I'd like to post a substantive comment on this story, but my comments seem to disappear when I logout of my account - as if HackerNews has decided to prevent anyone from reading me except, well, me. Any advice?
These results can obscure as much as they reveal. The demographics of the US differ from European countries - the US has proportionally more students from lower scoring ethnic groups, as compared to most European…
This is one of my biggest pet peeves - you see something and ask "why the hell is it this way?" You even speculate about some possible solutions, but someone will chide you, condescendingly, that 'that's the way it is.'…

This post half implies that the points made have reached a consensus within the field, that unnamed scientists have come around to these views. That remains unproven. Notably absent from the paper's authors are any of…
Are you saying the solution is for Company B to regularly raise employee pay to market levels? Eg, at the conclusion of John Doe's first year, raise his salary 30%. If so, why do you think this doesn't happen? Because…

>most of the DOD is still on IE6, as an example that is something like 2 million daily users. Do you have any evidence for that? From what I've seen, which is admittedly not comprehensive, this is false.
Appreciating beauty is criminal. When will people learn?
To explain the issue further, tersely, at the risk of being downvoted, in America, the average score among blacks is a standard deviation lower than that of whites, on IQ tests, that is, 15 points. Given that IQ is…
Yes, this seems like a much more appropriate progression than imposing the credit-degree system on online education. A standardized test would assess the depth of one's knowledge, with proper validation and scoring to…
