  • Broke: The results of IQ testing are dependent on a person's intelligence. Intelligence is an objective reality that can be observed and measured with IQ testing.

    Woke: The results of IQ testing are independent of a person's intelligence. Intelligence is an objective reality but complex and impossible to perfectly measure.

    Bespoke: A person's 'intelligence' is dependent on the results of IQ testing. Intelligence is a social construct and IQ testing is a means to reinforce that construct.

  • Also the impact risk corridor passes through states that are poorly equipped for large civil defence operations: Ethiopia and the CAR are in civil wars, Yemen is in a civil war with the majority of the country under the control of an unrecognized government, and the South Sudanese government is quite week—being at peace only for the last 5 years

  • Author-date systems create line noise that makes text hard to grok. Numeric systems (with or without footnotes) don't have that problem. Honestly I don't see the point of author-date. If a a paper is really important then it should be referenced in prose, otherwise "(Kowalchuck et al., 2018)" doesn't tell you anything more than "[11]"; you're still gonna need to look it up in the bibliography. And that looking up is actually made harder: finding [11] between [10] and [12] is easier than finding Kowalchuk between Kowal and Kowalski or whatever other names happen to be there.

  • what's more sciency: the cycle that controls the majority of ocean ecosystems and one that even hobbyist aquarium keepers need to learn, or the niche one with potash?

  • I'm a firm bug centrist—non-hemipterans can be bugs but they have to be from a terrestrial lineage.

  • I don't really see the point of deveining. It doesn't change the flavour and the digestive tract is entirely safe to eat

  • Most species grow to half a millimetre. So they're just barely visible to the naked eye; like a small spec of dust.

  • The act gives the president discretion in order to determine if something is a "foreign adversary controlled application", not just if a certain state or entity is a "foreign adversary". So blanket bans on companies from certain countries is certainly a possibility but not guaranteed.
