Suicidal ideation is a risk for many CNS drugs, and not unique to Prozac as far as I know. But yes this is a major risk factor that needs to be taken in account before such kind of treatments.

if IQ tests are designed by people with lower IQ what does it say about high IQ scores?

Why would it say anything? The 100 meter dash wasn’t designed by the fastest 100 meter runner, but it’s still perfectly capable of identifying a winner.

Sure, but setting questions you theoretically need a certain threshold of ability in pattern recognition to pass without actually having that ability feels like trying to design a 100m dash whilst not really knowing what a sprint or a metre is. You might end up selecting for outlying distance runners instead...

Sure, but that’s not how IQ tests are designed, nor what IQ is. Most people understand the concept of intelligence, regardless of their IQ score. The methodology of IQ testing doesn’t require having a question that only the “smartest” person in the world can understand in order to identify that person. Many of the metrics are based on speed, they are literally a race similar to 100m dash. Another metric is working memory, which is easily understood by someone without a good working memory. Take a closer look at the metrics and methodology of modern IQ tests, and it might become more clear why the parent’s question is a bit hyperbolic and/or naïve. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wechsler_Adult_Intelligence_Sc...

Bad analogies are bad analogies. Intelligence is much more complex than running.

Hehehe you got the first part right. Human running requires intelligence, I don’t know how to separate those or evaluate their complexity, and I bet you don’t either. So do you know anything about how IQ tests work? You know they’re timed, right?

Part of the test is the speed at which you get the answers.

So while one may not be able to solve the entire suite of questions within 10 minutes, we can know that someone who can is smarter than someone who can't.

Debatable since foreign powers were clearly trying to grab influence thru the funding of communist parties in western countries

because cloudfare protection blah blah, until cloudfare is down itself and then you are back to "who watches the watchmen"

That's easy, the watchmen watchmen watch the watchmen.

Cloudfare completely breaking the internet...

> This is the same demographic which Sony and Microsoft are selling to.

Steam has nowhere near the same name recognition as Playstation or Xbox in the general public.

Their audience is Steam users primarily. There are millions of them and all they need to do is market it on Steam. And as Valve had said (and shown with their hardware survey), the vast majority of users have shitty PC's. People keep mentioning in these comments "oh who is this for? I just built a gaming PC with an RX 9070". Good for you. Then you don't need it. However, there are millions of Steam users who do not have a 9070.

Which means what exactly?

Inserting a random factoid does not make a sentence have a point.

Which means that you can "target" all that you want, if you don't have the dozens of millions of USD of advertising budget that your competitors have, you don't really stand a chance against the incumbents.

Steam has a larger user base than the PSN. It is not like Valve is some unknown company unheard of in Gaming circles.

Valve also does not need to advertise to the general public, the general public is not their demographic.

Nobody prevents game devs to sell on their own website with 0% tax. Curiously, they choose to go on the market with 30% tax.

This is because of network effects, which cause a monopoly-like situation. It's mentioned in the Wikipedia article on economic rent cited above.

I think the thing people are complaining about is that the game devs are prevented from selling on steam and also cheaper on another store.

Basically a useless document.

Companies like Flock and Clearview have set up gigantic dragnets in the US.

I'm not happy with everything the EU does, but to call it useless is to be ignorant of the rest of the world.

It's perfectly sufficient to have laws against that sort of thing. As governments are above the law (in that they can just add new laws that say they can do whatever they want), you need something else. A bill of rights is such a something else.

Valve did not write Linux from scratch or something...

Which means expensive
