"The Bell Curve" also talks about the Idiocracy premise.

I know the premise of this book is different, but they do touch on the fact that siblings usually have the same level of intelligence.

This is a very controversial book. Any thoughts anyone would like to share?

I'll give my 2 cents as a male.

Touching someone's butt or invading personal space without permission is wrong.

I never dated a girl from work, but if I was interested in someone, I'll wait for the girl to initiate the encounter. Why?

Now it seems that even trying to flirt could be interpreted as harassing.

I wonder if it will end up like that eventually. Women will be the ones to pursue the encounter because males will be too afraid of crossing a line

This was mentioned in the last meeting held by Biden with the North America group. The Mexican president said that the imports from China should be reduced as much as possible in order to stop China becoming more powerful that it already is. Mexico at least in the mid/near future is a safe bet in terms of supply chain risk.

Does it really measure IQ? Memorizing the most common algorithms and data structures will eventually land you a good job if you try several times.

For example: Binary search Tree traversals Graph searches Sort algorithms Interesting Trees(Trie, RedBlack, etc) Etc many other common data structures or algorithms

If you memorize the implementation of those. You only need to make sure you understood the problem and check for edge cases.

What I have seen is that a lot of people struggle in the interview because they lose a lot of time trying to implement the algorithms but sometimes know how to get there

I hope that someday a billionaire could donate a few hundred million to a product like this so we can finally have a true Linux phone that can compete with android and Linux.

What about finding 1 million nerds like me that would like to donate 100 to a crowdfunding campaign just to the software side of the phone?.

I wonder how often these "hacks" are just an engineer leaking the info.

I wonder if the limitation is power. Can a fingerprint scanner be powered by NFC?

OTOH in my specific use case, I only use the NFC with my phone, the USB-C version should take care of that

I strongly disagree. If I made a mistake while driving a car that results in a crash, without a seat belt I could be responsible for the death of one or more individuals which could have been prevented if they were wearing a seat belt

It is in an attached file. In my case the file is named

"Profitability 28388 .htm"

I just got one like this 5 minutes ago. They are getting clever i saw that they are embedding this.

onload="document.location.replace(window.atob('aHR0cHM6Ly9ibG9jay1jaGFpbi1ib3gudGsvbXpwaWwvP3RldHRoa3Yg'));"

Which if you decode you get a strange domain.

I assume gmail only looks for urls which in this case is not visible without decoding it

If you already have an Amex card from your country of origin, Amex will get you one based on the score of your country of origin, or at least that is what I had heard

Prime video does not allow you to see the platform outside your country of residence. You can change your account origin if you migrated to another country. Although this will limit people using it while they travel, it will reduce a lot of people from doing this because they will need to have access to an account outside of their country of residence

My bad, I was thinking in permutations but those does not allow repeated entries. It make sense now, like you said the difference is negligible.

Is sharing you password length wise? Knowing the # of chars you have reduced the number of iterations needed to complete a brute force attack.

255! vs 255! / (255 - 30)!

My math could be off though, i haven't work with factorials since i was in the university

Could the gov take over the production and then simply choke cartel profits?. They could make some small profit out of it to fund addiction health rehab programs. I'm just trying to find a different approach because the current war against them doesn't seem to be working.

Off-topic, but I wonder if decriminalizing all drugs will kill the cartel profits. From what I can see, they make a ton of profit due to the illegality(risk-profit) and this big profit is how they became so powerful. Food for thought I guess.

I agree, i was going to order one but 16GB is not enough for me. I guess i'll wait until 32 is available.

What about https://blockstack.org/? With this approach you own the data

This is awesome! thank you for sharing it. I was looking for something like this.

Wouldnt prices of the grid go down as well? The grid could switch to a storage model too. Making it not that attractive to deal with all the maintenance.

I wonder how feasible it will be for duckduckgo to release a desktop program that will store all our searches and do some machine learning "magic" locally. We would get custom made searches and privacy as well.

this is so true, you can have a very good quality life in Mexico or south america for less than it cost you to be in US. Working remotely has become a very handy way to make money. Although i wonder how big can you be without having a headquartes? Just rely only on skype, email to handle a team.

Infinity its not measurable point, just like infinity/infinity is not equal to 1. So we could say that both are equally far/closer from infinity or at least impossible to state that.

infinity1 - 10 = infinity infinity2 - 5 = infinity infinity1/ infinity2 = infinity

Nice i'll attempt something similar in a month to play/learn with clusters on linux. Btw is the server handling php or any other language. Are you hosting this like in your house? how much bandwith do you have?

i think linux doesnt save the image in the clipboard after you pushed the button, in ubuntu however a dialog is displayed after pushing the button that allow you to copy the screenshot to the clipboard, but this tool is specially designed for this purpose. AFAIK this wont work out of the box in linux :(

Because the relation weight/power its outstanding. well i don't think using solar could help at all,because it will make the robot heavier and it will need a big area in order to power up the robot which for this type of robots its not possible i think, and also unless solar cells improve their energy efficiency this doesnt sound possible yet.

Very good idea this solve one of the biggest problems of this type of robots. However currently flying time rates are too short, so we need more power in order to use them in practical applications.i hope the graphene super capacitors can deliver that boost in power that can overcome this issue.
