An axolotl is a salamander that remains in its larval form throughout its life, while most salamanders go through a metamorphosis during sexual maturity, so it’s not surprising it retains embryonic growth capabilities. There’s actually a th

Where are you seeing the marines where deployed? I am reading they were put on alert status, which is not the same. I would imagine this is being done as a signal to the state of California not to incite insurrection or the Insurrection Act

If I were on the board / an investor of the company, I’d let the managers go and hire back that engineer. The goal of a company is to serve its customers and make a profit, not stroke managements egos. And it sounds more like this guy

Without looking out the window how would you tell the difference between acceleration or deceleration? You can’t. And if you say “well one way I fly to the back of the tram and the other the front” You’re arbitrarily associating “front” wit

by crazydoggers 1y ago
Acceleration is a vector. So if you apply the “deceleration” long enough you’ll eventually be accelerating in the opposite direction. Without a frame of reference it’s all the same. Even with a frame of reference you’re still accelerating j

I wonder if it’s actually a form of touch sensation. Some parts of the body might be minutely susceptible to magnetic fields and the feeling is distributed across areas of the turtle. The human finger can sense things only a micron in size.

I hope you’re being sarcastic. Today’s “AI” is as close to being a general intelligence with sentience as a toaster is to a laptop. You might as well be concerned about revenge for all the electronics you sent to the dump or the software li

> They complain generally that the studies don't have total answers, without understanding that this is how science gets us to the big picture. I think this is one of the big disconnects caused by a lack of good scientific education

Studying a single subject does not make it “poorly done”. That’s not how science works. A well done research experiment isn’t going to test everything known to man. They’re focused on microplastics and they’ve shown what microplastics can d

Great point about the queen bee. The queen also uses her stinger inside her own hive. If the hive believes she is nearing the end of her reproductive abilities, they’ll rear other queens. She has to defend her position and quickly goes to k

Yes! To put a finer point on it, group selection theories don’t have a specific physical explanation for how they operate, instead veering into philosophical explanations. Ultimately natural selection must operate on the gene. Genes are the

There’s no upper limit, so there’d have to be some set of rules like no sleep(n). Also given the halting problem, you could write an algorithm that would be impossible to determine if it loops forever.

This is an extremely important point. A lot of managers don’t read the employment contracts. Often times the legal departments (or just lawyer depending on company size) has just drafted something that protects the company as much as is leg

As I said, there have been challenges to the rule and it’s currently under injunction. However, if you talk to any corporate attorney they will tell the company to prepare and position itself for having to comply with the ban. If you’re an

First off I never said they were “blanket banned”. I said “they were totally banned by the FTC” which is true and correct. And I said other states “also limited them significantly” which is also true and correct. A Texas federal court ruled

No they were totally banned by the FTC. And the states that do the most innovation and economic activity had also limited them significantly. https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2024/04&#x

Are you perhaps not from the United States? Your take that it’s unethical seems to contradict with nearly 200 years of American IP law, or even further back to the 1400s in English common law where non competes were considered unjustifiable

There is no way that it is unethical. According to who’s ethics? According to my ethics it’s unethical for a company to believe it has any say whatsoever about what I author unless I give them specific assignment of what I create for speci

First, definitely consult a lawyer and your contract. In the US contract law pretty much says if you signed it, you agreed to it, then it holds, unless the law overrides it. For example, you could sign a contract that says you are now an in

If you utilize any of the company’s assets or property in its creation then they can argue ownership. For example if you write it on their laptop that you take home on the weekend, or you spend your lunch break at the computer in your offic
