Added a link above to the current site/video that I have. If you have any feedback (even if you don't use it) I'd love to hear from you, my email is in my bio here.

Edit: Much appreciated!
The discussion on general IQ has been raging for a long time and will continue for a long time into the future. The reason is simple.
* The tests are obviously flawed and it doesn’t take long to find information confirming the flaws.
* The tests are also useful because they can generally be used to predict outcome.
* You don’t throw away tools that are useful because they fail in edge cases, you try to fix the tool (they have been trying to remove biases from general IQ tests for a long time) or try to redesign it to be more general (theory of multiple intelligences and tests based on multiple IQs).

I also thought it was funny that the guy is using the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis to try to prove IQ bullshit since that hypothesis isn’t generally accepted.

But hey:
1) nothing “useful” gets discarded, not even if something better comes around
2) people that don’t know about this stuff will misrepresent it because they don’t really understand it

P.s.: I thought the paper (Rule of Law and Democracy as Potential Mechanisms) he quoted was rather representative of the type of derivative work you would expect when you just mash together previous research (without checking) to come up with some “research” to get through class.

P.P.s: The best example of IQ tests failing I have seen was with a Professor that tried to “control” for a lot of the problems this twitter thread goes into. He used South African university students (so age and not being used to testing isn’t an issue), he payed them for their time (so they didn’t just rush through it) and so on. He managed to close the IQ gap but it still was large enough that he was rather devastated by the results. The “cultural bias free” IQ test failed again.
Aye, I used to live somewhere like that as well. It’s still ridiculous when outside is 40C and inside is 16C, there’s no need for that.
However you cut it, divorce rates are substantially higher among the working class. If you look at educational attainment:

% divorced among those married, by age 46:

Did not graduate from high school: 58.8

High school graduate, no college: 49.1

Some college or associate degree: 48.5

Bachelor's degree or higher: 29.8

I've definitely seen this problem in offices I've worked in. Another downside of open-plan.

It sounds like the situation may improve if the temperature adapts on an annual basis so that the delta between inside and outside isn't so high?

Because inefficient bureaucracies like education systems waste capital. They have no signaling mechanisms for success or failure. Notably, a teaching degree is the same price as a computer science degree, and some colleges are able to charge six figures in tuition even if they provide no better job prospects than community college or less.

As to why software devs make so much, it's a simple matter of revenue per employee. Software is insanely scalable. While it is capital intensive to produce software, it is nearly free to distribute. A handful of developers can produce multi-billion dollar software programs, because the market is the entire internet (billions of people). A grade school teacher can at most teach 30 or so kids at a time.
You didn't ask me, but piggybacking anyway. Some of these I've been going back to for years starting back in my PhD, working through some ideas as I have time. Some I have recently been learning new things from.

The paper itself says that blood thinners are already recommended for Covid patients.

"In response to a number of reports that anticoagulant therapy with heparin leads to better prognosis in COVID-19 patients, both domestic and international organizations have issued clinical practice guidelines recommending that all hospitalized COVID-19 patients should receive thromboprophylaxis (mainly heparin treatment) even without clear symptoms of thrombotic complications and understanding their efficacy."
Since they talk about using methane to create hydrogen, why not use methane directly?

We can absolutely back out it just won’t necessarily cripple China. Then again they rely on foreign resources and your local Starbucks doesn’t accept the rumimbi(sic).
OK, but neither are examples of language being different based on the speaker, they are both based on gender of the object, whether is is contextually yourself, or another.
For «Governmental [and] municipal» information, you should be vocal as a community and/or individual community members. "Look you could visit n websites per day - and get lost in formatting, though already to visit all potential sources is impossible -, or there is this old simple thing that automatically lets one know that source S has these news..." It could be that already the representatives are unaware of the possibility and of the relevant simple solution.
5Mbps when 56k would be more than enough.
From the article:

"First, we analyzed 38,851 responses to the CBE Occupant Survey about satisfaction with temperature from 435 office buildings across 168 cities in the US."
Netfilter (the kernel backend for the deprecated {ip,arp,ip6,eb}tables and the newer nftables) supports allow/deny by ipsets, and you can configure some DNS resolvers such as dnsmasq to populate an ipset from a DNS name.

