It can help to view more specific attributes of intelligence to make comparisons. An easy one, when comparing carnivores/omnivores: how many species can they hunt? Many predators specialize, eating only a single other species. Giant Pacific octopuses have a wide diet. Humans are at the top, though. By a longshot.

How about math? There are other species that understand addition and subtraction, I think, but none that can do multiplication or division.

Thank you, this is great. I have sort of given up and started to practice leetcode in my free time. But would prefer to stop wasting my time on useless riddles.

I also hate take home projects, as they cost company nothing but I end up spending way too much time on these projects.

Ideally, I would prefer if companies did conversational interviews like how other professionals are hired. None of my non-tech friends have to constantly demonstrate that they have skills to do their jobs.

The best (or at least, most successful) answer to this has come through federation. Platform owners are allowed to create and moderate their own groups with their own distinct rules and regulation. From there, each group decides which of the other groups it would like to interact with, as well as ones that it would like to ignore. The result is a system where everyone can live happily; 4chan trolls can federate with 4chan trolls, mainstream instances can block objectionable content, and people who want to use both can freely make accounts for either group. The result is a pretty good balance of freedom with highly-moderated content, even highly sensitive groups have had a pretty good experience using this tactic, since if all else fails the group can defederate from everyone else and choose only to interact with other group members, or selectively federate with other groups that share their same values.
> Not investments.

The idea that there's any viable technical reasoning behind TSLA trading as high as it is, or behind what happened with GME and AMC last year is simply fanciful. It's like you've never seen an IPO pump and dump. It's literally the exact same market behavior you saw with ICOs; side-note: it's even worsened now with the advent of SPACs.

Yeah, you can argue until the cows come home that "equities are positive-sum instruments where you purchase a fractional ownership stake in a business," but that doesn't mean that hedge funds won't treat them as speculative instruments, particularly around earnings calls. Or that hedge funds won't try to spin the narrative to justify their risky positions (e.g.: the short squeeze on GME).

Again, just to reiterate: the markets are almost completely decoupled from labor (for better or for worse). It's all speculation (to certain degrees).

Getting a basic (entry level) commercial pilot’s license requires 1500 hrs.

What I mean by the ‘cream of the crop’ is you have to be more experienced and pass far greater hurdles (including a far more demanding medical exam) than any GA pilots need to, just to be licensed to try to get hired as a commercial pilot.

It doesn’t mean there aren’t great GA pilots out there - there are! It just means that only the top x percent of GA pilots could pass the requirements to be a commercial pilot.

Average income is 68k, average home price is 408k...

According to a google search on how much can a person afford for a home at 60k... you get this:

> The usual rule of thumb is that you can afford a mortgage two to 2.5 times your annual income. That's a $120,000 to $150,000 mortgage at $60,000.

Can you please tell me how one gets homes at these rates? Because I don't see any available, not here in Utah which isn't even a huge COL state... or anywhere else..

Edit..so to afford the AVERAGE home in America you'd need at least 163k per year annual salary.
I think this is valid in many cases. A decent sysadmin in the US is (speculating) 200K USD, a good one in Europe is 120K+ euro. You have cheaper but they probably can't explaint a UDP datagram or know how ECMP over BGP works. It's the understanding of all of the underling tech which make them worth there weight in gold.

There are plenty of zksnark based crypto solutions out there that are both private and environmentally friendly. Bitcoin uses a particularly nasty and wasteful consensus algorithm that just happened to have first-mover advantage enough to become a major contributor to world carbon emissions. It'll eventually go away and be replaced with one of the alternatives that doesn't require the same energy burn.

For €400/mo all in, split between my friend and I, I've got an air-conditioned office at the local business park with the back room stuffed with ~10 servers, redundant internet links with BGP announcements of our /24 so failover is transparent, and all of that is 10 minutes walk from home. Granted, the setup is more than a bit YOLO; the servers are in two piles rather than a proper rack and the fiber to the servers is just flapping in the breeze from the AC, but we've been able to fix literally everything that went wrong except for a power outage ~a year ago when somebody got a bit overzealous with a backhoe within 30 minutes.

The main difference between what we've got and a proper setup is on the order of about €5k of fixed costs, all of which have a lifespan of ~decades. The savings from owning your own hardware might shock you.

Also, if you think that the "professional" hosts do any better, consider that that Hetzner box you linked is a desktop machine shoved onto a rack shelf.
But it's not some americanised rights issue, you can still just install whatever you want outside of the App Store. It's not like I'm installing Sublime Text or stuff from JetBrains from the store or something like that.

Not really. What is decentralized about your parents knowing everything about you, and still being privacy-respecting?

Perhaps you meant anonymity implies decentralized, which is debatable too.

This is categorically untrue. Matrix’s E2EE is between clients; homeservers can not see plaintext in encrypted rooms, and all private rooms are encrypted by default these days.

Why this limitation?
Your idea is interesting (if not practical) because it opens up some weird questions, like: what if Second Life were a life simulator for some people, but a FPS zombie shooter for other people? Or: what if Fortnite became a dating app, like Instagram has over time?

Your PoC at least proves that you don't actually need cooperation between developers to achieve something. You just need a compatibility layer.

> Signal does not have any metadata except account creation and last-seen timestamps

I hate the way Signal sells it, like there is zero trust involved and everything is solved by some magic encryption. There is a lot of data the Signal could store, like who is receiving the group message you just send to, that is only guaranteed by their server's source in Github (they could be hosting another thing and you will never know). That said, Signal is still much superior in terms of metadata protection, like the sealed sender feature for direct messages which will take time to arrive in Matrix [1]. I just wished they were more transparent about what they can't store and what they can store but is not storing.

