Did that user just delete their comments or is this a new antispam/censorship feature of the forum software?

I've recently become interested in where science and politics meet, and this is one subject I've been researching. Dr. Richard Haier is not named on the Wikipedia page on "Race and intelligence"[0] which claims "Currently, there is no non-circumstantial evidence that these differences in test scores have a genetic component, although some researchers believe that the existing circumstantial evidence makes it plausible that hard evidence for a genetic component will eventually appear." in the first paragraph.

It might just be that I have to do more research, but my impression from the research that I've encountered (especially the twin studies) is that G (general intelligence, which IQ is designed to be strongly correlated with) is strongly correlated with genetics, and even influenced by genetics to a greater degree than by the environment; the Wikipedia (but Wikipedia in general as well) article[0] appears highly politically motivated to me. It at least greatly conflicts with the contents of this interview.

One argument on this subject that I feel is persuasive is this: "Why have African societies been much less developed technologically and intellectually (e.g. in writing, language) than Western societies for over 3000 years? Can you blame 3000 years on oppression? Furthermore, if you say the cause was oppression, why did those races let themselves be oppressed if they were equally capable?"

The video description for your pleasure:

There is almost nothing more important to understand about people than intelligence. It can be measured more accurately than anything else in the social sciences. It differs tremendously and importantly between individuals. It is the single most important determinant of life success. It's very existence, however, remains subject to substantive debate, most of it highly politicized.

Dr. Richard Haier[1,2] has recently written a major book on the topic, The Neuroscience of Intelligence[3], summarized in the following manner: "This book introduces new and provocative neuroscience research that advances our understanding of intelligence and the brain. Compelling evidence shows that genetics plays a more important role than environment as intelligence develops from childhood, and that intelligence test scores correspond strongly to specific features of the brain assessed with neuroimaging. In understandable language, Richard J. Haier explains cutting-edge techniques based on genetics, DNA, and imaging of brain connectivity and function. He dispels common misconceptions, such as the belief that IQ tests are biased or meaningless, and debunks simple interventions alleged to increase intelligence. "

Seriously though, bring me evidence, please. I hear this circulated a lot but I don't know if there's something there or if it's pravda.

I'm not joining the Church of Anti-Zionism but I'm more than willing to believe actual evidence. I lost the mainstream belief that Jews are such oppressed pure little angels when I read about the history of Israel.

"Communism needs one more try"

Anyone wants to take a figurative stab at who or what's behind this movement?

I'm hoping to some day keep my own animals, to find out how the sausage gets made. I want to face the reality behind the sterile, bloodless chicken fillet I eat, and my apathy to animals.

Perhaps that will convince me to stop eating meat. Meanwhile I have bigger worries.

It's a dangerous job, it doesn't earn much, most people have better options and then there's the decline in societal appreciation of manliness, so I understand no one wants this job. No perks at all, not even bragging rights.

Perhaps it even is safer to join the military nowadays?

Living in a simulation suits me fine right now ;)

That's why you build separate bike lanes. It works fine for the Netherlands, but it does require a large investment in bicycle infrastructure.

Are there torrents or similar available of SciHub's collection?

Nice, on FF I get a white page because Google domains lurk in my hosts file. I suppose I'm not your target audience.

And propping up the grades of compliant students.

Isn't it the other way around?

I can prove I had today's papers today, but once I've seen it I can prove it any day. So you can say "this information existed at day X or earlier".

There's also the issue of proving the content you hashed actually came from the place you say it came from. To me it seems that would require proofs of authenticity, by the source itself; not something that's easy to come by.

Definitely, sites and content become inaccessible all the time.

For instance, I back up all new videos of my favorite YouTubers in case they are taken down (e.g. in the case of a copyright claim).

Does using AMP automatically license Google to redistribute your content, or are they basically pirating?

Maybe his reply came from the future?

(It's also still 2042 for me.)

Shadowsocks has you covered :)

I can't really envision Facebook or Google removing all EU-only language options and doing away with targeted advertisements, so how come you think these criteria won't work?

That's how you end up in hosts files.

Besides, filter lists move pretty fast and are usually self-update.

Hold on, your country has separate pension ages for each gender?

Small price to pay for having dominated the OS market for decades, by forcing OEM's to always only ship their OS...

"Supposedly"

Thanks for that one, I didn't put those together before.

C programmers are a lot cheaper than capable reverse engineers, though.

Whoooh, enter OSP (On Site Purchases)!

Press OK to pay $.50 to read this WSJ article!

None of the machines available to me worked with the previous release, I guess it's time to try again for the x64 subset...

How do you define "patriarchal" in the context of that sentence?

It's vendor-agnostic? And CF is super slow and limited to a small number of resources (not sure if it's a 100 or a 1000).

If you smoke anything in parts, it's well worth it to learn to purge. It's a cigar trick, you basically slowly blow through the cigar for a few seconds and it improves the taste and slows the burn for a while.

It might just be the placebo effect that makes it taste better after, but who cares?

Unless you use -o/--only-matching, that works fine for binaries!

Privileged users usually have BIOS access. BIOS's are often designed to be configurable/flashable with vendor-specific tools that your run on top of your OS.
