You sir, are a creep. Thanks a bunch for bringing eugenics into this.
To answer your question no and no. I suspect part of this is how the caste system plays into the politics of reservation in specifically IITs and 'top' Indian schools.
> generations of segregated reproduction have selected for higher IQ in the higher castes

There is no natural selection going on here. People are born into a caste and, for all intents and purposes, their caste identity is fixed for the rest of their lives. The idea that these people have somehow developed a "higher IQ" over "generations" simply by being born to a particular caste makes no sense.

Furthermore, the arguments made in the article have nothing to do with poor performance, (possibly) correlating with a lower IQ. The article details specific examples of antisocial behavior by upper caste Indian workers against their lower caste peers.
I enjoyed this story a lot—it felt like the perfect dose of futurism to start my day. I noticed some similarities with both the overall tone and the first chapter specifically of Fall; or, Dodge in Hell by Neal Stephenson, but I have to admit that for me personally that was a positive thing.

I haven't done Windows development in over 10 years, but I really wasn't expecting to see what appears to be a stripped down implementation of AppKit wrapped around the old Win32 APIs, like it's 1999. (Nor Hungarian Notation).

I thought WPF or WinRT or UWP was supposed to have replaced Win32 by now.
The USA/Canada should just refuse to enforce any ruling against a tech company from another country. Europe can either put up a Great Firewall or find something else to do.
Awesome troll even suggesting implicitly that it would be OK to discriminate based on objectively lower IQ.

You're missing the point completely. Equal opportunity has been replaced by equal outcomes - except for the 1%

>I'm interested in your logic about why you feel government agencies should be allowed to hack into private companies, and why you feel activity like this should be allowed to be swept under the rug?

I didn't make any value judgment on this. I'm not even that interested in this. I even qualified my statement on Snowden by saying that you can make a case that the disclosure of the collection programs had public interest and journalist value. If that's all Snowden did, then yes, you can also make the argument that he performed a heroic action (I wouldn't agree, but you can make that argument). But that's not what he did and people want to ignore the uncomfortable part. The man stole hundreds of thousands of intelligence documents that had no public interest value and (willingly or unwillingly) handed it to China and Russia.

There is reproductive selection in that people from higher castes will tend to mate with people from higher castes and vice-versa.
>> Nexus was a reasonably priced unlocked reference phone targeted to Power Users

Nexus One: $530
Nexus S: $530
Galaxy Nexus: $200 with standard 2 year contract (basically the same as any flagship phone at that time)
Nexus 4: $300
Nexus 5: $350
Nexus 6: $650
Nexus 6p: $500
Nexus 5x: $379

Arguably Nexus 4 & 5 were the odd ones out with their relatively low pricing. The others (excluding the 5x) were pretty much on part with flagship phone prices at launch time.

Normal in this sense means that all the frequency of all digits approaches a uniform distribution as the length of the sample increases towards infinity. Basically if we could see "all of" π and count all the 0s, 1s 2s, 3s, &c to 9 all the counts would be equal.

I seem to be associated with that quote (and of course I didn't say it -- indeed when I spoke to Quanta I used factorials plus one). When the article appeared I emailed Kevin Hartnett immediately to suggest replacing that line with something like "...using 1 plus the product of all known primes" but he seemed to be happy with what he'd written -- his argument was that what he wrote was ambiguous but not definitely wrong.

>>>Wait, does that mean that snooping by US intelligence agencies on people in EU is required for Facebook operation?

Any US-based company is required to submit to warrants/subpoenas (assuming they're legal/proper) from intelligence agencies. It may certainly be the case that courts would hold Facebook in contempt if they refused - even if they refused in order to comply with EU law.

As someone who hasn't used Python in ages, and finds it quite unreadable, I would be saddened and dismayed if instead of shell (which is the lingua franca) a project used Python everywhere.

