Yes, it's called evolutionary psychology and it is (to paint with a broad brush that doesn't accurately describe everyone researching related concepts) bullshit.
This comment seems to be perfectly emblematic of demonizing a target, rather than even attempting to take a more balanced approach (such as original comment). Does the next comment then deify Google, until the next one demonizes them yet again? That's the problem with binary criticism.
Shared trauma, childhood upbringing, and many other factors have a much higher correlation to successful relationships than merely attraction.

Attachment Theory attempts to explain why certain relationships are better than others which is dependent on how secure or insecure each partner is with regard to attachment. For example, if both parties are classified as having “secure attachment”, they may feel distress when their partner leaves them for say a long work trip but they’re able to compose themselves and control those worries. That sort of relationship would be said to have a higher chance of survival than two partners who are both “anxious-ambivalent attached” because in this case, the parties would instead have strong fear or worry of rejection by their partner, higher dependency on each other, and less likely to be comfortable being alone. None of those elements rest solely on the basis of attraction. This type of behavior stems from being a witness to conflicting figures in their life (e.g. divorced parents, unsafe family habitat, etc.)
The plan for containers on Solaris, after rejecting injecting libc from the host, was to have users rebuild all containers after OS upgrade.

What containers are you referring to? Because this is definitely not how Zones work on Solaris.

There are two types of Zones in Solaris 11; "Kernel Zones" which run their own independent version of Solaris and "non-global Zones" which are automatically kept at the same version as the host.

Windows has to virtualise containers with an incompatible OS version.

Not as far as I'm aware. Windows Sandboxes don't work that way nor do other technologies I'm aware of. What are you referring to?
We don't think it's necessary to preserve everything that's ever spoken verbally. We don't lament that everyday conversation is ephemeral.

People are conflating internet discussion content with written content because it's stored as text. Whereas the more legitimate comparison is to verbal communication.
The issue is that unlike windows unices have never enforced this.

That's not true; Solaris and I suspect other *nixes of the past made it explicitly clear that libc was the interface for userland, not the kernel.
I think that science works best if we marry two mindsets: the joy of seeing something novel, and the suspicion of seeing something too good to be true. They don’t have to be present in equal measure for every article, and while I wouldn’t word it the same way as the parent, I appreciate the healthy skepticism on this topic.
> Templates are duck typing at C++ compile time (which is their runtime).

That description only applies of you venture into the dark realm of template metaprogramming, and anyone who ventures into those lands is wise enough to understand that the tool is not the one to blame if one decides to abuse a feature to apply it in a way it was not (initially) designed to be used.
In the case of cities like NY, London, Amsterdam, San Francisco and the like yes, but not necessary overnight, maybe take a year or so. My point is not that if Mcdonalds only where to raise its wages, but all Mcdonalds like companies. Also,it is not the case either that McDonald is a monopolist in fast food. If it were I could understand that they could have room to maneuver and pay lower salaries. But is not the case for them and neither for the overwhelming share of companies.
If you're quoting someone you should indicate that. If you're quoting Bryan MacDonald well I think you should validate it pretty carefully. And if you are Bryan MacDonald...well I'm not surprised how you turned out Bryan.

Why would it be easier or more efficient to program a suit to direct a human to perform a specific operation than program a robot to perform the same operation?

The problem here is that you measure your productivity in revenue instead of something like products per hour. This is not inherently wrong, but then the benchmark is keeping your revenue by not loosing it to your competitor, who is also automating.

Also, if your market isn't already saturated, you can even sell more of your product without dropping the price. It really boils down to the fact that selling is what brings money, not producing.
The downside of such adversarial interoperability is that it reduces security, because the scrapping systems need the user's credentials to login. I'm not going to give any third party my banking credentials, and I have 2FA turned on every site as well.

I suppose if the scrapping is done by the user's browser via say, a timed service worker or something, and the credentials never leave the user's browser, it would be ok, but the idea of a bank of headless (IE!) browsers with a database of millions of users bank credentials sends a shudder down my spine.
I'm not sure I follow the causality argument here.

