The first one is indeed true. But i hope even acknowledging the theoretical possibility is not mistaken/admonished as racial supremacy and scientific inquiry gets hurt.

The second one, I don't think anybody says that there is no nurture component. Acknowledging theoretical possibility of a nature component via genetics is not saying that there is no nurture component, and that it does not confound any test. We would need to design better tests.

For third, that is just a definition issue. You're saying that it is wrong to investigate differences between races, but fine to do so for ethnicities. So, let us look if there are cognitive differences between different ethnicities?

Fourth is just downright false. Subgroups living in Africa are generally darker, taller, and better runners. Subgroups in east Asia generally shorter. None of the statements about physical characteristics or intelligence are about extremes or broad strict inequalities about all members. They are always statistical distributions over the whole population.

Fifth is the crux of the matter. Are we going to stop scientific inquiry because of that? Instead of trying to stop scientific inquiry, we should debate why our liberal values are useful and should hold even if there are genetic components that determine intelligence.
I don't advocate for using base instead of this.

I advocate using base for base.

I advocate against using this, as does Visual Studio 2017 and above [1].

But then, some other friends just don't like it. Still a personal thing I suppose.

The drilling fluid(mud) is both inside the drill pipe and in the annulus between the pipe and the rock.

After the drilling is complete, cement grout is pumped into the annular space, replacing the mud. then the mud in the pipe will be replaced with sea water. Then they will pull the fiber optic cable through the pipe.

Drill pipe comes in various sizes, probably about 4-8 inch diameter for this job.

On a more serious note, there have also been countless quality of life improvements, like high-resolution graphics, reworked UI, or copy-and-paste (literally just Ctrl-C / Ctrl-V, I have used it even without robots, its so convenient). If you have radar coverage, the map allows zooming in fully (rendered just like the normal view) and you can place blueprints and issue deletion commands anywhere on the map without moving.

Incidentally, you can also order artillery strikes to play a 'prank' on your unsuspecting friend who is standing motionlessly. (Which is why I made a habit out of standing close to the most expensive thing in the vicinity.)

For discussion, I advance a hypothesis that's occurred to me: at least some of the same people are behind both QAnon and c19study.com. I don't have hard evidence of this, but in looking at the social graphs around the c19study Twitter accounts, I see significant QAnon representation (the account @LynnFynn3 shows prominently in the intersection of the two).

Like QAnon, the people behind c19study are very careful to hide their true identities. I find it plausible that they're marketing the same basic stuff to different audiences, c19 to people who fall for stuff that sounds like science that isn't.

Of course, there's another explanation for the overlap, that people who are susceptible to conspiracy theories promoted by anonymous instigators are likely to buy into both. This hypothesis is consistent with them being completely separate, just using similar tactics.

I have a pretty good idea who the coder is behind the c19 site. If you're a reporter who would find this useful, or somebody who is better than me at tracking this stuff down, feel free to get in touch. (Note: other people, including Brian Krebs, have had a crack at this)
I agree that universities should do more to control costs. I'll push back just a bit that trimming all "fat" would make universities better. Where I am, the "fat" proposed for trimming is support for study abroad, music education, research conferences, and other things that enrich the lives of students and (hopefully) benefit society as a whole.
The heat management is one of my biggest frustrations with the ONI gameplay loop. You go from gradually adding niceties to the base like lighting and plumbing to immediately needing some unholy water-cooled system that uses more power than the rest of the base combined, is stupid expensive in refined metals, and doesn't even permanently solve the problem because soon the heatsink waste pool is boiling and searing any dupe that walks past the general area. Oh and you have to do all this before the greenhouse gets slightly too warm and dooms the colony to starvation.

I'd say the defining feature of a trade show is businesses demonstrating their specialized products for members of the profession. The word "show" is also important here.

Bitcoin was not designed as a state machine, but as a way to store transactions which can be used to construct a state machine offchain.

Ethereum tries to implement a fully self contained state machine in its system. This is where all its problems come from.

Because every Ethereum miner has to validate every transaction in the entire network, a Proof of Work model is too inefficient for them so they have to transition to Proof of Stake (Whether this will succeed or not, or whether it will even launch or not, is outside of this topic). This is also why Ethereum transaction fees are so high nowadays.

Also because the main design goal of Ethereum was to make a "Turing complete blockchain" (which it technically isn't), it had to add a new concept called "gas", which adds an additional layer of complexity (compared to bitcoin). This gas concept has resulted in all kinds of UX challenges.

