Sorry, but that is only true for a narrow, archaic band of the term IQ. Though I admit that within that narrow interpretation, you’re right. But there have been many tests devised since then to attempt to address those concerns.

Every tests measures first and foremost how well one takes that test. There are many IQ tests with varying usefulness.

Gods, and I felt I was early. I used gopher pre-www, and definitely had interacted with computers by 88, but interacting with networking by that time was virtually unheard of outside of academic or defense settings.

Depends on the slope of the curve.

Pay that man his money.

Didn’t you hear. Habeas Corpus means the president has the power to deport whoever he wants.

for reference

No, people do it both ways and you’ll even find both techniques by the pros. But anybody claiming it makes them more even I really don’t think is thinking it through. By adding the extra cut across those natural layers, you’re actually making to very small bits when the crosscut is near the layer boundary.

That’s why I think it is not only easier but superior not to add the crosscut.

Chef Jean Pierre explains this here.

Yeah true. That’s actually a good point.

I don’t disagree with either of you but there is something ironic about what you said.

There isn’t one state that has all the nukes.

100% understood and agreed. I don’t want to defend the bad behavior. It is out there among questioners and in the experienced community alike. Just saying it is possible to find quality help there.

I see this hot take often, and it isn’t entirely without merit, but it is mitigated by moderation; in some Stack communities better than others. I’ve been an active member for many years, and in my view it goes like this.

If you contribute a question without reading the rules and How to Ask a Good Question, you don’t provide minimal reproducible steps with code, post images of code, etc. you may get flamed out of town. And that may feel bad and it may be mean if the questioner didn’t know to read those. But they are there for you.

If, however, you ask a thoughtful question, give examples, show what you’ve tried, etc. you definitely can get quality, courteous help.

Doesn’t change that video killed the radio star here. The show is over.

It’s good enough for me.

I agree, but I’d take it a step further and say we need legislation to far surpass the current conditions. For instance, I think it should be governments leading the charge in this field, as a matter of societal progress and national security.

What are you on about? What you said simply is not true. At least, I’ve not once heard an Apple user state they wanted to be told what they were allowed to use. You either believe that, which would be stupid, or you don’t which would be disingenuous. You pick.

It may be a scumbag company, or its users a cult, but that doesn’t stop what you said from being stupid.

I don’t disagree with any of that. I only take issue with the quoted statement.

People buying Apple products want to be told by Apple what’s allowed.

I get that this crowd generally thinks Apple is hellspawn, in spite of also having devices made by other, also shitty corporations, but this is just a dumb thing to say. They’re just devices. Yes some of us prefer them. I didn’t switch after every mainline Android phone from G1 through Nexus and Pixel because I wanted a paternal imposition of allowed apps. Stupid fucking comment.

These days you never know, but I’m hopeful you’re tongue is in your cheek.

I don’t know to what precisely they were referring, but the Trump administrations end of funding for PEPFAR is doing just that.
