IQ is a funny scale. Many people with high IQs are not very intelligent. A simple example is when talking about "common sense". There are many forms of intelligence that IQ cannot measure and all forms of intelligence compound with each other. IQ is correlated enough with intelligence that if you're too far below 100 that you are definitely less intelligent, but not far above 100 is pretty much moot.
A vegan diet works fine assuming you get everything you need. Eating some iceburg lettuce and broccoli isn't enough. Like you said "wide variety", an extremely wide variety is required. You say "powerful athletes", but by what definition? Many top performing athletes need to eat junk food just to get the required caloretic intake. It is literally impossible to eat enough vegan food to sustain the energy needs of a training athlete. It can be hard to eat 5,000+ calories of vegan food per day. You'll rupture your stomach.
Good programmers don't write bad code, they write less good code. Code quality is always relative to the problem at hand. If the problem is a complex mess, the code cannot be any better than the situation necessitates.
I can't purchase a non-VoIP landline around here. Everything is over fiber, copper is almost completely gutted out. Then I would need to pay to have it installed. Apartments don't have RJ11 already ran anymore. Typical rental agreements includes paying out of pocket if you want one installed, but they won't stop you.
Companies like Netflix make their Devs responsible for deployments. Netflix can have tens to hundreds of live deployments to production every day throughout the day. If your project crashes and burns, you get called in the middle of the night. On the other hand, the Devs treat the infrastructure like a cloud resource. It's very simple for them to deploy, rollback, do partial roll-outs to a subset of customers, get useful immediate feedback, and can support multiple versions of the same microservice.
Devs that don't know how their product works in production are useless at best and dangerous at worst. The fact anything works is by pure luck. DevOps. Putting the responsibility and power in the Dev's hands.
What DevOps was supposed to be was the leave the system administration to the admins and let the Dev teams maintain their product. Ops should not be burdened with directly supporting Dev's products. If something goes wrong, Devs should fix it. Ops should make tools that allow Devs to deploy their production code in a safe way.
In other words, Ops manage the infrastructure and tools, and devs manage their applications on the infrastructure using the tools ops gave them. This becomes important as the number of products is constantly changing. Ops can't keep up with managing some dev's web app for them.
They don't need control of your computer, just to do a cross-site attack and have your already established session to play.google.com to issue some web requests to remotely install malware on your phone.
Google has a bunch of failure safeties, but they're opt in. A fall back is it can send an SMS to my phone, or my wife's phone, or I can use one of my 20 one time use printed off keys that I store somewhere.
Call it virtual 2 Factor Auth. Still is a second factor, but one should never communicate the second factor, it should be something you ALREADY have, not something you're about to have.
However, during the past 22 years, satellite measurements, widely hailed since the 1970s as far more accurate than surface measurements, have shown no statistical warming.
Quite the bold faced lie. Trolling or actually a nutter? Run the numbers yourself from this random blog on the Internet!
You have been warned repeatedly that [your] Internet connection is insecure and that you should not use it. Therefore, if you still have the Internet and you get compromised because of it, you only have yourself to blame.
We need to get rid of dependencies before we can get rid of them. Not everyone wants to browses the Internet with Lynx.
You should do a bit of reading from the past decade. The whole discussion about the Universe inflating has been driven by the fact that we can see galaxies that are moving away from us nearly 3x the speed of light. This is why the observable Universe is only 13.8 billion years old but is about 90 billion light years across.
You effectively just said "Dark Matter" as soon as you said "something new". Dark Matter is a place holder for something new . It could be a new force, it could be new matter, or could be anything that we don't already know about because everything we know about will not work.
Remember how the polar ice caps are supposed to be gone by now, snow is done, etc. etc.?
The North Pole has shrunk enough to open up some water that hasn't been opened in tens of thousands of years. Now they're running fiber from London to Japan over the cap to shave off some tens of milliseconds. And the North Pole is 45% gone. Not too far off of the prediction of 100%. Just a factor of 2.
You have a warped definition of programming. Programming has almost nothing to do with coding. The bulk of programming is identifying issues and solving them. Coding is the brain-dead easy part. If someone has already solved the issue, you're not programming, you're playing Bob the Builder with legos.
The day this happens is the day Humans become obsolete. In order for an AI to solve a problem, it must first fully understand the problem. If it can understand arbitrary problems without first being programmed, you now have a singularity. If an AI still needs to have problems described to it, then it still has to be programmed. The typical person can't describe problems. Hell, the typical programmer can't either. This is why programming talent is distributed in a power curve.
"Programmers" who are told what to do will be replaced.
While I don't actively participate in Reddit, it seems to be a large enough community to have stalker trolls. Being a troll is one thing, but if you stalk someone, you've targeted someone.
What "we" call black holes also includes "grey holes". We're just talking about something denser than a neutron star and gives off almost no light of its own.
Nope. Most of the observable Universe is so far away, it will never interact with us again. It's so far away that it's moving away from us faster than light.
"Maybe Relativity is completely wrong and can't predict anything at all" - This is you. without Dark Matter, Relativity is horribly broken, along with almost every other part of physics that we hold dear. Of course if you want to ditch everything we think is correct and create a whole new type of physics, go for it.
DM has been sopped passing through matter also. Unless you know of a way for a blackhole to pass through a large gas cloud and not disturb anything. DM is diffusely distributed, blackholes are concentrated.
Ignoring that BHs mostly blow what they "suck in" away with their jets, anything not really close to the BH will be pushed away. The reason most super massive blackholes are almost an exact small percentage, not a random small percentage, of their host galaxy is because they can only pull in so much mass.

we should be constantly aware that 50% of our users are literally below average (by definition, not because we think they're "morons".)
50% are below the median. 80% are below average.