Bitcoin has its own flaws too. Most Bitcoin investors no longer believe Bitcoin was meant to be used for transactions, but just as a way to store value, like digital gold. So there's not much you can do with it other than speculative investment, hoping that the price will skyrocket at some point. Basically, it's not really interesting for most hackers, it's become a wall street toy.
For what it's worth the levels.fyi number is ~10% low for me, and I'm in Boston (US East Coast).

I agree that outside the US comp is generally substantially lower. But given Mozilla's history and the people they would want to hire, I think it would be extremely difficult for them to move to a model where they primarily employ developers in cheaper countries.
That's a little bit complicated. Yes, the law behind German works councils (Betriebsverfassungsgesetz) only applies to workers employed in Germany (Territorial principle), but the Federal Labour Court (Bundesarbeitsgericht) has ruled that international employees could also be govererned by the German works councils, if international employees are integrated into the German part of the company and are really depended on management in Germany (»„Ausstrahlung“ des Inlandsbetriebs« [1]). But it's a narrow definition.

But the law doesn't forbid applying agreements between the management and the works council (Betriebsvereinbarungen) to employees outside of Germany.

It's funny, I remember seeing the original thread on 4chan for QAnon, not sure if I was actually on the site or just saw a screencap.

Anyways I thought it was kind of dumb and tolling, got a laugh and went on with my day. I think 2-3 days later I see QAnon being talked about on Fox News and CNN. My exact thought was "some guy in his basement must be thrilled that his shitpost on 4Chan landed on national TV".

It's crazy how people have fallen for it. Because if you read the actual conspiracy theory of QAnon it's batshit insane. The world order is being taken over by the Obama's and Democrats and the only guy that can save us is that dude that used to be on The Apprentice.

Like how do people not read that and think that the story is just too perfect to be true. Like seriously: Obamas are bad, Democrats and Hillary wants to take over the world. But WAIT WAIT!!! DONALD J TRUMP of all people is going to save you from the evil Democrats!

My main annoyances are:

* It is slower (might not matter depending on your workload).

* It requires manual tuning to set the correct RAM limit (whereas Docker containers on Linux are just normal processes so they just use however much RAM they need like any other process).

* It's difficult to use the normal administration tools you're familiar with: you can't, from the host, see containers running in top, or attach a debugger to them. You have to either open a shell in the container and install all the typical GNU/Linux tools there, or have some weird remote debugging setup.

When you install Linux, where is the OS downloaded from? Where do the software packages and updates reside? What about the source code?

If you blocked Microsoft (Azure + github), Google, Amazon (AWS), and Akamai, I'd be surprised if you could run any mainstream flavour of Linux.

It seems like the media is talking about this more than anyone else at this point. There have literally been over 2000 articles written to debunk this. The content has been banned from reddit, twitter and other platforms.

All of the TLS handshake configurations are hidden from your UI. It is hard to see "what's going on". You aren't shown a cert signature each time you request a page. Yet the lock icon doesn't get hate.

The non-domain information in a URL is useless for making security decisions for virtually 100% of users. If anything, it has negative utility since you can make URLs nearly arbitrarily confusing as part of a phishing attack.

Could be low market volume, or drive for low weight. I share your observation, but last I knew, many things on bikes are made by hand. Carbon fiber frames are laid by hand, nice wheels are built by hand, bicycles are assembled & adjusted by hand... and a nice bike might weight 20lbs while a nice moto might weight 400lbs.

If there was anything on a bike that seems strangely expensive, my mind goes to shocks. Fox sells a small number of models across the entire mountain bike industry, and participates in multiple other large industries as well, so you'd think they would have plenty of volume for economies of scale & amortization of R&D.

You don't have to be in a frat to have the "college experience", but you should explore interests outside of your direct course of study and meet new people.

If I had to guess, the animated point cloud isn't tasked with transferring lots of (megabytes) data, but is probably a proprietary version of a QR code, both for aesthetics and security through obscurity. Its format may also have higher information density than a QR code, which would work well for encrypted data.

I imagine the heavy lifting is done on Apple's server. The data being transferred locally is likely a GUID/IMEI/etc + a nonce.
I don't think the VPN is targeted to people like you or me, who know about them already and know how to research and trust them. It's targeted towards a more "everyday" user, which might not think to go to Mullvad to buy it, or necessarily worry about the privacy implications (personally, I've heard good things about Mullvad and switched over after PIA sold), and just like the ease of integration through buying it with Firefox.
Heh. That’s the US college experience. College in France is not that fun. You mostly go to class and then go home. I met most of my friends outside of campus during student organized events, so the only benefit was that I was living in a student town where people moved to to go to its university, but the university itself was eventless.

