The author also "absolutely loathed Star Wars: The Last Jedi" which to me feels like an overreaction to a movie.

From the article they specify "with Klinefelter syndrome" which is the XXY version of trisomy 23. This fits the word limit: "Scientists generate XX and XY cells from a person with Klinefelter syndrome"

It probably has to do with the desirability of the replaced jobs. There's definitely an element of classism, but also people /really/ want to be artists and make a living doing that specific thing. There's the "star

I love the idea of the public domain so much - the idea that these bits of culture may have been created by a single person, but that they ultimately belong to everyone as members of the culture. I've always wanted to host a New Years

I definitely agree this is an etiquette rules discussion - and that maybe this change has to do with how loud the loudest microphones can get. Maybe pre-internet, the only people who would see criticism would be other experts in the field.

I thought the discussion of the color schemes for making a 2D heatmap was particularly interesting - it's cool how the blending mode makes it easy to generate 9 colors that only need a little adjustment. I also like seeing this sort of

Intent and effect are different things. And certainly different ages call for different levels of freedom. My main critique was leveled at the company which directly facilitates the surveilance and not necessarily individual parents. But I

Here's a thought experiment/rhetorical question - how much should kids (of various ages) have the freedom to do things their parents don't approve of? Taking into consideration the full range of parents (amazing to abusive) a

For anyone unaware, Life 360 is largely used as surveillance technology so parents can monitor their children's locations. Hardly comparable to a social media app - it essentially desensitizes children to pervasive surveillance, and se

They're not "experienced engineers" but I could see this being useful at the new grad/early career level - where people can code (and leetcode) but there's maybe a need for a more guided class-like experience, espec

How long does it take to develop new challenges with support across all of the languages you have? And how scalable is that process? This looks super cool, and a fun way to spend some of an education stipend (that for me mostly goes unused)

Some of us value other things ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source-software_movement#... ) more than additional compensation. These ideas have roots in the original hacker culture that this site was named for - th

The piece overly relies on the metaphor to the point of almost being incomprehensible. From the title and opening example I assumed it had something to do with literal human bodies. But then the definition of a thick desire is vague to the

You're only 35 and you tell yourself "25s and under are just fucking stupid"? You probably have colleagues in that age range - being blithely dismissive of perspectives that are just barely outside of your own doesn't se

Agreed on the personal contexts - and also where I expected the article to go. I think a better argument for professional contexts is that everyone is expected to maintain a certain level of professionalism and politeness - including CEOs.

I totally agree with you on the writers room issue! It's a bit less easy to see, but it's definitely important for representation to go beyond shallow stereotype, and actually touch on real experiences. For an example from my back

Aside from what my sibling comment said about a fantasy world, why'd you pick Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist and The Dragon Prince? Surely shows like Abbott Elementary and Euphoria would be more culturally relevant? Or recent anima

The article is interesting, and while I do generally agree with loosening intellectual property restrictions, the tone makes this feel like it's preaching to the choir, instead of making a claim and trying to get more broad agreement.

Seems like the answer is no. A growing city needs 1) housing and 2) public transit. Unfortunately NIMBYs: "The city is trying to enact a change to its zoning code to make it easier to increase density, but residents sued; the case is s

Those are literally the exact complaints I was thinking of when you said terrible UI/UX. It's so ridiculous that I have to mash escape when someone shares screen. I thought what my previous company used was not the best, but if zo
