Yup that article from 2012 Techcrunch with the broken links is really helping me Google.

I do the same, but I read that that is also sending your IP all around the internet, which can have repercussions? The alternative is to not use a recursive resolver, but just punt to one of the "safer" ones such as 1.1.1.1?

edit: downvoting honest questions?
I think you're right. The article is talking about totalitarianism not fascism (it uses the two terms interchangeably).

Still, most of the article's points stand: "fascist" is used to mean "bully," something that Orwell pointed out in the 40s. If you're going to call Tom Cotton a "fascist" then you should also call any mouthpiece of the CCP "fascist".
You seem to have a lot of legal theories that are based on your own understanding with no citations in cite. I suggest you do some research and either modify your opinions or add citations that show everyone else is wrong and you are right.
I highly recommend you look into SymPy, which offers symbolic math computations on top of standard Python programming capabilities. I checks all the boxes except for speed—since it is Python after all...

What makes SymPy great for learning is the API it provides closely matches the math verbs: expand, factor, simplify, etc. so it feel very similar to what doing math on paper would be like.

There is an online shell[1] you can use to try out some commands, and I've written a tutorial[2] that showcases some of the most useful commands.

No, but it's a more prevalent problem in the actual standard library of Go. The Java standard library does not regularly use final classes with private constructors and setters as the parameter and return types in its APIs (which would also prevent people from implementing those APIs). It uses interfaces.

It's thought that these came south from Canada. That's a fairly significant distance. They can fly miles in a single day [0] and specimens in Washington have been found 50 miles apart.

If there's evidence of multiple other hives in the area, a controlled burn may get some of them, but the scope of the fire necessary could also be massive.

I'm not saying the option shouldn't be part of our arsenal. And if this is an area prone to wild-fires, then as you said it could assist there as well. However, I'm not sure it's a good option at this time, especially considering the side effects on other local indigenous species.

I'd be surprised if one of the conditions for the lucrativeness of this payment is paying Apple to not compete in Google's bread & butter, which is why I don't see there's any risk that Google would stop paying for placement whilst iOS maintains its valuable user base.

You can still edit /etc/resolv.conf. If it has a "Do not edit" comment in it, it's probably a symlink to some file that's dynamically managed (most likely to automatically use or fallback to the DNS server advertised on the network, as needed for e.g. captive portals). Just replace the symlink with a text file with your prefered DNS server in there.

"To answer your categorical imperative: yes, I would much prefer to live in a society where genetic differences in the intelligence potential between individuals and groups is acknowledged, because it would lead to far more sensible social policies which would benefit all - high IQ or low IQ."

By including groups there, are you going so far as to say, without further information, that "Group X statistically has attribute Y and individual Z is in Group X, therefore Z has (or perhaps should be treated as having) attribute Y?

Further, what specific "sensible social policies" would you have in mind? Reproductive assistance for higher-IQ segments? Inhibition for lower-IQ segments? Testing for immigration? What else?
On the other hand, many of the people living there are not at fault for any of this. They just ... live there.

This is why I have such mixed feelings about these kind of sanctions: sure, I don't really disagree with what you're saying, but on the other hand in practice it means hurting normal people just building a life for themselves.
if you are buying something with a credit card then the company knows your legal identity.

There is nothing stopping you have a "real name" account for oculus. You don't need to use that account for anything else.

and no, they won't ban you. They'll only do that if you are stupid enough to pay with a credit card with a different name. because that's a strong signal for fraud.

And again, if you're using a credit card they know your legal name and a boat load of other details.

That was the stated purpose. Other purposes didn't make it into the law and never should have made it. Public doesn't need to grant some control over information to hoarders of IP so they could make profit on it if it doesn't benefit the public.

> So they really think the infestation is small enough that it's feasible to find and destroy all the nests by hand?

No, they probably think that it is likely that, if that is not the case, it is likely to still be small enough that the progress can be significantly slowed by that means until a more complete solution is found.

Given that magnitude matters a lot and that it's a major threat to bee populations and through them much of the agriculture of the country, stalling tactics are a lot better than nothing.

Why do you believe that private companies should be coerced into hosting content they disagree with? Seems rather dystopian and authoritarian to me.
If you’re into any of the stuff at all, I’d highly recommend Joe‘s YouTube channel. He’s just a consummate professional, very high standards of quality, and very deliberate and methodical about development of this technology.

