It's funny when people are so uniformly wrong but write with such confident language. Most estimates based on twin and sibling studies place 60-80% of variance in intelligence as genetically heritable, with a single-digit percentage of adult IQ attributable to known environmental factors.
It's the most over-though versioning system ever actually. It's a rare mixture of NIH syndrome and obsession to a specific theoretical concern. Yes semver dependency management is NP-hard[1], but lawn mowing is NP-hard too, and yet that doesn't seem to stop anyone else!

[1] in fact it's only NP-hard if you add an optional aditionnal constraint: that every dependency must have a single instance even if it's a transitive dependency from several dependencies with conflicting requirements. If you allow different major version of the same dependency to coexist in the dependency tree, it becomes a straightforward linear problem while still behaving like every single other package manager in existence for the end-user. Now that's a well thought system! (And there at least one language, pretty popular these days on Hacker News, which does exactly this)
22 CV's.

Anyone doing hiring would love if their life only involved 22 cv's. I'd interview half of them :)

I think it'd be better without using basename, just $0. That way it matches the way it was called, which is how the user chose to access it for whatever reason. The bare filename might refer to a different command, even. Also, if you include examples in the help text, they'll also be able to copy and paste, instead of having to manually insert what basename stripped away.
Yes, and I admit the mention of bin bags might have been an unintentional red herring. I was just intending to point out that even in a "first world" country with supposedly good waste management, lots of plastic gets into the sea. Better not to have the single-use plastic in the first place. Bin liners can be made from things like starch. Those are generally for compostable waste, but I don't believe for a moment that companies wouldn't come up with something suitable pretty rapidly if there was money to be made.
Those companies are bad. There’s ways to train users and secure material on slack. Picking bad tools and firing users for trying to work around IT rules punishes innovation and results in worse employees.

If they just capriciously fire someone for deciding to use Slack in their functional team away from everyone else, sure.

But if one's org has a security mandated policy to use specific communication programs and services that one presumably agrees to and signs a document asserting their compliance to as a contingency of continued employment, and that person violates it anyway...I'm hard pressed to call the company "bad" when they take disciplinary or corrective action against that individual.

Some other comments here seem to indicate (at least in recent models?) that it's a visual indicator light on the phone that the camera/mic is being accessed. That might be sufficient, although I might also like a small audio cue on lock (or camera engage/disengage while locked).

Unfortunately, I doubt Android will ever be able to rely on a separate visual indicator of recording, since that's another hardware component and probably hard (if not impossible) for Android to enforce.
This is an important observation. In the Netherlands, where I live, I've had a number of people look at me with great surprise and mistrust when I mentioned that the Dutch have done a terrible job with this epidemic. The Guardian plots show that the Netherlands is one of the worst when it comes to under-reporting.

This is not to say however that the Swedes have done a good job. While their numbers are credible, their magnitude is still unacceptably large: 0.5/1000 Swedes have so far died of the corona virus.

"Some sexes" is a weird way of saying that, and no. However, women experimentally have a narrower IQ distribution, which means that low and high IQs tend to be dominated by men. It's (I suspect) why there are more male nobel laureates (and programmers) but also more male prisoners.

This is also the expected result if you're familiar with GMV as mediated by sex chromosome pseudodominance in most mammals, including humans.
And even edge cases should be supported. Maybe the default in Firefox should be to disable the camera when you lock your phone, but then it should have a setting to do otherwise, and it certainly shouldn't be rendered impossible by the OS (rather than, say, having a separate permission).
Twins-vs.-siblings studies are irrelevant to variation across large social groups. There's no way anyone can "write with confident language" about any of that variation being biological in nature, given that the social milieus are so starkly different.
> Most restaurants were closed by state orders and were faced with forcing employees to come off unemployment

And yet those businesses either didn't get the loans or got a minuscule amount comparatively speaking (especially to those who knew how to game the system).

> in no way are PPP loans close to rape or murder in magnitude of harm so it’s an inflammatory analogy with no purpose

It was meant as a comparative analogy (murder to rape, as PPP to <whatever is worse>) not from (rape as to PPP, as murder is to <whatever is worse>). That was my purpose - two bad immediately recognizable crimes in society with one being considered worse.

> Would you rather have 1% bad loans or a wave of bankruptcies and layoffs triggering a depression that last 10 years? What about 10% bad loans? 50%?

