Lee Jussim is absolutely infuriating to read. Most of this argument hangs on what as far as I can tell is a semantic twist. He argues that if DKE exists, it should evidence itself in a non-linearity of "self-assessed IQ" vs. "tested IQ". But... I don't see how or why the interpretation demands that. He explains, sort of, it in terms of higher IQ self-estimations being necessarily more accurate, which is itself an untested hypothesis!

The DKE, as typically expressed, isn't about linearity of the fit curve, it's that the slope doesn't go through the origin. The plot he shows right in the article makes it clear that median 60-IQ responders self-assess at 100, and 140-IQ responders get it exactly right.

That's the DKE, as clear as day. Yet his text immediately afterwards is "Bottom line: No evidence of DKE in a very large sample test, when tested most rigorously."

But what he's disproven is some linearity correlary that wasn't in the original paper and isn't cited, nor defined by him.

Basically this is a fancy strawman, with pretty data.

That's not to say there isn't room for reasoned argument about what the mechanism behind the DKE effect is or in what direction the causality goes. But this isn't it.

I certainly didn't mean to suggest that, so I'm sorry if my comment was unclear to you. Indeed, I was actually replying to GP which seemed to be making the insinuation that only one side was about the money, so perhaps your comment would function better as a reply to that one?

I think it's pretty transparent that advocates of affirmative action are interested in promoting the economic interests of under-represented minorities, so I didn't think it needed to be explicitly said. Further, many of the advocates of affirmative action are not of the group being benefited directly, whereas most of those with a stake in dismantling diversity policies seem to stand to benefit from it.

The sleight occured here:

"When people are unskilled or unintelligent this causes them to be unable to recognize their lack of skill or intelligence.

Know what that means?"

leading to this:

"It means that smarter people should be more accurate in their perceptions of their own intelligence than are less smart people. Or, put differently, the correlation between
actual IQ and self-perceived IQ should be higher for those high in IQ. That did not happen:"

Dunning-Krueger is about experience in/and performance. It is not about intelligence.
It depends. Cities tend to get income from sales, property, and income/payroll taxes. Some jurisdictions don't have all of those, but hotels pay property tax, visitors pay the sales tax, and as a second-order effect, jobs attributable to tourism pay income tax. It's not like visitors aren't paying taxes.

You also didn't touch on how there's no electoral protections as a check on these taxes.

shows the problem with your comment. The "recession after 2008" is not the problem, the previous 30 years of finance capitalism and deregulation (starting with the mortgage interest deduction and securitization in the late 70s) is.

I think calling it a third solution is totally fair. Whether it's a novel solution is separate.

The two solutions that are being debated now are (1) staying in lockdown until a vaccine or treatment is available, and (2) reopening and attempting to manage the spread using existing protocols/ideas (relatively low amounts of testing, quarantining after a period of infectiousness, some form of contact tracing, lots of finger crossing). At least, that's generally what I hear being debated: reopen or not, or when to reopen.

The post suggests that if we had quantitatively much more testing, we could pick a qualitatively different third solution -- namely, reopen pretty freely and realistically control the spread.

Sure, you can view that as a variant of the "reopen" option, but in my mind reopening feels very different with a realistic way to isolate people before they've had a chance to spread it very far. It's proactive vs reactive. If we fully reopen with even 2 orders of magnitude more testing than we're currently doing, it's just going to be a matter of closing back up wherever it gets out of hand. In practice, the openness will fluctuate, things will be spread out over time, politicians will continue to do the exact wrong things, and lots of people will continue to die.

In short: (1) stay in lockdown until vaccine/treatment, (2) reopen without a strategy, (3) reopen with a strategy.

Because it lowers the housing stock in urban areas. Wealthy travellers will pay more for accommodations than the local market, so apartments become airbnbs and investors gobble up condos and housing which they turn into short term rentals. The scarcity pushes up the housing prices, but it never balances out because the locals can never make enough to compete with wealthy travellers and are forced farther from the city. The end result is a hollowed out city core.
Depends on whom you ask. For many if not most computer people, "hacking" is synonymous to coding, and indeed something very positive.

In the public however, "hacking" is often more used synonymous to "cracking", which I find very unsettling and sad. At least there is nowadays some awareness that there is a different meaning to it. I guess that the word "hackathon" helped to change the public perception.

Fair warning, this would be typically filed under conspiracy theories / propaganda by most people, but even so, it is by far one of the most compelling ones I've seen.

