How do they control for environmental influence and correlations between environments and particular genes? Can someone elaborate on the "new statistical methods" briefly mentioned in the article.

As you've described it, the consumer's "win" is determined by Amazon's competitors. Every private advantage Amazon has serves to undercut the profits a competitor would need to develop their own productivity gains.

It can't be both? Isn't that the least comforting? Not that it proves anything; People often believe what they fear is true. All you need to know is that MKUltra existed. The people responsible were never brought to justice. May

It's not like it was before. JIT engines made the situation more complicated. The security problems are hard .

My business is not your business. Privacy is not a business asset. It's a fundamental human need . Please ignore this comment though. I'm apparently a bot. I wonder how I ended up like that...

I remapped my keys like this: CAPS-LOCK ⬅ CONTROL ⬅ ESCAPE ⬅ CAPS-LOCK Escape is just too far away for my vim-flow. This has been much better. It's mostly positive outside of vim too. The only real gotcha is using another mach

My notion of these people (developmental and increasingly genetic) is that they exist as the scar tissue of humanity. I fear this new propaganda will only leave more scars than the old.

Psychopaths have the ability to not feel other people's pain. Super important distinction. Unless you're just hate-mongering. In which case sure, they're as good a scapegoat as any.

It is good to have a moment or two each day where I don't feel like I'm being watched. I do find myself unable to rest. Ever .

I would love a resource that related the various notions, expressions and idioms of society in the way that you just did. The sophistication of this association is well beyond anything machine learning can do. Except for maybe to crawl th

> I see more escapism through drugs. Escapism is a great way to expand your mind. If you didn't believe you could escape this why would you conceive of anything else? Millenials may be the most pathological generation in history;

Plenty of homeless people will waste it on cigarettes. I'm actually for it. These are precisely those people for which the currently rampant paternalism is NOT helping. It just further communicates that they are no longer worthy of b

I agree. Seems as if a service rep made silly mistake and likely got fired for the negative PR. :/

I suspect your notion of intelligence includes more than the quality itself. Humans are complex systems and exist inside much more complex systems. If intelligence were purely adaptive then there would be a lot more of it than there is. If

I suspect learning. Loneliness is ultimately not the signal we think it is. It's conditioned from other more fundamental signals. One such signal is the desire to learn. To become a better version of yourself. Sustained loneliness is

The problem is that we record everything . Then we use this information to determine who gets to do anything . No one wants to mess this up.

The ruffling seems to come from the term: universal grammar. Without a proper understanding the term can cause all sorts of misapprehensions. It sounds like a mandate; it makes people rebellious. Noam Chomsky specifically disavows any evo

Is there anything that can solve this other than what you've described? They will grow and push indefinitely. It's like mass surveillance. Encryption works. It can just be impossible. The truly terrible outcome is if "interne
