We still are, the pressures and traits for reproductive success are just unintuitive.

Well ooh la we dah

I think most of the problems we have in society are from isolating and ignoring these communities.

Police think everyone is a crook. Doctors think everyone gets cancer. Mechanics think that every Nissan rogue will have its transmission fail at 100,000km.

It's a perception bias. If I wanna change the mechanics mind, I need to get him out of the shop, into the real world. Let them drive around some rogues who's transmissions DO work.

We basically provide the tools to sequester these communities and are surprised what crawls out of the petri dish.

Anyone using 3 syllables may as well be the queen of England.

Grow-shree

Lol

A lot of our interns and fresh-from-school say S.Q.L. but everyone else is calling it sequel. Usually after a few years even the youth start calling it sequel, in my experience.

Url and at-at are solidly initialisms. SQL has a solid enough argument for being an acronym that I'll accept either.

Garage.

Catch shit for it all the time, but at this point I think it's more like a harmless Easter egg.

My grandma rolls the R in "Three", and it's become a game to get her to say it. She handles it with great humor.

I'm cool to have my own version of that.

There might be consistency in his logic if it's predicated on women being lesser than men. FtM would make sense to someone like that, but MtF would be absurd.

I think a lot of trans hate is really just a manifestation of misogyny.

The internet has always been a grand stage, though. We're like 40 years into this reality at this point.

I think people who came-of-age during Facebook missed that memo, though. It was standard, even explicitly recommended to never use your real name or post identifying information on the internet. Facebook kinda beat that out of people under the guise of "only people you know can access your content, so it's ok". People were trained into complacency, but that doesn't mean the nature of the beast had ever changed.

People maybe deluded themselves that posting on the internet was closer to walking their dog in their neighbourhood than it was to broadcasting live in front of international film crews, but they were (and always have been) dead wrong.

I'd take odds that his mars ambitions are not only what you said, but that he didn't even organically come up with the desire. I'd bet he just saw Total Recall in theaters and walked out and was like "yep, I wanna be the bad guy from that movie"

I am not implying, I am explicitly saying the process of memory recall is error-prone.

And further to the original commenters point, we already have enough understanding of the underlying physical mechanics of memory to be able to say that pass-by-value is a more appropriate analogue to how memory works than pass by reference.

If you fuzz the value of a value by 10%, your value is still within %10 of the original value. The same can not be said for pointers.

That isn't an explanation of how we arrive at an understanding of how memory works. It's just an easily understandable statement for a computer scientist to help "prime the pump" that there may be some low-hanging reasons why thinking of human memory in terms of pointers might not be a great analogue.

If that were the case, you wouldn't just remember things a little wrong, you'd try and recall your name and instead be remembering a field trip you took in 3rd grade.

The other guy is right. Pass by value is a better analogue, and the act of recall actually performs a mutation.

There is a material value in never having to wonder if I'm going to be ordered to print out my most salient code contributions to justify my role to the CEO.

When you're THAT BAD people literally will accept being paid less... The gotcha is that they'll accept it in exchange for never having to deal with your idiotic bullshit again by leaving.

Gee if only there was a way for countries with a surplus of one resource and a deficit of another to exchange their own surplus at some rate for what another country has.

Perhaps even treaty agreements about the rates. The nations could maybe agree on shared intermediary token representing value.

TRump could perhaps even name such a new visionary system of exchange after himself: "TRade"?

We could further honour him by naming the negotiated parameters a "TRade agreement"?

I dunno. This is some fucking bleeding edge international relations concepts, I'm certainly not equipped to wrap my head around such forward thinking.

Why be the president if you can just buy the present? No term limits, no accountability.

It's the art of the deal.

Finland has mandatory civil service. Vast majority of men have done at least a brief period of military service.

This would be much more about skill maintenance than "learning to shoot"

People who are experts in the subject.

Propegandists thrive by trying to convince people that they can't trust anyone, because it makes foolish people believe that every voice carries equal merit.

I was so bad at keeping on top of washing my dishes in Uni that I absolutely decided to have exactly 1 plate, cup, mug,and each cutlery. Can't have more dirty dishes than you have dishes.

What value is a summary when you fully acknowledge that you can not trust it for accuracy?