All hardware begins as custom hardware. Commoditization happens when a standard is published and other people start making it. But there's nothing intrinsically more special about Apple hardware than anybody else's. The problem here isn't a mismatch between the specialness of hardware and the openness of the OS. It's that Apple is hostile to people writing an OS for their hardware, so they don't share the kind of information that's available for both commodity hardware and custom but well-documented hardware.

Boeing Terminates Joint Venture Deal with Embraer
"Part of me feels disconnected from this whole argument. I would download a car. I don’t feel bad and I don’t think anyone should for feeling that way"

I see this come up on HN from time to time. How would you feel if a large company made millions of dollars on your open source project, and never gave anything back in return?

"Culture is free. If you didn’t want the world to know about it and use it you shouldn’t have shared your creation, knowledge, invention, or property with society by allowing them to legally acquire it."

This has very dangerous implications. If we have no intellectual property rights, large companies could just wait until small startups came out with a good idea..and it could be ripped off and copied. It only pushes us towards a world that's controlled by a couple of large corporations and governments.

"If I can figure out how my car’s self-driving system works without violating any of the car vendor’s computers, that is my right to do so in order to adapt the car to my needs and desires"

We aren't talking about reverse-engineering a car that you buy (which is legal). We are talking about an employee exfiltrating source code and other proprietary documents to be used at a competing company.

"Then they will clone the tech just like everyone else."

Sure, but who wants to be the first person to market and spend billions of dollars on R&D when you can just clone it after some other company does all of the hard work for you?

Another reason why we need IP laws is that innovation is actually stifled without them. China is a good example of this. I can't think of one thing innovative that came out of China in decades. Most are cheap (and many times worse) copies of technology from more innovative countries.

It reminds me of the current state of new drugs. The majority of new drugs are created in the US and are then cloned and sold for a much cheaper cost to countries with socialized medicine...mostly because they don't have to do any of the expensive R&D/clinical trials to get the drug to market.

"I would expect future cars to have always online functionality to enable self-driving functionality checks simply for road safety reasons and also to deter IP leakage via encrypted firmware and remotely validated automatic updates. It will be interesting to see if any kind of open source challenger will appear in such a future"

This is where most software has gone in the last decade (from download and install a copy to SAAS), so it makes sense.

That software didn’t work for us at the time because we had to follow some document provided by the school and what software did exist was often slightly different in the exact placement of punctuation.

I think that focus was a waste - when you really need to do that in graduate school it’s not hard to figure out and you can use software to do it.

They also made us put inline citations in the writing itself (you couldn’t even say the year someone was born without citing the source).

Of course the teachers didn’t actually look at the source and discuss its quality (which may have been useful) - they instead obsessed over minutia of where exactly a space or period is required in the citation and if it’s a periodical or website.

This is the wet dream of every investor, not something anyone can achieve with hard work.
I totally agree. However that is not what it became. This cannot have been a surprise to AirBnb, as it must have required huge lobbying across many countries.

The three stages of airbnb:

- actual sharing of spare capacity on a temporary basis (for example effectively a house swap while on holiday)

- rental of permanent properties by "early adopters" who saw the loophole and the gap in the market

- inundation of full time speculators who own many properties and lots of highly leveraged "owners" who have one or a handful of properties, plus landlords who couldn't add up and had negative yield on their long-term rentals and bailed to short term

The last layer here are going to get hit hard. Many will retreat to long-term rentals again, which will see rents fall. For those who already had negative yield before moving to airbnb, this will be even worse now.

Also many airbnb rentiers will have a low skill set, with bad qualifications. They got into it because it seemed like easy money, and they will be the first to suffer in the coming recession. Forced sellers.

>Buy a bunch of precursor from China

The precursor is opium. Even synthetic opiates are derived from morphine, codeine and thebane directly extracted from poppies. In the case of oxycontin it's the thebane that's used. Thebane lacks the euphoric properties of morphine and makes you sick but is equally if not more addictive. Oxycontin is typically not smuggled across borders but sold by people with prescriptions. Everyone I know hooked on oxys buys them from the people with oxy prescriptions.

Fentynyl is cheap to produce and easy to smuggle in complete form. It's extremely potent and is extracted from unregulated fentynyl patches from China. These are stolen from hospitals etc, and are then processed to extract the fentynyl. This is then shipped on boats and such where it's easily concealed.

It ends up being cut into heroin or coke or some other drugs by local dealers to extend their supply. Suddenly that gram of heroin they sell is going to get someone high for 3 days instead of a few hours.

Most people od'ing on fentynyl aren't willingingly doing fentynyl, they're doing heroin or coke or something some asshole decided to cut with fentynyl.
