+ is a map from N×N to N where a + 0 = a and a + S(b) = S(a + b) (S is the successor function that gives the next number).
Then 1 + 1 = 1 + S(0) = S(1 + 0) = S(1) = 2.

Randall sounds exactly like I imagined

Ah, SSC. I was going to make a joke about how it'll get blamed on ~~black people~~ Human Biodiversity, but Scott actually does

And this is murder rate by state correlated with percent black population:

This would seem to support the “culture of violence” theory.

EDIT: I see that the “fediverse” link for posts has been removed.

It's still there, just not when the post/comment comes from the instance you're on. Even though the post is to a lemmy.ml community, it's from lemmy.world so that's where the fediverse link goes to.

I like in-person conferences. Online ones are okay for just giving/watching presentations, but you miss out on the random interactions with others in your field.

... oopsie, noted for next time. Sitting in the back feels arrogant to me somehow, but I also almost never take taxis.

For most of the world, especially in Europe, liberalism means/meant socially liberal, i.e. left wing

Wuh? In most of continental Europe, liberalism typically means classical liberalism, a right-wing ideology about laissez faire economy. The US has always been the odd one out in using it to mean socially liberal (see also the last paragraph here).

Right after this I spot the announcement post on my front page, in !protonprivacy@lemmy.world. I'm surprised just how positive the comments are.

... I refuse to accept that there's a Heathcliff comic that mentions rizz

I feel like saying "I have to do this before anything else" might very well end with me doing nothing
