>In humans, an association between the 2R allele of the VNTR region of the gene and an increase in the likelihood of committing serious crime or violence has been found. The VNTR 2R allele of MAOA has been found to be a risk factor for violent delinquency, when present in association with stresses, i.e. family issues, low popularity or failing school.[36][37][38][11]

If any experts in this field are available to explain the discrepancy, I'd love to hear from them.
Yes, "race" for geneticists is an imprecise term and in that field there is a growing need for a better descriptor.

Now for cops, or social workers, or everyday speech, race may be just the perfect term - morphology is important to their work, and will remain important. But geneticists are concerned with more than morphology, or appearance.

I don't believe there is a linguistic threat here to everyday speech, or a threat to how we refer to each others appearance. But in genetics, race as a scientific term is in need of improvement - and that is what the article is acknowledging.

I'm not sure I would impute a "woke" angle here.

I wonder about this, do those airbags still work? What is the service life of these safety devices? Is there a service interval? My experience is that all safety related items like airbags are treated as radioactive by independent shops and you have to go to the dealer to get them replaced. Is there even guidance on how often to do that? What's the liability to the manufacturer if an airbag doesn't deploy after 20 years? Is there any?

the first chapter of snowcrash is one of my favorite chapters in any book i’ve ever read. the rest of the book is great and goes into some really bizarre territory on how to manipulate humans, as well as looking at the effects of a truly decentralized economy + metaverse. it’s really forward looking and prescient for a book that was written in 1988-91.

Ah ok, that makes sense. Thanks for acknowledging my criticism of your comment and clarifying your idea.

I think that a lot of advice from VCs is bad, but only because a risk profile that makes sense for an individual VC investment is completely reckless for that individual.

Assuming utility grows linearly with wealth (which it doesn't: a $100M exit is not going to improve your life 20x more than a $5M exit, which makes this worse), the kelly criterion[1] puts the amount of your personal resources you should optimally invest into something that has a small chance at mooning very low. Which is what the VC is doing. But the founder is not.

But ok I'm on a tangent and I think I disagree with your post otherwise.

Currently in the mountain areas of Japan, Honshu for work, by now there would be meters of snow at lower altitudes, today it's so warm I was wearing a singlet around.

It's nice, but it also feels kind of freaky / wrong. I also saw a cherry blossom tree with buds on it on December 15. Was also very unusual.

I don't know where we're going but it doesn't feel like a good place, I wish was more was being done to address the issue because why end up in a hellscape when we don't have too?
Counter-anecdote. I have a 2010 BMW and everything on the car still works flawlessly. It doesn't have BT audio which is a pain since Apple removed the audio jack I have to choose between charging and audio out. It has a built-in hard drive in the infotainment system so I could load music on that if I want, but it's a bit clunky.

The built-in mapping/nav system is light years ahead of even the latest apps by Apple and Google. With just a couple taps of the iDrive knob I can add a stop for a rest area or gas station en-route. There is even a prompt for this when the gas reserve is reached. Maps are easy to read and convey useful information like street names and arterial/freeways even when navigation is disabled.
Huh?

Agree on Microsoft and Google. But it could have been anyone from maybe 20 companies.

On Tesla... I'm not sure it's a good analogy. I don't think you can point to Tesla and say they got lucky anywhere. What will GM/Ford/Toyota/Daimler/Volvo do differently now? Tesla is selling speed/sex appeal/engineering/electric - ie all those companies were already all competing on these dimensions. They can't seem to execute.

Google and Microsoft were plenty capable of executing, they just didn't see what the product they needed to deliver was.
haha! I felt the same way about Seveneves, although I guess that doesn’t have as much hype. The premise for the opening chapter was so cool, and then the exhaustive descriptions of spaceships and orbital mechanics and what not was just too dry. Maybe I’ll give it another attempt in a few years.
Quick question that I couldn't find in your FAQ: Can you reply to forwarded emails? As in can you communicate back and forth with someone sending emails to an alias?

The whole idea of web3 is that identity is intertwined with all of this. NFTs will be enforceable because all web3 services will use the blockchain as the main arbiter of truth in the digital world. E.g. if you built an NFT based card game, no platform (game application, deck-building site, forum, etc.) would recognize your "fake" NFT as real.

