Why wouldn't you assume intentionality as more likely than not given the disturbing history of race in Silicon Valley? The position you hold out of the gate is unlikely and your assumptions of good-faith are misplaced. William Shockley, who invented the transistor and essentially set up the Valley and it's culture, was an outright white supremacist. You see his legacy in the hiring percentages. The probability is that this was done on purpose. Your position is dangerous, in all honesty, because it sets up the idea that there is a logical similarity between Black Men and monkeys. "Look! Even a computer thinks so!" - and that we must modify outcomes so spare Black people's feelings. Note that the alleged error wasn't in distinguishing humans from monkeys as you state in error, but Black Men specifically.
3 things.
1. People always look after their back pocket. Any policy that reduce income or wealth is a vote loser
2. Rupert Murdoch owns a majority of print and TV media and has extreme bias for the conservative govt. People do not see any other viewpoints.
3. Extreme divide between rural and urban population. It is impossible to satisfy both. A pro-climate change policy in urban Sydney is a vote killer in regional Queensland.

> I'm always kind of surprised by people who move to Australia. It's a country that has had an active policy of censorship on entertainment for a very long time - books, video games, movies. The fact that the populace is okay with such a policy would make me reconsider moving there.

On my list of things to be concerned about as an Australian, censorship of media is pretty low down. It's not something we run up against in day to day life.
Same things I'd normally say because I know anonymous posts on the internet are a terrible medium for rational discussion on controversial subjects. I've sworn off arguing anything with anyone on the internet.

More censorship = less content on social media, which is a good thing for humanity.
> But that reduced dominance of Europeans in total population doesn't make a lot of difference in the 135+ pool. Employers seeking these exceptionally intelligent young adults were choosing from a pool [...]

This is one mistake, and the danger of using IQ as anything more than a trend indicator. Employers don't need 'people with an IQ over ${ARBITRARY_CUTOFF}'. They need 'people who can do X and Y'. And IQs over 100 quickly stop having significant predictive power for mental abilities other than IQ tests. Even exams which focus on pass/fail of an aptitude rather than excellence show little 'racial' variance in general.

The numbers in that paragraph also seem entirely fantastical to me. It basically claims not only that there are IQ differences between the "races", but that they are huge.

Finally, and most importantly, the whole set of observations is meaningless in the way it is used. Even granted that there are such huge differences in IQ between various "racial" groups, the social justice response won't change - we need to focus on eliminating the social and environmental causes at the root of these differences. Murray could claim that the differences are genetic, but I am very curious what is the scientific methodology by which he defines these groups - how much genetic testing did he do determine whether one particular person is 'European', 'African', 'Latin', or 'Asian'? What genes in particular was he looking for that make someone European? (For that matter, are Italians and Spanish people "European" or "Latin"?? Is Eva Longoria, whose family came from Spain to America with a royal land grant 400 years ago "European" or "Latin"?).
For the records:

I stand corrected about some of the more extreme positions that some have taken on police reform. Thanks for those who provided sources. I took it as ‘mild reforms haven’t changed anything, we have to go big’ - some seem to imagine that crime will disappear if all basic needs are met, and will happen without the threat of violence. I’d like to see some prior art for that.

Also, though nobody really called me out I regret using the word anglo because I really didn't want to respond with a racial tone. I was intending to target wealthy western sensibilities more generally. While I resonated with the author’s concept of an almost hypnotic loop of endless media and product consumption, reality has afforded a lot more color and choice to us, and far less to many others.

“It’s not quite right and I worry it will get worse” is a privileged sentiment coming from people who have the freedom to worship, work, think, communicate, and play as they see fit.

My version of an ideal path would probably entail either consuming and producing less information as individuals, or expanding our capacity for it. We are among the first generations of our species to experience chronic information overload, and it does seem to insidiously assault our human will. However, if our liberties are materially curtained, I believe we still have the capacity to act with strength and unity. Just as a frog actually does leap out of the pot even if it’s a slowly boiled (fact), humans can break free of the attention-consumption complex when it threatens their more basic needs. That’s my theory anyhow.

I have to say I'm getting tired of all these 'new economy' (is it still new?) companies, trying to get around established regulations which usually have been put into place for a good reason and using PR to create a narrative/pressure to say that regulations/regulators are hindering innovation and are not acting in good faith. Instead it seems to usually be the case that they are trying to do exactly what the regulation is trying to prevent. Just because because they come out of a "move fast and break things" culture, doesn't mean rules don't apply to them. Fortunately more and more people are seeing through these shenanigans.

To me it sounds like banks can’t compete and just keep the 4%, so now they have the SEC go after their competition that can.

I don’t see the difference at all between a USD that makes (pitiful) interest in a bank savings account and a peg to USD that makes awesome interest in a Coinbase savings account. When I invest my USD with Wells Fargo bank they are converted to Wells Fargo Bucks that are tied to how efficient and generous the bank is (they aren’t) and my interest received is tied to that common enterprise. Those Wells Fargo Bucks aren’t classified as securities. The $1 portion will always be $1.

No one invests in Tether or USD hoping their investment increases in value, that is absurd. It’s always a $1, so it is always losing value unfortunately.
The definition of what is racist, xenophobic, and homophobic is different from person to person, mod to mod. There are plenty of rational opinions within controversial topics that are just not allowed. This is compounded with the problem of social media that don't allow anonymity, as laws in some western countries actually criminalize rudeness.

