>In the facilities of Dinamo, one of Brazil’s largest coffee warehouses operators, there’s a lot of product stuck waiting for containers

Can anyone comment on the cost difference to ship something from Brazil to US in containers vs as air cargo? Also, isn't shipping via trucks or trains an option?
But, see, they could lose more by not losing 25 cents on each hot dog. The real question is, if they raised the price of hot dogs, would they make less money, or more? They think the answer is "less". I'm not prepared to say that they're wrong...
Turing machines are a minimal model that don't map easily to normal computers.

This, on the other hand, is a very normal computer. It's just that it has an extremely small amount of memory. If you put a RAM chip between those output wires and input wires then it could be Turing complete.
Yes, that reason is easier UL and CE certification.

There's nothing "leftist" about pompous, anti-working class people.
Apple doing it doesn't make it better.
Doesn't matter. If they can't export/ship/sell it, then they don't make money, so they go back to growing drugs.
At this point its plain text documents for me. No set rules. If I need it in multiple places/version control/etc I throw it in a git repo.
Thanks for the question. Not now. It is a beta version. I will definitely implement this if I see that people care about this service.

There are two things I plan to do: 1) typing the name of a company that automatically gets translated to a logo to match 2) type the name of a company that gets searched on the webpages to see if it is a partner
Less relatedly than they might seem though. Falcons are more closely related to parrots than to eagles.
The only person I know in Mensa used it in his resume which always grossed me out.
I know the bot will never have 100% winrate, but I think it shouldn't be able to be exploited (I.e. repeatedly beaten using the same strategy).

Let me give you an example [0]. When AlphaStar was playing on the ladder a player in Diamond league (~70-80th percentile) beat AlphaStar easily using mass Ravens. If you're not aware of the strategy, it's a turtle strategy where the player masses air units and is generally terrible.

But AlphaStar was confused by the strategy, and so it lost by a large margin.

Deploying an AI which can be exploited like this is asking for trouble.

It's true, no two products are ever exactly equivalent. And also you might like a specific product, but avoid using it because you don't like the platform it is part of.
Many countries have shown they are stupid/shortsighted enough to do this, history makes this very clear.

Study the actions of SAIMR in Africa and their plot to drive Africans to extinction using the AIDS virus and fake vaccines, purely for the sake of controlling African resources...that was the UK/US/SA/etc... govts and IA at work...they even assassinated a UN secretary general in the process.

I wish man/nation-states/intelligence-agencies were as wise as you assume but history says no.
There often just isn't a choice. When I was shopping for co-working spaces I'd see tons of open plan space, with maybe 1 or 2 tiny phone closets for 50 - 100 people. They were always in constant use. I don't know why open offices don't set aside more space for private conversations when they need to happen.
Yes. Associating with people based solely on their IQ is pretty misguided.
Once you log in using Google or Facebook, then they can correlate your logins on the backend and Apple will have no control over it. Sounds like a great workaround. Trading convenience for privacy.
Define "harm"? How is losing money not objectively considered harmful to a person?
That is odd. If the tests were simply dumbed down, wouldn't Mensa just raise the required score? The implication is that these tests have become less IQ-correlated. I'd be interested to see a comparison in the type of questions from the 70s vs today.
My guess is that it's leaking in multiple places. Since it's relatively crude by alternating "all black" and "all white" pixels at different "switch rates", it generates recognizable noise in multiple places. That seems to match all the different frequencies you see people reporting to find it. And people finding it regardless of how the signal is getting to the monitor, LVDS, HDMI, VGA, etc.

The "requires a CRT screen" was, I think, referencing the much more fine grained ability to actually recreate what was displayed on a screen. Though that's been replicated for LCDs now also.
Long, long ago, I came to the conclusion that intelligence was inversely related to sanity. Not a scientific observation, just that people who I knew who were very smart also tended to have difficulties in more ways than the people I knew who had typical intelligence. Typical issues were depression, insecurity, difficulty relating or communicating with others, ... Certainly you can find people with these issues in all groups who have these attributes, and certainly there were many very intelligent persons who had their shit together, but issues seemed to be more common among the very intelligent persons.
> Marex Spectron this month increased its estimate for a global coffee deficit to 10.7 million bags in 2021-22, compared with its previous projection of 8 million bags, citing lower Brazilian arabica output after adverse weather damaged crops. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. said in a report that if production in Central America doesn’t improve in coming years, the market will enter a structural deficit given the rebound in demand
Interesting, so spending a few months per year in France avoids that theoretically ?
Yeah I've moved to this and it is working so far. Hooks manage the data and etc, UI components are almost exclusively just UI that get some props.

