The unfortunate reality is that group level differences in characteristics associated with intelligence are measurable. It is pretty much an open secret in genomics.

Additionally, given how regression to the mean works, a small enough endogamous minority will display larger deviations from the mean (positive or negative) than larger ethnic groups that usually constitute the majority.

I agree that it is a really tricky line to walk. The brazen pursuit of truth or tabooing of prospectively society uprooting revelations. Both are a result of the same observation, just different moral systems.

I'm sure many grapple with this struggle in their own way. However, ostrasizing those who find themselves on the other side of that fence by shouting various 'X-isms', is neither productive nor effective.
Php can be immensely productive to develop web apps in, it has all the things u need out of the box no libraries needed. Infact that is how most of the old php was written.
Nowadays people use frameworks bcz they find themselves more productive

Sounds like the privateers promised on paper to hold British prisoners for a certain amount of time, but actually set them free at the first convenient opportunity. Franklin didn't know this, and tried to set up an exchange of on-paper British prisoners for real American ones. The British were laughing because Franklin didn't know that he'd been ripped off by the privateers.

Answering this question is tricky because any answer is essentially inviting trolling. This community has both extremely technical people as well as a variety of people who basically live on 4chan (and there is quite an overlap between the two) so things can get dicey in that regard.

Just some hivemind topics-

* Free Speech. This community tends to be extremist about this, which in turn means anything that can be construed as limiting free speech will, somewhat ironically, not result in a productive conversation.

* Corporate Libertarianism. This community also tends to be extremely pro-corporate, and there's a lot of "if you don't like it work somewhere else". That being said I've seen some push back against this lately.

* Meritocracy. If you challenge the idea that silicon valley is a meritocracy people seem to get really upset.

I would definitely say that there are reddit communities that are worse, and some that are better.
I'm dealing with something that is equivalent to the logarithm, sure. But since I'm not using anything beyond real numbers, this is infinitely simpler than bivectors or complex logarithms and I don't need calculus.

The rational angles are only used to introduce the trigonometric functions. From then on we can deal with any real angle using arcs of circles and trigonometric functions.

Therefore we don't have any issues. We can deal with angles perfectly well as long as we can know the circumference of a circle.

Whereas otherwise we would need either calculus or complex numbers, but we need geometry to make sense of them and we need angles to make sense of geometry without handwaving or making it needlessly difficult to learn.

In other words, an angle measure isn't a logarithm, a logarithm is equivalent to an angle measure when we accept constructs that are not necessary but are sufficient to angle measures.
You're not wrong, but it's important to keep in mind that for more complicated FPGAs, they have hard IP blocks in them often supplied by other companies. Also consider that when these IPs have errata in them, they can sometimes be worked around with FPGA soft logic. Oh, and parts of the software are supplied by companies like Synopsys.

As far as I am concerned though, Synopsys is essentially Autodesk, and Blender is taking over!

I don't believe in utopia, and any time I see a supposed utopia that is too good to be true I cringe a little.

This isn't rooted in cynicism but in what I think is an accurate understanding of life.

Life exists in a perpetual state of war against entropy. There are always massive problems. Your body spends anywhere from 20% to 50% (depending on how you count it) of its metabolic energy just not falling apart. If your body stopped doing this you would turn into mush in a few days... almost literally.

So if you look at a place and it looks like utopia, there are a few possibilities:

(1) Everyone is paying through the nose in the form of taxes or other fees to pay other people to fix things.

(2) The problems are being hidden through a campaign of propaganda and cosmetics. The extreme of this is known as a "Potemkin village."

(3) There is a system of slavery or near-slavery in which an underclass is handling all the dirty work.

(4) There are massive problems you are just not seeing yet because you are not looking closely enough. This often happens when people visit somewhere or live there briefly but do not stay long enough to really get to know the place deeply.

Singapore has low taxes. Their situation seems to be a mix of options 2-4.

Oh, and on lockdowns:

> There will be some who will make the parallel to lockdowns in the US and the rest of the developed world, but fundamentally, those lockdowns were about sheltering in place at home, applied equally across the population, and gave people autonomy to go out for essential needs etc.

I would argue that the US barely even had true "lockdowns." There were few places in the US where anyone actually got in real trouble for going out, not wearing a mask, etc. There were places of business and public buildings who would turn you away, sure, but that's about as soft of a glove as you can get here. I see tons and tons of people completely ignoring COVID orders and nothing happened to them.

I don't think I want it different. I will call people stupid for ignoring COVID orders and not getting vaccinated, but if I saw people getting arrested I don't think I would be okay with that.
>It’s one of those tax tricks that works as long as nobody ever looks to closely at your tax returns, but if you’re caught you have to pay it back plus penalties.

