I'll start by appealing to you to engage in this discussion in good faith, and without the snark contained in the above comment.

I may not have read all the same papers as you (just as you haven't read everything I've read), but I have read a wide range of material, and have been undertaking a several-years-long self-experiment on the links between physiology, cognition, and other factors including nutrition, toxicity and trauma. I am interested in the role of genetics too, and I'm open-minded about all of it.

In no sense do I claim my knowledge to be exhaustive, but I don't think I can be accused of approaching the topic without sincerity or dedication.

> The asthma one may be correct (and probably due to the hygiene hypothesis, and for the same reason as myopia)

Can you provide links elaborating on that topic so I can learn more about the basis of those assumptions?

> They are changed in narrow specific ways, often at the cost of other things.

I'm not sure how that contradicts anything I've said. The notion that such trade-offs exist is fairly central to my understanding of these things.

To be clear, the claim I'm questioning is that IQ-measured intelligence is genetically determined and immutable (and correlated with race), and I'm pointing out one example of evidence that factors other than genetics also seem relevant, sometimes in surprising ways.

There are of course plenty of other factors, including but not limited to nutrition, toxicity and trauma.

If you don't have any significant disagreement with the last two paragraphs then we don't have any quarrel.

If you do, I'd welcome links providing opposing evidence.
The descriptions were for you to understand the type of person I was talking about. It was intended to give two examples of a contrast of how I evaluate the character of people. People are not defined by their job type. I thought that should be clear. Instead, you distorted it into some asinine job title defines the person interpretation. You must vote democrat. It gets exhausting trying to categorize everyone into their little groups where you think they belong. Spend time doing something else like thinking of ways to get people to unite and love each other more.
For inkjet, i have an Epson Ecotankprinter that's equipped with refillable ink system. Very good move from Epson.

I think it doesn’t work like you said. The GP has a printer, but one where he doesn’t need much maintenance. It just works. No need to have a 4 color printer that doesn’t print black and white when yellow is run out. No need to buy a new cardridge when the one you bought together with the last one is dried out. No need to buy original manufacturer cartridges because of some kind of DRM.

And frankly I do the same as the GP. I have a b/w Brother network laser printer and all computers in my home print to this. When we need to print photos once or twice a year we go to a shop and get 100 different photos at once.

If you want to compare this to cars I think it’s more of a “buy a good car that is reliable and works most of the time and rent a bus or get an uber for a special case”. Like these VW Bullis I hear about. They are great when they work but you don’t want to own one.
One last question: Where do you order them from? The labeled kits I see are around $120 and I’m on a college student budget. Thanks for answering my questions.
Cool, see the points. I will have a look into mypass :)
> Also, The whole idea of having young people work like dogs in order to have a shot at making partner, or gaining tenure, or gaining a medical degree is both outdated and ageist.

You can't dictate this though. Say you have a well-run engineering team where everyone spends exactly 40 hours a week and only 40 hours a week on their jobs. And everyone does this.

You hire one new person who just LOVES THEIR WORK and they work 80 hours a week. Their output is through the roof, they get recognition, raises, bonuses, and promotions.

Now everyone chases them. Goodbye work/life balance for the entire team.

And before one suggests "make it against the rules to do that", good luck seeing how long your group or business lasts with such a policy. Probably NOTHING could be worse for morale.

Even being generous and kind, you end up with that situation. So your solution must work with that tendency, not assume it out of the problem.

Second best in North America, perhaps.

This is so funny but it is very true. I work as a tax auditor and I see more and more companies doing his. They restructure the entire business to optimize for certain benefits. For example, all of the real estate will be structured in separate entities to protect from liability. Same thing can be done for taxes. Gets even worse when it is a foreign parent that controls all the subs. You can't audit the foreign parent and the domestic subs have minimal tax exposure.

In other words, I don't think that was a time that actually happened: we just remember the good parts and perhaps a few spectacularly bad parts, but never the mediocre hacks that always make up the remaining 90% of everything.
A few thoughts about housing and affordability in the bay area
elsewhere here on HN is a thread about bay area housing crisis, there is a general hysteria about low housing stock. i am alarmed by the calls to repeal prop 13 as though that is the solution that will fix the problem. i am appalled by the vulture like predatory words spoken against senior citizens who helped build our bay area towns long before we became what we are today. i dont understand how increasing tax burden will increase affordable housing stock. that makes no logical sense. in fact, the opposite is true. some thoughts:

1. the solution is not repealing prop 13 in the hopes that senior citizens would move out. High taxes will make cities affordable or housing abundant.

2. The issue is not about housing or high density, but about distribution of resources.

3. the future will likely have less jobs and greater inequality..mostly because jobs will become increasingly automated.

4. historically, jobs and employment are essential to a vibrant economy because money has to be circulating for boosting purchasing power of the masses and hence the economy.

5. however, the population is increasing and high density isnt helping. there are scant instances of high density cities being affordable and/or sustainable. rather crowded cities like mumbai, hong kong only end up getting worse.

