It actually is though! The force due to air resistance is the primary thing slowing down the bike and rider, and the force, which doesn't change with mass, slows down a heavier bike less, and so a heavy bike will be rolling faster than a lighter one at the bottom of a hill, all other things being equal.
>We know that IQ is the most powerful predictor of success and that you can't train it into people by any known means

One very simple way of increasing IQ is to repeatedly take IQ tests. There is a noticeable uptick in recorded score for people who take the same type of test the second time within a twelve month period.
Also school plants into children some biases that later used by authorities for divide-and-conquer.

E.g. the school told me that I belong to some ethnicity and that there are other ethnicities I should know about. As a child I couldn't care less. Why would they tell me this if ethnicity doesn't even matter for future job?

Another example is socio-economic system classification: capitalist vs socialist vs fascist vs monarchy etc. Why does it have to be so clean-cut categories? Like if you're not in one camp then you have to be in another. Just another divisive tool.

So they do want to create the work force but they also want to prevent any sort of revolt and thus plant psychological leverages in peoples' heads. It is a science of social engineering that they don't teach in schools.
We never stop vaccinating for it. If we stop, polio will resurge. It’s unfortunate that people get polio from the vaccine, but it’s worth it because everyone else who gets vaccinated can’t get polio.
Interested in proofs and proving? Read Social Processes and Proofs of Theorems and Programs by Richard A. De Millo (Georgia Institute of Technology) and Richard J. Lipton and Alan J. Perlis (Yale University) given at POPL3. https://ucsd-pl.github.io/cse-130-230/fa18/papers/demillo-so...

The peer review process often seems to fail when proofs are involved--reviewers often skip over the proofs because reading and checking is hard work.

Too many people look at this as a gradual progression. It seems to me that this increase is a summation of improvements in making a human like brain by means of more powerful computers. I think the structural improvements in understanding how a brain works in a human can be far more influential in ramping up the 'IQ' of the computer brain and once the structure is fully understood and emulated we may well so a large near vertical ramp upwards in 'artificial intelligence', as is indicated in one of the charts - how far off is this vertical 'knee'...?
Hi, I got a "Service Unavailable" 503 error for the homepage.
I took twice, three times racemic pills and then a couple grams of esketamine in five or six sessions, everything illegal.

Racemic was funny. Esketamine is extra-weird, I felt the movie on tv was real and I was chatting with Antonio Banderas, an undercover CIA operative. Later my body felt as a paper balloon. No K-hole though.

A year later: I haven't smoke weed since. I just got uninterested. No more ketamine, but I'm considering buying again. For months after the binge, alcohol didn't get me drunk, that was weird. Anxiety, a little better. Block was no better.

This SDK is for the Anki Vector robot (https://www.anki.com/en-us/vector). The company is shut down now but a team has been working hard to find an exploit and root vector. If you have interest in hacking and exploiting Linux/Android devices, the Project Victor team could use your help (https://www.project-victor.org/).

I have been working on this .NET SDK for the last 10 months. It's build by both porting the original Python SDK and reverse engineering some of Vector's interfaces.

I decided in late November that I would try and release all my Vector software by the beginning of December regardless of whether it was finished. And that was strangely motivating and created a whole new set of projects!

In addition to the SDK, I've also released a few tools for Anki Vector and a whole ugly website dedicated to my projects:

> Imagine a national vote where the margin of victory was 2,000 votes. The entire country would be consumed in a conflagration of litigation. It would be Florida in 2000 but 100 times worse.

Except that it would also be far less likely to happen, to the point that it has only happened once in history, in 1880 when the US population was barely five million people. The closest Presidential election since 1888 was Nixon vs. Kennedy and that was a margin of more than a hundred thousand votes.

Moreover, if you have a close election then you have a recount. It's sufficiently rare that when it happens you just have to suck it up. And if it was actually a problem then we could address it ahead of time by improving the procedures for elections and recounts so that they take hours rather than weeks.

> The electoral college, for all its faults, is designed to create a clear winner and not contain the contagion of a close election to a state.

