The incorrect alternative I meant is the idea that you can "just switch languages" or frameworks and get an instant speed boost. I mean, yes, sometimes your web server, caching proxy or CDN can act as a silver bullet, and rewriting can provide its own benefits if it simplifies the code, but assuming one language is better than another because "it ranks higher" is only one way of looking at the problem. It's more important to consider other factors, from low-level Linux to high level system architecture, perhaps with something like OpenTelemetry to pinpoint distributed hotspots, for example. Yes, you can learn something from these benchmarks, but alone benchmarks and frameworks can't speed up your app. :)
> That implies a woman's reproductive system knows and remembers or at least keeps a tallies of the sex of the offspring it has produced...

It doesn't require a tally, it just requires that the body stores something that correlates with number and gender of previous children. Like, say, indefinitely retaining genetic material from each of them. Which, you know, mother's bodies do:

“Not only fetal cells, but also fragments of fetal DNA can be present in the maternal circulation indefinitely after pregnancy. This finding has practical implications for non-invasive prenatal diagnoses based on maternal blood, and may be considered for possible pathophysiological correlations.”

Parse.ly and Automattic
There's nothing there (?).

It's just a lot of marketing mumbo jumbo.
Oh, you misunderstand. IT is an impediment to many control engineers. It's the automation techs and engineers that will work around the IT department if IT can't supply solutions. One of the more common ones being hide an AP or like in the article, use teamviewer or other remote access software. Then just share a common credential because nobody wants to actually pay for teamviewer.

Businesses need lower cost because they are under price pressure. Especially with small utilities. Remote access is one of those ways to lower their costs on personnel or vendor support.

There is still a whole lot of low hanging fruit in automation for improving security and access control. We're not going to get it from Rockwell for sure though.
I don't think anyone disagrees with this. The reason functional languages aren't used to write smart contracts is the same reason functional languages aren't used to write a majority of software projects...adoptability/lack of knowledge/interest.
Nice PR for Elon, throwing money at an already-solved problem.

Many plants consume CO2. It seems planting (and NOT 'harvesting) them is too common-sensical, not high-tech enough, or fast enough to sustain all of our bad habits. I've not seen any global assessments of this question (might be a better thing to throw money at).

Instead of incineration of plant 'waste' (exactly the wrong thing) (e.g. India's yearly pollution problem) we can bury much more of it (leaves, branches, crop residue, paper, cardboard) in the ground. And leave it there. Perhaps with enhanced biomes that consume and 'lock-up' CO2. (Low-tech again. Putting incinerators out-of- business as a by-product.)

We can require all fossil-fuel producers to invest a large share of their profits (otherwise wasted on shareholders - they have no plans) on mitigation. That would incent them to find optimal solutions. With severe penalties including jailtime for an added incentive (far more effective than carbon taxes).
It'll eventually be abstracted to where it's simple to be used by regular folks, or it'll be integrated into existing infrastructure.
Reddit seems to be following all the other social media platforms in increasing the time spent within their app.

Reddit Public Access Network (live streaming) could be further monetized by incentivizing tipping and venturing into gaming.
They also purchased the short video app Dubsmash to compete with TikTok. Ads can be shown in between videos.

"...encourage under-represented creators to find a home on Reddit," seems to be hinting at making the platform appealing to influencers? If so, e-commerce and affiliate linking integration could be profitable. Not sure if the current reddit community would like that one, though.

I'm sure they could also squeeze in a Clubhouse copy too. Could be popular with communities like the /r/wallstreetbets crowd.
> Malinformation as a concept is specifically that truthful information can be problematic and we need to be "protected" from it.

I don't see that the second half of that is inherent to the concept of "malinformation". There are situations where unabashed, unfiltered truth can be damaging or problematic. Defining that concept with a term is not in any way attempting to solve that concept. It doesn't presume that something has to be "done" about malinformation, but it can provide additional perspective on ways that misinformation can spread.

I feel western culture defines teen culture in a certain way and then 'teens' act in that way. Even now and in the past, you were see as an adult by 15.

https://thesocietypages.org/socimages/2011/02/23/the-inventi...

Often by age 12 girls would be fully contributing household member doing all work done by adult women and by age 14-15 so would be boys doing everything an adult men would be doing.

Even now that's the case in many places in developing countries, teenagers act like complete adults in mannerism, thoughtfulness and responsibilities. Teenager is a phase that is a luxury, where despite being capable you use more than you bring/produce. In west, it gets you to be an adult without any consequences.

Just because you don't remember doesn't mean it didn't happen. The conversation needs more specification here. Are we talking about the US? Europe? I'm not faulting your comment, the whole chain seems totally mixed up. Like the Bible has been brought into it, but in a weird way---just because something is condemned somewhere in the Bible doesn't tell us the teaching for Christians. The rule about wearing of mixed fibres has an underlying symbolism and purpose. Christians are exempt from most dietary laws in the Bible. Adultery is technically punishable by dishonourable discharge in the modern US military (idk how often it's enforced). They don't seem to worry about fornication now, but in some places and times that debate has been had. Allowing "fornicators" to adopt children is probably very new (and even difficult still). I am commenting just to express my confusion at this change and to say that I think there is a coherent way to make an argument based on Christian tradition and teaching which is not sunk by the supposed inconsistencies pointed out here. If you want to fight the idea that some of the opposition is truly religious (as opposed to some underlying disorder), it would be more interesting to fight a stronger argument. [edit: change --->charge].
Okay, I think maybe we’re trying to making different points here. You are saying that the policies of GEDmatch are different than those of 23andMe and… I don't know who else is in this industry… mormonhumangenome.com or whatever

>To me this sounds like the mother's body is trying to "nudge" the odds towards a daughter

But if that were true, it must succeed sometimes. Evolution doesn't select for things that don't work. We should see an equally strong correlation with sex of offspring and birth order. We don't.