In practice I think mainstream liberals are the gleefully censorious ones, not leftists. In a sibling comment I called these guys losers, but you can't argue that they're not walking the walk by setting up their own platforms. The people in these alt communities have been kicked off Reddit for rightfully pointing out how astroturfed it is by advertisers, police, and military agencies, so I'm not sure if you'd find much love for big tech among their ranks.

Type4Py: Machine Learning-Based Type Auto-Completion for Python
When it comes to Python on macOS, the only version that’s installed by default is the deprecated copy of Python 2.7 that’s slated to be removed in the future. For Python 3, you need to install the developer tools. (/usr/bin/python3 ships with the OS, but is just a stub that runs the developer tools version if installed or prompts you to install it otherwise).

It’s not hard to install, but it’s not guaranteed to already be installed on every system.

It's silly to equate market access with extra-territorial control. Credit Suisse wants to court PRC money, they need to be mindful of PRC interests.

Actual Chinese extra-territorial controls in the form of sanctions and other legitimate instruments will come. More foreign banks start operating in the PRC now that the financial market is opening up to foreign institutions, more coupling and ability for PRC to assert legal extra-territorial mechanisms. Until then, this is just banks being prudent out of their own volition. Like Hollywood catering to the Chinese market.

If it’s any consolation, US will probably legislate a zone of exception preventing US banks from cooperating with CCP interests.
Uyghur torture + concentration camps, Falun Gong forced vivisections, no free floating currency, domination of the public discourse via explicit propaganda, absurd social controls like 'no more than 3 hrs of video games', implicit eugenics policies via 1 child policy. Repeated and ongoing aggressions against other countries that have states that wish for their own independence. I wish for my own independence from the disgusting abuses from global states, so I sympathize with Hong Kong.

China is definitely pretty bad. Wait, only a few of those things are exclusive to China.

Weird... you're right. Maybe let's do away with states while we're waxing poetic.

EDIT: I can't even fathom the confusion of ideas that would lead you to being pro-China when the ongoing current abuses are so expansive, but whatever works for you!
Maybe they should have asked Brett Redfearn (former SEC director working at Coinbase) about the SECs reasoning. He left Coinbase in July? I guess the revolving door corruption failed (and/or he figured out where the wind is blowing)...

This is really all too transparent and obvious. A risk-free investment with 4% APY. What-aboutism about other exchanges (which are unregulated and off-shore). Not "understanding" the problems the "SEC" has (even though they have all the money to buy even former SEC directors knowledge about SEC procceses).
It comes down to one thing. Does the speech advocate violence or is intentionally designed to cause it against anyone for any reason? If yes,ban it if no, then don't.
The other reason is; if someone without proven medical training in a related field is peddling snake oil, ban it.
And the twitter taliban thing is actually more complicated than you make it out to be. They are horrible but the government of a country.

So did they receive a notice with the charges or didn't they?

You have to look at things from the perspective of those people. They're not part of your domestic political faction, they're dissidents from a foreign country. Western politicians have been mealy mouthed and soft for decades with regards to the PRC. As far as I know, Trump was the first American president to take a hard line against them in my conscious lifetime (even though his motives were unprincipled), and they probably decided to throw their weight behind him lest things return to the status quo and they lose hope for the thing they really care about: China.

How does your ML model control for opportunity cost? How do you prove a causation between watch rate and retention?

Do algorithms that encourage viewership actually increase revenue, or retention? What happens when the algorithm is so good I under-sleep, miss work and get fired, eventually losing my ability to pay for Netflix? What if I see this in myself and cancel my subscription, instead of using Netflix sustainably? What happens if I genuinely watch all programming I find interesting and move on to reading books on the same topics?

In other words, if the Netflix catalog is perfectly sorted by relevance to my personal interests, how much of it will I engage with? How far can Netflix content creators and licensors follow me down the rabbit hole?

You say it like it's so easy. It's not. The reality is many (maybe even most?) articles - even ones from incredibly openly biased sources - do this. It's often difficult to make many meaningful attacks on a proposed law without mentioning what the intent is.

Unless it's one of a few already highly-covered issues with fundamentally irreconcilable subjective issues where you can pretty much recall all that context with a few words... you have to say what the heck the proponents of the law say it'll do to actually attack it.

However you don't seem to find that balanced. I don't blame you. I don't either.

The problem is the arguments made cannot be equal. They are not the same thing. Even a good faith attempt to make a completely neutral article will very often fall short. Even if the author thinks they did not, others will.

The only 'balance' you can really have is a false equivalence where nothing matters because it's all the same anyway - so why even write an article? It doesn't matter what happens.

> If you happen to take a few minutes to read the paper, you'll notice that the study was conducted with a type of cloth mask produced locally which had a filtration efficiency rate of around 37% with a standard deviation of 6%, compared with the surgical mask's filtration efficiency of 95%.

I read it, thanks. The mask they used was much better than what most people are wearing:

> The cloth mask had an exterior layer of 100% non-woven polypropylene (70 grams/square meter [gsm]), two interior layers of 60% cotton / 40% polyester interlocking knit (190 gsm), an elastic loop that goes around the head above and below the ears, and a nose bridge

If a cloth mask with three layers of different materials and a nose bridge is dramatically less efficient than a simple surgical mask, then that's pretty damning for the whole idea of a cloth mask, in general.