The UI components all have an else render if for some reason they're missing something / it avoids a crash (along with other easy to see / figure out protections)
Gnome really needs a way to restore windows after restart (especially Nautilus windows with tabs), otherwise using multiple workspaces becomes annoying as soon as Ubuntu performs an upgrade that requires you to restart. Mac OS handles this pretty well.
It's funny how hardware is SO FAST today but yet we can't get the performance people used to get from... Borland Turbo Pascal in the 80s!
I seriously doubt that. This is a claim I've seen in many places (unsubstantiated) but I find it hard to believe that her name is triggering bans. Dead name? Sure, I can believe that and, again, I have no problem with this.
This sounds really interesting, don't get me wrong, but it also shows just how insanely novel and complicated modern frontend dev is.

Let's break down the terminology:

- hooks

- useEffect

- useHistory

- useSelector

- dispatch

- action

- useDispatch

- ducks

- Actions

- Epics (Observables)

- Sagas (generators)

- Reducers

Most of those terminologies don't come from a general programming paradigm, but are the domain language of specific libraries. And I've seen more, with some places establishing patterns like Compound/Molecule/Atom and such. There's no consistent, underlying principle with them, though. If you're invested in Sagas then you're stuck with a bizarre threading model implemented with generator functions and it's pretty much all-or-nothing. If you're invested in Redux then there's no breaking out of that either, you're always going to be contending with shared global state.
The Darien gap might be an issue there.
There are other tests that qualify you for membership, it appears.
You can't really ship from Brazil to the US (or vice versa) by train or truck because there isn't a continuous land route between the Americas. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darién_Gap
I am an informed user who is cool with commercial app stores. The response above, which you replied to, is pretty toxic and I don’t agree with the level of vitriol they seem to have, but please don’t paint with such a broad brush. Being cool with commercial ecosystems is not only a product of ignorance.
That's a crazy amount of current to pull. I have melted wires or even welded things together with a super-capacitor setup delivering a similar amount.
There needs to be a 'fun' in 'svelte' somewhere, because it actually makes front-end devving... dare I say, fun and enjoyable.
My limited experience with Mensa is that it's a social/dating club for high IQ people. It's been too long for me to remember the details, but I recall reading about studies that suggest relationships where IQs are too far apart (more than 5-10pts) have a high failure rate. If you're more than a standard deviation from the mean, it probably makes sense to have a special dating circle if you're looking for a long term partner.
I'm quite pleased with my 1gb up/down for $165 from TruVista. Stable, cheap, IPv6 and a static IPv4 IP.

Not sure I agree with this guys opinion, but I might just be lucky? Everyone in my area uses a similar fiber plan. Again though maybe my small town of 10k~ people might be an outlier?
I joined to have something to put on my otherwise bare resume coming out of university. Never renewed my membership. Their magazine was better than I expected but the local newsletter didn't inspire me to actually show up at any meetings. From the few other Mensa members I've met, it seemed like they were active members in order to be able to socialize with people who were of "birds of a feather" so to speak rather than out of an insecurity but this is from a rather small sample size of maybe seven or eight people.
You are saying that only because they didn't accept you there :)
My Microsoft Surface is on cellular as well
Quite a lot of laptops do it.
I guess the analogy works if you could start ripping out random components from the car and put them in your gas tank and burn them as gas
Where are all of the satisfied Mensa members? Every time Mensa gets brought up a whole swarm of dissatisfied former members shows up to explain how it's not worth attending, and yet the organization persists. What's the other side of the story?
Self-selection bias.

The insecure, the underachievers, the lonely, the narcissistic, etc, might be more likely to join.

The confident, the successful, the popular, etc, probably are less likely to join.

I actually feel and work much better in an open-plan office. The energy of other people being present keeps me very focused and I really like that it’s so easy to collaborate. I think it helps prevent me from being burned out.

