Allow me to inform you.

IQ stands for "intelligence quotient".

It was developed as a ratio between mental age and physical age, times 100. So if you performed as expected, your IQ was 100. It was originally developed as a way of finding people who were behind, literally "retarded". However it also proved useful as a way of finding people who are intelligent as well.

After IQ tests were adopted in school systems, we found that they were approximately normally distributed with a mean of 100 (by definition), and a standard deviation of 15-16. For a variety of reasons (including identifying military recruits to train for specialized roles), there was a desire to have ability tests aimed at young adults. We developed those and scaled them to be explicitly normal with a mean of 100 and standard deviation of 15 or 16 (depending on the test). We also found that childhood IQ is a fairly good predictor of your later adult abilities, and therefore many of those tests are ALSO called IQ, even though there is no quotient involved.

On the adult tests, the tests do not scale out to IQ 230, nor is it likely that anyone is that many standard deviations out. But on the child tests, there is no problem scaling it. And it turns out that, in practice, the tails are heavier for the original type of IQ test. Which means that it is more common to find a 6 year old who performs at a 14 year old's ability, than a person who is over 8 standard deviations out.

Terry Tao had his IQ officially measured on a childhood test, not an adult one. However there has been no test since that is able to reliability measure his ability, particularly in math.

Consider, at 7, his SAT score put him well within the top 1% of college-bound kids.

At 10, his performance on the International Math Olympiad meant that he was literally in the top handful of high school students in the world.

Yeah, we don't have properly scaled tests for that.
What? There's multiple full states in the way. What would that even accomplish?
Copyright licensing is entirely a legal construct. Some people attempt to make DRM to enforce it, but it's certainly not a requirement.

For example, if you visit my webpage, your computer will download the copyrighted text from it and save it in your cache.
In the past, USPS used to mail humans, specifically children.

This was because there were not clear guidelines regarding what you could mail.
If I understand the other arguments correctly, IE also saw them as nested, but defined the text size of h[1-6] elements as absolute, not relative.
I do not want to have to ask doctors permission to get the medicine I need. Make them like lawyers where they are advisors only. If that has a side effect of letting companies off from some liability, then I will accept that trade off.
There was a lot of hoopla at the time the vaccine was announced, but other than that I'm not sure where you are getting your information? HPV vaccination rates are increasing, and there is almost no resistance at this point. The US vaccination rates are in line with Europe.

Um not to be crass but like most of the work everyone does on this form is probably close meaningless and often times redundant. I don't mean it in a derogatory way.

And the adjective you should have used is redundant work. Clearly the work has meaning if it keeps people employed and building skills.
First impression: wow, they aced the execution on this advertising. Just the right level of cheeky.

2nd impression: Did they intentionally put the white monotype logo on a mainly white animated header so it kind of disfigures the font shown therein? Surely that can’t be a mistake!
You know that most straight cis people don’t use them either, right? Most women in my circles just have an IUD.

Oh yes, let your wisdom be poured out upon us. And no, age alone is not relevant to the quality of literature.

Yes, if you're not using RAII, RAII doesn't work.

These are good ideas, but the numbers are flatly unbelievable. Until quite recently most tropical hardwood was harvested illegally and distributed through black markets. This often involved either clear cutting or selective removal of rare trees or both. There is very little if any hard information about exactly how much tropical deforestation in the 1980s involved lumber, though there has been significant progress in enforcement since then.
The solution to half the rejections I have had from app stores has been to resubmit it.

Mandatory "You and Your Research" by Richard Hamming: https://www.cs.virginia.edu/~robins/YouAndYourResearch.html
But, knowing where to look for, being able to suss out details from papers, having the almost adequate level of conversation to try and contact authors (if still alive...). The ability to put undecypherable formulas into code and to bear stackoverflow's requirements for a 'good' question. Not a set of skills that amounts to nothing. It's rare nowadays that I see any copy of a reference textbook on numerical recipes, although we do tons of signal processing and HPC stuff.

Recently I rediscovered the ability to compute logs with 64 bits integers with a better precision than double-precision. Man, jumping back into those depths after so many years... Not as easy as reading other people's code.
For a modest unreported profit, assuming you converted it back to USD at an exchange that reports to the IRS, you'll probably get a CP2000 in the mail many years later with your recalculated back taxes (probably assuming a $0 cost basis that you'll have to provide records to dispute) + interest.
When my company first started using Zoom, people were fumbling the controls constantly. In fact, people still do ("Can you see my screen?"), and no one knows what "Optimize for video clip" even means.

