Eh, from what I know, it was very much ideological, at least that's what I heard from people I knew working with it. To quote the dev on this himself: >And putting it in a DB table means someone could very easily remove it by deleti

A less cancerous comparison (but by no means good) might be to approach this from a statistical/distributions point of view. What quantile of the population do I belong to? Still a comparison, but you set the bounds early. If you have

I'll grumble that the Rittenhouse trial is nothing to do with said accelerationism. Said volatility is solely because of the media trying to flay him to push their views, regardless of the evidence. What else can you say of a clown par

Highly paid tech workers complain about their "slavery". I doth think you should see what a slave's life actually was.

Think of it more on a cultural level. The US generally looks down on the intellectually skilled at the early-mid education level. The nerd stereotype and low status are derived from that. This, intuitively, has a negative impact on uptake.

There's the other side of the coin though. You say that not to emphasise the point, but to protect yourself. "I'm not a racist because I agree with x", don't call me a racist for disagreeing with you.

The integration of renovation in the sales process is a differentiating factor in itself. That you're not the target market or, that it might not have been successful, doesn't change that.

Funnily enough, once of my mathematically inclined friends has had this exact issue with biological problems. Every time he tried breaking it down into a neat solution, the response from the bio side would inevitably start with "but&qu

Sure, you just no longer matter. That's the problem.

His argument is that Zillow was providing a valuable service in the renovation process. Value-add allows them to charge for it.

Thank god for that. The way Sf treats property crime with such indifference is unacceptable in most of the developed world

If you're interested in some of the better Japanese curry and other such b-grade gourmet types, feel free to dm me. That particular type of food has been one of my favourites for some time. Not so much on the high end though.

Oh no, people get to explicitly define their list instead of some overseers tweaking the algorithm to show them what they need to see. At least one is explicit

Well, I'd gladly be one of them. I have a strong disagreement with the current HN hivemind over the "evil" of Facebook. I'd put them at equal levels of "evil" with the rest of the AANG. That and I'm person

A 5 buck loaf is certainly not in the wonderbread territory. Its both a mix of far more expensive and smaller in size.

I'd blame that on the popular media, which portrays antibodies as carefully tuned single agents rather than the randomly generated pile that they are.

by esyir 5y ago
The generation of antibodies via somatic hypermutation (random shuffling + selection) is indeed a university level topic.

Speaking as a guy with a full fledged gaming PC and a quest/quest2, the quest was the device that really sold VR for me. PCVR is nice, but has it's limitations. Location is a big one. my desktop is located in an area with no space

I would say fix this elsewhere. If you think that the issue is economic inequality impeding their development, this sort of fix is at best a hack that draws fire in other ways, especially from those with egalitarian values. An enforced raci

It's a pretty terrible case for "everything is getting crazy expensive". If that 28 buck cost stems from all his ultrapremium/expensive brands, that's on him, not inflation.

Prusa i3 MK3S. Kit if you want to DIY a bit, standalone if you don't. I've saying this because it's a complete, stable, easy to use 3d printer from what I understand, with minimal troubleshooting/tinkering to get it to w

The anti meritocracy argument goes, as it always does: meritocracy is not perfect => meritocracy is worthless and must be discarded. It's an absolutely pointless argument that can be applied to any system that exists in the real wor

It does bring up a different question though. There's now an obvious conflict of interest with regard to news sites reporting on Facebook. Their generalized antagonism towards Facebook, and the tech industry has a pretty clear root: th

Speaking from a survey design point of view, he's more correct here. Especially with topics like this, the self selection effect and subsequent sampling bias can be very strong. The evidence here is sufficiently poor to provide minimal

Might want to normalise for income here. Having a high cost of living but high median income would be a bit of a misrepresentation.

Just as all Americans are deeply racist and seek the downfall of non-white races, am I right? Yes, there are abuse cases, some which are particularly bad. No, this is not the norm, at least as far as my social circle's expectations are

You most certainly pay for medicine. Even for the subsidised polyclinics, where wait times average at 2h, you'll still have to pay the subsidised rate. They're not prohibitive, but to a certain extent, you pay with time rather tha

There has been a growing movement to pave over a person's achievements in light of some discovered sin, as though that immediately invalidates all they have done.

Sure I can. I can murder myself with pesticide free, ethically raised double cheeseburgers. It's quite easy to find unhealthy food with the standard list of virtuous labels. Go to any high end restaurant, you'll probably get just