One possibility is that the effect reduces the harmful effects of sibling rivalry by making second sons more empathetic. However, this is basically a random guess — there are so many variables in biology that it could be a million other things instead.

I loved the original article, and (spoiler) it pretty much turned out to be what was posited but they're not sure why the iron levels were low. In the way these things usually go, they decided destroying the withheld US stocks was cheaper than shipping it elsewhere for sale or (illegally?) feeding the needy.

I'm wondering though, is fortification/enrichment in staples widespread? The US seems to do it a lot, but I checked in Australia and I can find only 2 cases of mandatory fortification[0] - Vitamin D for oil spreads (e.g. margarine) and vitamin B1 and folic acid for bread flour, and iodised salt in the bread. I suppose you can also include fluoridated tap water as fortification. I don't have either of those foods that often so hopefully I'm getting these nutrients elsewhere.

That's a good point. And since AWS put forward their support for Rust recently, along with Microsoft's interest and the new Rust Foundation, the future is looking rather bright for Rust. But it reminds me still of the early days of React, the early days of TypeScript, or the early days of Apache, or PHP before Laravel, when there was room for a lot of competition and the "best practices" had yet to work themselves out.

Part of it is that Rust as a language moves quickly, I agree, but there's right now a lot of confusion between picking the pre-1.0 Actix or the post-1.0 Tokio, with AWS seemingly endorsing Tokio but with practical web development restricted to Actix Web for now. This confusion highlights the risky nature of pre-1.0 web servers -- it's not that you can't be productive and stable, but you might need to keep living on the edge for a long time. If you have a small service, that's fine. If you're looking for an API that won't change for 3 years or more, it's harder to suggest Rust at this time...
> Then we could also question whether there is or not a a higher probability for gays to also initiate a gender transition- my hunch is that there is, although of course being gay doesn't per se imply a desire to transition to the opposite sex.

While there's probably a slightly higher probability, the perils and feelings that most trans persons will describe are not something that will match with the experience of someone who is gay.

Imagine you suffered serious injury to most of your body, disfiguring you and making it hard or painful for you to recognize yourself in the mirror. That's effectively what puberty was to me. As a young child, I was aware that I was different, but I was mostly okay until my body started changing in the wrong way.

I've found that most (though certainly not all) trans persons I've talked to resonate with that description. Interestingly, among transwomen in America studies have shown that roughly 60% report experiencing attraction to women, and it's only around 20% that report exclusively feeling attracted to men.

You can view homosexuality as an identity or as a behavior.

Recently the identity option has been emphasized. Part of those is because it offers more legitimacy: if I can convince you that:

1. Gay people exist
2. I am gay

Then, my homosexual behavior is more legitimate. Without the identity, Western legal codes were able to ban homosexual behavior.
The only ones legally questionable are the use of darknet markets and offshore banking (which isn't illegal, but maybe should be).

While it's true that other solutions may improve, and I think they might be forced to, it's difficult to imagine middlemen surviving when the fee they can extract goes to zero. It's also difficult to imagine another system providing irreversible transactions as quickly as cryptos do.

And I don't think any of the benefits go away after crypto goes mainstream.
I did a Harvard Business case study of Tesla a few years ago. Any way you looked at Tesla, they were a house of cards, ready to disintegrate should investors lose faith.

Elon Musk is constantly finding new ways to engage investors in an even larger dream. He creates a mythology that drags people in with their capital.

The result is a great car company that I am so glad exists. But the stock price is a touch detached from reality and will fall the moment people pop out of the Elon Musk dream state. It’s a desperately risky bet on ever-improving prospects that may not arrive.

> Some of this stuff gets very technical

It isn't about being technical. It is about explaining why rather than what. If I started talking about cuckoo hashing before explaining that I was providing an associative container, it'd read weird. Similarly, one can fully understand the technical jargon and still come away from that material with "but why".

Given the barriers to communication back then it feels like it didn't take them all that long to make their way to Europe. The numeral system seems to have been codified in India by 700, then extended by the Arabs to decimals and fractions by 900, then began making its way into Europe by 1000. The callout to the 14th century might just be because that's about when the printing press was developed, which caused the dissemination of knowledge to really start kicking off in general.
"It's better designed" - that's a very subjective comment.

>Why would gay men become more effeminate?

Well, if we take "effeminate" to mean "Exhibiting behaviour or mannerisms considered typical of a female" [1], then wanting to have sex with men, something straight females (the majority of females) and gay males have in common, is effeminate. So I'd say it's not so ridiculous to think that gay men are typically more effeminate.

Just added this comment on the issue:

Hi all, I've been doing a bit of research into possible apps that could be causing this and found two potential culprits that I am currently investigating.

The first is Mitron TV, an Indian TikTok alternative which was made available again on the app store June 6th (https://indianexpress.com/article/technology/tech-news-techn...).

The second is Say Namaste, an Indian Zoom alternative which was launched on the app stores June 9th (https://indianexpress.com/article/technology/tech-news-techn...).

Both fall into the timeline of huge increases, have millions of users and may be using '1280px-AsterNovi-belgii-flower-1mb.jpg' to check the users internet connection - especially for Say Namaste to ensure video connectivity. I've reached out to some developers at both companies and will report back. Let me know your thoughts.

EDIT: I have also noticed the dates match the reopening after lockdown for the whole of India: "This first phase of reopening was termed as "Unlock 1.0"[13] and permitted shopping malls, religious places, hotels and restaurants to reopen from *8 June*."