I'd rather have a civil debate about whether that's effective (see Japan's lost decade for comparisons of why quantitative easing has even longer potentially more disastrous issues). You're kidding yourself if you unilaterally think that the PPP program is the only way to alleviate yourself from a "wave of bankruptcies and layoffs triggering a depression that last 10 years". Again, we're just kicking the can down the road, like we always do.

Yeah, any regular unix will do, for example openbsd, freebsd or any linux distribution.

Is there a reason to compare the demographics to those of the US, when many Harvard students aren’t US citizens?

I have a feeling the stats make a bit more sense if you just assume Harvard is country-of-origin blind, and so compare Harvard admissions to the racial make-up of the entire global population (perhaps weighted by how much of each country’s population declares intent to attend a university.)
Not at all. The book is worth reading though. The 1984 movie is garbage and doesn't do the source material any justice.

Tell us what you saw in Wuhan (on 17th Jan).

Let me tell you what I think is the truth. All the places we visited in Wuhan looked like they were putting on a show. Whatever we asked them, they answered as if they had prepared hard with well-thought-out replies. However, Zhong Nanshan was extremely sharp - he kept asking follow-up questions, like: "Is there anything else?" "Are there any more cases?" "Is it really like you're saying, just that many cases?"

Eventually, under pressure, they relented and told us it seemed that there was one patient in the neurosurgery department who had infected 14 medical workers. But they also said those medical staff had not had their diagnoses confirmed.

...

We met a deputy-level national leader and officials from the National Health Commission. They were all quite frank. Our expert group reported that the situation was severe, and there must have been cases of human transmission, and that preventive measures needed to be taken immediately.'

SEEKING FREELANCER | REMOTE | INDIEHACKER CEO

Ideate, build and grow companies in partnership with stealth investor group run by former public Unicorn CIO and big 3 Consulting MD. We have hypotheses on several "indie.vc" type products, believe we can find more, and are willing to put capital (both $ and intellectual) behind getting them off the ground.

We are seeking an indie-hacker to validate ideas through rough and ready hacker product market fit testing (google ads, landing page conversion testing, simple wordpress sites, consumer insights) and then lead early customer development.

We will supply investment $$ to fund the costs of testing and validation, then make a go-no-go decision of further funding and/or bootstrapping. We will give significant equity to the indie-hacker. While you can be anywhere, our ideas are primarily US based markets, so knowing the culture would be helpful.

We are not looking for fancy application builders - that can come later - but more folks who can string together existing tooling to create initial no/low code apps for initial validation. Additionally, you should have a hacker / builder mindset where it comes to customer development.

If interested, please send an email to ceosearchemail@gmail.com
Pacific Rim definition I use: https://www.yourdictionary.com/pacific-rim. I'm not talking about the Americas.

Sweden did a lot better in Q1. It was the only western European country with positive growth, and it vastly outperformed everybody else. I expect they'll also outperform the rest of Europe in subsequent quarters, but this will remain to be seen. The death toll in Sweden is completely in line with its neighbors. This is evident when you look at All Cause Mortality. Their definition of "with covid" deaths is far more generous than their neighbors, so comparing the numbers from worldometers is not apples-to-apples.

My analysis suggests Sweden is very close to herd immunity, and they won't have a second wave. The countries that haven't reached herd immunity yet can choose between locking down in perpetuity or dragging out the process for no gain. There is no vaccin and the virus can't be contained or exterminated. People in the west won't put up with a totalitarian China style lockdown.

The research on mask effectiveness is still very contradictory. The health organizations of Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland all claims masks don't work, as did the CDC and WHO. Research clearly indicates some viral load is blocked by masks, but there aren't any studies that connect mask use with actual infection rates. We don't even know to what degree asymptomatic infections are a thing. I suspect a large percentage of infections happen because symptomatic people refuse to stay home, and anecdotal evidence from superspreading events supports this.

Deaths in the US are trending down and will continue to trend down in 95% of counties. There will be hotspots here and there in places that didn't get hit in the last few months, but there won't be a second wave. You see deaths doubling from here, I think that's exceedingly unlikely.
Taiwan. 7 people have died. No major economic impact. Now exporting masks to other countries. No brushing aside deaths of the elderly and disabled as if those people’s lives were nothing.

