The spacecraft’s orbit ranges from 43° north to 43° south, which rules out a descent over the UK but includes vast stretches of North and South America, China, the Middle East, Africa, Australia, parts of Europe – and great swaths of the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.

Sounds OK to me...

For Plomin, at least, the answer is already clear. He says polygenic scores for IQ will further reveal the role of intelligence in determining people’s salaries, their choice of partners, and even the structure of society. People will want to know.

Plomin says he’s writing a book, titled Blueprint, that he thinks is “going to piss a lot of people off” by arguing that DNA is the “major systematic force in making people who they are.”

O' shit - what happens if the results show certain populations are genetically disadvantaged when it comes to intelligence....

Very curious to see what happens when the book comes out....

Will also be interesting to see if there are any differences between the sexes.....my guess is not much difference except in outliers....e.g., more male Einsteins than female ones....could be wrong though.....

Public school rant

Kid was off for 6 1/2 school days for spring break. First day back today - next 1/2 day is Thursday.

I don't think the kid has gone to school 5 full days in a row this year.

SMH -