I don't think those other platforms are inherently worse, we're just slightly more familiar with Zoom.

Think holes in jeans has been a thing for awhile :) Pretty sure we we had them when I was a kid and that was a decent time back...

There is a difference though for making holes. If I just whip out a pair of scissors and go to town that hole will get larger and larger until the garment is unusable. I usually get the same if I get them naturally. But holes that are put in at the factory they seem to put some thought into it and they last a decent amount of time and do not grow as badly. Have not dug to much into it because I prefer it without so I have not looked into how to DIY.
Seems anything being remotely anti-capitalist gets downvoted here.
Gently telling others what they need to do doesn't seem to be working, either.

I'm convinced that a certain percentage of the population just doesn't give a crap about others. Hard to say the exact percentage, but something over 10% feels like a safe bet.

Miniretro: Testing Emulators at Scale

Font cloning is a thing.

Font tracing is usually done by printing out the character to be traced at very large scale -- I've seen about 12" x 12" -- and placing it directly on a large digitizing tablet. A sequence of strokes / points is collected for the outline of the character, and then curves of somewhat reduced degree are fit to those strokes / points to both reduce font data size and reduce the impact of errors, inaccuracies, and quantization in the data capture.

Even at this huge scale, and with this amount of effort, the outline of your character will be very close to -- visually identical to! -- the starting character, but not exact. As a result, the generated font program will be quite different. For example, it may use a different number of control points for equivalent curves.

Now, one can imagine automating this process differently: Take a font file, digitally render each character, perturb it a small amount, and resynthesize the strokes to generate a new, different program for a visually identical font. This is generally against the terms of service for the initial font, however, which would make it a legal matter...
I suppose if you manually traced Helvetica letters, then they might have a case for misusing their font. After all, there isn't a licensing option that allows you to use the font as a template.
If you just top off your spending wallet occasionally, it doesn't necessarily have to be more inconvenient than visiting an ATM, or paying your credit card bill if you don't have it drafted automatically.

Seems to me that "getting folks flagged" for doing something innocent is a flaw in our government, more than a flaw in crypto.

Not reusing addresses helps against casual inspection but with blockchain analysis these days, it's long obsolete as any sort of real privacy measure. It wouldn't be something corporations could use to protect competitive information. Also it's not useful at all on account-based chains like Ethereum.

In the case of the HPV vaccine it’s about monogamy and sex before marriage.

To avoid misapprehension, I think people whose ethics cause them to withhold medication have bad ethics — Acknowledging the existence of such people does not imply agreement with them.
Slightly tangential, but this amazing scientific work makes me wonder how much more we could have achieved over the last 30-40 years, had we diverted even a small fraction of military funding to science and space research. Say, $100B/year.

LLNL's budget is $2.5 billion. The entire Nasa budget is around $25B/year; NSF is $8.5B. It's true that there's also military R&D and of course the majority of R&D is private sector[1], but just saying, what a shame that there isn't more of a national focus.

Not only should we be spending more on civil R&D, but what did we gain from that military expenditure, for example the couple of trillion we poured into Afghan for 20 years?

It seems like every day there is a new catastrophe directly or indirectly linked to our climate crisis.

COvid has shown us that things can be happening right in front of peoples faces and they will still not do the right thing.

We are supposed to be in an ice age currently and some reading on Wikipedia suggested that while the earth will recover without human presence, the next few glacial periods will be skipped.
It's planned obsolescence. Analog headphones from 15 years will work whereas Airpods will be nigh-unusable after 5 years because the batteries will be spent.

With the Steam Deck coming out, running Linux in a high-profile gaming device with AMD graphics, hopefully it'll turn into a mild Linux GPU driver arms race. AMD and Valve are both working on improving Linux support for AMD hardware, GPU and CPU.
I think the OP meant options that are as "easy" as click on a link and join a meeting. I use BBB and Mumble but there are others I know who would never know how to set up their own instance or even what github is.
I mean, I guess? I find it nice having a dedicated channel knowing the person on the other side is single and actively looking for some sort of connection. Treating it as a spontaneous connection the same way you would meeting someone at a coffee shop to get to the first date stage seems to work fine.
Cases aren't skyrocketing? Have you...looked at the South recently?
> What I'm asking is, what prevents someone from skipping the step all together of tracing every letter in the Helvetica alphabet and instead, just digitally copies the TTF font file?

