on the horizontal are consumers (of foreign weaponry):

Minimizing the incidence of digitally-enabled child abuse is not a winning strategy for protecting our right to use strong encryption.

For one thing, it puts you in the position of defining what incidence of child abuse is low enough to be somehow acceptable. Is the Internet helping one person to abuse a child? Any normal person would say that even one is unacceptable.

For another thing, it can easily make you look like an unserious fool because the people you're arguing with--law enforcement--are going to know way more than you do about the actual incidence of these particular crimes. They are privy to every ongoing investigation, and are generally not legally permitted to tell you about them.

We don't need to doubt the good faith of law enforcement--at least on this issue of child abuse--to advocate against encryption backdoors.

Encryption backdoors are a bad idea because they can be later abused or hacked, causing untold harm.

And we get to use strong encryption for the same reason we get to deny the government placing cameras in our houses. We get strong encryption for the same reason we get to be considered innocent until proven guilty. Efficacy or efficiency for law enforcement is not enough, and should not be enough, to supersede our rights to privacy, expression, assembly, etc.

It would continue to seem like the argument here is that we should want corporations to rebut NYT articles in a public forum, which I continue to disagree with, regardless of what the argument is.

While we should hold the "truth" to account, open debate cannot be the way to deal with this at every impasse. FedEx is more than welcome to write an article, post a video, or do anything else to rebut the article published by the NYT, but instead has chosen a narrow path in which they can surprise the other party in person with attacks. I fail to understand why open debate is the best way to solve this; at the very least, I don't know where the time to watch these debates about...

The common problem with supporting old software and tools is that the poor bastard who maintains it is expected to watch all of their coworkers get to use new tools and fix old problems and they get nothing.

It's entirely possible they aren't even backporting support software like the build tools.

When you are supporting a large number of old versions, it becomes difficult to keep all the quirks and variance straight. On one team where we were only talking about supporting about 4 versions, and were already seeing friction. I was stumping for splitting up the responsibilities across multiple engineers, so that everyone was responsible for knowing the current version, and only one old version, but I don't think the other people saw the trap I was trying to route us around.

When did this feature come into the app? 1.2? 1.3? 2.0? I dunno, but I know it was after 'my' version (1.1).
