* Not all flowers rely on insects for pollination, or any pollinators at all. Many are wind-pollinated or self-pollinating (not that the basal lineage would be asexual).

* Insects do not necessarily rely on eyesight for pollination. Scent, for instance, is a strong attractant.

* Insects need only be driven by a search for food for pollination to work. There is no requirement that they have specialized adaptations for nectar-gathering. Elaborate floral structures that require these adaptations evolved over time, along with their pollinators.

* One common flaw in evolutionary/adaptive thinking is assuming that efficient solutions must be present from the outset of an adaptive trait. Incidental effects that provide only the slightest increase in fitness can easily be fixed in a population.

Most importantly, though, this is really an investigation about structure. This is a common theme in plant development; many plant structures are highly analogous. Understanding the basal state of floral structures informs studies one the gene regulatory networks that control plant shape. For some context, I'd take a look at the well-characterized MADS-box genes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABC_model_of_flower_developmen...
Except the "merits" are essentially "be a white man".

Even in an actual meritocracy (which we most definitely are not in), there are still human people who are the ones picking the criteria, and human people who are the ones evaluating others on those criteria. Human people, with all of their explicit and unconscious biases. And, to make it harder, there are many of those criteria that do not have objective measurements.

To me the bigger lesson here is that they have a prewritten reply (by a bot?) asking the feedback giver to e-mail it to somewhere else. How hard could it be to subscribe to the thread with their feedback e-mail? Asking people to do stuff is a bad idea, no one likes more work.

Thus it's not so much about this specific complaint about the volume control [1], but more about the systematic failure to collect user feedback.

I have a fair amount of free time each week that I could take on freelance work or part-time work. I've been doing full-stack work for the past 6 years, with Python and Django on the back-end and HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and jQuery on the front-end. I've also worked with the Django REST Framework and React.js. I'm intimately familiar with schema and data migrations, including migrations between Django projects. I've worked extensively with startups and with distributed teams and am open to occasional travel.

Price controls aren't part of Socialism. The welfare state isn't part of Socialism. High taxation isn't part of Socialism. Temporary nationalisation of private industry may be a part of Socialism. Forfeiture of private property (in the sense Proudhon and by extension Marx take it to be) is part of Socialism.

Unless you were saying something else which I have failed to understand. But UBI most certainly is not part of Socialist policy. It is social democratic policy (and this is not to be confused with democratic Socialist policy!)

So it turns out there's some nuance here. You can remount it multiple times, as long as you don't write to it, which I was familiar with. The moment you write again and don't explicitly remove the extra volume, you'll lose the ability to mount r/w, which is a pretty bad bug :(

There's no easy way to explain programming to the majority of kids that doesn't involve oversimplifying it.

There's simply: the group of kids who are curious about it, who want to learn about it, who are willing to go through the rigor to learn it and then there's the other kids who don't.

If a kid isn't interested then there's no amount of simplifying it that will make them get it.
The US criminal justice system focuses on punishment and not reform, "the box" on employment applications makes this patently obvious as does the removal of voting rights for felons. All of this stems from exactly what you mentioned, once convicted you are a criminal, that label follows you and there's little you can do to get rid of it.

The first step to improving any of this is changing deeply held beliefs by our society, and many days it feels like an impossible task.

Recently I found TimeTree (http://www.timetree.org/). The tool produces both timelines and timetrees (ancestry) of taxonomies. Both tools provide a nice context of the evolutionary environment. If you click through enough, you can usually get to the underlying research for the data as well.

Try searching for taxons Spermatophyta (seed plants) and Magnoliophyta (flowering plants) and to see the common ancestor of flowering plants.
Perhaps they tried all of those? Nothing wrong with innovation, especially for file systems. Plenty wrong with btrfs by the sound if it though.

In Canada, these corporations just don't deliver television content, they create it and own all the mediums of delivery. Many of those methods of delivery were once created by a Crown Corporation which was paid for originally through taxes and then privatized in times of need.

So basically, you control the media and you control the nation. There's restrictions around telecom providers entering new markets, and that plays to the businesses because it allows them opportunity to collude nationally.

They own the Cellular Networks, Radio Stations, Television Broadcasting, Internet Service Providers and Newspapers. The Sports Teams, The stadiums, Movie Production, Television Production, Home Security Monitoring and more!

They don't have much sympathy from the public; generally there's a hatred towards them but when you have no options you choose your preferred lesser evil. There's some choice out there but it's few and far between because they're as much a victim of attacks from the monopoly as the citizens. (See Barry Logan v.

It reduces these studies' power to detect results. If you thought you had 100 cases and 100 controls, it turns out perhaps you really had 30 cases and 100 controls, and 70 controls misclassified as cases. Power is going to be substantially hurt.
Hey that's not a half bad idea. One of the first things I do when I go to a new subreddit is check the top posts for month and year. I wish I could look at the top posts from the last 3 months sometime. If you had a service that just archived top posts month to month, removing duplicates then people could access that anytime. Don't know if I would charge for it initially but it's a cool service at least.
>For Venezuelans who remember ’89, the party system was the enemy, and Chávez was the hero, because things got better under him first of all. The price of oil went up. He started opening free clinics, and primary education, and universal health care, and subsidized food, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, but he acted as if there was enough money to sustain all this.