This has a few issues, though, such as the fact that it is impossible to allow one site but not another if they are both hosted at the same IP address. After all, DNS names are basically just aliases for IP addresses unless the application layer protocol assigns them some semantic meaning (as is the case with HTTP and TLS).

If that matters, you do have to resort to something protocol-aware like an intercepting HTTP proxy that inspects the Subject Name Indicator for TLS traffic or the Host header for plaintext HTTP traffic. Or a regular HTTP proxy, if your application supports that configuration.
this seems to represent a rather limited concept of what an actual SBOM would need to be, rather impacted by someone working (primarily?) with non-compiled languages.

If your app depends on compiled libraries, then the build-time options used to construct the library are as important as version and checksum information.

I see this a lot on HN and the links here - lots of developers for whom a "dependency" is literally a file of non-compiled code, and thus not subject to changes in behavior unless edited. This is not true for compiled languages (and, for all I know, might not even be true for some non-compiled languages).
Yes. The difference between the dialects of Lakota, Nakota & Dakota is that the L's in Lakota are replaced by N's and D's in their respective dialects.
Seems like education doesn't have to scale terribly - perhaps we should move to a system where the highest quality teachers produce content that can be asynchronously shared globally (think Masterclass, language permitting), while the "in-house" teachers can work more as "guides".

There'll still be a varied quality of in-house teaching, but at least the primary lessons could be world-class regardless of the location.
Exactly. Folks should be dressed for the season: it is fundamentally unreasonable to be wearing nothing but a T-shirt in the winter, or to be wearing a sweater in the summer. This means being dressed in such a manner as to be comfortable walking at a moderate pace outdoors (such as if one were walking to & from a transit stop), modulo removable outerwear. That implies that the office temperature should be low enough in the winter in northern latitudes to be pleasant for those wearing long underwear. It should not be hot indoors in the winter.

In the summer, it should be warm enough to still be comfortable for folks wearing short sleeves, maybe short pants (depending on how warm it gets outside). It should not be cold indoors in the summer.
I was thinking accidental denial of service attack by badly scripted bot crawling their site every 15 minutes was an adequate replacement, but they didn't agree with that.
US has 4th higher education spending per student in the world, just behind Austria and Norway (US and these two all spend around $15k/student), and behind Luxembourg ($20k).

But, national per student spending only really small part of the story. It is more instructive to observe that there are lots and lots of school districts which spend more than $15k, but nevertheless get atrocious educational outcomes, for example New York City, Baltimore, or Chicago. If New York City public schools can spend nearly $30k per student, but nevertheless have worse outcomes than national average, why would anyone believe that more money is what American schools need?
It's possible! Hadn't thought of that. What's most frustrating is that they don't even tell us that. If they did, maybe I would integrate it. But without being sure, it could be a massive waste of time.
I understood this as hydrogen from methane is todays method of choice to generate hydrogen for industrial use. Not as proposal for the future.
Cars break down, people don't return their cars in time, some of the staff processing cars call out sick, there's a wide variety of reasons your inventory day of might be less than predicted. Either you need to have a lot of extra vehicles sitting idle to make up the deficit or you need to screw over your customers, and car rentals are too low margin for the former to be a viable option.
I think what parent means is that /astrology/, per se, is mostly consumed by women, whereas Jung's work, which can be viewed as similarly unscientific, is quite widely read by males, when compared with astrology texts.
TCO is something that specific JS engines need to implement. It is implemented in JSC (Safari), but not in V8 or SpiderMonkey. Also see https://v8.dev/blog/modern-javascript#proper-tail-calls.

As this is an engine feature rather than a spec thing, there is nothing me (or any other TC39 delegate) can do.
Not all services support it yet, but private endpoints are a great solution to this issue in azure.

Most devs that I know prefer CLI over GUI, even when GUI makes their life easier.

But a GUI typically doesn't make life easier. The things I choose to do on the command line, I do there because the experience is better. I can type a few commands separated by semi-colons and hit enter, faster (by far) than I can move the mouse pointer halfway across the screen, select some drop down menu, pick an item, move to a different part of the screen, click a button, then move to the bottom of the screen and click a "Go" button. And even if the GUI has proper keyboard shortcuts, I can still, as a general rule, get things done faster using a good CLI.

