> But when environmental conditions become stressful, the worms become sexually attractive much sooner. For them, sex is the equivalent of a Hail Mary pass — a desperate gamble that if their offspring are more genetically diverse, some will fare better under the new, rougher conditions.

I really feel like this was written for commentary and parallels on humans. The article also starts with "organisms swiping right" to set the tone for this "worm" based research paper.
> Safari annoys the heck out of me but I use it for the battery life

I wish it had more and better extensions, but the battery life savings and general lighter feel/effect on overall system responsiveness is so large that I put up with that unless I really have to have better dev tools or something. All my normal browsing happens in Safari. Took me like 3 years to convert after starting to use Macs, as I initially dismissed it, but damn, it's way lighter than FF or Chrome.

> Preview is the PDF viewer right?

It's a lots-of-things viewer, but its PDF support is so good that it made me go from hating when something was in a PDF, which had been the state of things with every PDF viewer I'd ever used since first encountering the format some time in the 90s, to liking PDFs. It's lightweight (like most of Apple's tools, I can just leave it in the background and forget it's there), crashes are extremely rare (maybe one or two in a decade or more of use?), and it supports all kinds of nice-to-have stuff like compiling a PDF from pages of other PDFs, removing or re-ordering pages, signing, light image editing and markup capabilities, et c.

Why not? I'm a university employee. Grad student, so maybe skewed a bit (are we talking about more permanent administrative employees? They I guess have different interests, since they aren't transient like me).

1) I'm going to, absent some massive political shift, vote for Democrats for the rest of my life anyway. So, they don't really have to play for my vote.

2) Playing around with boring stuff like tweaking market forces around by changing how loans work is sufficiently indirect that blame can probably be dodged.

3) We're all aware that the current system is pretty bad, a new solution that at least purports to be an attempt at something better can be sold to me pretty easily.

3a) Keep in mind that, at least in the STEM departments, the instructors are there for essentially irrational reasons -- they could make much more money in industry. At least some of the motivation is to produce interesting science and help students, paycheck be damned. Changes that hurt the last while helping the first two will probably be accepted with only minimal grumbling as long as they aren't too painful.

Some inequity is from chance, but of significant inequity comes from many other reasons

People pursue very different paths in life. People dedicate themselves to the paths they do take with varying degrees of effort, thought, etc.

Inequity is going to always be the result. Enforced equity has (so far) simply enabled enforcers to create inequity in there favor.

I think it is a mistake to treat all inequity as “the” problem. Because it isn’t, and because that distracts from solving problems that can be solved. (To a higher degree.)

Is the future price for Bitcoin the main metric of success? Price only measures how much someone is willing to pay, not if the commodity has any value or effects any positive change. Baseball cards and comic books sometimes sell for crazy prices, but I would think someone foolish for going all-in on speculative investments.

Maybe us yuppie elites dismiss Bitcoin because the ecosystem is rife with hucksters and fraud and crime. Or maybe we still remember the Beanie Baby maximalists and how that turned out.

You can't practically quantify this. If we forgive current loans, you could assess a dollar value - but what you can't do is project what those individuals will do once that debt is forgiven. Buy a new car? Take out new loans? Shopping spree? Or what precedent it sets for the public contemporaneously. Or what precedent it sets for the future. What we're not doing is working in a vacuum.

With Windsor, someone only needs to record a single video they'd like to send to a customer, and windsor's platform automatically generates thousands of copies, each one personalized to a recipient. Each video looks and sounds like it was recorded just for them. Brands use Windsor to send post-purchase messages soliciting reviews, recover 2X the abandoned carts with a timely personalized video, and improve LTV and recurring repeat purchases with winback campaigns that generate 2X to 3X the conversions.

Idealism is great for virtue signaling. The reality is that rewarding bad behavior and punishing good behavior does not lead to a healthy society.
I'm not sure I agree on the piracy front. Everyone I know who's young enough to have been college aged since about 1998, knows exactly how and where to turn. This is an age bracket running into early-40s now.

I think what's stopped more and more people from piracy has been all-you-can-eat subscriptions. Not that they can't, or won't, but that spotify + netflix took care of a huge portion of consumption.

From this perspective, taking more and more things off the menu has a huge potential to turn the tide. This show's only on Disney, that show's only on HBO - and HBO isn't available here. This season's on netflix but next season's on prime ..
Benefits as a Reflection of Values
I think it’s less about the specific architectural style and more about if the building itself is designed well. There are both good and bad “modern” buildings. For example, I think the Seagram building is beautiful, but I don’t like a lot of the buildings that ripped off its style. Most buildings I see attributed to a “modernist” style are actually just cheap ugly buildings.

Furthermore, when we see old buildings there is a lot of survival bias going on.
Haha, I hope I didn't unearth too many bad memories of waiting. Thanks for the kind words.

