Episode 100 is specifically about NSO and dives deeper into Pegasus. Highly recommended listening after episodes 98 and 99.

Every 15 IQ points from 100 is one standard deviation away, where 100 is the average. So 145 is 3 standard deviations away from average or 99.7%.
A lot of public schools these days let students take these sort of classes at a local community college and these credits can even transfer into your undergrad. Probably not available in more rural parts that don't have these colleges though.
Or not, I guess.

I was, like Steve, rooting for you. Not so sure now...
Do you know math? Did you rediscover it, learn it from materials or individuals outside of school, or learn it in school?

Repeat that exercise with other areas of knowledge.

If the government is in the business of collecting tax from 300+ million people and has power to punish these people if they don't, government already is in the business of writing tax software.
it’s an interesting idea but I have a feeling that harvesting seaweed at the mass scale necessary would have some impact on the ocean.
Yes, but it can be somewhat mitigated by not using SMS or iMessage.

Don't share the phone number of your sim with anyone for any reason whatsoever (or don't put a sim in the phone at all and use an external wifi router (this is what I do), or use a data-only sim), and ensure that iMessage and iCloud is disabled.

This doesn't make your phone invulnerable, it just makes it less vulnerable.
You don't have a problem with an increased level of emissions relative to other possible scenarios of our food system? Imagine if 50% of meat eaters ate 50% less meat, particularly beef. That'd lead to ~25% less meat emissions, aka ~15% less food-based emissions. It's a substantial step towards neutrality without anyone giving up a food permanently.

Long term, we're going to need lab or plant-based meats, since I doubt we'll ever convince people to give up their cherished food items unless economics makes it incredibly expensive.
I'm unsure what kind of an argument you are making. Consider a parallel that could be uttered in the past:

"Letting women vote has no basis in that there is no precedent."

We know enough about nutrition that we could get all the nutrients needed without animal products. If your concern is about health, then how many examples of vegan people living healthy lives into their 90s would be enough to convince you?
I skipped 7th grade. I was also young for my grade as it was, with a summer birthday that meant I was in the youngest cohort just past the cutoff. This had absolutely zero effect on me in high school and I got great grades and did some notable stuff and got into MIT. But the result was that I entered MIT nearly two years younger than most of my peers.

I turned out fine - but in retrospect I had a lot of growing up yet to do, and I think I would have made better use of my college experience if I had been able to do that growing up before college as opposed to during freshman and sophomore year, where you make a lot of decisions that will influence your life for a while. I missed many opportunities at MIT because I didn't really understand how the academic and professional world worked and what would be important to focus on for my career - let alone more personal matters. Looking back now I wish I had actually taken a year off before college, as opposed to skipping a grade in a hurry to get there, and I encourage every high school student and parent I know to think in these terms.

This will of course be very situational. Yes, if you are in a bad high school with bad teachers and bad students, you might be better off skipping it in favor of some alternative. But in general, a lot of growing up is just getting experience and doing things, and high school is how you get a lot of that experience before you go to college and have to do bigger and more consequential things. Don't be (or don't let your kids be) in a hurry to get ahead of that curve.
Bullshit.

A large portion of the population have been vegetarian for a long time. How is something alive and well and growing be unrealistic
I knew a few kids who went to college very early. To say that it messed up their life is an understatement. Schools should figure out how to teach smart kids useful stuff while they get to learn how to be social with kids their own age.
You bring up a good point. It's be really nice to see how much of an overlap there is between MailChimp and Intuit users.
I didn't know but I simply googled it. It's from Leta Hollingworth, a researcher on gifted children from the mid-20th century, her book "Children Above 180 IQ".
I felt like this figure was a bit low, and it is, because it doesn’t take into account the yield from each food source.

E.g. as the article states “to produce 1kg of wheat, 2.5kg of greenhouse gases are emitted. A single kilo of beef, meanwhile, creates 70kg of emissions”

Which is a much more meaningful way to look at it.

It keeps them closely guarded and selective about use. All of that makes me an unlikely target and reduces individual risk.
The one problem is many reservations are nowhere near cities. The federal government tended to want to put Native Americans on land away from the settlers.

The other problem is how the tribe implemented its TERO (Tribal Employment Rights Ordinance or Office) rules. They can often be particularly odious to business ventures on the reservation.

Of course it did, exactly because there was a lockdown that prevented many COVID deaths.

If there hadn't been a lockdown, many more people would have died from COVID than now died from drinking. Sweden for example, famous for its non-lockdown, suffered 10 times as many COVID deaths than neighboring Norway with lock-down (and alcohol).
It wouldn't be too far-fetched to imagine that NSO is running malware campaigns against Apple and Google employees.

