How do they control for environmental influence and correlations between environments and particular genes? Can someone elaborate on the "new statistical methods" briefly mentioned in the article.

As you've described it, the consumer's "win" is determined by Amazon's competitors. Every private advantage Amazon has serves to undercut the profits a competitor would need to develop their own productivity gains. Those are the gains that would actually show up for consumers. How are they winning?

It can't be both? Isn't that the least comforting? Not that it proves anything; People often believe what they fear is true. All you need to know is that MKUltra existed. The people responsible were never brought to justice. Maybe some of you have loose morals but I could never join this shit.

It's not like it was before. JIT engines made the situation more complicated. The security problems are hard.

My business is not your business. Privacy is not a business asset. It's a fundamental human need. Please ignore this comment though. I'm apparently a bot. I wonder how I ended up like that...

Define useful. Sounds like actionable. I have nothing like that. Do you know what adversity is? Shit-wit.

Angry? I think someone told someone how to solve that problem. I'm not angry. Get over it.

That's only true if they're actually politicians and not tortured hostages.

I remapped my keys like this:

    CAPS-LOCK ⬅ CONTROL ⬅ ESCAPE ⬅ CAPS-LOCK

Escape is just too far away for my vim-flow. This has been much better. It's mostly positive outside of vim too. The only real gotcha is using another machine.

> one of Donald Trump's campaign promises is to put Edward Snowden to death.

That is heartbreaking. Thank you for informing me. Whoever we elect, this absolutely cannot happen.

He has also suggested, "going after their families" as a strategy to combat terrorism. Can we elect someone, to stand over the world, who has made such statements? We really need a third option. A quote from some wise-guy somewhere [0]: "315 to 320 million people; this is the best two that we can come up with?"

My notion of these people (developmental and increasingly genetic) is that they exist as the scar tissue of humanity. I fear this new propaganda will only leave more scars than the old.

Psychopaths have the ability to not feel other people's pain. Super important distinction. Unless you're just hate-mongering. In which case sure, they're as good a scapegoat as any.

> Heck, the U.S. government has behaved so outrageously over the last decade that U.S. citizens are likely to blame their own government when drone strikes happen on U.S. soil!

Nah. We respect Hanlon's Dodge. Our government is a tool of the shadow government. It's a dirty mark on Americans just like the Jihad is a dirty mark on Muslims. Balkanize all the things!