My point was more that the rate of severely mentally ill living on the streets leads to a very different dynamic. In the 70’s and 80’s we had a functional public health system for the mentally ill. That was dismantled and the situation today is very different. The difference between a hobo and a paranoid schizophrenic is immense. Seedy areas are often simply where poor people live, and poor people have kids and families - they’re just poor, not dangerous. Folks with serious mental Illnesses are frankly considerably more scary for a kid than seeing drug dealers on the corner, and are by nature erratic and unpredictable.

The story of the disturbed man exposing himself wasn’t particularly about him exposing himself, but about the fact there’s no where for him to go to receive help, or if he’s untreatable, somewhere for him to live where his tendencies don’t hurt society at large. The only place for him today is untreated and on the streets - and that changed in the late 80’s and accelerated through the early 1990’s.
I dunno, I think something very broad like /.+@.+\..+/ is probably good enough to catch like 99% of input problems. Gimme a string, an at-symbol, a string, a period, then another string. I don't think you can actually have an email that won't match this pattern?

But instead of showing an error you can just kinda say, hey are you sure you want that? and let them do it anyway. this is more of a validation suggestion.
>Far more has been sent over traditional rails [1]. Once you consider state aid, e.g. the billions the Congress has authorized, crypto's contribution is irrelevant.

When you put it that way, your or my life is just a point of irrelevance in the sea of humanity. While that has a ring of truth to it, it's an odd way to dismiss each piece from making its contribution. A house is built of many bricks.

Could these public servants be subject to being misled? They can tell the truth but they aren't all knowing, they won't necessarily know when they've been lied to.

Could these public servants be become a tool for a more powerful political entity? Perhaps truth is more subjective than we hoped, or perhaps they have been conditioned with a failsafe - to keep them from speaking certain truths.

Could these public servants decide they don't like the life they've been given? They are humans, not mere tools.

It's disappointing but not unexpected to see your comment downvoted. There's a reason CPTSD is considered even more difficult to treat than PTSD.
Supernormal stimulus is related.

Baudrillard would, I think, follow McLuhan in blaming technology and pataphysics (e.g. the 'physics' of fiction) as opposed to "this is a conscious conspiracy to control people". A middle ground is that if CBS didn't do it, NBC would.

No change short term, long term lower rent.

LVT pressures land owners to use land more productively = more rental units available = lower rents.

It means lower property prices though, and it would push a lot of mortgaged property underwater.
And I figured I'll reply to my own comment since I can't edit it any longer:

Had 4 points upvoted and now down to 0 points, arguably Bitcoin et al enthusiasts/gamblers who instead of actually responding to my points can suppress my comment from the top of a thread by a quick click of a downvote - giving them a reward, dopamine hit at the same time; ideologues who are financially incentivized to suppress counter narrative and promote their propaganda, whereas I'm not financially motivated or incentivized to spend all the time I have to write out what I do.
I think this needs to be highlighted more. Now github takes a lot of the blame while they are simply complying with the regulations. Maybe they should display something similar to what is shown when a warez website gets taken down by the authorities.

I also think they need to receive a warning before this is implemented, so that they have time to move over to another platform. I hope this was done.
How common is bullying in schools where you live?

I've never been bullied, or bullied others, or witnessed bullying in school. We had fights, but mostly short fist fights between equal opponents that quickly ended up drawing the attention of teachers, and mostly due to arguments, rather than someone being harassed or squeezed for lunch money (that might be because we had no lunch money).

The only case of bullying that I'm familiar with, is how the school treats its students (hitting, forced confession, long detention, school ending at 10pm).

Is bullying among students a common occurrence in your schools? Is it like the TV dramas, where athletic sports students bully the bookish ones?
Ooh, yes, but a slab of Gouda also works in a pinch.
To be honest, I find this optional(!) feature much more appealing than the use of the word "safety" in this context.
I think Google just simply doesn't need to be good anymore. They really did need to be good when they were a small company with a goofy name in a sea of small companies with goofy names. Now they are not. They don't need to stand out. They don't need to be better.

Until they have a serious threat from competition (you'll know this is the case when you hear a lot of non-technical people talking about "Binging" or "Yandexing" something instead of Googling) nothing will change.

This is how many sites were written in the mid-90s. I remember writing a whole webmail portal as a single C file in about 1995. It was really cool and pretty revolutionary and me and my friends used it a lot. I never even remotely thought about releasing it to the world. Then HoTMaiL came along and I thought "Oh." And then they got bought by Microsoft for $400m and I thought "Oh, dear."
It can't worry about jr because it doesn't have a dick. It's deficient in E's - embodied, embedded, enacted and extended. Our curiosities and values come from the game we play, so it would need to play the same game with us to develop them.

This whole topic of trans-generational inheritance and non-genetic factors affecting evolutionary fitness is, in my opinion, an undervalued topic in evolutionary biology today. If treating diseased cells with a particular drug elicits the over-expression of a microRNA to protect the cell, could that sustained expression be passed onto daughter cells without genetic mutation? That would be a case of some information (microRNA expression) being passed over generations of cells that influences phenotype (response to drug treatment).
It's not strictly DNA-based, but it should still have some effect on evolutionary dynamics.

