I have to comment that thoses studies and VW example you've given were conducted in an environment where relative success is an ultimate goal and, more importantly, success is defined as material well-being.
Please imagine society where material well being is not a most important part of life. The outcome would be different.
Russians weren't that far behind. I am mostly posting because of the "cold war asset" reason for secrecy.

During the War, Russians made wood artillery base mockup. Germans dutyfully bombed that mockup using... wooden bombs!
After learning that germans know about mockery, headquarters decided to place real artillery there and brought fire to germans from unexpected direction.
Just one of many episodes from our War.
Divide your image into blocks of 16x16 and all of sudden (local) transposition is much faster.
I agree.
I once worked with a man who wrote a parallelizing compiler of (subset of) Fortran in his 70s. In two weeks.
They are heritable just like heritability of, say, home or fortune. Home the children live in is not influenced by genes, but is still heritable.
More than that, fellows pointed that what they consider TypeScript are XML files from Qt projects, where layout and everything reside.
This study is flawed albeit flattering to my view.
You realize that you are disccussing means to get to communism, do you?
The slogan of Communism.
Very weird to see that at Slashdot if you ask me.
Russian railroads employed such bracelets for at least ten years, I squeezed hand of one of developers behind those watches.
Here's video, in Russian, sorry.
The sensor measures electrical resistance of skin and system as a whole can infer several important vital and mental characteristics.
Strict consistency does not conflict with high availability: deterministic approach to DBs.

Stanislav Lem put it earlier and much nicer.
It also explains the need for the speed of light.
The moment inheritance works is when spermatozoon meets egg. This is a single moment in whole life of the individual.
Everything else is nurture.
As for "presumable less intelligent", cro-magnons had brains bigger than contemporary humans, they possible were more intelligent than us. The difference here is that we use more results of applied (through centuries and millenniums) intelligence.
I would like to see that constitution, actually.
I think you are mistaken.
If we define marriage as a bond between man and weterosexual guys are no more legible to enter marriage than homosexual guys. So there is no discrimination at all.
So by this logic, do you think it would be ok to ban marriage for black people?
I, for example, cannot work for CIA. I am Russian. I am OK with that, even understanding that such work would create many opportunities for me. But to drive my point, I'd like to ask you to stop your jihad on ban to gay marriage and fight for my right to work as the top officer of CIA and NSA.
Please, I beg you!
Ah, I see.
I think that marriage is a bond between man and women just by definition of it. So I see at least one reason to ban marriage between gay people.
Call it differently, I (and many others) will have no reason to oppose. Like, for example, civil union. E.g., marriage assumes civil union, but civil union can be between gay people, triples, teams of eight and so on.
As there is mostly heterosexual couples in the world, I think we have very valid reason to call this very common case of civil union by using special term. Let's use the term marriage. I think that provides you with the reason to stick with this term for this specific case and other terms for other cases.
Government discriminates people from top to bottom for various reasons, from age to the gender, to the wealth to the height. I do not see the reason to discriminate gay people in their discrimination by government.
