In general these sort of studies can be generalized to other species as the genetic mechanisms in animals are similar. This study has more to do with the relationship of genetic, environmental and pre-natal environmental and individuality s

Yes, I think this study is one of those "we kind of knew but we never really tested it" studies which to me are some of the most fun. There is a huge scientific difference between having an idea why something might be and actual

I guess there's a little bit of a misunderstanding here. The maternal womb is also considered an environmental factor, so by the time they are born the offspring has already been affected, greatly, by the environment. And that's p

I think telegram wants to become kind of an "everything" app. I've been using telegram since around 2015, it's a good messaging app. I do see a lot of only-fans type people in it as well and so I imagine these sort of fe

What I personally think is that maybe these AI are being really inefficient with their training and still capable of producing all of this wealth. As we discover newer and better architectures, which I believe we will, then the machines are

I don't seem to understand why you think the access to these tools is a bad thing. Like, I can deduce that your argument comes from a place of "this work is mine and mine alone"... but is it? We don't have copyright on m

I don't think I ever called it a democratic governance? I think you might have misunderstood my point. I think these platforms need to be more democratic, I don't think they're democratic at all as publicly owned companies.

Yes. But now it's one man, no? I don't think the situation before was in any way ideal; I simply think it is worse now.

The problem I had is that the space I created in the beginning was quite nice, and we had lots of nice people in it. But as word spread that people wouldn't get banned we started getting a lot of "undesirable" people, people

Because less people are now in control of the decisions. In theory, a public company is controlled by its shareholders who are the ones that choose the board. Now the company is privately owned, meaning there are less owners than before. Le

Every politician uses twitter. Every politician's speech is dictated by what their followers believe, it is in many cases the most direct form of communication they have with their constituents. I don't like this situation, but it

There are different views on what freedom means. In my experience, and I used to run a "freedom of speech" channel back in IRC many years ago where I allowed anything as long as it wasn't illegal. These sort of measures end u

Discoverability is important, but imo there should be a dedicated section for it instead of mixing it with the tweets of the people you actually follow. But on the other hand, people might not really be willing to "switch tabs" an

This whole thing has been rather interesting to observe. I do wonder how the platform will change now that it's privately owned. I don't really care a lot about the platform itself, but it's influence on politics is very real

I would like to use iPhones, they have really good cameras and very good video-recording capabilities. But sadly a lot of the apps I use are not available in the app store. To me, this is a deal breaker. Hardware-wise the product is good, b

It's kind of funny because a lot of the complaints come precisely from people that publish their code through copyleft (such as GPL) licenses. As it is pointed out in the article, sharing is starting to become the default for many deve

Well. Stealing removes the original from the owner, so it's a distinctively different act to copying. You're kind of making the "you wouldn't download a car" argument which personally I always found a bit ridiculous

Just want to say that Discord and Slack do not solve the exact same problem as IRC. And here lies one of the most difficult aspects of protocols versus programs, protocols are much slower to adapt. Discord allows for a ton of functionalitie

It's almost like one of those movies where the protagonist goes "how do we get out of this situation" and someone close to them suggests "this will sound crazy but..."

If it was as simple as you're painting it then it wouldn't be a problem. The fact that it is a problem should indicate to you that there are factors you might not be considering. For example, the logistics to provide plumbing to d

I'll explain it to you. 4k requires relatively expensive equipment and relatively expensive internet connection. So the reasoning is as follows: What's the average income of people interested in 4k streaming? The answer is "o

by jerojero 4y ago
Think of the people who would be interested and who would be able to play 4k. Do they have money? Absolutely. To stream 4k you need a good internet connection and good equipment. With this in mind, it completely makes sense to charge the mo

Personally it feels like any new development always comes with a "and also your data" notice attached to it. That sucks. That sucks a lot. As the article points out, there is this feeling of no longer being in control. That we u

This was actually a pretty good article. Though tiktok's instant gratification might be detrimental to someone's health, there's not denying that the technology behind it is pretty amazing. I do often wonder what would these

I guess the question is: do these measures actually reduce phones getting stolen in a significant manner? If the answer is yes, then, are phones getting stolen more of a problem than phones breaking? We know for sure that phones definitely

Just came to say that the website is terrible. You can barely get any idea of what the protocol actually is or does! I'll have to look more into this, but it seems like a similar idea to ActivityPub? I knew twitter was working on this

That's what you do when you are not at-risk of being a monopoly in a sector. Apple could do these things back then because they were still a relatively small company in the tech sector. But now a days things do start to get more compli

You can spend around ~1000 dollars on a very good zoom lens and a mirrorless camera and get much, much better pictures than whatever the iphone or the pixel could ever give you. I find these sort of articles just so, so stupid. If you'

It seems like you have told us what has happened to twitter? People don't care anymore about the things that made you popular. The userbase that used to follow you has probably moved to different platforms.

Something worth pointing out: Candace Owens' husband owns Parler.