How is that a tax trick ? Pretty much anyone owning a company pays himself a tax minimum and extracts the rest through profits, etc.
There was a great line in last Sunday's Curb Your Enthusiasm where Larry David (half) jokes about free speech, saying something like "I don't know about free speech. Well, I should have it. The constitution should have said free speech for Larry David, everyone else, check with him first."

Larry is effectively holding up a mirror to the type of people you describe, and yeah what you say is true about people who complain about cancel culture, too. I try to engage anyone worried about losing a job due to something like that. I'll ask, why don't you organize with your co-workers and collectively bargain for labor protections, or consider voting in politicians who are for stronger labor laws, and all of a sudden they remember that their corporatist leanings are stronger than any feelings they may have about the "cancel culture" boogeyman.

It's plain to see that too much of the discourse about free speech or cancel culture doesn't come from a place of good faith...
> Live in Singapore in reality is no more or less 'democratic' than live in Japan or Taiwan or SK.

You absolutely will not be arrested for holding up signs outside government buildings[1], or questioned by the police for reading a book on the train as a protest[2]. You would not be sued to bankruptcy for making what would be considered political speech in these other countries. Or just about anything on this list https://twitter.com/kixes/status/1174024357443600384?s=21.

Singapore is absolutely less democratic - there's no need for scare quotes.

This is remarkable. Assuming improvements continue, this is going to help automate a lot of work that wasn't previously possible to do or too tedious to do.
Interesting, I hadn't heard Chivo was no longer active. I can't seem to find any reference to it being cold, though like you say it's difficult to get perspective not being boots on the ground.

Hopefully other sites that normally have a logged in experience will follow. The Reddit AMP experience is, uh...lousy. The end-user experience on news sites is fine for end users, but not great for the publishers. I suspect, though, they will take longer to move away...not a lot of capital around for them to spend on that.

I thought AMP was a trojan horse from the beginning. Happy to see it dying off.
Looks like a decent basic rundown of what was another nice jump forward (2020 fwiw, 2.0 wasn't just introduced it launched about 1 year ago, current version is 2.1.1). Worth noting a number of these have significant implications for tuning performance in common use cases, so some resources from even a few years ago are now a bit out of date. I know a lot of people for example have followed JRS' "ZFS tuning cheat sheet" [0], and a lot of that still applies. But given the increasing usage of enormously faster but pricier solid state drives, commonly a relative surfeit of processing power, and the performance of ZStandard, I think most people should now consider it over lz4 by default when using solid state drives unless using a very weak system or every last cycle is needed for other tasks (VMs perhaps). A bunch of detailed performance graphs comparing different compression algorithms were posted in the ZSTD feature introduction [1] which can help give a better idea of the right balance. HN had a long discussion on the kind of improvement it can make at scale just a few days ago [2]. Persistent L2ARC has also potentially changed the math there in some cases, though that one in turn may well be obsoleted entirely for SSD pools. And not new here I think but somewhat more recent, for those who do still have things that make use of atime ZFS now includes the Linux style 'relatime' support which does a nice job of splitting the difference between noatime and full atime.

Also, since a reasonable number of people may use ZFS via TrueNAS (formerly FreeNAS), note the GUI there doesn't expose a ton of useful features itself but can still be told to do them since it handles interfacing with ZFS via a plain Python. Currently, GUI pool/fs creation stuff is handled via:

/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/middlewared/plugins/pool.py

'options' handles pool flags and 'fsoptions' fs ones. Modifying that (reboot seems needed to make it take effect afterwards though perhaps reloading something else would do it) will then allow all the GUI setup to work and slice things the way TrueNAS wants while still offering finer grained property control. Particularly useful for things that can only be set at creation time, like pool properties such as ashift/feature flags or fs properties like utf8/normalization.

> San Francisco has many more creatives per capita than Singapore

This is out of scope.

The comparison is about city management. Not creativity.

When you talk about creativity, SF is at the forfront a giant nation of 300M people, 2 orders of magnitude larger population and market size. That naturally support more creativity and innovation.

As for how much the market contribute to your claimed advantage, it's hard to measure. It might be that indeed SF per capita creativity, excluding market impact, is better than SG. I have no reason to doubt that, but I see not proof.

Not mentioning other aspects when you are a central cit in a superpower.
My situation has many similarities. I fully agree with your viewpoint.
Honest question - how? Isn't it in almost everything?

The reason why palm oil is so widespread nowadays is because about 30 years ago it was widely promoted as THE best oil to grow - it has much higher yield than many other oils, and was seen as a "green" alternative since comparatively it takes less land than say, peanut oil.

The problem is that yes, it takes less land, but the land that it can be suitably grown on is very important for other things.
I've personally not come across it, but it just might be a blind spot for me (I've mostly studied breast and ovarian cancers).