However this is all predicated on open office being a layout where your desk is made of wood, hardwood flooring instead of carpet, your coworkers Aeron is 5’ or less from yours, massive windows close by, and there aren’t any forms of walls other than computer monitors. Cubicles require me to attend therapy.
What amazes me at the end of the day is that brute-forcing seem to do much better than I initially thought it would do.

Trying random stuff just sounds stupid but with enough compute and data, I guess it could overpower smart creatures like us.

I agree that CodeCraft is vastly simpler than StarCraft but the idea is the same. just try random stuff(sometimes with better logic behind it) until something works and then optimize it to perfection.
The other day, I saw an eagle hunting over my neighborhood pond. Frankly, I was shocked to see it. Definitely appreciate the wildlife returning.
I've been WFH for a few years and liked it. I did not like it because of the COVID baggage:

* At home schooling
* More people needing help at odd hours (nights/weekends)
* Lots of normally well adjusted folks stressed/angry about minor things

That and there was a lot of corporate "make sure to take time for yourself" and "be realistic about schedules", however there were clearly roles/orgs where that was not an option.
That would do it.
Very-low-intelligence people also have high rates of psychological disorder as well though. Perhaps brains that are atypical in their intelligence also tend to be atypical in other ways.

My first thought was that the term could’ve predated Hawaii becoming a state, which only happened in 1959. But that seems to be false; the term only started getting popular around 1967: https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=Lower+48&year_...
I predict that in 20 years or fewer, they will accept algorithms interviews.
My pet (and layman) theory is that people with exceptionally high IQs might have a higher rate of genetic mutation compared to the general population. In my experience people with exceptionally high IQs often look unusual.

If that relationship is true, it might also explain a higher rate of mental and physical disorders, many of which can result from genetic mutations.

That's your response? "too long, didn't read"? Well, good job, I guess, here's your participation trophy.

> The fact that many people in open source don't care about Stallman's defence of eugenics says a lot.

No, it actually says nothing at all. That's the whole point, which you may have understood if you bothered to actually read. RMS's views on random subjects is just idle thoughts of a random dude, and nobody in any community owes anybody any care about what random dude once said about random subjects. If RMS were nominated for the Secretary of Health, then his views on reproductive decisions may be slightly more relevant. Call me back when that happens.
It's pretty simple really. First you need to write out your plaintext and count the frequency of each of the letters in the plaintext.

Now choose a set of 40+ symbols to do the homophonic substitution. You randomly assign these to the letters A-Z making sure you assign more to the letters that you use the most in your plaintext (probably e and t having the most)

Now decide on an arrangement of the plaintext (transposition cipher), this may involve writing diagonally or spirally or in any pattern that can be conveyed as a key and is easy to write out.

Finally, substitute the symbols, where you have a choice of more than one symbol pick one randomly. This should be done randomly rather than methodically to make the cipher the toughest to decrypt, you could use dice to do this.

The decryption key that you pass to anyone wanting to decrypt the ciphertext is the set of symbol substitutions and the way that you have transposed the symbols. (E.g. spiral going clockwise from top right)

I was happy I had a score, but like you, I let my membership lapse. I also remember magazine to be good.

It is nice to talk to people who think well, I had few friends who were also eligible and it was really nice to talk to them even if their interests didn't exactly match mine.

Too much thinking is unhealthy. The brain's main purpose is to be idle as much as possible. Perhaps your intelligent friends would do better if they meditated regularly.

I was a 2x WFH intern. Micromanage the intern a bit more. Ask to see code that’s being worked on and don’t let them go too long without interaction. It’s way too easy to get distracted when the only interaction we have is a 15 minute stand up in the morning, a few slack messages, and 8 hours of time to manage ourselves. There were a lot of days where I could get done more work in the hour before a 1:1 meeting than the rest of the day. When I’m not learning much and the feedback is still positive even when I slack off then it’s really hard to stay motivated.

