And don't get me started on xenophobia or the place of woman in society. Exactly. Moving to Switzerland is only a reasonable option if you (and your family) are white.

Oh, shit. I confused Larry Ellison with Scott McNealy. Carry on.

Genuine question, what was so bad about Larry Ellison?

That doesn't matter unless they operated all nodes in the routing chain.

If said model only predicted whether it will rain or not. But not really. You pulled those numbers out of the air, and they aren't very descriptive. Will someone with a 140 IQ fair better academically and economically than someone with

Again, no one is arguing that IQ is meaningless. It is less meaningful the closer you are to the middle of the Bell Curve though. And it is not an end-all measurement of human intelligence. https://www.independent.co.uk/new

Sure, because what did society do before IQ tests? Surely because they've been around for that long, they must be flawless. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/iq-tests-are-fund... “It has always seem

No one is arguing that IQ is invalid. It is not the be-all-end-all metric of intelligence and success, nor is it as accurate as people make it out to be. It measures a narrow spectrum of intelligence.

Says you. But in reality what you're claiming as undeniable truth is actually debatable, and there are plenty of studies to the contrary.

It's strongly correlated with outcomes in life and better than any psychological test we have. Your IQ is correlated with your parents' IQ. But so is your social status, physical appearance and wealth. IQ is not independently re

Unless you are an outlier on either side of the spectrum (e.g. 80 or 150), IQ isn't very indicative of anything. And why would anyone believe it should be? Do you really think a test with a relatively small set of questions, written by

Yet another PR story from Lambda School spun as news on HN. Fake news.

Don't forget Slack and HipChat.

by codesushi42 7y ago
Your whole post is one long and droning denial. I didn't have to go back a year to find an example. That's just what HN gave me the fastest. There are plenty of examples. Maybe you should try looking harder yourself. HN has a prob

That was never shown, it is you who are stretching what can reasonably be claimed with basically no evidence supporting such nonsense. None of what you said was in the original source. Stretching the truth like this is lying, whether you li

This is entirely true if you check the account. And my posts were downvoted multiple times within seconds, which seems obvious... To the mods: potty mouths aren't the problem on HN, the spreading of fake news is.

I guess you missed the bit about false equivalency. The US government is not the same as the CCP, as much as you'd like to fantasize it is. Maybe you would have repeated the same line if Disney was making cartoons for the Soviets or Na

Now you're getting all touchy feely instead of looking at the data. Which is why this paper and most of the comments in this thread reek of falsities and unfounded bias. Which is the norm here now. Hi dang.

I am overjoyed. Because now a truly open and decentralized solution has a chance instead.

Sounds like a FAANG.

Huh? What do your acquaintances do then for 8 hours, sleep?

by codesushi42 7y ago
I guess. But I bet the work environment was terrible. Why waste time? Life is too short, pull the trigger and leave. If you can.

Why is this better than Google's?

Even so, surely the revenue numbers were shared internally at some point. After which, anyone who could would have run for the hills.

People like easy money. Anyone with ambition, opportunity, talent and foresight would likely have left We after a month and never looked back.

At that point, you may as well implement your own server in C++ using epoll.

I am even more baffled that 1500 engineers accepted an offer at a company that's clearly a fraud. And it would have taken one Google search about their prospective employer to have seen this. If you work at or did work at We, what was

If that is the case, why aren't major cities in China, or other major Asian cities like Singapore bastions of crime? Hint: they aren't. They are in fact some of the safest places in the world, and on average have air pollution lev