My theory is that jobs that pay me well have interesting problems to solve because otherwise they'd pick a cheaper engineer. So I don't worry about how the job sounds and just assume that if it pays a lot better, it will probably come with interesting challenges. So far I haven't been wrong, but maybe I'm just lucky.

So Data Fabric is a bolt-on solution that we can't even honestly attempt today, while Data Mesh requires everyone in the engineering org to embrace data products?

Sounds like startups might adopt Data Mesh, while it's easy to reorient org-level behavior, but big enterprises are doomed to carry forward their current messes until AI magically delivers us Data Fabric as a viable option.

Anyone having more success with these approaches than my pessimistic take implies? Is it easier to adopt Data Mesh in a large org than I realize? Is Data Fabric a more viable option than the author considers?

I agree with everything you wrote here except this:

> However, having enough money in savings that you get $40k/year without having to work is something else entirely. A 65-year-old with that nest egg is borderline-wealthy. A 40-year-old with that level of savings is solidly wealthy.

Why the difference? The 65 year old is going to be able to actually draw down some of the nest egg much sooner than the 40 year old. The 40 year old will be 65 some day. Could you explain what you mean? Is it just that the 40 year may still earn/save even more money, despite not actually needing to?

"Are you considering "childcare years" to include college?"

Somewhat. Personally I think college will be obsolete by the time kids today reach college age. It was a bubble in the early 2000s when I graduated (a significant number of my classmates did not get jobs that make back the debt they took out for it), it's certainly a bubble now, and I think the bubble will have burst in 18 years and people will realize that it's stupid to go to college.

But even if you don't believe quite so extreme predictions - the advantage of thinking in balance-sheet terms is that you set aside funds for these expenses and let them compound until you need it. I just ran a NPV calculation on 4 years of college @ $37K/year starting in 18 years with a 7% discount rate, and it's about $40K. [Note that the effect of inflation on this applies to both college tuition and the discount rate; 7% is average real (after inflation) returns to stocks, but if college tuition rises faster than inflation (say an extra 3%, which is consistent with the last 2 decades), you'd subtract that from the discount rate, and the number comes out to about $70K.] So you'd set aside an extra $40K per child when you retire, target $1.08M instead of $1M, and then you have your kids' college funds.

"Also, in CA/IL/NJ you could easily spend $15k/yr in property taxes alone."

Yup property taxes in VHCOL areas are a big issue. The math still works out though - if you take the budget yupper32 posted down-thread and subtract out taxes and rent, you're spending $1570/month on necessities and have about $1800/month for everything else, more than enough for property taxes. Or just don't live in CA/IL/NJ.

"Lastly, the average price of a new car sold in the US is $40k."

Amortized over 10 years, that's $4K/year or about $333/month, probably a little less because of time-valued discounting. That's already in the budget below - they list $300/month as car payment.
If the spy camera has infrared leds then you can detect those by removing the infrared filter from a camera, can be done on some smartphone cameras programmatically I think.
That's not how it works in the US currently. You go through that process to get your first credit card, yes, but you do not get approved for $40k. My first card was $500. My best one now (with excellent credit score) is $5k IIRC.

If you got approved for $40k, there's something else funny going on.
To be honest, we're in a constant state of almost having cancer, it's just that our immune system handles the little stuff before it gets out of control. Nothing causes cancer, but certain things tip the scales towards the cancer getting out of control.

In Spain some steps have already been taken. At least on Madrid, all schools use MAX, which is developed by public workers and includes useful open-source apps that integrate with the existing EducaMadrid platform, entirely run on open-source software. With that said, people have a hard time using it compared to Windows, which they are most likely already used to use. It also becomes a problem when you need to use it at home. Most people dont know how to install an OS.
In my experience I would say that limiting users in this way, unless they have a very standardized workflow and will never be expected to deviate from it, is a terrible idea. Most of the risks you're actually afraid of don't need local admin to do significant damage. Locking people out of their local OS just protects the local OS (which is trivially reimaged), not their documents, and not the resources they have access to on the network; you know, the stuff you actually care about. Sure, there are a (very) small number of new attack vectors opened into your network by programs which can get local admin, most of which you should be mitigating against anyway, but compared to the added friction you cause the users by taking it away those are just not worth it. And that's before you consider privilege escalation attacks that make it irrelevant if the user even has local admin.

From my past uk financial security experience - security personal can highlight and raise risks with any decision made by the business or other techies.

the higher the risk the more hoops you need to jump through for security sign off (to the point where they will not sign it off) and higher the risk, the higher up the food chain of managment that is needed to sign it off

obv if the execs are not bothered about security then anything can happen

but if something goes wrong a big finger will be pointing at that person who signed it off - which seems in it self a massive deterrent