Also remember that interns don’t have a home office and most are in their bedroom at the same desk they relax and play games at. It doesn’t feel like I’m actually at work unless there’s frequent interaction

I haven't taken an IQ test since... A billion years ago, so maybe it's the same, but having taken the LSAT, you can certainly learn them. My first LSAT I ever took was 78 percentile, whereas by the end I was scoring 95-98 with relative ease.
"Lower 48" is a term from Alaska, and predates Hawaii's statehood. ie, an updated version would be "Lower 49".
I think prestigious school is all about contacts and networking rather than actual knowledge. Sure they are expected to have great quality teaching. The thing is - if company is looking for people from prestigious universities, chances are the owners also are and they just seek for people they know and are familiar with. This could also be the other way - owners are coming from poor background and this way they want to feel superior over people who had what they always dreamed about but couldn't get.
Either way I stay away from such companies. In my experience there was always something toxic about them.
What ? So you put navigation state, query state for each route in redux ?
I'm commenting on this small thread a lot because it's interesting so I do apologize for that - but where are these MBAs who have never had a proper job getting hired at?

I read this and think damn I've had a proper job that I worked at for years before doing my MBA (which I did while working) + 4 years on active duty in the military - and I've really struggled in the job market as it pertains to working at some top companies or startups and it scares me to think maybe I'm getting outcompeted by other MBA program graduates that haven't even held a job before. Not that they can't be capable, but still....

I can't even get a job or interview as a product analyst at this point. No "1-3 years of formal product experience" on my resume... guess I could never do that job! (sorry /rant I've been going through a rough patch with this lately)
That's because Intel was on the single-threaded performance bandwagon for at least one beat too long. (Which was at the time of AMD's first renaissance with Opteron and multi-core.) Which a certain Intel exec--I was an analyst at the time--told me was because Microsoft had such a lack of confidence in their ability to pivot to multi-core architectures. And I have no reason to especially disbelieve that.

Interestingly, the shift to multi-core on the desktop hasn't been the big problem that a lot of people feared it would be. I remember hobbling on crutches cross-country to SF for an Intel quad core (?) launch and there was a lot of hand-wringing on the topic but mostly things worked out.

Aside from this being particularly focused around Mensa members rather than the population at large, it's unsurprising to me that there's a correlation between IQ and anxiety/depression. I'm reminded of a quote from Jiddu Krishnamurti:

"It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society."

Fwiw Raku does have an attempt at a smooth gradual transition, and in some regards it's a remarkable success.[1]

That said, its approach is profoundly unlike the v7 strategy. My take on v7 is that it boils down to:

* Pulling off such a silky smooth gradual transition that it can continue to be used for /usr/bin/perl without unduly inducing distro and/or user revolt/forking/eoling.

* Setting the stage for a gradual clean up / refresh loosely akin to Python 3 relative to Python 1, but without Python's abrupt incompatibility discontinuities and the consequent decade of contentious and costly transition pain.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand rick and morty...
You have to frame it in familiar terms for Mensa members:

What conclusions can you draw from the following sentence?

"I would posit that most normal, healthy, high-IQ folks never bother, and there's a selection bias at play."

a) All Mensa members are unhealthy.

b) There may exist some normal, healthy, high-IQ folks in Mensa.

c) All Mensa members have high IQ.

d) No Mensa member has high IQ.
Barzun's book "From Dawn to Decadence" is pretty good. There's now a cottage industry of pundits talking about "decadence", but they are all just rehashing Barzun.
Conspiracy thinking doesn't seem to correlate with IQ. I suspect it is an emotional issue.
So by your logic, it would be okay for a twitter employee to modify a tweet from of the president's account to declare war (or to any number of things that would have very real repercussions in the real world)
I know exactly what you mean, people being proficient in some very specific legacy domain (Vax BASIC is a good example, another might be AS/400/IBM i by now). Often going above and beyond in their niche expertise.

Though it's hard to get a full picture. Maybe past gigs or other circumstances have given them enough financial stability that they don't strictly need to work anymore. They then continue consulting out of passion for their particular niche, or somewhat opposite because they don't have any drive to learn anything else, but still don't want to retire completely. I feel like the people I have in mind there seem to be in a more good than bad situation.

But I've also encountered the other category you're hinting at, people who are fused to a legacy system (i.e. a particular project at a particular company), not a technology in general. A few friends of mine do that, and they are much younger and much further away from feasible retirement than the aforementioned "gray beards". I sometimes do wonder about their prospects, but, again, no full insight.
I just meant, I see a lot of coworkers switching desktops in general, which I see on screen shares because we’re all remote.
