Author is one step away from the realization that Capitalism is the culprit, and technology is just the vector.

The further you look in the sky, the further back in time you are looking as well – there is no way to see what far way looks like “right now”. This image shows the visible universe as it appears from our perspective in spacetime, which necessarily smears together the “where”, “what”, and “when” of it all, but also shows the evolution through time of some of the larger structures.

The tendril things that converge into single celestial objects are clouds of gas condensing to form galaxies and clusters over billions of years.

I’m not familiar with this interface, but it looks to me like it is saying Google was doing the tracking. Could this be tracking attempts made from a web view opened while using Sync, and not the actual Sync app itself? I want so badly to believe they are more privacy conscious than that. Love the app, been using it since it first came out for Reddit. Solo dev IIRC.

Sorry but no? “Voters” means the same thing in both cases, that’s how statistics works. You take a small subset of people and try to control for as much as possible to make it an accurate representation of the greater population. Nobody actually knows what Voters in the abstract think if they don’t vote or answer polls

Yes. And the original poll estimated that 41% of voters under 30 approved of Mangione’s actions. My point is statistics are more valuable and informative when you try your best to compare apples to apples.

Yes but a more direct comparison would be to voters under 30. Around 46% of 18-29 yr. olds supported Trump.

I am not in academia but did participate in published research both in college and in a job as a lab assistant afterward. I don’t really think your analogy holds up. There is literally no cost to such a change; scientists just need to start READING and CITING papers from free, alternative journals for them to be legitimized. The profit incentives of the universities, private industry, and government that fund the majority of research are not affected by the choice of the medium of exchange of ideas. Only the journals’ pockets.

Ok I simply don’t understand how the same means and methods used by the free and open source software community have not been employed here. These are smart people! Just start your own damn free journal service, found a council and tap some industry-leading researchers in some common fields to start reviewing papers.

I mean, having one in ten of your fellow soldiers murdered by their own commander is pretty horrific, and I think that’s the spirit of its modern usage.

Don’t fall into their trap. It is important to point out that it isn’t antisemitic either way, because your assertion had absolutely nothing to do with her religious or ethnic background.

Lol idk why but I find it so funny that you are speaking English with French nouns.

It’s fine that you don’t understand. I know plenty of non-religious people who were able to find their own meaning in those words

It takes conscious effort to be in touch with your deeper thoughts and emotions, so in a sense yes. Not everything that is known to the self is known to the conscious mind. Didn’t think that would be controversial.

Dunno what you’re on about, makes complete sense to me. Just requires some mental flexibility.

It’s simpler than all that. Satanists would say God is just You, or some version of yourself that is all the things you wish you could be. The fact that you are there praying means you have a good idea of what needs to change, and are searching for the strength within yourself.

It’s a handy way to convert any value to a Boolean. If window.chrome is defined and done non-empty value, double negation turns it into just true.

Yes! I am a bit out of it and my vision feels kinda lazy for like 48 hours after NyQuil.

What part about our reaction, or Luigi’s, is stupid? Is it maybe, just maybe, totally justifiable anger?

Does it? It’s not a brag, I don’t think it’s particularly cool or interesting. It just means I heard it from the horse’s mouth and it is absolutely happening barring new legal action.

You can (and I do) rebind the modifier keys in System Preferences. Makes it a lot comfier to use a Mac and another machine with the same keyboard via KVM switch.