You could build an nft based ticketing platform. The ticket issuer issues NFT tickets on the blockchain, all the infrastructure for trading NFTs is in place (you could literally trade concert tickets on OpenSea). There's no "forking" this NFT because the concert venue would only accept the ones they issue. You then show up to the concert venue with your phone, sign a message proving ownership of the ticket, and walk right in. This process eliminates all exploitative middlemen like ticketmaster because all the mechanisms for ticket distribution and selling have been built on web3 already.

> Are we not allowed to be judgemental?

I am far from innocent here but I'm gonna say no. You are saying IoT is far from a worthy cause. Really? Is it not worthy that my aging grandparents can open the door from their bed and not have to go downstairs, turn on their lights in the dead of night from their phone so they don't have to risk stumbling and falling when reaching for the light switch, or even just more accurate track their health? I think those are all pretty worthy causes.
You'd be surprised how many people this article affected: The idea of re-investing your money into your business and not making a profit isn't an obvious one (as evidence by everyone's criticisms of Amazon at the time). But they took it to heart, immediately applied it to their business, and succeeded massively. Last I checked their net worth is at least $40 million (starting from a few thousand dollars).

I'm not saying that's all you need to be successful. It's not so simple. Nothing ever is.

But 8 years later, and this essay can stand on its own accord, not just as a historical artifact of its time, but as stellar business advice.

I'm honestly not sure what point you think I'm trying to make. Because that's not really relevant to what I was trying to express, and I'm kind of tired of trying to clarify my point only to feel like people are ignoring what I say. Either I'm not expressing it well, or people are failing to bother considering it. I'll let you keep whatever interpretation of my point you have, as it's no longer worth trying to correct.
Correct. They are commenting on Poetry without knowing anything about it, other than it being new and unfamiliar. Always amazed at the arrogance behind that behavior.
My biggest problem with tables is that I can't control in which columns the additional space goes with a table wider than content, e.g. when table has style width:100%

Often this should be the "description" column and not the "number of items" or "price" columns.

I'd really like a "flex-grow" for table columns.

(And I can't use display:grid as it doesn't have running headers/footers for PDF files)

Give the Three Body Problem series a try, I think you’ll enjoy it immensely.
I largely agree with you. You make a compelling case for meaningful interactions over the trite. You make good points as to like vs benefit, the possible detriment of a battery of one-off interactions, the failures of humans to recognise their own state/risk.

I feel we could go listing more things around social media and this post could go on forever. But I won't, because of the below.

Every person is acting in their own perceived self interest. Including me.

So for myself, because of many of the reasons you state, I largely gave up on FB. I think I am better off for it due to more meaningful real world interactions.

But then with a social group in the real world space do I need to continue adding friends all the time via HN? Not really. Cue Seinfeld "I'm sure you're a very nice person you seem to have a lot of potential, but we're just not hiring right now." Maybe I am doing myself a disservice by not "socially climbing" but honestly at some point, I can only do so much. I love the people I do, and I am content with that.

But - like the world in general - HN as a site has some amazing people. And what I glean from this site through "literature like" reading I feel benefits me.

And then, like you, I comment occasionally - in the vein of HN trying to make it a positive contribution - so as to try to return to someone else a similar benefit as I feel I have received. I try not to be trite. I try not to worry as to whether a comment is well received as long as I have tried to make a decent contribution. I don't always succeed of course, and maybe that's where the detriment sets in.

But - despite the evidence that social media is only good for pursuing deeper and more meaningful relationships - I don't feel I need to be a particular friend of yours to try add a thoughtful reply. It doesn't mean I love you any less however. Hell, maybe a meaningful relationship will develop of it's own natural accord as we both live on. But it's not my aim.

Have a great day, whether you celebrate Xmas or not.

sounds like the author would appreciate the holochain framework and its built-in throwaway DHT network ontology allowing a surprisingly simple linked-data paradigm in a distributed computing environment, which in turn allows an incredibly intricate web of graphed knowledge.

But the whole point of curiosity is to find out more about something in order to form a judgement. We just need to be willing to change judgements when shown the constraints. In a way, asking people to be non judgemental kills curiosity.

I'd quote Marc Andreessen: "Strong opinions; weakly held."
Meh I'll just stick with syncthing.