He’s since started working on the next generation flight controller/avionics platform: AVA. He’s wrapping up the first iteration of a dual motor retro-rocket landing capability and it’s possible we’ll see the first propulsively landed solid-fuel (!!!) rocket flight yet this year.
He's had a "dollop" and a "behind the bastards" done about him. I'd recommend listening to both. The Oxford union with Mehdi Hassan was also entertaining
What’s with the walking vs owning a car? They are in no way mutually exclusive. I walked about three hours yesterday and it was easy (and I own a car too). I download things from YouTube I don’t need to watch and just start walking/hiking.

You will burn anywhere from 75-200 calories/mile walking/hiking. I did like 14 miles yesterday. I will take weight off of you or allow you to eat whatever you want the easiest vs perceived exertion.

Side benefit, the world is strange and people are weird and you get a good dose of that. Saw a ground squirrel running down a trail carrying a severed rabbits head the other day, fun!
> No, you'd blame the manufacturer for building an exploding car.

A better analogy would be accidentally crashing the vehicle - an action resulting from negligence or incompetence rather than some 1/1000000 chance of your car exploding due to a failure in functional safety. If someone is operating a vehicle in a manner that it was not intended to be used should we blame the manufacturer? You expect litigation to follow someone forgetting their keys, driving their car into a lake, or running out of gas on a busy freeway?

The solution should be to mandate more certifications and security audits for high-risk organizations. The safety mechanisms should be legal and not technical; you shouldn't be permitted to operate a business dealing with sensitive data if you haven't been audited. Delegating more responsibility to the system architects doesn't solve the fact that you have incompetent people performing the administrative tasks and malicious actors abusing this incompetence. It isn't about someone making a mistake, it's about someone being irresponsible in a security sensitive environment - something that should carry severe legal repercussions.

Ok, so Taleb's argument was:

> “IQ” is a stale test meant to measure mental capacity but in fact mostly measures extreme unintelligence (learning difficulties), as well as, to a lesser extent (with a lot of noise), a form of intelligence, stripped of 2nd order effects

Right before the conclusion, the author shows us this chart comparing incomes in IQ cohorts:
https://www.jsmp.dk/posts/2019-06-16-talebiq/iq_files/figure...

Maybe it's because I'm not a high-IQ, R-programming brain-genius,
but it seems like the low-IQ distribution has a very distinct shape with a low mean and leftward skew,
whereas the mid and high-IQ distributions look pretty similar,
with a modest advantage to the high-IQ cohort.
That seems to confirm Taleb's claim that IQ mostly measures unintelligence,
and has a much smaller impact on the higher end.
The guy's asking a different question I think, about extents. I've done a quick look but can't find a link to them, IIRC they were used early on, in multics, and had IIRC again, pages underlying them, but they weren't fixed length.

Odd that I can't find anything instantly. - ok, they're called segments it seems.

Look for the word "segment" here, you'll see it immediately. http://homepage.divms.uiowa.edu/~jones/opsys/notes/22.shtml
> The effect of all this push about "mental health" has been to convince more and more people to believe they have mental health problems.

> Suicide rates ... are skyrocketing.

I'm confused. You seem to be suggesting that having more conversations about mental health is to blame for an increase of people committing suicide.

This is the exact opposite of my lived experience.

Conversations about my mental health and my problems are why I'm alive (and have no intention of taking my own life) today.

If you have a different lived experience, then fair enough.

But I'd respectfully suggest to take care painting with such a wide, sweeping brush next time. Life ain't binary. Especially when it comes to mental health.

Could this be because Google doesn't have to compete?

My impression is that Google Search is worse now than it was in the past. They've gotten complacent. So if they had to fight for users instead of taking them for granted through paying off Apple and Mozilla, then maybe Google would have to perform better. Everyone wins? (Except AAPL stockholders.)
We have a few go web apps to maintain and, honestly it's not a pleasant experience.

- Package management is terrible.
- Development on Mac is not a great experience (someone in the team purchased a paid IDE, everyone else just run everything through a docker image, are we missing something obvious?).
- The language is not flexible enough (lack of generics?) and code is significantly longer.
- Lots of quirks.