Do you know California is also the top state destination for people leaving Texas ? You know why ? It is because these are two largest states and they exchange population. The per year net migration to Texas is less than 0.1% of CA population.
Offloading to the GPU has a significant cost that needs to be amortized. DNNs work well because very little is moved over the PCIe bottleneck, and inputs can be buffered. Take modern compression, let's say H265, has a complex control flow combined with highly vectorizable work. I'm unsure where the threshold lies today, but you need a significant amount of work before offloading to and reading back from the GPU becomes interesting on a beefy Xeon.

He can just swap the current cartridge for a new one he bought in the store and it will work.

If you cancel your library membership while you still got some books at home, do you think you can keep them?

The guy in the twitter thread seems to be a complete idiot. It's a subscription model where you automatically get new cartridges via mail with a return envelope for the old one. And he's wondering what that monthly five bucks are for. Like, WTF. "Oh I bought this printer with a life long free supply of ink. Neat."
I think it's mostly because the Jargon File, BOFH stories, and similar lore only pick the interesting parts...and let's face it, parts that make the sysop narrator look good (as opposed to the "suit" antagonists).

Of course it is described as The Golden Age, because that's how all the stories of any golden age are curated.
sounds good but what government officials would want to move to a starter city?

Maybe they could start it with a Space Force military base and a STEM focused college to serve the military’s needs.

Congress and lobbyists would go nuts for that $$$
Also many other states are starting to have "tech hubs" as well like Austin and Nashville so one would expect the allure of the bay area is going to decline overtime.

Which is accounted for by the lower CoL. I've had a couple of recruiters call me about jobs in San Francisco so I checked the CoL, and the CoL difference between San Fran and Houston is over a 100%. And companies weren't willing to pay double the rates they are here.
Yes, but most things the humans do are absurd.
You are right. Same as with vendor lock-in when a business chooses platforms (hello, Oracle).

However, in this case, I like the idea that if tomorrow I wanted to print with Epson, I can sell / abandon this given HP printer and my future printing needs won't depend on my relationship with HP now. (OTOH, I am using HP printer/scanners for 10y now and this is the only brand I am satisfied with, especially for their Linux support).

> the model is great for some people in some cases.
I know that my needs might be not the same as others'. For me the model immediately clicked because of my preferences (environmental friendliness, automated ink orders - this one is super convenient since I travel a lot and in the past the ink ran out EXACTLY when I needed on that only weekend when I was finally at home, etc.)

Anyhow, to me this only tells that this dude should probably rethink his finances if he has no idea what subscriptions he has. After that, maybe he should be aware what terms and conditions he accepted, instead of making a fool of himself on twitter.

Show HN: Google Sheets add-on to compare text, fuzzy-match, highlight duplicates
I created an add-on for Google Sheets called Flookup, and it comes both as a free version and a VERY AFFORDABLE paid version.

At its core, Flookup is a fuzzy matching add-on that helps you manage text that is less than a 100% match. Beyond that it can be used to:

1. Search for and match data regardless of whether it contains typos.

2. Highlight and delete duplicates duplicates even if the data has mismatched text.

3. Calculate the percentage similarity between strings.

4. Extract unique values from any column based on percentage similarity.

5. Sum and find the average of numbers based on corresponding partial matches.

Because of its versatility, Flookup can be used to return the best match, the next best match, etc. until the minimum percentage similarity is reached. This feature avoids weaknesses other fuzzy matching algorithms have because it safely hands power to the user, and I believe the user is the best judge of which data is a match or not.

Another great feature Flookup has is that it can be used to combine lookup values. This is particularly helpful when your data has many similar strings and you want to add extra information to your lookup value in order to increase the specificity of your query.

Finally, Flookup is good for more than just fuzzy matching; it is the improved replacement for VLOOKUP and INDEX/MATCH that you have been looking for.

I am not so sure that the suggested availability of high quality childcare really helps those numbers in STEM.

In Nordic countries (I live in Finland), which are quite well known for having good quality childcare available to all families at low cost, the situation has not increased placement of women in STEM professions.

In fact, quite the opposite: the more "gender-equal" a society, the fewer women study STEM subjects.
In the US the present order of economic policy mistakes is:

Federal spending[1] > Healthcare costs[2] > Energy investment[3] > University degrees[4] > Infrastructure investment[5] > Home ownership > New vehicles

[1] Economic output grows by 4%, spending grows by 12%. Entitlement costs go up, taxes go down. Military spending. $900b (3.x% of GDP equivalent) per year in debt interest costs projected for 2028 (CBO), most of which shouldn't exist and should be going to infrastructure, healthcare, Social Security, and so on.

[2] Not healthcare unto itself, healthcare costs. Spending $3.6 trillion on healthcare nationally when we should be spending $2.4 trillion or less (the UK equivalent ratio would be more like ~$1.5 trillion).

[3] Not building a lot more nuclear. Not phasing out coal fast enough. Not building an obnoxious amount of off-shore wind. Not upgrading our grid to widely distribute from large output centers better (the central wind corridor can probably eventually export vast wind power to the coasts). Not better preparing our grid for the all-electric consumer vehicle future that is inbound. Etc.