Nothing about high school is relevant to the real world. At no other point in your life are you in forced proximity with random people within your age cohort, who have no responsibilities outside of school work and maximizing their social status. This is an unnatural environment and nothing about it is necessary to becoming a functioning adult. The benefits that high school does bring to social development is not exclusive to high school. But it brings so many detrimental experiences as to be a net negative in many cases.

What would happen if that kind of education was available to everyone?

What would happen if world-lead expert personal tuition was available to everyone? (Obviously impractical, but let's pretend, as a thought experiment.)

To what extent are we standing our own feet as a species by prioritising hierarchy and economic discrimination over free access to the best possible education for everyone?

Especially for those who want it and can benefit from it?
What is a "modern KJV"? The complete and unabridged 1997 Oxford World classics edition?

And many (but not all) of the abridged versions keep the dedication, even while removing the Apocrypha and original translator's introduction.

Going back to my example, if abridged versions of War and Peace outsold complete ones, I don't think it would make sense to claim there was such a thing as the "modern War and Peace" which differed from the original.

That's where the "there must be no software freedom" is exactly what might be mandated. It's trivial to re-purpose Apple CSAM mechanism to do this "detection" and something that might actually happen in the future.
I would not say that it was a rough experience, just that it had a stronger cognitive component than I had expected as a vaccinated individual. Was I supposed to give actionable advice? I clearly said my experience was an anecdote.

I was out of town when I became infected so I was not able to procure monoclonal antibodies during the recommended period, the healthcare logistics were a pain (as they often are in the states). I of course took high bioavailability zinc, magnesium, vitamin d, vitamin c, etc, etc.

If you're asking that I provide actionable advice I would suggest these things in so far as I'm qualified to make any suggestions.

1. get vaccinated

2. keep an oxygen meter on hand or use the one on your phone

3. keep a home antigen test on hand

4. if you test positive throw whatever your doctor recommends at it

5. When traveling wear a comfortable silicon respirator with a good fit.

6. It would be nice to have a nasal spray vaccine, it was very clear during my infection that covid was not able to find purchase outside of my heads mucosal... zone? region? it seems like a nasal spray booster that targets strengthening the immune response of that part of your body might be of enormous benefit to prevent these cognitive effects in mild cases.

Ellen Pao still chasing clout, I see -- no better way than riling up the Twitter masses. So what if employees have no equity? The business was profitable enough to pay them a fair market salary, it's not like they were indentured servants. What stops them from building their own $12B exit?

I hate this selective criticism; for goodness' sake, she was the CEO of reddit -- a company with ethical controversies every other week, but she attacks MailChimp? Give me a break.
there is a wide range of exploit brokers and a decent number of security researchers that choose $ over morality as long as there is demand there will be supply.
Sharding?

In what sense?
> Without technology, copyright is unenforceable. It might as well not even exist. Piracy has proven that.

Like I said, you're making no sense at all.

With or without technology (you meant with, right? no that makes no sense either) copyright is clearly enforceable.

We have over 300 years of enforcement on copyright, even when it's trivial to copy.

Technology, or copying, wasn't invented this century, you know. "Piracy has proven that"... we have hundreds of years of easy reproduction pre-copyright too.

> either we abolish copyright, or all computers will eventually be turned into consumer appliances and we'll need programming licenses to write code.

"Either we make murder legal, or nobody may own a knife or other sharp object ever again".

See how it's nonsense?

Yeah, I have good experiences with Mattermost (bundled with GitLab) as chat for a hackerspace/makerspace. As long as you're OK with unencrypted push messages, building your own version of the app and keeping it up to date is horrible. (React native levels of horrible.)

Why doesn't control of Edge give Microsoft a say in web standards? They are not just a Chrome reskin: they can and do add features that Google doesn't like or hasn't prioritized, etc.
It’s true you can start small and scale up, but it still would probably take many years to accumulate enough batteries to make a significant difference. Secondly, it doesn’t make 20 years to build a modern nuclear power plant, 5 years is a better estimate. So nuclear is still easily the cheaper/faster/proven method compared to batteries or thermal.
QNX, Floppix (2 diskettes)[0], MenuetOS[1], and Kolibri[2] were all very exciting to me in the early '00s. Eventually I got a USB drive (128MB!) and more or less gave up on the floppy life, but I do still appreciate the idea of running froim a floppy.

>It's anecdotal, but those do seem to be the ones with most behavioral issues and find it hard to play creatively.

> At break time/recess some of the kids play games based on Brawl Stars & Zooba and if you don't play those then you're excluded.

This is ultimately the fundamental issue. The trade-off between social involvement and behavioral development is really difficult. In your opinion, do you think that limiting their screen time has had a significant negative social effect? Or has limiting their screen time actually had a positive effect on their social skills?

Adding on to that, do you personally think that the social trade-offs are worth the behavioral gains associated with limiting their screen time? Or is there some piece I'm missing where limiting screen time is actually beneficial to both?

