I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to do with this article - it seems written as a hit piece on Deliberate Practice, but doesn't live up to that by more or less pointing at various works and saying, "That seems crazy!"

Anders Ericsson passed away in 2020, but fortunately in 2019 he wrote a comprehensive article describing his journey through the discovery of deliberate practice and how it evolved over the ensuing 25 years. I would suggest reading this in addition to the submitted article, if you're interested in better understanding the "Problems with Deliberate Practice":

https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2019.0239...

Edit: The author has this to say: "Is deliberate practice good enough to work? My opinion — one that’s informed by painful experience attempting to implement the results of Ericsson’s research — is that, yes, deliberate practice does work, but it’s really difficult to turn the principles into a practice program if you are in a field where no ‘highly-developed, broadly accepted training methods’ exist."

Edit2: I was too harsh, edited to tone down the language!
>No it doesn't. A law does not become racist when one race disproportionately breaks it, otherwise every law everywhere would be racist.

I think you'll find there are quite a few folks that disagree with you on this point, some feel that laws can be considered racist exclusively because of disproportionate impact on specific communities.

Personally I think it just boils down to how people define the term 'racist'. When I was growing up (many moons ago), the term was used primarily to describe intent, but now it has expanded to include outcomes.
Ask HN: List your "brandable" domains to find them a new home
I'm surely not the only one who has a whole collection of domain names. As much as I dislike squatters when registering them, I probably happen to be one sometimes.

Or swap domain for others. (I'm tired of having the same portfolio).

I'm not the person you replied to, but today's American leftism practically mandates a belief in blank-slatism on race, gender, and IQ, to an extent that’s inimical to sincere science in those areas. And that ends up having a wide impact on science generally and policy generally.
I tried to do this on a few different sites, but in my experience, there simply aren't enough good-faith actors. The dirtbag left[0] reigns over the nice fellows in leftist circles on Reddit, Twitter, and Facebook. They don't want to engage capitalists in debate... they don't even want anyone in their own ranks playing devil's advocate. They want to call you a chud and take a screenshot of it.

FediTips, a Mastodon account, recently shared some concerns about the Uyghur-related content in the largest Lemmy instance, which is run by Lemmy's developers:

https://mstdn.social/@feditips/106835057054633379

This created a firestorm on Lemmy, on which it was noted that Lemmy removes conservative and libertarian communities with the reason "No conservative communities":

> Removed Community conservatives reason: No conservative communities

> Removed Community Libertarian, in the pursuit of a free society reason: No conservative communities allowed

https://lemmy.ml/post/78808

https://lemmy.ml/modlog

Perhaps the underlying software is fine, but the largest Lemmy instance is not exactly the friendliest to anyone who wants to express themselves more freely than they are allowed to on mainstream social networks.
I can imagine law firms would be lobbying hard for software patents. Some more big tech money to cream off into adminstrative tasks.
People who have an fear of heights can't go near a window in a high-rise building, for instance.

You seem to place authoritarianism and capitalism on opposite ends of some spectrum, but they're unrelated. Russia, for example, is both authoritarian and capitalist.

Capitalism != individual freedom != democracy. Those are all separate axes.

> Having "leftist" in the description makes people (at least myself) automatically jump to the conclusion that one can get cancelled/banned/deplatformed for posting any thought or argument that disagrees with the mainstream. I'm not a conservative or anti-vaxxer or anything like that, but this culture really creeps me out.

Outside of maybe 8chan, what is a community that won't ban you for saying something they find harmful? Left/right/liberal/conservative communities all have this.

It's totally fine if a self-described left-leaning community is not for you, but there's nothing weird or creepy about it.

That's a very poor analogy. It's inflammatory and disrespectful to put a trivial disagreement over investment classification on the same footing as the slave trade, and it's not factual either. Slave trade was not abolished by the Supreme Court, but by an act of Congress [0] and later by presidential decree [1].

Hmm...though I'm wondering were there always greater than 365 full days of audio recorded every year? I'm not sure that is true for the late 1920's-1930's, though by today (and maybe by the 1960's or so) that has become true.

So I guess it will eventually become infinite with the metric of being able to listen to them all, though at the moment I'm not sure it is quite infinite yet.

> Put more frankly, the success of recent immigrants does not erase America's long history of brutality and exploitation toward blacks and Latin Americans.

But given that America was far more brutal and exploitative towards Chinese immigrants than towards Latin Americans, why are Latinos so prioritized by these initiatives to favor certain racial groups?

> And I think it's worth noting that some of the immigrants have brought their own biases with them, such that caste discrimination is now also a problem in Silicon Valley: https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2020/10/27/indian-...

Ironic that in a discussion about diversity, you believe in a prejudiced stereotype about a major ethnic group in Silicon Valley. Casteism is pretty much a nonissue in Silicon Valley, if only for the simple reason that most Indian-Americans tend to be ignorant about the castes of most other Indian-Americans.

Even if it's "just" for 2 weeks of quarantine, being able to check-in within 15 minutes seems unreasonable. What about taking a nap, taking a bath, cooking, etc.?