A twin study should normalize everything genetically. Ergo epigenetic expression and environment are the only two causal levers. It sounds like you're arguing that parental involvement has a causal impact, which is the point of the studies to a degree.

Perhaps my original question was unclear: is there something the twins do or have done to them that cause a latent selection bias before adoption, thus invalidating the twin studies approach as a whole?

They have enough propellant to change their orbital height by quite a lot, more than the typical satellite (other than GTO-to-GEO thrusters.)

OTOH you can just ask SpaceX or the Air Force where they have been in the past, SpaceX uses GPS and the Air Force radar is accurate enough for knowing where they were.
I refuse to love Google, but I do have love in my heart for Sergey and Larry.

imho, the foundations of the corporate ecology that we've built seems to favour the creation of large companies with quite dehumanizing values at their core. The fact that Google has grown to such size and existed at all (even as imperfect form), that is a triumph of these two citizens.

They've built a metropolis out of plutonium, and miraculously we live good lives in it, largely without illness ;)
I'm intrigued. What are you saying here?
> Obesity! and other non-medical factors like automobiles

Socialized medicine and other forms of "planned state healthcare" seem to do a better job promoting lifestyle changes and preventative medicine, which reduces the costs of these externalities.
We have groups that the owners can't even access any more. They demand a yahoo email even when there's a non-Yahoo email associated with it. Y-Groups has been badly broken for some time.
> And yes, this is very much my business, because how you raise your children dictates what kind of society my children will live in, so please raise them right.

Sure, but I'd like to see if your conjecture is actually backed up by the evidence. I too might be initially inclined to believe that monogamous partners are better for childcare, but I'm guessing that I am also epistemically biased towards that assumption, just as a product of the societal norms I've grown up with.
Yes, I'am quoting Bryan MacDonald, sorry if it wasn't clear. And since I speak russian, I can attest that his tweet is factually correct.
AMD maintain a fork which is merged back as they make it available, so mainline BLIS typically has that work soon after. That was last done in October, since the current release (0.6.0). The FLAME people encourage you to use the current master branch, but you might bother about correctness, as it was failing BLAS tests recently on POWER and the generic target.
Measuring programmer productivity is very hard using standard research tools so they are not necessarily the best we have. This is not physics.

Besides, all I wanted to do was to point out that you shouldn’t derive any conclusions from that study. I don’t need any counter evidence for that (apart from the evidence that the study is flawed of course).
Ah, well if we are talking about regulated lending that would be a different kettle of fish.

Although some recent examples spring to mind where the developed world's financial lending regulations could have been a bit tighter ;)
I tried to do this but upon clicking the purple "Join Group" button Yahoo is giving me an error saying my email address is not linked to a Yahoo account:

> Your email address is not linked to a Yahoo ID. To join this group, you need to link your email address to a Yahoo account.

When I click "link your email address", it just takes me to a page called "Personal info" which doesn't have any obvious way to link my email address.

So I'm not sure how to proceed.

EDIT: Solved it. I had initially only "verified" the account with a phone number, but you have to add an email address as well. It's now working.

Ant Financial is owned by Alibaba and Jack Ma. Alibaba is founded and owned by various communist party members. Jack Ma is a communist party member. Ant Financial is essentially co-owned by the Chinese Communist Party.

In order to encourage a failing economy, trap more consumers in debt (China has an outrageous 400%+ total debt to gdp) and prevent unrest, CCP is giving a $7 credit limit to its 700M people in poverty. Whether it works or not is debatable, as Chinese consumers are already neck deep in debt and hurting from rising inflation

> Imagine if an adversarial interoperator were to enter the market today with a tool that auto-piloted its users through the big tax-prep companies' sites to get them to Free File tools that would actually work for them (as opposed to tricking them into expensive upgrades, often by letting them get all the way to the end of the process before revealing that something about the user's tax situation makes them ineligible for that specific Free File product).

Thanks. Tynker looks good and will try with that.
On this timeline I immediately tried to click the "Today" entry because it was blue. It didn't do anything.
Yup! It's a customized version of Zola (https://www.getzola.org) that I hacked to add support for line numbers in code blocks (e.g, in any of the technical articles). I also committed support for the Dracula theme to the project.

