You do not get a new padlock that is even easier to defeat....

I doubt it. But there are good reasons to believe that I2P is actually quite a bit less secure than TOR.

While I have no idea about the Bible (tried to read it once despite being an atheist, but seriously, this thing is incomprehensible...), I have doubts that Marie Antoinnette was actually very smart. She belonged to a class that was given power without having to do anything for it. She may well have been a "sheep".

Yes, very much so. Benign insightful people very rarely seek power, the scum always does. Hence that state of the world we live in.

Indeed. I am pretty convinced the propaganda implying TOR had been broken serves mainly to drive people to less secure alternatives like I2P. Would not be the first time this happened. A while ago, "they: even succeeded in causing some jihadists to make the terminally stupid decision to roll their own ciphers. Of course, with that the NSA can actually break encryption itself.

Diving is a high-risk occupation. But small manned subs are also risky, exceedingly expensive and cannot do most things divers can. And there are not many, hence divers are used. A friend of mine is in submarine robotics, and the situation there may change the game eventually, but not anytime soon.

That happens when they never got challenged early enough. Personally, I am in the "high intelligence" group and I can well understood their problem. The way I dealt with this was to set myself challenges outside of school and to make sure that do not look down on others (well, except for the Dunning-Kruger sufferers). I also took school as a game where the goal was to get the highest possible grades with the least amount of work. That skill includes being able to recognize things that later get built upon and it has served me very well so far.

But I have seen several highly intelligent people that completely failed and started to look down on everybody, including people that were on their level or above. They then failed to learn things like sticking to a task for a longer time, planning things, dealing with things they had bad aptitude for, communicating with people, etc. The thing is that many highly intelligent people are "special needs" pupils that have a high risk of failing school education and general socialization unless competently helped. This is to the detriment of society as a whole, as these people will usually be highly productive later in life if properly cared for.

Indeed. People that go on to be actual good scientists and engineers are those that manage success in school, despite clearly seeing how dumbed-down and stupid the whole exercise is.

I use SVN, you insensitive clod!

The articles have turned to crap a long time ago. The discussions are pretty good sometimes, if you filter out the 70% posturing and/or clueless idiots.

Indeed. And you can focus so much on grit, that those with high intelligence get under the wheels. That is exceedingly bad for society as a whole.

If you have higher intelligence, then you can see how stupid or far too easy most of the things you are expected to lean in school are. You can also see how full off themselves many teachers are, while possessing mediocre to bad actual skills. Hence people with high intelligence have to overcome significant motivational issues in school. Of course for actual academic achievements (at university in a non-fluff subject), you need both higher intelligence and determination to be successful.