If you really want to do this then you should draw the lines like the delegates are assigned -- two to each state and one to each Congressional district. Then there would be swing districts rather than swing states, but there would be so many of them and they would be spread all over the country which would make it a lot harder to write off entire regions with millions of people in them.

The "safe states" could get together as a coalition and agree to vote according to that formula as well.

> States experiment with alternatives. For example, I believe Vermont distributes its electors proportionally based on the popular vote within the state, which means everyone ignores the state because it makes at most 1 elector difference (to be fair, it's a safe blue state and only has 4 (IIRC) electors anyway).

The reason states assign all their votes to the same candidate is pretty clear. If it's a swing state then it's because it causes candidates to pay disproportionate attention to them, because then it's the full number of delegates on the table and not just a difference of one or two. If it's not a swing state then to assign delegates proportionally you would be taking some from the majority party in that state and giving them to the minority, but the majority party likely controls the state government, so since they're the ones who would have to choose to do it, they typically don't.

But national popular vote doesn't have those incentives for the safe states, because the country as a whole is about evenly split, so (modulo the issue about proportionality of electoral college delegates) changing it doesn't inherently benefit one party over the other. Who it benefits is the people in the states that always go for the same party, because then their votes would be worth as much as the people in swing states instead of being completely worthless. And those states, it turns out, have the majority of the electoral votes. If you could get them to come together on this.

It's quite eye opening to learn about the origins of the modern education system. The how and the why of the modern school system. Especially the people who brought the public school system from europe to america. They certainly weren't interested in creating a population of critical thinkers. It's why public "education" is supported by such disparate countries like america to nazi germany to the soviet union to communist china. One thing all countries and politicians and elites love is public "education".

Well, actually yes.

Notice how there's very few military aircraft companies in the USA?

That's because the little fish got a visit from Washington saying, "that was your last contract unless you merge."

Northrop tried to resist, for a while anyway.

Regarding foreign companies, the Avro Arrow was cut up after the US offered Canada a northern missile defense network. The Arrow was an early Mach 2 interceptor - think of the foreign sales possibilities.

Many of the designers ended up at NASA.

ENS has its own issues. For example, sometimes government and law enforcement oversight of DNS is a good thing, especially in the context of malware. In my experience, for every sensational account of abuse, there are dozens or perhaps hundreds of cases in which the centralized nature of DNS is used for good (in a manner that isn't controversial). There are also cases like trademark disputes; those are definitely a lot more controversial, but there's definitely an argument to be made that allowing someone other than Google to purchase goolge.anything (intentional typo) is probably going to cause more harm than good.

If we want to replace DNS, we're going to need a system that's both resistant to abuse and fixes the problems with DNS in its current form. Every proposal I've seen, including ENS, just swaps out existing problems for new problems.

If you write "Crafts[man,woman]" and place the "man" before the "woman" you are implying the "man" is better than the "woman."

To make things more gender neutral and less sexist you need to write "Craftspeople." For example I never use sexist or offensive words like "Mankind" anymore, I write "Peoplekind." Also my chrome highlights "Peoplekind" as a spelling error which shows you how far we are from living in a society that isn't sexist.

Anyways, this document was definitely stolen and Bordan (or someone close to him) most likely was the culprit. Just as the Russians are sowing discord among Americans now, this is what they were doing then as well. Bordon wanted to collect all the info about the H-Bomb in one place, almost took down Wheeler and successfully took down Oppenheimer later. Pretty suspicious.

Not like it means much to do that, you are subject to most of the same restrictions anyways in other english speaking countries, just under a different name than "felony".

Just tested this - it seems like a handy feature but apparently also dependent on the application using a specific textbox from the macOS UI toolkit.

> E.g. the school told me that I belong to some ethnicity and that there are other ethnicities I should know about. As a child I couldn't care less. Why would they tell me this if ethnicity doesn't even matter for future job?

I don't think you could have even a basic understanding of history without understanding what ethnicities are and some details about the historical experiences of at least a few of these groups.

