Uh, being fluid and “born this way” aren’t mutually exclusive. It’s definitely not that you wake up one day and decide now I’m gay. Maybe you wake up one day and decide today I’m going to act on it. And as it gets more acceptable in society more people are willing to act on things that previously they could decide not to act on. It’s a spectrum so some people can’t live without acting on, and some people can get by.

I’m “gay” and it’s not something I could change even if I wanted to. But I know that if someone who wasn’t the same sex came along and we got amazingly and there was sexual chemistry I wouldn’t limit myself because I use the label “gay”. (Really I’m about 90% along the spectrum to gay, but it’s easier just to say gay) For other friends they don’t have this, they are just “gay” and have zero interest in someone not the same sex and it’s not a choice that’s just how they are whether that’s through genes or environmental factors.

People have conscious control over how they act and who they sleep with but I’m almost certain they don’t have control over their sexuality.

How to learn to pick a database software and design a DB for your application?
I am trying to create my own forum based application and trying to figure out how to build it's backend by myself. I didnt have a software degree but I started out as a front end developer for the last 2 years. I was planning to build my backend with aws serverless stack, and wonder whether DynamoDB could be best for my usecase. However, I have done some reading and watched video like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzeKPKpucS0&feature=youtu.be&t=2559 for days and still clueless about the database selection and design for my use case. There are so many terms I dont understand. For those with software degrees, do you guys learn how to select and design a database during your college/university? Any advise for me in starting out my application? What resource should I look into to build my knowledge?
As mentioned by another user:

"The dmarc reports from Google do not actually give you the portion of email that is placed in recipients' spam folder."

So it is just about the server and and dns part (the things I as an administrator can control)

Bikes like Harleys and BMW twins have plenty of torque, where bikes like Kawasaki Ninja's major on power (peak torque at high revs). Hence Harleys and BMW's are first off the line at the lights (no need to build revs) but the Ninja's will come steaming past seconds later.

There are some fun youtube videos demoing bike performance, e.g. Ninja H2's doing 0-250MPH in 26s [0], outdragging a Bugatti [1] and outpacing an F1 car and an F16 fighter at the same time.

Can't say I agree completely, actually I'm pretty insulted. People pursue careers for reasons other than pure greed. My sister is a doctor and a professor and has contributed far more to society than I have as man or a father.

I do agree that we don't need two people per household doing bullshit jobs like selling advertising.

But civilization is perfectly capable of decline and disaster even if we were still organized around single income households. So what if out our children have good nutrition, if we are faced with total environmental collapse or nuclear war?

Well inflation has to be at some healthy level.

Low inflation means there isn't much money in market chasing goods and services. It can happen if there is simply no demand for goods/services. So you don't see price for goods/services going up.

High inflation means too much money chasing limited goods, leading to price of goods and services soar.

Both are bad for the economy.

In a country like India, government expenditure drives economy. If government hoards all cash and sits atop it, sucking market dry - it's bad for economy but you can claim lower inflation only for sometime before the supply also adjusts to the current demand, shrinking the economy and then cycle continues, you end up with slower growth rate or growth reversed.

Look at growth rate, what do you see?

> From a high level view, the idea that something that is so critical to species survival, like a sex drive, isn't largely genetic determined seems rather unlikely.

Actually I found that surprising to hear. We have so many social processes that in many cases discourage and reduce sexual behavior.

Marriage works against the survival of the fittest you might get from sowing wild oats, but it's almost universal.

Homosexuality, indeed, is a discouragement to species survival (if I understand your meaning correctly). Yet you're claiming it is unlikely that it doesn't originate in genetics?

I don't know, I mean, I basically agree with your final statement - that we don't actually have a discrete variable here even if we largely see discrete behavior (since we tend to prefer long lasting relationships, so if you're F45-55M then you'll probably focus disproportionately on finding an M partner).

And what it means to be a guy or a girl is definitely not genetic. Most of our interaction with sexual beings is "pants on". And those pants, and the nature of our interactions, is hugely cultural determined.

And I think most people have the experience of being attracted to a person without engaging in any sex-seeking behavior with them. And many people seem to have experience of the reverse.

Given the cultural and experiential components of sexual attraction, I really don't think genetics need to be worth that much. Maybe there's some contribution, but it doesn't seem to have much scope, nor does it need it.

[edit] bellow is wrong (dark matter uses free params), misread from wikipedia see child comment...

Conversely entropic gravity uses free parameters, which according to the crushing wikipedia definition is likely to be a product of wishful thinking.

A stark difference, although i'm definitely not suggesting this to be some absolute measure of truth - perhaps it is useful to consider the historical context this good scientific quality (which is generally good) emerged from, it's possible it may not be a good fit for theories grounded in emergence and chaos of the very small?

