Things that computers are gradually making irrelevant, no? Can a copy machine eventually supplant computers? Of course not. Copy machines don't have a fraction of the functionality of a computer obviously.

Isn't gene expression dependent on environment though? Is there some reason to believe that these differences are inherent, and not the result of gene expression being affected by the environment?

...pathetic, thanks. I work freelance film production. I get calls for work at random hours and if I don't respond quickly that offer can expire. I also work on high-pressure, quick turnaround jobs a lot, and part of the deal as a fr

Being available for work is part of my "human experience." edit- I really don't understand why this is downvote worthy...

Did anybody read the article?? One of the most important factors was staying in the fetal position- he even lost consciousness at times and was saved by a floatation device that kept his head above water.

It was all about the interface for me- and the fact that I could turn the volume up / down, and play / pause through the outside of my pants pocket. That was THE killer feature.

Less than half of the world uses a smartphone, which I think would be necessary for BC transactions, would it not?

Right, recognizing race is one of the most important factors in deciding your status in this country is racist. Pretending race doesn't exist isn't racist. Again, you guys are so laughably out of touch. This is a poe's-law

What types of diversity can you have amongst racially, socially, and economically homogenous people? What are you talking about? What is your grand, open-minded idea that ignores what actual diversity is?
228.
by lobf 9y ago
You have kind of an absurd definition of diversity.

I've seen data about the right becoming more extreme, can you point to any similar data about the left?

Why is that ideal? Social media censors dangerous / disruptive (to the community) shit all the time, which is appropriate IMO.

Race and socioeconomic status are two of the most important factors in your probability of success in the US. Ignoring them makes you look willfully ignorant of your privileged position in society. There's little / no correlation

by lobf 9y ago
What ethnic / socioeconomic background are most people here from? You're really grabbing on to physical location to justify ignoring the fact that that person is perfectly representative of most of the folks here.

I grew up in a town of 6k and we were the big one in 20 miles. 40k is suburban IMO. Edit- and I was ridiculing the idea that the mention of a wealthy, homogenous suburb indicates how inclusive this community is. Pretty much every story here

I take it to mean any place that isn't urban but also isn't rural.

The idea that you're calling middle class suburban experience "diversity..." woo boy.
237.
by lobf 9y ago
White middle class suburbanites aren't well represented on internet forums? Don't mean to be negative, it's just insane how insular and specific this community is and how little recognition that is given here.

Fortunately reddit is banning communities that advocate violence, not communities with certain sets of politics. It just so happens that there's a major overlap of political views to inciting violence. Even the first amendment recogniz
