"It's still mostly heritable" -- this statement is confusing to me. If we aren't sure what we're talking about in the first place, how are we sure "it" is heritable?

Pleasure vs. satisfaction. Grinding is not pleasurable (in fact quite frustrating at times), but the satisfaction of completing the challenge may be more sustainable as a source of happiness.

He might be of the opinion that IQ != intelligence, or that IQ is a bad measurement of intelligence.

I have literally zero of those issues, so I'm curious why our experiences are so far apart... From my perspective, it's the best run communication platform on the Internet, bar none. If that's my view, then why do you have s

You can make it completely impossible for a server (or people) to notify you in any way whatsoever through settings. That's one of the positive features that keeps streamers and communities using it -- you can't bother people who

Poorly and bad refer to the inability to accurately assess outcomes objectively and accurately in a way that identifies predictors for future outcomes. In other words, the techniques praised in lesswrong writings dress up what is effectivel

The laptop could be Hunter's, that doesn't mean the reported content was.

Accusations shouldn't be the relevant metric -- everything and anything gets "accusations" of all kinds if popular enough.

One is a technology change, the other is a culture change. The former is infinitely easier than the latter, in my opinion/experience.

I think you can sue the individual, based on my reading of Section 230, but I'm no lawyer. I don't see how that explains why it's "abuse" for a company to selectively remove content from their website, however.

Poorly, because hindsight is hard, I just would skip the steps related to hiding my biases behind overly precise numbers.

Can you help me understand why selectively removing content from a privately owned website is considered "abuse"?

I've treated lesswrong as a way to still make terrible choices, just by expressing bias in more complex thinking, which hides it better and makes us feel batter when we still experience the same outcomes.

I think the goal was to minimize the impact of news without adequate sourcing on the US presidential election, and I think that goal was achieved. The conversation is about censorship and truth, not really Hunter Biden and Burisma. Admit

What's the typical advice here? Something about writing down 100 ideas, diving into detail on your favorite 20, actually build a working prototype for 10 of them, and 2 or 3 will stand out, so pick one of those? I read that somewhere,

Is this really how I'm supposed to operate in the world of technology and computer science? The negativity is a shame, I wish it weren't part and parcel of participating in the greater developer community.

Optimistically, we could flip this on its head and say that a marker of privilege will be driving an ICE vehicle. It'll become enthusiast-driven rather than necessity.

FWIW I'm also conditioned to ignore emails that are vague. Honestly, at this point I assume any unsolicited communication is a spear phishing attempt until proven otherwise.

I've always thought converting an LLC to a C-Corp is either not possible or prohibitively expensive, even for a growing startup. Is that the case? Also Nevada? That's new to me!

Removing news is a solution that screams privilege though, isn't it? If I'm a DREAMer, or a woman who works for a private company, or a person recently laid off due to COVID, I kind of need to follow along to help me understand ho

I see a Tony Robbins book listed here. I know very little about him, and find it hard to get a dispassionate description about who he is, what he does, and why I should/shouldn't get to know his work better.

I know television and film popularize this kind of thing, but how often are people actually murdered and dismembered for financial reasons??? Same question around murder-for-hire generally, as well as specifically "someone in power&qu

Not qualified, but do have a question: The word "cofounder" here is used to describe what, exactly? If the company exists already, and is providing service, my "layperson" definition of "cofounder" would be ha

Divvy by Mizage. A simple app for sizing windows on macOS. Bought it ~7 years ago (I think), and it's so ingrained in how I use my computer, I don't even remember to install it. Honestly, it should be a built-in feature of macOS

Good. Cost is low to make these changes, even if they have "little real impact" (a common complaint), they're worth making to demonstrate exactly how arbitrary language is to change. Ten years from now no one will even remem