I'm sure you can learn the language and overcome these small annoyances (and that's exactly what we did, because we wanted to squeeze more performance out of our services), but personally I think nowadays we have better languages which perform just as well (eg. Rust).
I don't code with it but I use Hugo (a static site generator) that's written in Go because it's ridiculously fast. Ruby and JavaScript static site generators I've tried end up taking several seconds to generate a handful of pages when Hugo spits out hundreds of pages in less than a second.

It's pretty crazy how used we are now to slow dynamic languages.

I also like how Hugo is available as a single binary file - much simpler compared to the complex build chain of a typical JavaScript app.
Yes, Teams uses a function that is unsupported by Xwayland (XGetImage, if I remember the backtrace correctly), so it crashes. I worked around it with a rather convoluted setup that involves running Xephyr under Xwayland, then running Teams under Xephyr (via setting `DISPLAY`), and running vncviewer under Xephyr connected to a VNC server (wayvnc) sharing my screen on the parent wayland instance. Then I tell Teams to share the "whole screen" (ie the entire Xephyr window) and quickly maximize the vncviewer window (within the Xephyr window).

To be able to maximize vncviewer you do need a compositor running under Xephyr too. I picked i3 to be the most minimal. Again, i3 can be told to run in the Xephyr window by setting `DISPLAY`.

One caveat is that I still use Teams under Wayland to join calls for the audio, so this setup means I need two Teams instances to join the same call. This works for meetings but not for individual calls. Of course if you want to use the Xephyr'd Teams to do audio too there shouldn't be any problem; I just prefer having easy access to the Teams window to mute myself, etc instead of having to reach into the Xephyr window and unmaximize the vncviewer window.

People on the #sway IRC channel on Freenode suggested an alternative might be to use v4l2loopback to create a "camera" device that is sourced from the screen and then have Teams use it as a webcam, but I couldn't get v4l2 to work on my distro (it kept insisting my distro's ffmpeg couldn't encode video even though it could) so I didn't investigate further.
Oculus won't let you use multiple devices registered to one Facebook account
When Feynman did his IQ test they still used Age Scale, meaning IQ of 125 meant you are mentally 25% older. So if a 8 year old knows as much as a 10 year old you have IQ 125. It is a pretty bad measure which is why we no longer use it.

So when people say "Feynman had iq of 125" it is very different from someone having 125 IQ today.
> Why would that be the case? There are a lot of empirical observations that we can draw useful knowledge from, without resorting to mathematical theories and quantifiable experiments.

Because we humans are excellent at convincing ourselves of seeing or believing things that are simple untrue[0]. It turns out that numbers - while they can still be messed with knowingly or unknowingly - are a very useful tool for not only combating your own biases but also convincing others that our conclusions avert these.

Empirical observations are certainly immensely useful - for forming a hypothesis. If the hypothesis can successfully predict certain non-trivial effects, that elevates it over hypotheses that cannot do so.

> I don't think that only scientific (or at least scientific-looking) arguments should be considered valid.

As I said, arguments can be valid without being scientific. But mere human perception is a very fallible thing to build research, results and, eventually, policy on.

While polarization is bad now, it's nowhere close to historical extremes, and it's not even as bad as it was during the post-Vietnam era only a few decades ago.

As for fear of doxing: plenty of people openly supported and voted for George Wallace (a noted white Supremacist) back in the day, and even Roy Moore (accused pedophile) just 2 years ago. Proud Boys members openly pose for the cameras even as they espouse racist views, and QAnon members brag about being part of QAnon.

While speaking in the Senate in 1993 in favor of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act, Biden referred to young people who have become criminals as "predators."

What's False

Biden did not use the term "super-predator," nor did he specifically refer to Black people. It was Hillary Clinton who, while speaking about the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act a few years later, referred to young gang members as "super-predators." "

First, lets establish whether there is a correlation between IQ and wealth before we conclude the causation.

Now if you manage to convince me that there is a correlation, twin studies is not enough to convince me of the causation. Twin studies are controversial as they do not provide a random sample and have a number of inherit biases.

And even if you find a way to convince me that the causation is not wealth → IQ, it is still not enough to convince me that IQ causes wealth. You still have to eliminate any third variable that causes both.

This is all after you’ve convinced me that IQ is a useful and interesting metric (see nibling comments), as well as useful and unbiased, all of which is up for debate in academic studies as of yet. Good luck.
