This is going to get so destroyed but HFT strategies. A million already come to mind.

I agree with your point. :-) Why is my solution incorrect, though? * Oh, I see why my solution is wrong. It's never the case that one person has all the money. I should take some of my own advice.

You're right. I'm an idiot. Glad I got that sorted out, though.

Yeah, I don't think the muder rate in the US vs. the UK actually exhibits that. I was just pointing out that it's not okay to say "the unconditional rate of murder in A is greater than the unconditional rate of murder in B, t

What if the DNC did some really not okay things? Nah, you're right, we shouldn't know about them because the DNC wouldn't want that... Of course I wouldn't like you to have all my personal data. But the point of an ele

Why does this have a negative twist? Is it not a good thing that voters were more informed of the darker sides of the DNC and the Democratic party before voting?

by gragas 9y ago
So it's better to hide the truth from voters if that means voters knowing the truth is in Russia's interest? How is being more informed a bad thing?

I think newtem0's point is exactly the opposite: regardless of how hard you work or how determined you are, your maximum intelligence comes down to genetics, which is something that you can't change currently.

by gragas 9y ago
You're correct, but you're missing his point. The point is that genes do determine maximum intelligence---certain people simply cannot be as smart as certain other people, regardless of how good their environment is to them.

I got too caught up in the wording of your first post. I agree completely.

I agree. People who shoot down science because it's racist/sexist/etc. are shooting down the truth. People who make overreaching claims are just as detrimental. I think intelligence is very largely genetic. Claiming its &quot

His people are using Russian mediums of communication. Banning them is like denying reality. Perhaps Poroshenko is engaged in a war against Russia, but clearly a lot of his people are not.

by gragas 9y ago
Oh yeah, Poroshenko doesn't want to rid Ukraine of all Russians and Russian culture, yet he bans all Russian social media? You're the one spreading propaganda.