[1] https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/issues/2318
No, all they can provide to law enforcement is the time that you created your account, and the last time you connected to Signal's servers. That's it.

Many cultures have a long, ingrained history of making suicidal people's lives intentionally worse as a misguided attempt to discourage suicides. A book that discusses this phenomenon that I found helpful was Al Alvarez' book "The Savage God"; Alvarez was a friend of Sylvia Path, who felt compelled to explore the issue in terms of the narratives we tell ourselves and each other about it.

In Western Christian countries, there are recorded cases of people who attempted suicide unsuccessfully being brought before the court, convicted, and sentenced to death by hanging. Reality here seems more like an extremely dark monty python sketch.

Some Western cultures also buried victims of suicide at public crossroads, a little like the bodies of murderers would be intentionally made spectacles. One view of this an explicit attempt to make it harder for their spirits to find their eternal resting places.

I cannot recall if it was in Alvarez' book where I learned it, but in my research I gathered that among some Iwi (Maori tribes) there was a culture of burying members who had killed themselves just outside the walls of their Marae (Meeting-house grounds), where their resting places would be trampled over as a sign of disrespect and societal rejection.

Even today, we see something of this view in institutions like universities etc, whose response to suicidal issues is often one that makes that persons life harder, eg communicating to a suicidal student that any further attempt on their life will result in them being expelled from their study program. I feel like for people on the receiving end, the 'message' being communicated here is one of rejection, and the threat of humiliation following any subsequent unsuccessful attempt.
In practical terms, what does being unlisted on the app store really get you?

If you were worried about someone accidentally stumbling across your internal app… ask a hobbyist iOS game developer how many people stumble across the app they’re actively trying to promote.

If the possibility of people outside your organization having access to an app at all is not acceptable, this doesn’t solve that as there is no mechanism to stop the link from being shared outside.

Everything else is the same; same submission and review process, same distribution channel. As best I can tell, all this does is change the visibility of your app from 0.01 to 0.005.

Once you learn them, there is nothing to think about; that's the beauty. It's muscle memory - I swear (I haven't tested with an EKG) that the signal doesn't enter my conciousness, like an old violinist playing.
> Are you saying nobody worked as hard as them?

I think very few bands since have worked as hard as the Beatles. Their 2 years in Hamburg playing long hours in night clubs daily is something few bands can do (or would want to), and that forged them into something special (not just in technical musicmanship). The Beatles never shied from putting in the work.
STart a co-op? If you can get 200 people to buy land, and build tiny homesteads and a warehouse for shared goods (tools, ATVS, RVs, etc) you cut back on consumerism, help the environment, AND you take renters out of the rental market. All of a sudden holding onto a rental property doesn't seem so much fun when there's nobody wanting to live there because they can live in our beautiful mountain eco-village for $300/month, and get a real community that's more like a family and supports one another.
There wasn’t one thing we can trace serfdom to. The system we usually envision is a product of Charles Martel but before him there were serfs all the way back into the Roman Empire. It was more a natural evolution/long term trend of the Roman economy away from “slave based” labor.
I believe both this and the microprocessor article ultimately derive from this gem, http://www2.biology.ualberta.ca/locke.hp/dougandbill.htm ("hand tying experiments")

for the record, neither geneticists, molecular biologists, nor biochemists, have the techniques to reverse engineer biology at the holistic level. That task was left to the biophysicists who combined a collection of techniques to uncover the inner workings of a wide range of biological processes (ribosome, motor proteins, neuron function, the structural basis of DNA replication...)

I made my comment in light of my recent education about how the government actually functions, specifically its criminal justice system. On the spectrum of outcomes this is actually pretty good, considering the alternatives. Countless men are wrongfully convicted, spend their entire lives in prison, and are eventually exonerated.

Black-Scholes still is a dumb pricing model, I feel like an options pricing model should factor in the liquidity of the underlying asset and Black-Scholes and other pricing methods I have seen do not.

Facebook page unpublished with no warning
On or about December 26th, a Facebook page that I run for our band called Wonder Bread 5, was unpublished without any warning. The only notification I received, was in the drop-down menu for notifications in Facebook.

We have been a band for over 25 years now, and have used our Facebook page to promote our band, spending thousands on paid adds regularly to direct fans to our concerts, and to engage with our audience since 2009 or longer. Our Facebook page is https://www.facebook.com/WeAreWB5/ although I can still login and see the page, no one on the other side of Facebook can see it. Thus being unpublished. After about a week there was a notice on the front page that read, "Wonder Bread 5 goes against Facebook's community standards". Under this was a question asking if I agreed or disagreed with this decision. I disagreed with this decision as I don't understand why the Facebook page was unpublished or what we have done to go against Facebook's community standards.

After a few weeks of logging in, a new message popped up. I still get "Wonder Bread 5 goes against our community standards". When I try to post, it says "Your account is restricted right now. You have been temporarily blocked from performing this action." So I wonder if this is a short temporary thing, or a long temporary thing that will be drawn out over months? My thought maybe, was to go in and try to delete most everything in hopes whatever I delete is what is being flagged. Does anyone have any insight into that, or thoughts as to what may be being flagged?

To my knowledge, we have been in compliance with the rules and regulations of Facebook. The page has never been banned or put in "Facebook jail". When I go into the violations section of our page, Facebook says "you have no violations, thank you for keeping Facebook a safe place". If it is a copyright problem, we have been in touch with The Wonder Bread company lawyers and have been given permission to use the name "Wonder Bread 5" as long as we don't use the logo

Our business is really hurting because of this. We can't pay for ads to promote our concerts. We have 13k followers, losing them would be horrible

Any help would be very appreciated.
