Not true at all. Brain volume correlates with intelligence after stratifying by socioeconomic status, and the relationship can be seen by doing within-family comparisons.

Such a correlation is a very repeated finding in all sorts of data sets.

Maybe you could chase down some of the references at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroscience_and_intelligence#... .

One interesting fact I found on that page right now is that the correlation has also been found in Chimpanzees.

Hence my original post...

You're talking about people who work -- the homeless, well, the chronically homeless, are people who don't work.

The research I'm referring to, with intra-race comparisons, as I stated, would avoid the question of racial factors affecting or not affecting the results.

So your reply is a complete non sequitor.

It's not about housing. They can leave the west coast and live someplace cheaper.

I agree, maybe not the same way because instead of "helping" people, you could target much of addiction by arresting and hanging drug dealers.

But aside from that, getting these people help apparently requires forcing them into custody. I don't want the more functional people, or people parking their RVs in the wrong place, to get swept up in that.

If I were to make a system for taking homeless off the street, my idea would be:

1) Outlaw vagrancy, and arrest people for vagrancy, the crime specifically being living on the street instead of paying for their own upkeep, but the important part is...

2) They can get their freedom quickly by working some minimum wage job, provided by the city, like cleaning the highways or picking up trash, for a week. Then when they're released, they can still work that job, or they can get out of dodge.

This is a clumsy proposal and not fully thought through -- but there can be some mechanism that lets people who aren't totally deranged get themselves quickly released while directing the others to treatment.

An obvious criticism of this is, it's not hard to come up with counterfactuals. What if somebody is homeless with their family, and they get arrested for vagrancy. Now their kids are separated from them. Then what? What if they have a dog?

I've had the misfortune of living in the district of the Assemblywoman behind this and getting email updates elucidating her PTA mom worldview. She is making a perfect transition from Covid neuroticism to this control-other-peoples'-kids lawmaking.

I bet she picks her kids up from the bus stop every day.

Trinity was nothing compared to all the other atmospheric tests they performed in Nevada.

What is unbelievable is your theory of vestigial brain matter, which you just made up.

There is recent research into intra-race correlations.

You need to stop lying. First to yourself. Try having a factual basis for the words that you write.

So you're pretending there's a problem with the research instead of there actually being problems.

Have fun playing make believe.

But they are right, and you are wrong. Brain volume is positively correlated with intelligence in humans. In other species, larger brains as a proportion of body size is a sign of selection pressure for intelligence, in ways beyond just size.

A major reason is because homes became air conditioned.

Government agencies that serviced their own vehicles just ended up with a fleet of non-working vehicles. At least that was true for those for which the vehicle fleet was of secondary concern.

And for something like a police department, the efficiencies disappear with modern vehicles which need less maintenance.

There are unlimited resources.

They're not biased at all. People don't like them because they're accurate.

I didn't know they were still doing it! But it's disappointing that it doesn't have the optical drive.

But I see you can buy the English keyboard on eBay.

The trackpads are great (assuming new models are similar to past models), and the keyboards are IMO very good, but watch out for the squashed key dimensions on the SR and QR, and the Japanese layout.

Binance is a crypto exchange. Where's the scam?

It was announced in November 2020.

100%. I don't have the time to read the paper but online schema changes, with the ability to fail and abort the entire operation if one row is invalid, are basically the same problem as background index building.

If instead of using some generic K/V backend, it made use of specific FDB features, it might be even better. Conflict ranges and snapshot reads have been useful for me for some background index building designs, and atomic ops have their uses.

> Oh yes, it also has a Raft implementation, so if you want multi-cluster FDB with Raft-driven failover you could do that too (iirc, FDB doesn't have this out of the box).

I don't know what you mean by this. Multiple FDB clusters?

user_named's post is absolute nonsense.

"Elon thought he'd be able to wiggle out of it because he assumed the SEC would be the regulatory body he'd be up against"

Bullshit like this has no relation to reality whatsoever.

It's not a statement of opinion, it's a bitter resentful raving.

The parent's source is mind-reading.

That is completely irrelevant.

That was after the company collapsed.

I want to reiterate, I don't have specific knowledge, I am a retail end-user drawing conclusions from reading things like these assignment process documents:
