About 45% of a child's IQ can be explained by genetics,
That makes no sense. I think what you are trying to say (or missing) is that 45% of the variation within a particular group is hereditary. The actual number depends on which group you are looking at.
Now when are they going to ban this one weird trick that almost broke the Internet among all the other forms of idiot bait.
I see you are using Adblock Plus. Go into the settings and disable the whitelist of people who paid them (such as Taboola). If you are using no adblock, you are the sort of people they are baiting.
I agree with all of that. Yet still, the car crashed into the trailer. And I think we we see more incidents. Better design could avoid it with very little extra manufacturing cost.
That's nice, but is the effect as great as nutrition, both pre and post-natal?
The answer entirely depends on what cohort / population you are looking at. The question is "what part of the observed variation is associated with a particular factor?" In a poor undeveloped country with a homogenous population and widespread malnutrition, early nutrition may be the primary factor in intelligence. In developed countries, the effect of variation in nutrition is much smaller. And in a multi-racial society, the variation due to genetics is much greater. Similarly in India with the caste system, you get greater genetic variation.
I thought these things had all sorts of avoidance built in?
It has conventional parking sensors, but thats not good enough. This incident shows a clear design fault: - normal parking sensors are low down, because their job is to detect things he driver cannot see. - this Tesla ran into a high trailer with its windscreen.
CLEARLY- any sort of autonomous driving like this needs a camera or other sensors for the full front of the car, not just ones designed to supplement human vision. Surely its not that hard?
I find it rather interesting that among asians most of these math competitions are Chinese participation, while Koreans, Japanese...have considerably less representation.
Affluence. The Ashkenazi Jews have an even higher bell-curve, and greater numbers in the US. Like the Koreans and Japanese, todays parents grew up to comfortable to devote the necessary hours to win a childs maths/spelling bee. China still has countless millions in poverty, and the grandparents remember millions dying of starvation. That's a good motivator.
Just how much energy has been wasted mining bitcoins over the years. This guy, and anyone that uses Bitcoin, is a drain on society and resources.
You could say exactly the same thing about gold. And more: the countless lives that have been lost digging gold out of the ground, only to have most of it sit in vaults. At least we don't have mine collapses and typhoid epidemics in the bit-coin mining camps.
I can just imagine the kangaroos jumping in the fresh Austrian snow...
We do have snow in Australia, and ski fields, contrary to popular opinion. OK, they are pretty crap compared to Austria, France, Canada, or even New Zealand.
There is another theory that says any parallel universe that could destroy itself or cause a paradox, is not a possible universe.
You are confused. Its perfectly possibly to destroy the universe, or at least the earth, its just not possible to observe it because we will all be dead. So all we could ever observe would have been the LHC failing in increasingly improbable ways. This of course requires a multiverse, but that's the only sensible interpretation of quantum mechanics.
Marie Antoinette reportedly said, 'Qu'ils mangent la brioche.'... they should use alternate sources, in this case, the highly refined (cake) flour that was being saved off for herself and her family.
Nonsense. While Marie Antoinette never said anything of the sort, the phrase was maliciously attributed to her and others, to make her appear out of touch.
And its the eggs and butter that make cake, or brioche, not the grade of flour.
Wooosh! Why is it that most of the really dumb people post as AC? Is it too hard to log in? I'm not complaining, just makes it easy to filter them . I'm only seeing it this time because I have mod points and looking for smart AC posts - but its a challenge.

Couldn't it also be that those traits are linked to certain racial groups? Those of European descent for example might be more likely...
That is so obvious, that I'm amazed the researchers did not think of it. Oh wait ...
TFA:
To study how this is linked to genetics, the team looked at the genomes of nearly 300,000 individuals of white, European descent ...

Also, Netflix runs ads for its own content before shows and after shows.
On what platform? Is it recent? I have not seen that.

Eh. I expect she didn't KNOW it was math and assumed it was Arabbic,
I heard he was writing Arabic numerals, and a message to Al Jabr.
Better at least, a fake war to keep the masses in fear and in line than a real war.
Are they the ones that said replacing the steering-wheel airbag with a big shiny steel spike could cause a dramatic drop in road accidents?
But no gadget has brought as many click-throughs to a dying publisher as the iPhone.
Agreed. It would be so much easier and cheaper to buy land elsewhere, and move the Emirates.

this isn't a US court - it lives somewhere closer to reality than that.
Its Austria! Who do you think invented the term "Kangaroo Court"?
Enough of the evil North-South dichotomy. Three billion people live in the tropics, where summer and winter do not exist.

If developed countries like Australia and Singapore are malaria-free, I don't see how a warmer Europe should have a problem.

The summary should briefly explain what "Live TV" means, for the benefit of younger slashdot readers.
Its one of those things like fax machines, that should not exist any more, but some people still use it from habit.