[4] Pushing the notion that you absolutely must get at least a four year degree is akin to the dogma that you must own a home. A subset to that is the notion that you should spend a particularly absurd amount of money when you could get a degree of similar outcome effectiveness at half the price from an in-state public school.

[5] Lack thereof. Including not building high-speed rail (even if only regionally) and not aggressively going after the vast urban deployment of electric buses. Maybe we can't build cheap subways or rail anymore, however we can buy relatively cheap electric buses and dedicate routes to a lot of them and we can do it damn easily.

I chose an inkjet for its size. I wanted a printer+scanner combo but the laser ones were enormous. Thankfully I don't have to print a lot so I don't mind the slower printing performance.

It should also be mentioned that general statements or studies about the relative mathematical or technical abilities of men and women do not necessarily have any direct bearing on specific groups of men and women, like “people who have successfully completed a STEM PhD”. In fact, it’s quite plausible that any differences between men and women disappear once you only look at those people who have a PhD, even if those differences did exist in the general population (which is debatable, and even if it is true, it is not clear which factors are responsible for it). Since this article talks about gender disparity in the population of people who have a PhD, statements or studies which apply to the general population are not really all that relevant.

I use gitbucket, for my own private repositories. Using this would be awesome because the one thing I'm really missing is the ability to run CI-jobs in an integrated fashion.

Installation of onedev, on a scratch host, was painless. But I think there are a few things missing before I could use it for real. At the very least I have to use username/password for repository access. I see nowhere in the user-settings, or system-settings, for adding an SSH key.

That's a basic thing which is an immediate dealbreaker, although the other things look amazing. (Role based access control, integrated CI, code-comments, etc.)
Not sure about the US but here in Eastern Europe our peasant grandmothers were definitely working on the fields themselves, most of the times even longer hours than the men. It was the job of the very old women around the house to stay at home and take care of the eventual infants, but even then, that was an exception rather than the rule. I know that one of my grand-grand-mothers wanted to go and work the fields until her late 80s, together with everybody else from the extended family, staying at home was a sign of weakness and was seen as almost courting sickness/death.
By the time men approach their fertility limits they either have children or have decided they don't want them.

Most men don't leave their careers at any age because they have to provide for the preganant wife which can't work and needs lots of care.
You see, around ~10 years ago I could just buy online a (even non-genuine) refill kit and just refill the ink in the cartridges by myself. And I could use the printer whenever I wanted. If I run out of the ink, I would just buy the ink refill set which costed around 5-6€. Think that such kit could be re-used to fill multiple carriages and last many months. If I did not use the printer for 2 months, I would not need to pay any fee for just having a printer in idle state. I "owned" the printer.

Nowadays, you seem not to even "own" the printer nor the cartridges. Everything becomes a service where you should be in the loop continuously paying for it. And we are consciously supporting such economy.
> I think it's insane a private company is even allowed to do this stuff

I wonder if this private enforcement of law goes both ways - can a car owner barricade Walmart's entrance to force Walmart to pay them what they've unilaterally decided they're owed?
There's plenty of affordable housing in America where people do want to live as well:

"According to Bureau of Labor Statistics data, lightly-regulated Houston has seen its civilian labor force grow by 20 percent in the last decade, compared to the San Francisco metro area's 16 percent. Some 21 Fortune 500 companies have their headquarters in Houston. What's more, for every job the Houston metro area has added, it's also permitted another unit of housing. As a result, the average rent for a one-bedroom apartment is $841, and home prices are below the national average."

From here :

https://reason.com/2019/11/05/bernie-sanders-blames-apple-fo....

It's not rocket science. If you want affordable housing make it easy for people to build and increase supply. It's remarkable how Silicon Valley is all about solving big problems for the world but demonstrates with Bay Area housing that some problems don't need technology, they just need reasonable government and if you don't have that, well, things don't work.

To be fair, this problem is global. Many places that are doing well that haven't allowed enough construction like London, Sydney, Stockholm, Melbourne, Paris and other places demonstrate the same failure to enable enough housing construction.

Posted the same comment earlier this week.

The Economist's take on housing this week isn't up to their usual standard. They ignore the parts of the US where houses are still cheap and there is economic growth like Texas, Atlanta and other places. The special is worth reading though, there are interesting facts about how around the world supply has kept up with demand.

Home ownership is compatible with cheaper housing. It's just that rules need to be made to ensure that you can keep supply going. That means rezoning things on a regular basis to keep housing affordable. Also probably a land value tax would help.

Then it looks like West Virginia and Texas are the most business friendly states, with California coming in 29th(despite being one of the nicest places to live in the U.S.).

You must know different people than me. But everyone I know who moved, moved because of a job, wanted to be in a cool city, or temperature/weather/availability of natural beauty. None moved because of non-compete laws, environmental laws, labor protections, social safety nets, parental leaves, or LGBT friendliness(I never lived anywhere especially rural).
