Yeah I mean it's smart to do everything in your power to annihilate all workers rights, if you could turn them into slaves that would be ideal.

Why is reducing suffering ethical? When you squash a bug does it suffer? Most lie and say it doesn't, because the exact chemical signals aren't there, but if you could ask the bug it would not want to be crushed. What about plants

Editor and tooling has been flame bait since vim and emacs and you're just stoking the flames. The idea that VS Code is for "green" development only is flatly false, I've used it to work on and debug GCC, hardly green. T

That twitter thread reeks of bias, I couldn't finish or take it seriously at all. If you want to convince me of something don't go around painting people as evil capitalist masterminds...

What concerns? Most people don't care because they feel that the ship has sailed, the mistake is set in the concrete. Transitioning thus becomes the biggest conceivable concern for me. What are the other possible concerns? The only com

>You need to be rich (kind of) to be able to have a minimalist lifestyle. The same goes with reading. This is the second time I've seen someone make this claim and the second time I'll refute it: Minimalism is not a rich-specif

The issue with stereotypes is the same issue with comparing IQs between subsets of the population: averages do not work when its one individual applying it to another individual. Variance is very high with humans, and the idea that your Unc

This really highlights the underlying problem. People don't have an unhealthy attachment to sex. Who cares if Chinese children are being over worked and under paid to make your iPhone, but God forbid there be even one sex worker who is

I definitely think there is a grain of truth to everything you've said, but I do have to comment that the diction used is a bit dramatic. For instance, I 100% agree that the posted document is how the PI views himself, without question

I think your perspective is very pragmatic and reasonable. However, I think it still highlights only the _worst_ kinds of advisers, and if we're talking about looking out for your own self interests, then picking a good adviser is your

That's all well and good, but PhD students have zero incentive to do this, and the blog would likely go completely ignored anyway. Not only does a blog post not help you graduate but in order for anyone to care about the results posted

Auto type is much worse, never use an auto type feature, it can easily fall prey to insertion in hidden input fields.

HoTT changes what equal means. In order for univalence to work you must be comfortable with arbitrary code running to perform the necessary substitutions. Isomorphism isn't for free, you can do some fancy cast-conversions (where cast i

Man you must think the field of astronomy is full of only quacks then, it's got climate as a subsystem!

Your take is dripping with bias. Everyone who had any sense wanted a lockdown with business stimulus, there is no reason these externalities needed to be bad in any capacity. Sacrificing lives because the Republican party is okay with it is

Your second and third suggestions will literally kill all research at anything but the most prestigious universities. It is elitism. Graduate students are not always RAs, they're usually not. They often teach, so you're not giving

I think there should be two pools of money, one that is granted at random to anyone who has obtained a professorship at a university, let that be the first filter for competency. The second pool of money can be given to projects that have i

Nothing like a two step plan where the first step alone would cause a wide divide in educational opportunity between the wealthy and the poor and the second step is a half baked attempt to fix the obvious problems with the first despite it

All you've said is that labor market is fundamentally flawed in terms of price efficiency.

You are misrepresenting this and spewing some garbage perspective about how work should operate. Hours put in is completely pointless and an old win by unions to prevent companies from further exploitation of workers. If you can do 6x the w

It is assigned. I wouldn't expect the right-leaning HN crowed to understand the basics behind the science, but when a person is intersex and is magically assigned male that is not an observation. Moreover, what you're really sayin

I like how brush under the rug menopause, as if making your point where you say "except for this obvious exception that makes this statement unequivocally false!" The word "women" has always referred to female assigned s

The answer is yes. Being an "expert" in one field does not make an expert in another. Knowing how to perform brain surgery does not make you an authority on vaccines. This should be obvious.

Where your doctor friends virologists? Doctors are some of the worst people to ask, in my opinion, about what to do if they do not have subject expertise. They have just enough knowledge to speak authoritatively and not nearly enough subjec

I imagine any religious text will change your life if you do what it says, the implication that what it says is good is dubious.

Who is pretending? Your very own analogy is a great argument in favor: Use linters! It's your personal problem if you think the rest of us assume that solves a bigger problem.

Asking new PhD students to change culture is like asking Entry-Level Developers to change the management culture of Google.

I agree with your sentiment but you're arguing to the wrong audience. This is the same place that, despite any real evidence, has a user base that aggressively defended the usage of hydroxychloroquine. Perhaps it's a simple matte
