Ah, just the right time to publish about numpy - right when everyone is moving over to Julia because of numpy's warts.

> Using a PCA to prove an intrinsic point
A what point?
> You're aware the vectors in a PCA are just linear combinations of the observed features, right?
Yes, I am. Do you have a reason to think that means PCA is bad at representing similarity and kinship because of this?
As for the Slate Star Codex source - that wasn't to prove anything, just to define the "weak man" term. I would have used "straw man", but then you'd dig up some idiot that genuinely believes whatever it is you're debunking as proof that it's not a straw man.

I suggest you read up on the definition of "distance" and "similarity" before drinking the PCA kool-aid. You don't get to define an ad hoc distance just because it fits your ideas about ethnicity. But then, I only have the popgen community to back me up on this. What do you have?

SSC, providing ammunition to online HBD proponents since 2013.
It has been 21 years since people asked to have SRV DNS resource record support in Mozilla.
Now my opinion may seem controversial but I personally believe having feature requests that are old enough to legally drink is not a sign of healthy project management
There's as many developers working on it now as there were when it was a part of Mozilla.
Are they still paid by Mozilla, though?
Is this the longest time between request/bug and fix?

16 years and still pending! All bets are off for this dark horse
How is the Thunderbird development speed nowadays?
Pretty moribund. They got dropped by Mozilla so it's entirely community-driven, and there's only so many things you need to add to an email client, unless you want it to turn into emacs or something.
That said it's a damn good product that's damn good at what it does.

Just in case people don't know, although the name sounds French I've literally never seen one in France. I guess it's like Mexico's Taco Bell or something