Once you package it up into a tradable instrument, it becomes a security, which would either be regulated by the SEC (bonds) or the CFTC (swaps or futures). But if it isn't tradable (which a lending account is not), it's not a security. It's likely the jurisdiction of FINRA or the FDIC.
Consider something like the role of courage in military tactics. If you had some populations who were simply less courageous than others, you'd have a different baseline for stuff like, does a phalanx work? Is a phalanx even necessary?

Even a minute difference in something like this would change the mechanics of the formation. So stuff like Alexander's globe-spanning conquests would suddenly become impossible as he hit a different population regime where his tactics don't work anymore, or the Mongols would hit some barrier where they would start losing all their battles because people weren't reacting the way they should, etc.

In reality, of course, empires like the Roman one absolutely depended on the fact that the same social systems and techniques worked just as well in modern day scotland as they worked in modern day Iraq - a legionnaire was a legionnaire, whether they came from egypt or wales, and they could and were moved around and interchanged.

> But by definition, that's not what ignoring race does.

The only person talking about ‘ignoring race’ is you.

> This doesn’t mean we shouldn’t acknowledge that racism was a cause.

> By definition, that's what "rotating the line to be orthogonal to race" does.

No it doesn’t not ‘by definition’ or by any other reason. Your arguments don’t suddenly become true just because you say ‘by definition’.

You can acknowledge race as a cause, while not enshrining it as a solution.

Your solution requires that we must continue to be identified by the racial categories created by historical slave owners.

Not good.
It appears that Coinbase was going to achieve that 4% interest on USDC in Lend via Compound [1], which is a DeFi protocol they helped launch a few years ago [2]. However, it is not clear why they said "Your principal is guaranteed", since they didn't say how, and that is a pretty big claim. I'm guessing, since they didn't really specify, but assets lent in Compound (and other DeFi protocols) are generally over-collateralized [3][4], to protect loss of funds, so maybe they were relying on that. However, even with that, funds in DeFi protocols could still be affected by things like impermanent loss [5]. That said, maybe they were just relying on some insurance thing.

No, it is quite clear that, between people, there is only a very small contribution of variation in genetics to variation in intelligence.

This is independent of understanding how genes might affect intelligence.
Yup, I'm pretty sure many software companies have done similar things. It's a bit easier on video game consoles where your software runs on the very same hardware everywhere and you can pull off more subtle tricks. There were a few commercial games that also used a similar approach [1].

I think there's obviously a confluence of nature and nurture which is going to lead to the final outcome in terms of skill attainment.

I think the extent to which genetics varies probably varies a lot depending on the domain. For instance, something like long-distance running depends a lot on physics and biology: how efficient you can be at moving your body through space depends a lot on how tall you are, how long your limbs are, and things like the width of your pelvis. You will still need a lot of practice to reach your full potential, but what level you reach, and how fast you reach it will be heavily influenced by genetic factors.

However, that being said, practice is still absolutely magic. In the spirit of the 80/20 rule, it's amazing how much a little bit of deliberate practice can improve an untrained skill. Especially when developing a skill from absolute zero, a few weeks of deliberate practice can often take me from the realm of absolute failure, to the point where I can actually enjoy practicing it.

I've also sometimes reflected on the fact that skill attainment through practice seems more difficult as one gets older. I think this is almost certainly true to some extent, as neuroplasticity is real, and for instance a 40 year old will never have as easy a time learning a language as a 5 year old. However I think it's also a bit overstated.

When you are a kid, every thing you are learning is relatively new, so when practicing a new skill you have a more uniform point of comparison in terms of how fast you learn things. As an adult, you have certain skills you might have been practicing daily for 20 years and have completely mastered. So when you sit down and manage to play Für Elise for the first time at a piano it seems absolutely rudimentary in comparison, even if you are making real progress, which can be demoralizing.

There's also the factor that adults tend to be more subconscious about failing in public. We've spent years learning how to avoid situations where we look bad, or can't do what we set out to do, unlike kids who aren't expected to be able to do much. It's an approach which is really self-defeating if your goal is to actually learn something new.

When you are giving a loan to your friend or a business partner, you are not engaging with the general public.

Similar, you can sell shares in your business to your friend or business partner, but if you want to sell to the general public, the SEC is interested.

(I have no clue whether this distinction is the important legal one here.)

Plain as day!

And since you have so much experience dealing with the SEC, you surely understand that the specific questions they ask will typically reveal precisely their rationale for taking the (extraordinary) step of an enforcement action, just as a prosecutor’s investigatory questions reveals their legal theory of a crime.

The SEC doesn’t go around issuing Wells notices every day, and they typically don’t issue them without giving recipients the opportunity to choose a different path. We’re only hearing one side of this story, and even that one side contains so many hints of willful obtuseness that you have to be a blind partisan to take Coinbase’s “shock” at face value.

This just all seems like complete handwaving to make observations fit the hypothesis.

What we do know for sure is that people are not at all hesitant about attributing to luck/genetics many things which affect a person's ability to contribute, create value, and earn money. Both physical and intellectual conditions, as well as circumstances of birth. So the burden of proof required to claim otherwise for specific cases has to be far higher than this.

The thing is: We have the internet, the most influential technology to spread information and educate people that has ever been created. It's time to use it again like it was in the MIT OpenCourseWare kind of days, before deceivers got their platforms where they can "buy-in" their opinions.