I bought one too. I tried to make the giant water bottles work and they just don’t for me. They’re too clunky to use. I like that this pitcher is made of borosilicate glass and has a good profile for desk usage. Good job OP.
Read that one too this year. Didn't like how he tried to scare the reader off from complex numbers though! Perhaps a product of the time it was written in?
Another data point from Honda: I have a 2016 Civic, which I've owned for three years. The infotainment system froze up once, I restarted the car and it was fine. No other issues, Carplay has worked great. My car is the Touring edition, so it also has about 80% of the self-driving functionality that I'd get from a Tesla at a fraction of the cost, and it gets incredible gas mileage while being impressively fast for a cheap compact.
It is probably a play on Collin McRae. But McRae died under tragic circumstances and to me it felt slightly odd to allude to his name in this manner.

To my knowledge, there is no implementation for rowspan or colspan attributes in a flex grid. Also, to note, I am not advocating for table-based layouts for non-tabular data.

>It means that regardless of whether you are an athletic prodigy, someone with developmental disabilities, or anybody else, you are deserving of equal share in governance — in contrast with aristocracy where some are considered more worthy to rule over others by dint of who they are.

What does "an equal share of governance" mean? The question right now isn't enfranchisement, it's whether racial groups-- or ancestral groups, or ethnic cateories-- should have forced proportional representation in things like college admissions, med school admissions, or criminal arrest rates. The assumption put forth by self-labeled antiracists is that disproportionate representation is by itself evidence of racism. That's their core axiom, and it totally ignores signficant heritable (or cultural or environmental) differences between groups. It's an inherently disingenuous ideology, as nobody complains about the overrepresentation of NFL players with African ancestry, for example, but it's an idea with a whole lot of capital behind it.
Love the premise. Read the Principles — good ground to stake out!

Nitpick though, with:

> “Provably correct. We aim for our code to be provably correct; that is, covered by automated testing.”

Generally, ‘provably correct’ implies formal proofs e.g. ‘formal reasoning’, rather than test coverage.

See: https://coq.inria.fr/

”Coq is a formal proof management system. It provides a formal language to write mathematical definitions, executable algorithms and theorems together with an environment for semi-interactive development of machine-checked proofs. Typical applications include the certification of properties of programming languages (e.g. the CompCert compiler certification project, the Verified Software Toolchain for verification of C programs, or the Iris framework for concurrent separation logic), the formalization of mathematics (e.g. the full formalization of the Feit-Thompson theorem, or homotopy type theory), and teaching.”

Wait, what? You... start your car in neutral? Like... with the clutch out? I have never actually tried that. I will have to experiment next time I am in my car.

On the other hand my 1990 Honda motorcycle must be in neutral to start (there is no clutch position switch) and I don't use the clutch there. Very handy because people love to sit on it for selfies when I park it and they tend to jam it into gear while crawling on it. I assume it is in neutral (I always park that way) and if I hit the starter in gear it would shoot across the street. Thinking about it I suppose that protects me from bumping the starter while riding as well.

If curing your obesity was as easy as getting a free shot, then yes, you should be deprioritized in the ER for obesity-related issues if you refused said shot.

The Opposing Shore by Julien Gracq - the writing is really beautiful. Like every sentence is poetic and the descriptions often these very original metaphors.

I read him for the first time immediately before the pandemic with A Balcony In the Forest, which is also great.
A lot of people trade based on technical indicators and there's plenty of simple strategies based around moving averages that aren't complex.

In my hometown of Chicago, a lot of people used to be employed in the pits at the CBO market making. (Basically being around to take the opposite end of a trade and making small profits by selling/buying at better prices.) But those jobs were eliminated by HFTs. HFTs absolutely sucked up a ton of profits. All the traders I spoke to who had traded in the 80's, 90's and 00's said that trading got much much harder from the years 2005-2010.

Retail traders still have the ability to take speculative risk and buy/hold. It just takes a lot of time.
I will second this recommendation. Some books simply have it all.
With good intentions the DEA made it much harder for people to get prescriptions for opioids and greatly reduced diversion.

20 years ago it was much easier for people to get a prescription for painkillers and it’s also likely it wasn’t as prevalent an issue at that time. There were also plenty of stories of employees at medical facilities and pharmacies diverting large amount of pills undetected. There were bad doctors, pharmacies and completely fake facilities as well. The DEA cracked down on this greatly using a variety of tools and it’s arguably been extremely effective.

There are good reasons to think that the combination of cheap street drugs and expensive and harder to get prescription drugs is responsible for the rise in overdoses.

It seems most addicts go from something like Vicodin to Heroin is price and access.

Medicine and Big Pharma aren’t blameless, but bad policy is a major factor as far as I can tell.
I dont make $500 a month but in the next 5 years I hope to if not more. I make pottery, mugs, and bowls for fun.
