From the bottom of the article: “It’s an intriguing result, and it may lend some weight to the MOND hypothesis for further study. But it’s important to keep in mind that so far the bulk of the evidence still points towards dark matter, and

To be fair, it’s probably not Ruby, but the clever linguists I was working with 2008-2012 era. Everyone brought their preferred syntax and there was much less of a “let’s solve the problem, not be clever” sentiment back then. That said, Pyt

The so-called by many, Father of Capitalism, Adam Smith, only defined market in terms of a free labor market. He also wrote that whatever type of government existed in a nation, it would likely need to enforce equality of condition to avoid

Anecdotally, since I got away from Ruby, working on software became way more productive and tolerable. Maybe it was something with the corner of the Ruby world I fell into, but the syntax sugar options and “cleverness” that enabled was madd

Someone old enough to organize and pull off such a sophisticated attack would be around in 65 years? Surely there are shorter paths to ill gotten gains. Like running for political office.

How you can connect a handful of (some college educated) women I know putting their body where they want with men they pick as being anything like a billionaires sex cabal drugging and buying kids from poor parents are at all similar is som

The problem is meritocracy can be gamed to be unfair by selling the perception of improved performance. Giving off a perception of peak performance is trivial for those that know how to shmooze, get that title bump. We see it all the time w

People are hardly working for Google because they want to. People are hardly working in slaughter houses and coal mines because they want to. Feminists I know are selling themselves because they like sex, and controlling their bodies time e

The majority live in urban areas where constant input of human activity is probably making them anxious and insane. I have tinnitus in the city. I go to the mountains and it’s gone. Keeping ratings and quarterly growth up is, to my mind, em

That something, to my mind, is “brand privacy invasive tracking as bringing you free/cheap shit.” It worked for the last decade. They’re doubling down, unaware the dotcom 2.0 bubble is not bursting but being left behind. Apple shipping

Well, you asked so... Sacrifice time at digital “salons” and non-essential economic activity. When 40% of jobs are work from home, strike is a matter of closing a laptop. Jumping straight to lock and load is ridiculous. SOPA blackout and te