I (unsuccessfully) tried to tackle some of these ideas during my PhD, looking at other modifications to the DNA fibers like DNA methylation, transcription factor binding, and the 3D coiling of DNA inside the cell, and how that influences cell populations.

There are some interesting studies in plants from a few years ago [0-1] and more recent studies using some single-cell high throughput sequencing techniques [2] to investigate what role these non-genetic perturbations might play in evolution and disease.

The point I wanted to make was that Laravel is objectively impressive even to somebody who dislikes PHP, so going into details as to exactly why I dislike the language would distract from what I was trying to get across.
I’m all for normalizing emotional injury if we can come up with a consistent framework for identifying it (same as a broken ankle). We currently lack the technical ability to understand emotion in an objective way.

As it stands, people use it as a way to control others. Your post is a perfect example of this. You claim some people can’t “shrug it off” but you have no objective way of backing that up. Why are you saying it?
I feel that the real interest here is the HN discussion, and it really doesn’t matter if the story is fabricated for the upvotes

I spent a good part of my summer holidays as a kid on the roof of a shed. Or in the tree near it, a bit higher. Different country though.

This is probably a new low for HN in terms of gibberish.
hmmm. definitely a dick move but not sure about "hostile" (definitely passive aggressive).

It's a base level of respect to address people as the ask to be addressed. The student was within reason to complain but it never should have gone past a direct conversation w/ admin on standards of behavior.

Is this really a problem though? Wouldn't arts programs simply move to being something offered to and studied by those wealthy enough to do so? I'm genuinely curious.
Its in quotes because I realized I didn't know what kind of doctor, Dr Andrew Kinton was, just from the article. Did she go to a doctor (reinforcing the point I was making)? Did she got to a therapist (reinforcing the point I was making)? Is this lecturer practicing as any of those at all (that would be... hilarious in the context of spiraling but definitely something I should accurately write)? I looked him up and he only has a PhD - hence the Doctor - and only lectures on some topics like sociology at the university, in the United Kingdom. So she didn't go to a doctor for treatment, she went to someone that is nominally authorized to have Dr in their name. Hence "doctor".

Which political ideology is that suggesting, by the way?

I highly recommend everyone review the shadowbanned comment (and account) in question before agreeing with this comment. It puts on display a shocking lack of humanity, and I'd hope most folks I interact with on this site have a little bit more empathy toward the very real affliction of emotional trauma than is on display in this thread so far.
Wow, thank you. You didn't intend this but you've helped me to understand my mom's life a little better. After my dad died, my mom had a radio going in her house almost 24/7. I never really thought of that as being her way to deal with loneliness but sadly I think that's exactly what it was. Maybe it was better for her to fill her head with the radio voices rather than having to deal with her own lonely internal voice.
PTSD doesn't just shrug off. If you follow the EMDR camp, it's due to experiences that have not been "properly" processed and stored due to the level of emotional association at the time. It can be "unstuck" and filed away but it's not always easy and not something one "just does". The lack of understanding around this in some of the comments is really eye opening to me.
> How far should free speech extend while you're on the job and talking to the customers of your employer?

Students aren't customers. Otherwise professors would only issue good grades. Second if professors are deemed "employees" then employees have rights.
I don't know. And further, I don't know how far US judges have extended it.

Based on the article, the actions taken against him are a direct responce to his speech and his, stated, religions beliefs.

STEM has the highest class mobility, but even just an associates degree is shown to have a net positive outcome. For example of societal benefits and savings, education (yes, even in topics you may not deem 'useful') reduces crime.

And is everything else really 'worthless?' Do we not need lawyers? Social workers? Teachers? Tutors? Librarians? Student debt is a barrier to solving teacher shortages, and not everyone is teaching STEM.

My new fav rant is the voice phone systems for Kaiser, which makes me say 'Yes or No' constantly - but literally can only hear me somehow if I'm yelling. And they don't tell you to press a number to say yes or no until after you've failed several times with the voice system.

It works well unless the person with such a mark had their wife kidnapped and the only way to ensure she was no longer being tortured was to tell a lie and cause an entire political dynasty to be wiped out.

Razer's a bit overpriced (a la Mac) but I really like the build quality and the specs are typically great. My current Razer Blade Stealth was about $2000 and has worked flawlessly for about a year now (and my previous RBS worked flawlessly for about 3 years before I cracked the screen by stepping on it in the night).

Everything works OOTB on Linux. Battery life is around 9 hours or 5-6 with my full stack running and everything always feels snappy (I use 16 workspaces, so I typically have a TON open). Keyboard feels amazing, the chassis is probably the sturdiest one I've ever had (might be metal but doesn't get hot), and I prefer the touchpad over the mac one, which everyone seems to hold as a gold standard for some reason.
> Is it like the TV dramas, where athletic sports students bully the bookish ones?

absolutely, that's a common dynamic in bullying. I'm in the US, though- perhaps you're somewhere else?
