- Comment on Anyone out there? 1 week ago:
Its going to be hard to get an objective answer with sampling bias this extreme. I think Lemmy is better than almost any other social media I’ve used just by virtue of being small and niche. It tends to attract people who are intelligent, but also groups in people who are abrasive or confrontational since they got banned from other platforms, especially Reddit.

Also cutting education now has no effect for about 25 years or so. Their short term brainrot is so bad they would abolish education entirely in a heart beat and coast on those miniscule savings for a few decades until the world rips itself apart…
Also, my pet conspiracy is they all know the world is going to devolve into chaos due to global heating and climate destabilization anyways so why should they care about education when its not going to produce anything worthwhile when the chaos hits…

- Comment on Ancient Historians v. Modern Historians 2 weeks ago:
We’ve uncovered less than 1% of the Assyrian/Babylonian tablets that are thought to exist. Theresa a lot of stuff out there that’s well preserved thankfully even if we haven’t uncovered it yet.
Whats cool is cuneiform could be written phonetically so a Babylonian scribe could write down any language even if they don’t understand it. They apparently could also write at the speed a person speaks so they acted like stenographers in court or executive assistants for rich merchants or elites.
- Comment on Racism Pushed Jason Arday to the Top of the News Agenda 3 weeks ago:
I think that’s reasonable but someone like Arady should never ever have been in that position to begin with which is my main point. Is it the village idiot’s fault for being the village idiot? Or is it the university’s fault for making the village idiot the Dean?
- Comment on Racism Pushed Jason Arday to the Top of the News Agenda 3 weeks ago:
This is why it’s not Ardays fault but the people who are responsible for verifying the background of the person they hired, and maintaining academic integrity. He should never have been in that position to begin with if they had even bothered to do their jobs right.

- Comment on Would hammering websites on black Friday actually cost companies money? 3 weeks ago:
The one exception to this is CC validity checks. You can generate random card numbers, expiry dates, and security codes that pass the computational checks unherent to those numbers for all credit cards. Then the CC company charges like $0.03 per lookup or something. I’ve seen it used against scammers who don’t know what they’re doing where you spam thousands of tries per second until they shut the site down.

I guess I was referencing the original 2016 study by Borghans, Golsteyn, Heckman & Humphries that’s since been replicated and refuted. You’re right that it’s not settled academically right now so we don’t know for sure.

- Comment on Painful to recover from 4 weeks ago:
Intelligence is actually slightly negatively correlated with success my a lot of metrics (earnings, years of life, health) and the best predictors are general big 5 attributes like openness to experience, low neuroticism, high conscientiousness (hard working), and extraversion. Those characteristics are way better predictors of life success.

Oh MyAnonaMouse which is a cozy family friendly (they’re deadly serious about that.

- Comment on Plug-In Solar Panels Are Starting to Sprout in U.S. Backyards |Ten U.S. states have legalized systems that can be plugged into standard wall outlets. The technology typically does not require permits 5 weeks ago:
I wonder how this works. Maybe it only functions when it detects the wall has 120V power? If it backfed during a power outage it would be like plugging a generator into your house with a cheater cord (never, ever do that) which can step your generators 120V back up into 12-25kV through your local transformer and zap the linesman working to fix your outage on the neutral (a generator backfeeds onto the neutral not the “hot” sides of the circuit. I.e. the “safe” wire suddenly has thousands of volts on it)