What stops you from copying any copyright-protected software? Technically, usually, very little (sometimes DRM). But, mostly, its social/economic constraints like your (or your business’) particular tolerance for legal exposure.
Since it's unreleased they might name it differently when releasing but I don't think they will make it open source. Microsoft will most likely use it for themselves.
Not really. Almost everything else runs Android which is only marginally better. The only devices where you really have full control over your device are barely functional, and cost more for lower specs.
I'm not sure how they came up with these numbers but I live in VA and the housing cost seems unrealistic for many cities (not just talking about NOVA).
I've been in the resume game in one way or another for 20+ years, have published countless articles about resumes on various websites, and written for thousands of clients from all over the world. I've never witnessed anything resembling "the other camp". I've never had a client question the "I" advice - not once.

You can say it exists, but it would be nearly impossible for me to spend an entire career in this field and not ever come across it.
> That is - they are taking as a given that people are being too risk-averse, especially in regards to COVID-19, and that public health officials are unable to consider tradeoffs (as opposed to having considered them and reached a different conclusion), and they want "better," by which they mean riskier, cost-benefit analyses.

Australia locked down for three deaths, so I think they are right here.

> (It also makes me think that the point about it being difficult to vaccinate everyone is a bit disingenuous - it's true that it's difficult, but it would be easier if there weren't political organizations arguing for political reasons that we shouldn't vaccinate everyone!)

It's funny you say that, but really, there are just a lot of people that don't want to get any of the vaccines, myself included. That's because, with a thought cost-benefit analysis, it did not make sense for me.

Making that decision for myself is only a problem because of Safetyism.

The funny thing is that once physical and emotional safety is sacred, the government can get away with all sorts of actions that would not be acceptable otherwise, actions that might actually compromise the safety of individuals from the government itself!

And then we are not really safe.
I don't buy this view. You can see from the quotes these physicists don't really understand why they got this result. We don't actually know enough about what is happening with ICF of MCF or any other xF to rule out approaches. And why should I need to seek foreign opinions to confirm your view? NIF detractors grow on trees in the US. You never, ever get a story about NIF without one chiming in.
The price of a Ferrari also seems unreasonable to me. I drive a different car. I also use fonts other than Helvetica. I'm not entitled to either of them.
Forgive me, as I've never disassembled anything myself(!), but would it not be helpful to be able to disassemble an executable into pseudo-code or something (I guess ideally something a bit higher level but re-compilable) alongside the assembly language? It seems to me that it could be much easier to understand what is happening that way, no?
It would probably be easier given the geography to build pipelines or canals from the Northwest or Canada.
Tenants under contract typically go with the property. If the eviction ban is an issue, then it merely transfers that issue to a new owner, who has to decide whether or not to take on the risk.

So "You could always sell" isn't really feasible in all situations.
Tell HN: Stripe shut down my account no explanation too
11 days ago, @buf posted about Stripe closing down their account without notice or explanation (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28085706).

Yesterday, it happened to me too.

Like @buf, a big chunk of my business I've been running for the past five years depends on payments through Stripe.

Their support have been giving me canned answers, and the form they've sent me to fill in to appeal the system is sending me to a broken page.

I'm utterly devastated. With no one to turn to, I've emailed edwin@stripe like buf did - but no answer just yet.

Just a heads up to fellow business owners. At a complete loss.
Why are we wasting limited medical resources on people who refuse to take the full COVID treatment regimen? (Which starts with vaccination.)

If we had limited ability to treat cancer patients, and someone refused treatment of their Phase 1 cancer, we wouldn't give them a bed over someone else, when they come back to the hospital in Phase 3.

There are trauma victims waiting in ERs, who can't get treatment because of this self-inflicted disaster. There are people waiting on life-saving surgeries, who can't come in for them, because all the doctors are busy, and all the beds are full.

Not getting vaccinated is a choice, but choices should have consequences.
Likewise - we switched from Gotomeeting to Google Meet (which is the same as hangouts, right?) mostly because the experience for staff in Latin America was so much better.

