App not recommended for Canadians. Unless someone makes a 'touch snow' plugin.

yssrnjm | 4 years ago | on: IQ decline and Piaget: Does the rot start at the top? [pdf]
I don't know about this article. I read a sentence that suggested that immigration might be linked to dysgenic effects on IQ. I refuse therefore to give attention to this document for the simple reason that it might be used by racist people to justify bad things... I am an immigrant. I refuse to consider views that might, even indirectly, question my presence on this country.
yssrnjm | 4 years ago | on: Abolish Yale
There's nothing brave in the "This thing wrong, abolish it!" social justice rhetoric. We've been hearing this for the last 20 years and it has become meaningless.
If we've raised a generation that thinks that abolishing something will always do good, then we've done a terrible job for the next generations.

I wish I could answer your comment, but I really had trouble reading half your sentences. Please work out your punctuation please.
yssrnjm | 4 years ago | on: Ask HN: Is discrimination to promote diversity okay?
If both get a "1" on the table, then can you please the explain the comparison you made to reach that conclusion (that they're both equal)?
I'm just confused as to how diversity relates to the competence of an individual/team.
I am myself considered a "minority", which I have always felt quite patronizing (let alone the fact that it's incoherent: I'm a North African arab, the US Census considers me white but Canada considers me Arab...). The last thing I want is for my achievements to be seen through the lens of Race than for what they are.

I have been told to disagree with this post. Therefore I disagree with this post.
yssrnjm | 4 years ago | on: Show HN: A simple lazy Python calculation engine, with spreadsheet demo
This is really interesting because I was working recently on a way to have complete spreadsheets using only CSV files. The project is in my Github (https://github.com/yassirnajmaoui/runcsv and https://github.com/yassirnajmaoui/runcsv-gui)
The only (major) thing is that the cells are run in top-bottom left-right instead of running a graph like this repo suggests.
yssrnjm | 7 years ago | on: Ask HN: How can I increase my attention span?
You can try to avoid cellphone before going to bed as it really changes how you will wake up.
What I will also try in the future is more Article reading and less Youtube for News