Mine are also regular uncoated ADC plastic, and I wash them with warm water + dish detergent + microfiber cloth. I then rinse under a thin stream of running water, slow enough that it has laminar flow, and I angle the glasses so the water hits the lens close to parallel to the surface. The water sheets off the lens without splashing and leaves it visually flawless. I always rinse the microfiber cloth before use to remove any grit or abrasive dust, and I avoid touching the lenses with anything but the wet microfiber cloth.

Are you in control of your network connection? Packets aren't that much different from calls between DSOs. It's just a big onion ring. If you make a conscious decision to trust Chrome with your data, then does Chrome have a moral obligation to ensure that choice, in reality, ends up being You<->Chrome, rather than You<->SysAdmin<->Comcast<->NSA<->Hacker<->Chrome? Or maybe they just want to protect IP holders. Or maybe they just don't want folks filing bugs about performance when the root cause turns out to be some poorly written system library. At the end of the day, it's all about minimizing unknowns.

LGPL allows dynamic linking. Only way it'll allow static is if your releases are accompanied by tools for decompiling and recompiling your binaries with the LGPL bits interchanged. But that actually might not be allowed either, since GCC 4.3+ headers and runtimes (e.g. libstdc++) kind of prohibit you from changing binaries on your own, after they've been compiled.

I like to think of gravity as an anti entropic force.

Logically the maximum entropy possible would be with each particle placed randomly with random momentum, but gravity makes that impossible on cosmic scales, as such a system would soon collapse because of gravity pulling the particles together.

We could see gravity as an entropic limiting force, with entropy increasing statistical forces increasing entropy on the microscopic scale being contradicted by entropy limiting gravitational effects on the super-macrostopic scale.
You clearly didn't read the article and misunderstood the title of the article. It says no single genetic cause. There are in fact, multiple genetic causes instead.
It's already blurry; humans are already used to using chunks of the environment as parts of their state of mind. I have personal experience with this: as I've been dragged from my previous highly-customized Linux desktop into a more software-conformity-centric world, it's had pretty distinctly constraining effects on the way I'm able to use my mind, making various forms of easy external fluidity close to impossible. I've tried to fight against it, but the environment evolves so that people expect you to have the executive function of all their devices combined, and the only way that you're allowed to is by having either the same or similar devices or orders of magnitude more resources.

Toddlers are, today, growing up with iPads, YouTube, and Alexa/Siri as just a natural part of the world. As far as I've observed—admittedly not much—educators and parents are far behind, I would speculate both because grasping the indirection-of-agency that this sort of technology creates is a heavy abstract task of the kind that doesn't seem to filter through those parts of civilization well and because the technology has the ability to change too quickly to counter any attempts to pin it down. And pinning it down in too static a fashion could have its own horrible effects.

“FOSS” in the original sense is largely a distraction here (even though it is still an important idea), given that we've wound up in the “programming is specialized” world. The dynamic characteristics involve how agency flows through systems, and in the presence of highly distributed and often SaaSS (Service as a Software Substitute, as the FSF describes it) systems, being able to alter the source code isn't a solid defense even at “skilled programmer” speeds: going against a rushing current just means you get torn apart as soon as you touch the world. I think we need a new word for what you probably meant but which I don't know how to articulate well.
If this is activism, what is political goal here? It seems like all this does is enable people with a highly-paid skill (accessing tor, then deploying/running scripts) to not pay for transport.
London Underground and London Buses are both "semi-online". They don't generally try to immediately validate a transaction with your bank the moment you touch your card. Transactions are batched and applied overnight, after applying any discounts like daily/weekly fare caps, out-of-station interchanges, and the bus "hopper fare". The batching means that transactions can still be accepted if the terminal is offline for some reason.

However, there is also a blacklist of card numbers that have outstanding balances against them. If you try to use a card that is declined, it will work the first day but not on subsequent days. If you go on TfL's website and clear the outstanding balance, the card will work again after 30 minutes (or in practice, less) once it is removed from the blacklist.
All of them.

We are only scratching the surface of genetics and epigenetics and no one in the industry pretends to have the tools to make statements like '8% of the variance in sexual orientation is determined by genetic factor'.

We know that e.g. dementia has a strong genetic component and have still failed to identify it despite knowing with certainty that component is there. We know faces are almost entirely determined by genetics but are still far off from being able to accurately predict a face from dna. We have a long way to go.

You're misappropriating studies that you don't understand to support a personal viewpoint that has no basis in the facts.

Nah they usually deal mostly with theory.

Maybe one of the quickest "traditional" ways is to buy a namecheap hosting plan with a domain. Then you'll be able to use PHP and MySQL and expose your site to the internet for maybe $7 a month.

Query planners are like compilers: sophisticated and sometimes surprising but not perfect. Writing sql is just like writing any other code: optimize for an easy to understand query first, performance if needed (and always comment your performance optimizations)! They are also like just-in-time hotspot optimizations: the query planner keeps statistics and the second run of a query can be 10x or more faster than the first run. (Side note: most analytics queries in my experience are run against cold data so it’s usually worth optimizing for first-query performance.) This stuff is also my day job, and fun!