The social stuff is a separate script that runs before site generation, which I open sourced (https://github.com/ryanmcgrath/activity-scraper). All runs on a "every 5 minutes" cron job that just fetches activity and rebuilds the site. It also rebuilds if I push to the server.

For the font support, the top logo is optimized to just include those four characters (RYMC), and then Aleo is stripped slightly. It's all base64 encoded into the CSS, and the CSS is all inlined into the page.

Before anybody says "but HTTP/2", yes, I know multiple requests on the page is fine with HTTP/2, and that's good for much bigger projects. I still notice a big time to paint difference for something like this where the total amount of data on the page is ~150kb. Icons are all SVGs, inlined into the page and just repeated via group/use tags - the only external request it makes is the header image, and I suppose Cloudflare injects an email decoder JS lib that's less than 1kb.

I think part of me also wanted to do it like this purely to ensure that there's tech articles out there that load fast, don't need AMP, and don't overload you with subscribe/follow/etc actions. It's old school, the web I grew up with - doesn't work for everything today and I wouldn't build most projects like it, but it's fun for my personal site. shrug

What are the hardware requirements of that VM?
I'm attempting to import it on my NAS4Free home NAS Virtualbox service which is the only machine I keep up 24/7 atm, but it takes forever to import. The hardware is very limited however (Atom D410 + a bit over 1GB RAM available), so I'm not sure it would succeed, but so far it loads forever, no errors given. I'd like to run it for this project to start contributing quickly albeit with limited hw before the deadline, then find better iron in the future.
Why is this any worse than wikipedia doing the same? Or is wikipedia asking for donations also a bad sign?
Do you have links for these both?
By that definition, you can end up doing systems programming in any domain. Optimizing browser performance, optimizing Postgres throughput. All of that is dealing with constraints and synthesizing knowledge from the layers of abstraction your problem is built on. Hardware is just a different set of constraints and lower level programming runs into these problems more often.

But there's literally _nothing_ inherently special or impressive about low-level systems programming or programmers :) I'm pretty confident good problem solvers from the domains I mention above could learn to work on it as easily as anything else.

And my original comment was about a common _attitude_ I've observed that is the opposite of what I'm saying. And you aren't really making any points against that haha
People won't fall for it. But also-- why disrupt the userbase? It probably doesn't cost much to keep it up. Why unnecessarily rock the boat. Accepting risk for little to no gain.
Two New Drugs Help Relieve Sickle-Cell Disease. But Who Will Pay?
I don't think that anyone that actually lived in socialism or communism (as I and my Eastern European compatriots have) can seriously promote it as a tenable social policy. It's noteworthy to say that the critique here isn't against "democratic socialists" like Bernie Sanders, but rather against the economic system of socialism (where, e.g., private property doesn't exist).

My parents lived the first half of their lives under a brutal socialist regime; which, by the way, were also secular) -- my dad was often interrogated, threatened, and abused by the secret police due to his Christianity.

To say that capitalism won is an understatement. It's by far the most humane economic system the world has ever seen. The corollary here is that capitalism works best when we have a rule of law, separation of church and state, and functioning political apparatus.
It's only not easy if you intend to do it legally. If you don't, it's really easy. I mean like "you can start running payday loans with a paypal account, a reddit account, and 10 minutes to read an FAQ" level of easy: reddit.com/r/borrow

Some of the loans on the new page are over 4000% APR, and the lenders are (presumably, I don't actually know, but whatever) from the "developed" world.
> socialized healthcare system with the same spending is unlikely to provide any improvements in life expectancy.

That's probably not true, because as the author pointed out, Obesity is considered an "external factor" but many countries with socialized medicine have programs to tackle these issues. Americans lack "preventive maintenance" programs that are a given in Europe. I think we all agree throwing money at the problem will not lead to enhanced outcomes, but to extrapolate that to mean that socialized medicine won't lead to a different outcome is not correct.

