I've always had this idea that reputation systems and enforced, systematic gatekeeping might be a way to build stronger communities. The fundamental issue of any fully open community is scale. From what I've seen, no online commun

Good the main issue with jokes is they're the text equivalent of a Meme pic or "look what I did" type post. Easy to consume content with little actual meat. They attract upvotes easily when accepted because of that lack of su

That last one is generally a subset of the second last too.

Looking at the media, it's hard to agree with your claim that it's pro status quo. See any incendiary topic where the media can take opposing sides. Surely two diametrically opposed opinions can't be status quo biased.

I'll second this. The vocab is probably the easiest and most straightforward bit to train right now. Flash cards have already all but solved that problem as they provide the simplicity, an easily optimizable metric, and a dopamine hit

Why not all three? The latter two are particularly aggravating when they come together.

Going into slightly darker places though, from A purely utilitarian point of view, I wonder how the math works out on cost benefit ratio here. Motorcyclists, especially non-helmet wearing ones, are a major source of viable organ donations.

Good luck. Those of us in other gaming spheres have been running up against this problem for aeons now. We're not winning. I can only imagine that detecting cheating is even harder in chess.

Dental are actually a great way to show this. The diversity of teeth in our mouths are evidence that we evolved to eat an omnivorous diet.

Would be nice to see a leak of this somewhere. A smoking gun that this is happening, followed by the legal hammer would be what we need here.

Teaching is an interesting case, you have the opposite there, where male teachers are not looked upon favorably.

>He considers information he might not agree with. I've never watched his stuff, but this line alone sounds like a roaring approval to me.

I think where I'd like to draw the line would be on platforms and domain restrictions, and possibly decorum as well. Essentially, the smaller and more specialised the community, the more leeway they have for moderation /censorship

I'll probably weight that warning as "might be ml interesting". Seeing that what I like (the old Web) is dying a slow death under the weight of modern privatised censorship, what they're marking as bad might become signa

When I was a student, I too used it for a relatively banal reason: it looked pretty.

You're about right. the mRNA vaccine introduces mRNA, which is taken up by cells. The cells then use the mRNA to produce the proteins of interest, which then can be presented to immune cells to start the immune response. mRNA is sort a

This feels somewhat counterproductive to me. Would these old planes be noticeably more dangerous?

I would argue that that's half the problem. The other would be the incentives that govt workers have to excel. Where I am (not the US) , the government jobs have a reputation for cushy roles, where your progression is basically guarant

You know why these don't get done? Because that means that you're grabbing a large cohort of people, fixing their diets, and following them until a good number of them die. The timescales required here, not to mention the cost, me

One of the big reasons is that mrna is also much easier to manufacture than proteins. If I wanted to, I could pay for a arbitrary mrna sequence delivered to be within the week. Its basically been commoditized. Conversely, getting a protein

I wish this was the case for gpus now though. They've actually appreciated.

The research end wasn't really the section getting hit by sniper fire, so that bit probably won't fly.

I've said this a few times, cause I find it interesting. That subreddit is literally filled with one person's posts. It feels like a blatant pr/propaganda/the positive version of the former two campaign that constantly w

Yeah, it is. I did check that twitter feed afterward. I didn't edit as it doesn't really affect the point I was making. People just love dunking on their enemies.

I'd say that that's more a reflection of the overall political alignment of that community you've seen rather than anything else. Just as how reddit swings left, and thus comes with massive aoc/whatever figure the right

There's something to be said about going nuclear. For all that shit about proliferation, the ability of a small country to inflict drastically disproportionate damage to a larger country really cripples military offensives.

Similarly, I've always claimed that Netflix is there largely to avoid an offensive acronym.

The right probably feels the same about AoC. And the left tucker Carlson. The list goes on.