Their’s was demonstrably the best strategy and everyone else is just making excuses.
Positive claims bear the burden of proof. Not believing a God or gods exist is the null hypothesis. There is no need to prove that a God or gods do not exist; there is a need to prove its/their existence. Why do people have trouble understanding that?
Sweden also has better healthcare. Are there stats on survival rates of patients with serious symptoms?
On Distraction and Developer Productivity
In order to do their job effectively, the WHO needs access to populations that live under a dictatorship. You can very reasonably argue that the WHO should be more open and transparent, but they need to be very careful about how they operate inside of authoritarian states. China could simply pull out of the WHO and then the organization would lose visibility into a huge chunk of the world population. It's a difficult balance to strike. That's just realpolitik.

Instead, the United States is doing China the favor of pulling out so China doesn't have to. This gives China more control over the WHO. Ultimately, as the US abandons its position of global leadership it allows China to take on the mantle. This is a boon to the Chinese communist party.

If Obama had pulled out of the WHO during an epidemic I would think this is a supremely irresponsible decision. Though I will admit that if it were Obama making this decision I might suspect there could be factors that aren't known to the general public, rather than just narcissistic boneheaded idiocy.

You're missing the point here: modifying tcmalloc can give you percentage point improvement, but a copying collector can speed up the allocation by orders of magnitude (the allocation is done in a contiguous memory space, every object adjacent to each other and allicating just becomes a few asm instructions, like 5 or something).

It's like comparing speed of a bike vs airplane: the brand and the quality of the bike doesn't really matter…
Taiwan did so well because they knew that Chinese authorities couldn't be trusted; and they shared their info with WHO that they suspected human-to-human transmission very early, only for it to be ignored. There was plenty of reason to not trust Chinese authorities, they have an obvious track record
I assume that's Harvard vs US population demographics and not US college demographics? Both would be interesting as comparisons, and interesting in relation to each other.

Edit: To provide a little myself:
“In 2017, only about half (49.9 percent) of elementary school students and 54.7 percent of college students were non-Hispanic white,” said Kurt Bauman, Chief, Education and Social Stratification Branch.[1] So Harvard seems to be more diverse than other colleges, at least slightly. I suspect the census is combining the Jewish population into the non-hispanic white category, but haven't looked close enough to know. Even with that, Harvard is slightly more diverse than the average.

An assertion that X happened in the past is fundamentally different from an assertion that X exists.

The certitude one can achieve through evidence for (or against) the claim that the Earth is presently flat, can never be obtained for an assertion regarding a past event.

You're mixing apples and oranges.
I am not sure about "dominant races," but there has been something akin to this move in another aspect of society: gender. Here's an article that outlines the effects of finally having enough men in congress convinced to ratify the 19th amendment (enabling universal suffrage) [1]. In this case, the "dominating" culture is the more correct term than "dominant," since the proportion of males to females in society is usually close to 50/50 - but I think it does give us some idea about the kind of policy ramifications that might happen with more representative representation:

> Some of the legislation championed by women lawmakers, such as the enactment in the early 1990s of the Violence Against Women Act and the Family and Medical Leave Act, are remembered as signature achievements more than a generation later. But other victories were shockingly prosaic, correcting gender inequities that few would now believe lasted as long as they did, from giving women access to credit to ensuring that medical research included women as subjects.

A good example of the kind of prosaic mentioned: most people do not know that the NIH was not required to include female subjects for drug trials until 1993, though it is shockingly obvious that a drug could affect female bodies (e.g. reproductive system) differently [2].

For there to be a representation disparity you need a baseline. You could choose a different population as your baseline, but usually when talking about racial disparities in American institutions they use the American population
That is very helpful, a lot of inclusivity discussions are undermined because many people feel intentionally excluded, while the historically disenfranchised groups feel like they are only just gaining proportional representation. This leaves people very confused to what is going on, if they are not familiar with the historically disenfranchised group's perspectives and get blindsided by something that doesn't match their worldview and personal experience of struggle.

So in this case, white hispanic and non-Jewish white majority (which can be one in the same, to some of the people self identifying) do feel short changed and this can be accurate in this case, if they are not "legacy, athletes, staff/donors".

Obtaining support and resources for a more productive and inclusive society would need to not marginalize the power group capable of changing it.
