congrats on being an unempathetic ubermensch. I'm sure that's worth a lot.

that kind of thing is a collosal mistake in my opinion - just on the face of it I/o at compile time seems very wrong.

>i look forward to the day when people just stop trying to correlate everything both positive and negative to race, gender, age, and any other attribute other than "are you a good person" and "can you do this job well"

completely abstracted of the rest of history maybe that'd be possible. the problem is that black people in antebellum south were prevented from learning to read. so really it went something like: let's not teach black to read and then require literacy in order to vote.

>oh well. requiring literacy for something as important as an election is not obstructionist, IMHO

i would gladly wager that an overwhelming majority of voters don't read more than 10,000 words about any given election and get most of their data from television/radio/speech. so tell me why literacy is of paramount importance?

maybe mvp isn't there right word. we have demos we've developed locally and we're going to start pilots.

cited research aside this is asinine. let's pretend we could regress "did smile" on "genetics" and "culture" and inspected the coefficients of the covariates (i.e. investigate treatment effect). we would find that the effect of culture was much much much stronger than genetics.

this doesn't really mean anything? you would find similarly high iq people around anyone with the power and the money to acquire them.