That said, Gotomeeting is the worst of the bunch. They haven't added a useful feature in years, the CPU usage is terrible, their parasitic launcher is very difficult to get rid of, ugh... I'm surprised they're still around.
Sure, as long as they are qualified to offer a true scientific opinion, and are recognized as having expertise in the fields of epidemiology, infectious diseases and/ or other closely related fields, sounds great to me. And as long as they have experimental results that back up their claims, and that other qualified scientists are able to reproduce the results of said experiments.

Otherwise, no, those "scientists" should be attacked and spurned, and have their medical licenses pulled if they recommend harmful advice or opinions. Doctors must take the Hippocratic Oath, and one of the key central promises within that oath is "first, do no harm."

As an example, Donald Trump promoted a doctor, Dr. Stella Immanuel, a little-known Houston-based physician, who has claimed alien DNA was used in medical treatments.

Immanuel is the founder of the Fire Power Ministries Church and has, among other things, claimed that sex with "tormenting spirits" is responsible for gynecological problems, miscarriages and impotence.

She claimed, "Many women suffer from astral sex regularly. Astral sex is the ability to project one's spirit man into the victim's body and have intercourse with it."

According to Immanuel, she "summarizing our deliverance ministry and exposing incubus and succubus." She was in a video was removed from Facebook, YouTube and Twitter after amassing millions of views
I don't think it's particularly helpful to "yikes" everything, because I'm not intending to offend, be racist, etc.

I admit I am not an expert. I formed an opinion after scanning the official wiki on the topic (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HIV/AIDS_in_Africa) which says things like: "High-risk behavioral patterns are largely responsible for the significantly greater spread of HIV/AIDS in Sub-Saharan Africa than in other parts of the world. Chief among these are the traditionally liberal attitudes espoused by many communities inhabiting the subcontinent toward multiple sexual partners and pre-marital and outside marriage sexual activity." and don't mention anything about migration patterns being the more important factors.

So if this is actually your field of study, it would be helpful if the wikipedia article were updated with the latest research.
What'd you think of an "intermediate" solution like Mongo Atlas for example - hosted dedicated instance in your region, but managed by us?
People start to care when they get deeper into the graphic design rabbit hole and basically express their work through type and its character exclusively, like in logo design, poster design etc. where type character has a big impact on the individual letter level.

Body and sub-heading text is a bit more forgiving and less detail thirsty, the focus is more on the texture of textblocks rather than the individual letter or words.

If you have to cut up and modify individual letters, Helvetica can be quite nice to work with.

What even is Typekit’s pricing these days? I looked into it a few weeks ago and the only thing I could find was Typekit comes with any Creative Cloud subscription, including $10/mo ones. But surely you can’t pay $10/mo to serve an arbitrary amount from their webfont CDN? Did I miss something? Is the pricing only available after you subscribe?

William de Cantilupe was killed by multiple stab wounds in Scotton, Lincolnshire, in March 1375. The de Cantilupes were a wealthy English family and had a history of service to the crown. They were major landholders in the Midlands, with estates in Greasley, Ilkeston, and Withcall. William de Cantilupe's ancestors included royal councillors and, distantly, Saint Thomas de Cantilupe. Among the suspects in the murder were his wife Maud and the sheriff Thomas Kydale. Maud may have had an affair with Kydale during her husband's frequent absences on service during the war in France. Fifteen members of the household were also accused. De Cantilupe's murder was the first to come within the purview of the Treason Act 1351, a statute which declared the murder of a man by his wife or servants to be petty treason. Maud was tried and acquitted. She then married Kydale. Two members of the household staff were convicted and executed. Others who were indicted did not appear for trial and were outlawed. One of the outlaws, de Cantilupe's steward, John Tailour of Barneby, was pardoned by Richard II.

Q: Why does the last name of this murderer and his victims sound like a type of candy?

A: The de Cantilupe family name is the same as the candy maker. John Hargrave, whose family founded a candy company, died in 1688.

Q: Why was there no mention of William de Cantilupe in Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales?"

A: Chaucer was born in the 1300s. The Chaucer Society has never found Chaucer's original manuscripts.

Q: How was William de Cantilupe killed?

A: According to the Chronicle of Battle Abbey