But let's buy in to the premise, for a second, that schools should only teach you things you need to get a job (which ignores how important a well educated population is to democracy). Historical discrimination and the current disadvantage of several ethnic groups directly informs the hiring policies of many major companies (in the US). So ethnic groups may directly impact you getting a job.
If it offsets the vast amounts of delusional people who have absolutely no concept of the real world and all its dangers, then I'm all for it.

What's wrong with having words for "small crime" and "big crime"?
I've often felt that despite going to a high school that championed critical thinking, that certain topics were closer to indoctrination.

I've noticed, with much of the public, if democracy is criticized the response is usually akin to "it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.…" more often in the form of "well what do you think is better" followed by the bad sides of that system. It doesnt actually address the argument.

That single catch phrase became a way to shut down critical thinking before it began. "Nope I have the ultimate rebuttal, I wont even entertain other premises, even hypothetically." People were taught that, despite its flaws, its best, and dont question that it might not be the best.

To question democracy itself, as not superior to everything else, is painful and frightening to many, as it fractures their worldview and lenses theyve built with which they understand the world. Defense of democracy feels more like fanaticism, the way people choose a sports team and then never question it. (Lions fans may question their allegiance, but thats a different story.)

It becomes a bit recursive, as democracy is powered by and predicated on an educated electorate.
>but innovation has slowed to a crawl and he has failed to diversify Apple away from having one product (instead he just added a bunch of accessory products and services).

Apple has definitely slowed down quite a bit under Cook. But that is comparing from Apple's best to Current Apple. iOS 13 and macOS quality has definitely slipped. Along with the extremely long denial and no reaction pattern of Mac, Mac Pro and MacBook Pro Keyboard problems. But they are still Innovating like hell on iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and AirPod. Getting a decent iPhone out every year, which also happens to be the best selling Smartphone around the world is no small task. Services is also growing, although I am still not too fond of the idea of Apple TV, Arcade and News.

Those so call "bunch of accessory and services" would have been a Fortune 2000 company on its own, and likely to be Fortune 500 soon if not already.
You wrote "If ICE facilities qualify as concentration camps, then so does every prison. At that point it's no longer a useful term."

I pointed out that your own statements contradict your own conclusion, in that at least some prisons in the US 1) contain only people who have gone through the court system are the result of a crime, and not merely waiting for a hearing, 2) are not in harsh conditions.

I also pointed out that to many Japanese-Americans held in concentration camps in the American West during WWII, that to them "concentration camp" is a very important term.

Do you agree that those Japanese-Americans were in concentration camps?

If you agree, then why are the ICE detention facilities not concentration camps?

If you disagree, then why weren't they concentration camps, and why did high-level US officials at the time regard them as concentration camps in internal use, while officially avoided that term?
SRE sort of fits that box, though I have to point out w.r.t. the OP's post that there is being scrappy (not building for edge cases that don't have confirmed ROI) and being reckless (ignoring any engineering concern whatsoever).

I've seen projects sink for having PMs too far on the reckless side. Frontend engineers who appear to be developing the day's hot feature end up building a massive platform on platform on (...ad nauseam) on Reactive React just to show a few forms, while the backend engineers get pushback every time they ask a question. The product sinks because it takes three weeks just to move a field from one form to a different form, you have to refactor the whole redux store, ...

These are the teams that go so far in the "manual" direction that they refuse to build support tools of any kind whatsoever, and then when the inevitable fires come nobody knows what's going on.

So product<->reliability might be often mutually exclusive just because that is what people are used to, but really engineers should be able to do both and know when to adjust, and so should the managers.

There are always multiple establishments. If one establishment doesn’t suit you, you can always go right next door to the other establishment labelled “the anti-establishment” and enjoy the company of like-minded individuals as you sneer at the other establishment and congratulate yourself on your independent-mindedness.

Nowadays the anti-establishment is bigger and richer than the actual establishment, which is why we all wear t-shirts to work and sneer at those who have to wear suits.

Are there groups that exist outside both the establishment and anti-establishment? Sure, but they’re weird and scary and if you join them you’ll definitely be banned from polite society.