A classic example is physical rehab. In the US, getting insurers to pay for physical therapy is difficult and often capped. This in turn reduces long term mobility and leads to issues down the road. In Europe, it's far easier to get physical therapy leading to better long term quality of life.
https://www.msgtrail.com/ is my personal blog. Spartan, easy to read on various screen sizes, auto darkmode, and client-side searching on the Archive page.
It's such an imprecise word that it has become a way of showing distaste for something without offering specific criticism. Like in this instance-- what does a CCP backed company offering small, zero interest loans to its citizens have to do with Western left-of-center politics? I can't think of anything less "neoliberal", if anything it's communist.

Seeing everything from a US-centric view really not make sense here, since nothing comparable to this exists in America, and because microloans like this are a lot more meaningful to people in other parts of the world.

The question is, why would anyone want a paperback? It's clearly a format for disposable or travel books, which are easily replaced with a digital media. Paperback are not suitable for repeated readings and a really high-quality paperback, if there was one, would be prisewise on par with a hardcover anyway. I don't get paperbacks.
I will say something that is commonly known. a lot of frontend software dev revolves around hype. if React is the in thing and fb dev's are promoting Graphql, then everyone will go towards that. I don't know much about Datalog, but JSonAPiSpec meets most of things that people tout Graphql for. + if you're a person trying to keep employed then you've to follow the trends .
I can see reading it that way. I was under the impression that the comment I was replying to was using a specific case to argue a broader claim, particularly with this sentence:

> I think the flaw with the scenario you described is that your programs are “replacing” these peoples’ “jobs”, when, in reality, we’re building tools that empower them to perform their jobs more effectively.

I took this as an attempted refutation of that comments parent based on the anecdotal account given.

NSR has some public estimates here:
https://www.nsr.com/leo-survival-of-the-fittestor-the-smarte...

NSR estimates for SpaceX are higher than what SpaceX claims (Gwynne Shotwell just claimed some Morgan Stanley estimates of $1M launch + $1M to be way off [1]), but still, I wouldn't expect them to be able to launch the 4,409 satellites of their intial design for less than $10B. And it's not clear that they will be able to raise such amount of money without a clear path towards profitability.

I agree with the shaklee3, Tim's blog is very legit. As full disclosure, I am the first author of the MIT study he mentioned, and the more I look into LEO mega-constellations, the more skeptical I become.

To clarify: I mean that Prolog was under consideration to be used for what SPARQL was then developed, as a more readable and simpler query and also modeling language.

Several researchers working in this area considered the development of SPARQL to be a missed opportunity for better formalisms, since Prolog could have been used instead.

And, yes, to many who have worked with RDF, SPARQL and the various notations that have been developed for semantic web technologies, Prolog seems like a dream that shows what these technologies could have been, and can become in the future, i.e., easily processable, with a uniform and simple syntax that already has an ISO standard, and amenable to formal reasoning based on well-known logical rules.
Yes storing them as just smaller integers is a main thing. Frequently referenced pointers could also be given an even shorter coding, kind of like entropy coding.
Nah I don’t have the dvd and gave up trying to get it released because it wasn’t my job.
I followedany of your arguments, but I definitely started skimming at times to gather the main points. It would have been nice to have you main points with the most informative charts that illustrate your conclusions in the article, with links to sub-articles on each particular step of your argument that contain the additional analysis to support your conclusions.

Donu you also suggest that high levels of health care spending are more effective than we might expect since the wealth that allows more spending also come with higher obesity and larger overdose risks?

Is there one of your charts that indicates which countries have seen the best returns from higher levels of health care spending?

Yes, users of radio frequency spectrum do have public interest obligations. Thus far, for spacecraft this has been entirely confined to coverage requirements (aka, helping out Alaska when it's not infeasible).

It would be highly unusual-- and likely to be overturned in judicial review-- if the FCC were to decline to issue a radio license because of secondary impacts of the business. (Outside the specific areas where the FCC has been granted oversight-- environmental impacts of radio towers, space debris mitigation, safe operation of radio facilities, etc).
