So you basically had the same observation as I had in a totally different community. I'm not sure about your explanation though. Chinese people are not magical people. IQ is still distributed on a bell curve in China as well. If a chun

That's not the real difference though. Immigrants also have to restart from scratch. Everything in Canada is completely different from what we're used to in our countries of origin. Often, parents who were engineers in their home

Requirements for immigration is difficult and if everyone had to pass the same bar my family had to then it's almost guaranteed that most immigrants are well above average. Or put another way, the average of immigrants is probably high

I don't think I had much of an imposter syndrome at the time. I knew I was surrounded by many people who are way more smarter than me but I still thought I was well above average; at least for the first couple of years.

There's no reason to believe these are anything but PR stunts.

The whole thing reeks of "bigotry of low expectations". I didn't know affirmative action was a thing. Being a minority who entered/graduated University, I hate to think that I could possibly have been admitted into Unive

Consider the disaster that happened in Iraq when the US wanted to export democracy there. Or how the Arab Spring devolved into brutal civil wars. It's not tenable to pretend that western values can be separated from western culture and

Apple never challenged actual law. To quote the article: > [Timothy D. Cook] made clear that Apple would obey American law — but only after trying to shape the law. In the case of China here, the law was already passed. Apple is just con

Actually this much is quite reasonable. Unreasonable cultural relativism would be something like, pretending that child sacrifice is ok. There's no reason to believe that absolute privacy and absolute freedom are universal objective mo

I think for introverts, loneliness comes from the fact that you don't get to spend quality time with close friends, instead you're either all by yourself or surrounded by people you don't care about.

Please directly quote the specific rule/guideline you think I violated. There's no rule about "dismissing the experience of others".

The far left does not understand the difference between equality of opportunity and equality of outcome. I come from a middle eastern background and my first language is Arabic. Through out my career, I've never encountered any working

It's all about money. I belong to a group that has less money than your group, so your group has to give me money. If you don't give me money I will scream right now to make everyone here think you are sexually assaulting me.

OT but what I found most astonishing about this article it's how the author takes for granted that kids would be involved in drugs and games and other vices. Honestly, what kind of society is this? I would be scared to raise kids in a

You might as well have just said "How dare you disagree with my authority, you imbecile!" But even the vox article does not dispute that IQ is not distributed equally across populations. > Race differences in average IQ score

Did you even listen to Sam Harris's podcast with Charles Murray? I've seen this vox article before and I think it's a joke. EDIT: To clarify my GP comment, the point is that there are very good reasons to conclude that IQ is

> That there are about as many black men as white women (or less) in a given tech field is one example of this. The problem with your line of thinking is you are looking at the outcome as if it was evidence. The unspoken assumption is th

I have no idea what you're basing your comment on. My career started when I was 25* and it's only been getting better. I never once had to look over my shoulder for fear of younger fresher talent. Quite the opposite, in my experie

The problem is with people claiming discrimination exists solely based on the outcomes "very few women in STEM" without any evidence of actual discrimination existing.

It's completely possible to setup `pass` such that you can type `pass <name>` and it will print the password to stdout (you might has to pass an extra parameter or so) without ever asking the user to input anything to confirm the

I don't know if it's just me but I just find the graphic design here impressive. It's indistinguishable from modern/current design.

If it becomes standard, people would use it without a master password, and then stealing passwords via malicious scripts will become very easy.