The exception being if it's a Python app in the first place, then it's fine since it can be assumed you need to be familiar with Python to hack on it anyway. For example I write a lot of Ruby scripts to include with Sinatra and Rails apps.

For a general purpose approach however, everybody should learn basic shell. It's not that hard and it is universal.
There are two different privacy issues at play.

1. You consent to being tracked in exchange for services consumed (Google Maps Navigation, for example).

2. You don't consent to it but you're still being tracked. Not only that, the data is then sold to any and every buyer. For example: https://mikeindustries.com/blog/archive/2019/07/superhuman-i...

OP has problems with #2.

> Copyright, on the other hand, is much easier.

Sure, no reason why privacy can't be too. Here's a simple framework to think about Privacy online: Provide an opt-out for tracking, selling / sharing data etc etc.
But you’ve also cited that emotions are the result of stimulus. Both hunger and anger (in the examples you’ve given) are the result of conditions external to ones free will.

The positive spin on this is if we are going to apply a software development mindset to free will then you can also argue that the value of software isn’t its sentience but it’s usefulness. For example computer games don’t need sophisticated AI to be enjoyable. So however we argue the definition of free will, that shouldn’t take anything away from the experience of life.
Airbnb has been open about its willingness to work with regulators. They are honest about the fact that they are in a grey area and would like regulators to define the rules. but they also push back to say look, Airbnb is providing a service that is missed in the market so don't be quick to just ban it because hotels hate us.

U.S. law professor here. Yeah, it's really embarrassing.

The bullshit story for why this is all the case is that it's priced into products and services---which are supposedly cheaper than they might otherwise be if companies had to fear massive liability and regulation.

The real story for why this is the case is the combination of (a) fake contract law, in which we pretend people agreed to things that they in no way could have agreed to---including all those arbitration agreements that strip away class action rights, (b) a federal system that lets Congress preempt state economic regulations, including consumer protection regulations,[1] and (c) most fundamentally, the point that Mancur Olson identified in Logic of Collective Action: narrow special interests with intense preferences are lots better at getting their wills achieved than diffuse general interests; in the U.S. political lobbying is basically unrestrained; big industries like telecom have just utterly captured legislatures and regulators at every level.

At some point, wouldn't it be difficult for people to tell? A person who grew up outside of India will only have a passing understanding of this nuance anyway, because they would not have been regularly exposed to the other group, so their entire understanding will be from what is passed to them by their parents. And the next generation will have next to zero understanding.

Plus, those nuances will probably get erased by adoption of the customs of their new country. Like they begin to prefer local adaptations of their cuisine, they speak like kids from their schools, etc.

To be honest, this appears to be vastly inferior to Wrike, for example.

Google is entering a crowded market, with a so-so offering, with zero guarantee that it won't be cancelled in a year (judging by history, it most likely will).

I'm sorry, I used to get really excited about new offerings from Google, and would jump on the bandwagon.

I'm a lot more cautious now. I can't see a reason to use this tool as part of any business I'm involved with. The risk is high, the reward is low, and the features aren't competitive with others in the space.

IMHO, this should have been open sourced as a good-will project, I'd definitely be interested then.

Even an open-core type model would attract me.

Not a historian, but _Why the West Rules - For Now_ by Ian Morris was a good read. Covers the sweep of world history with the audacious goal of quantifying human development at all moments in history. It mainly focuses on the west (starting in the Mesopotamian region) and the east (starting in the area surrounding the Yellow river) and addresses questions like "why didn't China discover America" (basically - too far away). You might also find it interesting!

The EU has been doing a great job when it comes to safeguarding user privacy. Tons of apps that require your location for one purpose, end up selling it to third-party brokers for other reasons. The EU was able to find this in one of their reports.

I really hope all nations start to implement serious controls here. In my opinion you should need a license store user location data and they should be revoked immediately if you're found not protecting it, or retaining it longer than you need to.