FWIW... I work at a (~50 person) engineering design and fabrication firm. Our cost for Sr. scientist level folks is about ~300k USD fully burdened.

At a big pharma company in the bay area... that number was more like ~400k USD for a principle engineer.

So for Moz: ~286k USD per employee in the bay area is cheap, IMO... and I imagine their is a big distribution in that number across employee level and job descriptions.

Since you guys are digging into the MediaSync work, you should look into Croquet (https://www.croquet.io). It's a novel synchronization framework for ensuring connected clients stay perfectly in sync and that it scales up appropriately.

I think it might make sense for the "multiplayer" aspects of what you're trying to build.

Check out the demos: https://www.croquet.io/demos . They have demos of synchronizing video playback, text editing, object manipulation, etc.

I didn’t really see these nuances until I was diagnosed with ADHD and prescribed stimulant medication. It basically gives me a large tank of “rainbow juice” that works for any task and lasts 4-6 hours.

Going back to the parent comment, one remarkable effect of this is that I rarely desire to play video games like I used to. It seemed like I always had enough juice for video games but rarely for other life obligations, but with the rainbow juice I am just as motivated to do all that other stuff as I am to play video games.

We know that there are people who take a long time to recover. This is pretty widely reported but we don’t know how long that will end up taking or what permanent impacts there are since it’s a new disease and treatment options are being rapidly pursued.

There are studies looking at permanent changes to various bodily systems - see for example, this one finding cardiac differences in recovered patients:

There are similar concerns for liver damage, reduced lung capacity, and neurological effects.

Obviously it’s too soon to have high precision numbers for this or level of impact on the rest of someone’s life but it definitely means that the deniers’ favorite framing of the outcomes as 99% ok, 1% fatal is leaving out a lot for the sake of political correctness.

I really like Golang's choice to not offer inheritance, but instead an alternative: embedding. Which is really just composition, but where 1. the child is named implicitly after its type, and 2. its methods and members are automatically promoted to visibility in the "namespace" of the parent (but still "live in" the child.)

So, if you've got Go code like this:

type B struct {
int c
}

type A struct {
B
}

...then if you type `anA.c`, it's basically the same as if you had written `anA.B.c`. It's just sugar.

And, as with inheritance, members+methods defined explicitly on the parent (A) shadow the ones from the child (B), when you're accessing them on the parent. So you can do something that looks a lot like "subclass method overriding" on the child. (Though it isn't, quite, because the embedded child's methods, once reached, will only call each-other, oblivious to the parent. In C++ terms, there are no "virtual" methods.)

This is more often used for decoration or aggregation (e.g. Go's bufio.ReadWriter, which is just a struct embedding a bufio.Reader and a bufio.Writer), but it can be used to simulate inheritance pretty well, with almost none of the disadvantages that come from having inheritance built into your type system.

(For example, there's no need for the Liskov Substitution Principle in Golang, since you can't pass an embedding "subclass" (A) instance into a method parameter that wants the "base class" type (B). If you want that behavior, you opt into it explicitly by defining the method parameter as being of an interface type, where the interface is one that B implements; then, anything that embeds B will—unless it shadowed B's methods with methods of different signatures—also meet that interface.)
Developers are also falling into this trap regularly with distributed systems. MongoDB famously claimed to be "eventually consistent" but in reality failed to deliver on this promise. The MongoDB authors then tried to weasel their way out of it the same way you are describing and many developers rightfully called them out on it.
I'm curious actually, is uranium processing not deterministic? Does it not depend on the seed? Or is that seed only for the map and does it not influence other random events like biters and uranium?

The first multiplayer versions basically synchronised with each other and then ran independently, just executing the keyboard input from other players basically. No central server calling the shots. This was hell development-wise, but I think that concept hasn't changed too much actually: you may have a central server that tells your client whether you can really pick up an item from a chest or whether it's already gone, but the local simulation is still local (it's not as if there is an incoming video stream or stream of all entities that have moved; far from it, it's a handful of kilobytes per second). The random engines almost have to be synchronized as I never noticed more data traffic during biter attacks or such.

I do wonder what the practical use is, though, aside from just being pretty cool. In a real world situation I think the recognizability of a QR code as something you can scan with your phone is an important part of the value.