And I don't see anything about my personal experience with HN that would be improved by any changes to the CSS, or any added Javascript. This does exactly what I need it to do as is today.

Maybe developers don't so much love boring design, as they oppose design which amounts to "change for the sake of change", and which prioritizes aesthetics over functionality.
Would be nice if he could divorce the opinion from the reporting in the piece. The use of the word 'cult' to describe people who disagree with you is also not only annoying but flags the article as being too opinion driven to be worth reading.

Anyone know of any factual articles about the issue?
> How is this obvious?

By using a WAF you are explicitly blocking many standard hacking attempts such as SQLi. At least it seems obvious to me to take the precaution of having one, you can never trust that your code or the library’s you use don’t have security holes.

By using a hosted or managed WAF it means when there is a new venerability found (such as Log4Shel) the service updates the rules and you have a level of mitigation before even patching your system or even being aware of it.
> It's like people don't get that arbitrary and shifting rules with inconsistent enforcement are by design, so as to make the people subject to them police themselves, which is more effective at managing a community than real rules.

Or maybe just enforcing community standards is really hard and often you find cases that are obviously wrong and harmful but don't fall under the enumerated list of rules that are broken.

Making rules for punishment is really really hard. How hard? Look at the entire study of law. Arbitrary decisions fill in the gaps.

It is not reasonable to expect a small company running a small community for a free product to offer a professional arbitration equivalent to legal professionals.
> If, on a hypothetical example, we could come up with an experiment where you removed half of 100 people's nervous system and most of them kept acting like normal then the scientific method would "prove" that materialism isn't correct

Ah, you yourself are falling into the old failings of combating materialism: Using materialist methods and materialist measures. Trying to prove materialism wrong with materialist frameworks is a fools errand. Like mentioned above: it has failed time and time again, and I'm fairly confident it would fail in your example.

That's just the federal budget, and does not include state and local spending. Most education funding is at the state and local level, though.
I just had a look at Airsonic [1] since I'm both a user and a developer and happened upon a related question on Github. Not having access to any fancy-schmancy "SBOM SAAS tool (<blink>try it now for free!!1!</blink>) I just git-grepped the repo which gave me 2 hits. Looking at those I found they were caused by (Apache) commons-logging.jar containing stubs to interface with Log4j. Problem solved.

I absolutely love hearing these kinds of historical tidbits. Had no idea NT had a built-in Prolog interpreter. Prolog was one of my favorite languages back in college, neat to see that it was used like this in Windows.
Why do you set a max-width but not centre the main container? It just looks a bit odd to me.

It's good to be cautious, but this is sort of a silly test.

Protonmail doesn't have to "log" messages; they have them already. If I were Protonmail and I had to comply with lawful intercept requirements, I'd just:

a) make sure that message content isn't deleted from the mailbox when the user thinks it is

b) make sure I retain access to server-managed PGP keys (by logging key material and user-supplied passphrases)

But I sure as hell would not call some Java logger.trace() on every goddamn email! That's totally nonscalable and just silly.
ActivityHub (formerly known as PubSubHubBub) is also acceptable. No social media intermediary required, and it's actively developed.

Edit: I meant WebSub above. ActivityHub is cool too but not quite in the same space.
Enterprise businesses are a majority of the workforce and drive trends that are followed by small businesses.
well, there's a world for that: colonialism.

It's a well known fact that US supremacy is mainly due to their military power, but, for example, they lack behind in many other areas, even compared to not completely developed countries like China (that invests a lot more in education[1][2] and cultural products[3])

[1] the United States spent 2.6 percent of GDP on total expenditures on education institutions

[2] public expenditure on education in China amounted to around 4.22 percent of national GDP. That value increased from around 2.5 percent in the mid-1990s to above 4 percent in 2012

[3] China is now the lead exporter of cultural goods, followed by the United States. In 2013, the total value of China's cultural exports was US$60.1 billion; more than double that of the United States at US$27.9 billion.
I think most places with a dress code would allow opaque tights and a suit jacket. But I'd also thought that the office dress code had been greatly relaxed in the past few decades, and hopefully the WFH revolution will put a dent in what remains.
Are there offices that still require skirts for women?