In fairness, he acted as if Venezuela wasn't going to become the bystander in a proxy fight between Saudi Arabia and US shale oil & renewable energy.

Venezuelan exports have always been largely oil based so whomever was in power, the plunge in oil price was going to cause disaster and a crisis of legitimacy.
Seems like he might really be going for 2020. This might be even more interesting than 2016 was.

China's laws might be bad but I am not sure how Americans benefit by not providing a service. If China wanted access to servers in USA then it will be a different story (which I believe US government is already doing through backdoors).

Let Chinese government hurt their own pace of innovation by putting politics before the market and let American stock market benefit from the access to such large market. It is going to be fun watching how it all unravels.

Canadians are not scared of their employment in the same way Americas are. With Healthcare and a good social safety net, he would be OK if he lost his job, and would be able to draw on enough social assistance until he finds another.

Obviously very far from ideal, though not nearly as dire as in the USA.

I don't know that it has anything to do with humanity or forgiveness.

When I want to get myself a puppy - I'd like one that is well behaved, not a puppy that's been returned for behavioural problems.

It's not because I'm less human or hold a grudge against a puppy that happens to bite people or whatever the case may be.

The idea of sympathetic employers is a naive way of looking at life. It'd make my day better if you paypaled me a thousand dollars right now. I know you have the means to do it - let's exercise that sympathy for strangers you'd like others to exhibit for some strange reason :)
Well, I think it's still worth pointing-out the evidence as some dismiss any mention of Ruby's decline. The puzzling factor is how Python seems to be on an upward trajectory given that the 2 languages are pretty similar. Maybe Ruby bet too heavily on Rails in the end.
That was essentially a demonstration plant. Note that it only ran for six years, only produced 1,926 kg of plutonium over its entire lifespan, and was shut down because producing plutonium from spent fuel from commercial power reactors proved to be uneconomic.

2000 kg of plutonium is a rounding error, given that well over 1 million kg of plutonium have been produced since WWII.

> Social construct. Look at Asian countries that by all accounts have less gender quality than the west but have more women science graduates. India is double the U.K. on that metric.

India has massive and pervasive poverty and tech especially is seen as a way out of poverty. Many programmers there earn 5x the average wage.

Comparing that to the UK where programmers are not paid particularly well compared to other professions is disingenuous.

Do you have companies asking you to do something that they expect will take a week? I've never heard of that in a job interview. That said, I have interviewed hundreds of candidates over the years, and my typical take-home request is something like "write this subset of checkers, spend at most 4 hours on it". I've seen other take-home tests where it seems like the expectation is 8-16 hours of work. But never 40 hours of work.

For you to be able to charge for your time, it needs to be that you're writing something useful to them, that they can use - e.g. temp work, spec work, whatever you call it. I've often toyed with that idea to see what the results would be, but never did that.

You should not expect to be paid for work that's not useful to the other party. If they have unreasonable expectations about the time you should spend on proving yourself to them, politely inform them of this; and if they don't change, move on.

It would be interesting to survey hiring companies and get a better idea of what the common and accepted practices are. It's on my to-do list.
While this is an interesting exercise, it ignores the fact that the anti-virus apps run with SYSTEM privileges for a reason: they need to access all the files on the machine.

Don't entertain the idea of working for free. Your time is valuable. You don't need to work for a company that does not respect your time.

If they want a demo of your work have them look at your Github. If they want more give them an estimate of the time required to write it and what your rate is. Don't let them get away with getting your work for free.

> How many kids looking forward to $130k/yr jobs would choose to join a gang instead?

I agree with the your overall comment, but this part is setting up unrealistic expectations. You should be asking "How many kids looking forward to $30k/yr jobs ..."

Median salary across the US is about $30k, or up to $50-70k (with corresponding cost of living) in a few rich cities. Anything above that is a good-paying job for most of the population, criminal record or not.

This distinction is not terribly meaningful especially for bronze age manual laborers. One could argue that slavery might have been better than getting paid for this kind of work. A slave is at least a nominal investment. A worker is infinitely replaceable.

Profits above all.
I think people forget that vc backed startups are profit and greed driven (like all free enterprises). We all like to drink the cool aid and think that a startup's purpose is societal impact but really they are engineered to make $$$.

As such, it makes sense that people pour millions of dollars to target the 1%. They've got a shitload of more money than the rest of the country. Seriously, if you've got an product that every rich person wants but that no other person cares about, you will have vcs knocking on your door. We need to think of vcs as building cash machines, not as the money behind "changing the world". Yes occasionally vcs fund companies like Google that have broader impact but that's not their primary aim.

If we want more people building ventures that impact society we need to either
* change the funding model
* build bootstrap ventures
* build non profit ventures
* ask the government to step in (a socialist approach)

A good example are institutions like the Gates foundation and WHO eradicating polio in the last few years. Yeah it's not sexy but organizations like that are making real societal impact.

>> Who was his lawyer? When did his lawyer arrive?

Personally, this is the part that really scares me. The majority of us Canadians do not have personal lawyers. If this happened to me, I'd be stuck trying to find a lawyer for the first time. I'm sure the thugs entering my home would seize my computers and phone immediately, and refuse to allow me to use them to look up and contact a lawyer. Due to the seizure, I'd be unable to find representation. What do you do at that point?