For example a rideshare service should only store your location for the duration of your ride and then should delete it within 10 days or so. I love ridesharing, but I don't like the idea of someone being able to know everywhere I've been for the last 2 years.
Linking to killedbygoogle.com where more than half of things are not actually kiled by Google is not a good argument. I agree that products getting killed by Google is a concern and a few comment accurately point out and add to discussions while most of the others just keep repeating like a meme. Very rarely the discussion feels like a discussion.

OP brought up another point about Google being a 20 year old company so you are ought to see lot of products being shut down over the time. While the reply had nothing to do with that but instead resorted to ad hominem attack.
This is a fairly terrible take for a number of reasons, but let's assume good faith and indulge this.

* What makes you think that, at any point, lower caste people had an on-average lower IQ? The same has been said for plenty of minorities that have been historically discriminated against, such as people of color and women, because opressors are in control of the narrative and see themselves as superior

* What does "segregated" (in your original comment) or "selective reproduction" even mean for you? There are more lower caste indians than total Amercians. Are americans lower IQ because of "segregated reproduction"?
Yes, but let's be honest, most retirees today aren't living off dividends. Except for those who are indirectly living off them through pension plans. And those huge pensions and funds will be the first to receive a bailout.

The US viewed the initial years of WW1 as an European war and there was little appetite to become involved in spite of the cultural connections between the US and France and the UK (and Italy and Russia to a lesser extent.)
For the reasons cited elsewhere in this thread, the US did declare war in April of 1917 but, starting with a very small full time army, it wasn't until early 1918 that the buildup of US forces was significant. Over 2 million men and women had arrived in France by the summer of 1918. While there were several divisions that fought with the British and Australians most of the US campaigns were in various parts of the French sectors which tend to be, in my opinion, overlooked or minimized by UK historians. Significant actions included the 2nd Battle of the Marne, the Asine Marne campaign to reduce that salient, the reduction of the St.Mihiel salient, and the Muse Argonne offensive in which over 27,000 Americans lost their lives. For having only part of a year in significant combat the US lost a little over 53,000 battle deaths and another >60,000 to disease including a significant number to the Influenza Pandemic.

Some historians argue that the entry of the US into the war and the campaigns the US was involved, often in joint action with the French, in addition to the UK / Commonwealth campaigns of 1918, in served to push the Germans to the point of collapse in 1918 when the general expectation of the allied leadership was that it would take until 1919 to force the Germans out of the territories they occupied.
There are some areas of India, such as Bihar, where 40% of the populace cannot even read or write, let alone be educated. Such areas tend to be socially backward. Other areas are not that backward.

Yes, the ancient caste system still exists in India, in the backward areas. But in other areas it is only relevant when it comes to politics, mainly. See:

It's all lies. I used to believe this line of thought about China. "We aren't expansionist like the US, we just want to do things our way inside of the country". It's not true.

China as a unified country has never been as large as it is today. They are actively taking over parts of Nepal, they have taken pieces of land from India, they invaded and took over Tibet, the are nearing genocidal strategies to eradicate any semblance of culture or different-think amongst the Uyghur and people of Inner-Mongolia (bet you haven't even heard of that suppression! They have banned the Mongolian language in schools and nomads are no longer allowed to _ride horses_ as of a few weeks ago!). Not to mention what happened in Hong Kong.

If not for India, they would have already taken over Bhutan. If not for their fighting spirit, they would have tried to take over Vietnam. They are building islands and taking over the South China sea. They are practicing debt trap diplomacy in Africa.

They are the most expansionist, imperialist regime in Modern times second only to USA. Chinese people feed us this line, that they aren't expansionist, that they aren't imperialist, that they are only inward looking. For some reason we in the West take them at their word. Look at their actions, the picture is not so rosy. As much as I hate Trump, his pressure on China has been a welcome policy shift.
The thing that blows me away about X-Com is that it shipped with difficulty settings that initially didn't work. People didn't notice at first!
