If somebody talking about their disability triggers you into such a strong political reaction, then maybe consider the possibility that you have let your own identity politics take…

The license wasn't changed. But yes, generally you can make changes to MIT code that aren't released under the MIT license. > It's definitely the case that at a given snapshot of t…

I'm just curious, is Microsoft actually in violation of the MIT license here? All future changes to this repo are copyright Microsoft, so Microsoft's copyright should be in the sta…

Yes of course it's in dispute. It's so dominant a dispute in intelligence research that it's hard to imagine anyone being familiar with research on IQ and not knowing that it's in …

This is a very well studied field, just do a Google search

It's not sufficient that a metric be objective. The student's astrological sign is objective. But it's not a useful measure of college readiness. Standardized test scores do very l…

It's usually not obvious where to put the seams ahead of time so you can cut them when you need to split into microservices. Plus keeping the API boundaries clean costs time and re…

I'm sorry I've hurt your feelings.

> To be readable, usable. Go doesn't particularly value readability or usability. For example, the short variable name convention makes it harder to read code you're unfamiliar wit…

Haha, no problem. I do that a lot too :)

The US has a long history of letting murderers off the hook when there is a racial component[0]. With someone like Rittenhouse, who has become a darling of the white supremacy move…

> If people are willing to pay money for a service, that service is by definition valuable. This is only true if you define "value" to mean "people are willing to pay money for it.…

From the context, I think they were talking about discovery, not whether the books are available for purchase on Amazon. Personally I don't think I've ever become aware of an inter…

Ha sorry, I just realized you must have meant Watergate. I misread your original comment as saying it was about the current sitting president.

> We've already seen a sitting US president hire intelligence agents to bug his enemies and political rivals, Do you have a source for this claim?

> Essentially the government has built a surveillance state by outsourcing it to private enterprise. Well, yes, that's essentially the whole point of silicon valley. The government…

> The endless virtue signalling is so tiresome. And yet you felt the need to signal your tribe while trying to shut down someone's speech.

Is it possible that you're autistic? There are lots of online tests you can take. If so, it would explain why you have a hard time finding people to connect with. If you are, then …

The word "happiness" refers both to the temporary emotion and a long-term state of being satisfied with your life. Nowadays the long term state is often called "life satisfaction" …

Yes, that's true. If you project down to a linear relationship, more IQ is associated with more income. Most of the data you see on that stop around an IQ of 125, which is about th…

I find this to be an odd essay. It's trivially easy to come up with new ideas. Just take any existing idea and perturb in a random direction. With high probability it will be new. …