This isn't meant as a judgement of your parenting style if it comes off that way. I'm just genuinely curious about what trade-offs you see with your style versus other parenting styles. As someone who grew up similarly to your children, I certainly never regretted missing out on video games as a kid. I do recognize that times are changing though with respect to video games and the Internet.
The International Baccalaureate high school program is international and offers exactly that, my experience with it has been incredible so far and I know that it's helped me prepare for college in uncountable ways. Our capstone essay is 4000 words on a class of our choice, so whatever the student is passionate about, they can write their essay on. This is a perfect solution to students who may be intelligent but unmotivated outside of their interest area. For example, mine is about peer-to-peer networking; I spend most of my nights doing research for the paper and it certainly is preparing me for college.

It's not available everywhere I believe, but if it's available, there's another option compared to AP classes or regular classes (or other magnet/governor schools).

Buy frozen cooked chicken bits and frozen cook pork patties, (Or beef) and frozen peas/corn/carrots/greens. and multivitamins.
Microwave the ramen as long as it takes to cook. Same with the meat and veggies (Ramen alone is cheap but stark - get Ramen from a Chinese supermarket in case lots - they have many flavors -get what you like.
Eat Ramen alone for speed =lower nutrition though, as the others need microwaving one after the other = more time, but the others improve nutrition- as you choose?
Take a vitamin pill a day.

I meant it in the sense that it's not happening. But that if it happened, I'd be more worried. I think it would also fail.

The mere act of taking money, and Amazon presumably pays them a lot, is not immoral.

It only starts to be a problem if larger percentages of the teams work at Amazon, and people would be put onto teams just for being employed at Amazon. Linus Torvalds has made it clear that he doesn't make people maintainers for some component just for being employed somewhere. Instead of being bound to a company, maintainership is bound to the person. I think this is a good policy and one that Rust should keep.
Recently, I've been forced down a rabbit-hole in this space, the tl:dr of it being I have crappy internet where I live, and I've had to cobble together a multiple-ISP solution with load balancing wherein the individual ISP connections are on opposite sides of the house, and it is absurdly difficult to understand.

I have a ton of old computers/equipment that I'm sure could do most of the lifting, and I'm relatively proficient in Linux et al, it's my daily driver -- but I just ended up buying a load balancing router and using multiple routers etc.

It's frustrating knowing that I don't need it, but the family needed remote-work-class internet faster than I could learn how to do it my way.

Hopefully well see more stuff like this because, unless I missed something big, this space is dismal

Removing high school doesn't necessarily deprive a child of formative experiences, it just changes them.

It's possible for the change to be bad (e.g. parents in a cult pulling their kids out of school to move to The Compound), but I'd wager that if you took a kid who felt like high school was a terrible experience and gave them other constructive options and the resources to pursue them, it'd almost always be a net win.

The value of the 'high school experience' is contextual, not everyone will experience the same balance of good and bad. For some people, the bad is so overwhelming that it goes beyond the point of constructive and well into destructive. Those situations aren't hard to detect.
What are your thoughts on the Pharmaceuticals Industry’s ties to the Democrat Party?

My partner's one-person service business sends out monthly availability emails to her small list of eager customers. Plain text would not suit her image and brand at all.

Really I think your appeal to heodinism is just a value system like everyone else. Some people choose vegetables over nihilism.
A good approach is to use the 3-2-1 backup strategy. You should have 3 copies of your data (1 working set and 2 backup copies) on 2 different media (disk, dvd, NAS, cloud…) with 1 copy off-site for disaster recovery (cloud, external disk at another location…). Depending on the type of data, on how paranoid you are and the budget available you could do extra variations. i.e. 4 set of data, different filesystem (NTFS, exFAT, btrfs, ZFS, ext4…), different disk manufacturers, different batches of hard disks, different NAS enclosures, different methods (soft RAID, H/W RAID, error correction…), encryption and storage in friends house and so on :-)
If you can afford it buy a dual disk NAS and also use your spare 2.5 disks in external usb cases and synchronize your data every once in a while.
> I also don't want the government to get in the business of writing tax software.

Filing taxes in the rest of the developed world is essentially a one-click process, because every tax authority in the rest of the developed world already have all the information necessary to create such software (and so does the IRS).

This is a problem entirely caused by lobbying efforts. It literally does not exist for the rest of the developed world. Why insist on having it worse than everyone else, for the sole gain of the likes of Intuit? It's baffling to say the least.

You think it’s more realistic (and better for the environment) to farm seaweed at global beef production scale? You’d have to dredge up so much seaweed and ship it all the way to the cows, it would be insanely bad for marine environments and so expensive to do at that scale. Meanwhile growing feed from the ground can be done right beside the cows at rock bottom prices.

There are millions (billions?) of people that don’t eat cows, it is not unrealistic for people to stop eating them, culture changes very quickly
