You can't just "suggest" something in a PR, you have to provide the change.

That has nothing to do with a stable fitness function ... an external set of factors that determine which changes allow offspring to survive. This thing doesn't have offspring (or always has exactly one offspring and then the parent di

No, it doesn't work anything like this. > One might argue it's actually much more curated than Wikipedia Well duh. It's vastly more "curated" since Wikipedia isn't curated at all, almost anyone can change an

It's not possible to generate anything productive this way.

It really can't for numerous reasons, one of them being that PRs have to be fairly low effort, and this will be even more so if the popular "merge daily" PR is voted in. People talk about this "evolving", but it&#x2

You're changing the subject from how you misrepresented why Snowden ended up in Russia. I won't engage further with someone acting in bad faith.
759.
by jibal 10mo ago
Your comment is indeed very telling. He ended up in Russia because the U.S. revoked his visa while en route to Ecuador so he was forced to live in a Russian airport for 6 weeks.

You seriously don't know what a definition is ... care isn't adequate in the presence of incompetence. Intentions can be inferred ... it's done all the time (and bad faith is not strictly a matter of intention--people can arg

> IIUC the join with the bacteria is the explanation of the mitochondria (and later chloroplast). But it does not explain the nuclei that is weird too. You're right ... my mistake.

by jibal 10mo ago
I don't agree that it is either unfalsifiable or unproductive. And even if it is unfalsifiable, it's not "by definition"--so often that phrase is misused to add an aura of authority, but there's no tautology here.

Perhaps someone in such a position should not be confident about their understanding of what they think they are observing.

The article discusses the (highly speculative) hypothesis that eukaryotes arose from a virus merging with an archaeal ancestor to form a nucleus. If the hypothesis is false (it is widely believed that eukaryotes arose from a joining of ar

"Better health begins on your plate—not in your medicine cabinet." This is an extraordinarily dangerous false dichotomy and misrepresentation. This government is killing people.

> my experience Whoosh. And the person I responded to generalized your experience to: California is so bad he'll never live there, ignoring all the data points of people who love living in California and the many reasons to want to.

His "experience" is an irrelevant anecdote. Millions upon millions of Californians have had no trouble getting their real ID.

by jibal 10mo ago
Whataboutism says a great deal about a person and the evaluation of their thought processes and the validity of their statements.

Whataboutism is a fallacy.

The "whataboutism" accusation is absurd--that's not even remotely an example of it. All my comment was about was editorial insertions of biased loaded language into a supposed news report. And I didn't say that the U.S.