I know that used to be a rule many years ago, but I was under the impression that slacks or pantsuits were acceptable business attire for women just about everywhere.
If your doing software which will need to pass an FDA audit, having a “SBOM” is required, though most would use “SOUP”, software of unknown providence. In these cases I can see a service like this be very useful.

There’s a ton of stuff on HN which is just ads for SaaS companies, at least this is new and different. It’s might also be something many are interested in, in light of the Log4j exploit. It would have help me a great deal.
You are describing pensions. That's how pensions work, and have been working for decades now.

Would creating a national pension system work better?
English kind of has traces of this in eg “I’m an actress/waitress/stewardess” (vs actor/waiter/steward) although gendered role-terms like those are less common and tend to get phased out in favor of gender-neutral ones (“server” replacing waiter/tress and “flight attendant” replacing steward/ess). And I wouldn’t consider it incorrect or out of place for a woman to say “I’m an actor”.

Oh come on! The guy makes the most insane, dumb and stupid bill he can, and then cries fowl when the usual twitter people make threats.

Then he can fail, and have an excuse for failing. This is just bad politics, and it's meant to demonize the unvaxxed.

I'm not condoning threats, but all senators and legislators get threats, and they are no longer a reason to whine and complain. It's part of the territory with such divided politics.

The difference is that Democrats own the FBI, so threats against them are investigated. Threats against the other side aren't.

So yeah, not buying it, failed and failing politician on his way down.
"people with quicker judgments don't necessarily have better ones"

I totally agree with you here. For example Ben Shapiro is a smart guy and a quick thinker. He has a lot of good points but I would never fully trust his reasoning without checking it. Being a quick thinker doesn’t make you a thorough thinker but it does allow you to look good while steamrolling anybody who thinks slower than you.
Wind and solar have phases of overproduction and hydrogen generation seems sensible here, especially if you scale up generation, the article is wrong here.

If you should wait for a hydrogen car instead of a battery one is indeed questionable. I also think that storing hydrogen will always be difficult. But as a fuel cell it might have its uses.

This isn't about either/or. Far more cultish is the idea that says otherwise.
> If you want to sell your product/look for investors you need analytics.

Most meaningful analytics don't need these trackers. They can be done server-side with info you already have such as orders, logins, active users. If an investor bases their decision primarily based on how many users Google Analytics reports the probably aren't the most critical.
There's no reason it can't be both at the same time: IQ helps for education and education helps raise IQ.

Since they are controlling for the other effects, that means this analysis doesn't measure them. (Assuming, that is, the controls worked.)
It happens in programming jobs here but in different ways. The general style I think you're thinking of seems more likely to me for startups to try experimenting with (and more informally), but we also have a different style where you work for a general contracting agency who has you work for another company for a fixed term. Some of those after the fixed term can transform into that other company hiring you directly (and giving you higher pay not cut by the contracting company, benefits, etc. that you lacked as a contractor), or if not the contracting company helping you find a new company to contract for. The final style I can think of is already institutionalized at big companies for entry level roles in the form of hiring interns almost done with college. They work for you for a few months of the summer (often at equivalent 'hourly' salaries as a senior role) and if you like them, you offer them a full time position (at a lower entry level salary) starting next summer after they graduate. It can be a smart way to get talent that doesn't yet know it's great, or will become great, without paying a premium.

The biggest problem when hiring people with experience though, and why the probation style is pretty rare in the direct form I think you're thinking of, is that it's going to filter out the best people -- just like many other too onerous hiring practices filter them. They're just not going to put up with it when they have much better options. For Europe to the extent such a practice works at all is probably related to how universal it is for employees and employers to have a symmetric long period of notice of termination/notice of quitting that often ends up being at least a month if not 60+ days. In the US, every state is at-will, you can leave at any time and be dismissed at any time (within the bounds of certain legal protections, paranoid risk of violating which has driven larger companies to an insane PIP-style process of nudging someone out the door over a period of months). I think US companies and employees both should continue leaning in to that more as an advantage.
