cazalla: mike_c, actually a lot more is missing.. on bitcoin-otc i've received 19 ratings (WoT Browser shows 15) and sent 25 on bitcoin-otc (WoT Browser shows 16), these are old ones which i assume should've been included in the snapshot
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo jesus christ the deluge of verbiage from these people. that two line call-out in #bitcoin-dev has produced almost a million lines of derpage, on irc, on reddit, on personal blogs, everywhere.
mircea_popescu: if this isn't disarray i have nfi what is. these people don't even have a forum, a venue where to discuss their shit.
mircea_popescu: cazalla i missed ratings i made after gribble went down, on gribble's wot. like for instance the phantomcircuit one i discovered missing yest, was made in february.
cazalla: these are older than that, ratings made in 2014

cazalla: but if you were a pedo, it would make for a great cloak to guise yourself in
decimation: cazalla, regarding nurture, it seems to me that the 'sure thing' is teaching skills like reading, languages, manual skills, etc
mircea_popescu: decimation how did you exclude "divine blessing" from your formula ?
cazalla: decimation, i'd include proper food (i prepare nearly all the meals for my son) and some adversity, too many kids being nurtured to death these days
decimation: "divine blessing" has nothing to do with worldly outcomes
decimation: cazalla: agreed, kids need to figure stuff out themselves
mircea_popescu: if you do that, what's to impede funkenstain from excluding genetics consideration from "wordly outcomes" ?
mircea_popescu: after all, genetics is a statistical approach, you're discussing individuals.
decimation: absolutely. still, one would have to explain the twins studies
mircea_popescu: point remains, it's at best strange to be trying to split percents when you've not even produced a rigurous set of factors.
decimation: how can anything involving humanity be split into factors? it's all a wag
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 26778 @ 0.00025272 = 6.7673 BTC [-]
mircea_popescu: then at most you can say is, nurture 2x as important as nature. youcan't say 66%/33%
decimation: agreed, that's a more precise wording. "Nature seems to have a stronger effect than nurture in a variety of situations"
mircea_popescu: anyway, for the sake of bothering you, let me propose an equivalent model.
mircea_popescu: so : suppose we're looking at a recipient of defined gas, and each molecule's "iq" is its kinetic momentum.
mircea_popescu: so... is type or circumstance more impactful in the iq of a given molecule ?
mircea_popescu: 2) if the recipient is full of identical molecules... you STILL get normal distribution of "IQ"
mircea_popescu: the flagon full of hydrogen is a very boring Africa of "IQ" because it never produces the fun looking lasers other compositions produce.
decimation: little can be said, until one encounters another defined gas with a different mean
mircea_popescu: (clearly, mixing all the gases together into multigasualism is the solution!"
mircea_popescu: (also clearly, chlorine's refusal to miscegenate with oxigen is racism!)
decimation: even socialist professors admit that people generally 'have worse outcomes' in a situation where they are surrounded by other humans unlike themselves
mircea_popescu: in short : the complexities involved in this matter are properly wovon
mircea_popescu: heh, i have been surrounded by humans unlike myself my entire life.
decimation: the best one can do is try to find 'natural experiments' like twins, but I'm sure with enough study of the details there one could find plenty of subtle 'unlikenesses' between supposedly identical twins
mircea_popescu: for that matter - all brothers are mithocondrial twins.

(that code was in the wild because after the nth breach, amir taaki of bitcoin consultancy fame "open sourced" it by releasing it without rights)
jordandotdev: yeah HQ is in HK, and they're domiciled in HK, Taiwan, and British Antilles?
pete_dushenski: jordandotdev: so if they're 'distributed' why did you move to hk ? why not stay stateside (where i presume you're from ?)
jordandotdev: I was just just consulting on some internal projects
jordandotdev: but that job didn't end up working out - and I wasn't getting enough other work with Bitfinex to support myself there
