We can elect our officials; we do not choose who to make rich, or what they do with their money, unfortunately.

I think the genocide he committed deflates it plenty.

“See? My millions of dollars haven’t atrophied my soul.”

Completely agree.

Err, you like non-democratic rulings because they AVOID corruption? Worked great for the FCC!

Well, it’s a loss for us all that the designers were not more imaginative.

The ability of people to complain about things they can easily avoid never ceases to astound me. Secondly, nobody cares what you think about burning man. That goes for everyone. Just go if you want to and enjoy it on your own terms and don’

It seems odd to take this as an indictment of burning man when it should be verboten to invite anyone to an intimate event DURING A PROFESSIONAL INTERVIEW. Wait until after the interview and try to know them on personal terms.... then maybe

Yes, I did not mean to imply otherwise, my apologies.

Science should be publicly funded. Capitalist funding of academic research has perverse incentives.

by drb91 8y ago
Nah, I think you’re missing the point that you can google “bullshit psych studies” and get pages of results. This isn’t an indictment of science, this is an indictment of journals and academia today. Had this registration been in effect 300

They have the advantage of being in fairly trivially replicatable fields, so we can say with confidence they found something true. As to luck, who can say?

Capitalism is not the only force in the world, as much as capitalists strain to argue.

Journaling works well here too, but in my experience the interface sucks on every platform. Eg, it should be trivial to view recent unlinks. There’s simply more reason to invest in backup software, which has an excellent interface even if i

Mildly related, I wish rm would check that you’re not unlinking the current directory. I’ve never wanted the behavior when I accidentally invoke it.

Even better, put it into a non-privileged user by default with no write permission.

Seems to be linux only at first blush.

I would phrase it differently. I am grateful for Apple, but we should not be—asking companies to have morals is like asking rain to fall upwards. Regulation is the appropriate method for dictating companies to behave in a certain way.

I would not. The Simpsons seem inherently antiquated now. (To me! This is an opinion, not an assertion!) It’s hard to put my finger on why I feel like this, but I think a large part is that it only recognizes the stresses and anxieties we h

Great answer, thank you :)

It seems like the legitimacy of something should be demonstrated, not assumed.

by drb91 8y ago
Ahh, entirely possible.

It’s only left wing in a very meaningless definition of left wing. I live there :) San Francisco hasn’t deserved the reputation for decades at this point. It’s the stronghold of Pelosi, a neoliberal and a staunch centrist. Ditto with Feinst

I do truly believe it to be unrelated and veering into attractive-but-unsubstantiated conspiracy territory.

Probably fair, I’ve hit the limits of my understanding here.

There’s a long tradition of speculating about this going back to Socrates, who famously never wrote because he considered it lazy when memory is the real strength of intellect. I also don’t think that Socrates would have been any stupider h

Why isn’t this effect visible in America, then?

Presumably having more of the genes that remain from the original stock. That said I’d be pretty surprised if this was significant at the breed level—most breeds are a fraction of the 11kya mentioned here.

The dogs didn’t vanish, they were subsumed into the wider dog gene pool, and the closest this article gets to recognizing it is that the european dogs “were replaced in terms of genetic frequency”. Meanwhile, the original paper’s headline i
