• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has the scientific community ever reconciled with the fact global warming is going to happen and there is no stopping it?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There are different fields of science. In my field (water resources), any scientist that is reasonable knows the climate change is happening, you can see it in any data that spans for last 50 years. We’re focused on how to deal with it, given it’ll get worse. All the future scenarios (from simulations) are worse than history, there’s less worse and more worse depending on how people will act. But I think even the worst case did not have “world war” into consideration. So we might have wayy worse than our predictions. But again, predicting future is hard, there could be effects that we’re not expecting. Specially the current geopolitical scenario when climate change (and greed) is making life hard leading into authoritative regimes which is making it worse on top of previous policies. Which exceeds the linear growth pattern used in the simulations.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We hardly remember how our parents raised us when we were newborn/infants. How can we be expected to raise our own kids after they are born ?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is one of the things I don’t understand about west, Grandparents and family are a big part of raising children in Asia. Anyone with their first baby will be confused, and won’t know what to do if they have never done it before.

  How it works in Asia (at least my culture),

  • Grandparents teach and take care of baby, letting the mother rest and breastfeed. They have seen and gone through multiple baby raising themselves,
  • other siblings help, even younger siblings, that means when it’s their turn they also have some idea and experience on the matter,
  • you also help with cousins and other people occasionally, so even the eldest children have some experience with babies,
  • many communities have volunteers that help with new moms on new suggestions from government. Like when we changed from carrying baby on the back, to carrying them in the front for warmth and safety. So this balances tradition with new knowledge on what is best.

  This is the knowledge transfer part. There is the whole part where this support means a lot for recovering mothers.

  Smart people only ‘gamble’ when the rules benefits them.

  Good luck with everything. Go at your own pace, hosting is just leaving a computer on. Add more things as you need and that’s all there is in my opinion. But of course you’ll learn security, backups, and other things as you need.

  Did you not get the memo? In the US of A, your parents’ house is not your house. Some people literally evict their children because they’re not legally required to care for them anymore after 18.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are people disconnecting or destroying their Ring cameras?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  During Superbowl I was talking with a software guy working for a big shopping ( data) company, he was telling us how every interaction on their website is recorded for data analysis, and his own wife was shocked. It came up after I prompted for that conversation, talking about the license plate tracking in parking lots (which she didn’t know about).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I just explain but starting how you can email gmail from Outlook and such ( familiar concept). Then tell them you could email a Facebook account using username@facebook.com (this shows they were open to it at some point), that it was a default state of things because they wanted you connected. But then they realized they can make you sign up to their own website and make more money, so now we need account for everything. But imagine you didn’t, you could access different contents in the UI/format you want. You don’t need to share screenshots of different social media (shows why it’s useful), you could just follow different people from different websites.

  So far this explanation has worked. I haven’t converted anyone, but they understand. Sometimes they try to install and see, then say “the things I want are not here” because we don’t have all the niche

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that radishes are fucking amazing. They improve heart health and are full of Sulforaphene, a powerful anti-cancer substance. They contain almost no calories⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I like radishes, raw and pickled. And it used to be very cheap food. But in US it’s really expensive. I wish we could just grow stuffs freely. Radishes are ready in 2-3 months if grown.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Taste the flavor⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It is to ward off mammals. Their goal is to be eaten by birds, birds can’t taste capsaicin, so it’s just normal food. And birds distribute the seeds.

  Why didn’t we just have people that apply for grants, then people who work on research. Of course the person that applies for the grant should be familiar with the capabilities, and verify the proposal is sound before applying.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Office has been renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app”⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In that case you can probably find someone for $100-200 that’ll check your excel logic and make sure it works on libre office. Or python script

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Office has been renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app”⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  How much do you pay? Maybe you can pay someone to write you a custom program to do those things. Maybe in libre office, or python, or some other language with gui and plots.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If we ever find a planet with life in it, we could never set foot on it, because the interaction of the two biologies can have unpredictable consequences⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And risk wiping the life on that planet? Considering something like that happened to native population in America, I guess people don’t care.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We shouldn't have to go to college in order to afford a house by 30.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Rather, it puts you in debt. And now you have even less power. We should normalize everyone being able to live and not force college on everyone. But also make it free/super cheap so people can attend if they want without having to suffer financially

  I feel like nowadays the bots are actually really good in English because of LLMs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jesus hates American "Christians"⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean if you believe in God knowing everything and everything is happening because of his will then that gives you the ability to rationalize everything, doesn’t it?

  Oh you have cancer? God gave it to you, if you didn’t deserve it he’s have cured it. Done, use that everywhere: poor, homeless, immigrant, race, sick, traffic, lightening, flood, airplane crash, school shooting, …

  That’s why blind faith is dangerous. And the idea of afterlife because they just do whatever now.

  War against education

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd #3148: 100% All Achievements⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Minimum payment is dependent on your salary and you can die with debt.

  Making education free would have been way better that making college expensive and then providing loans.

  Wouldn’t all simulation have bugs, or all be bugs free. It’s the same code you’re running.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's been downhill since 2020⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This was going on under the surface all this time, growing and growing, people just did not see it as a valid concern thinking “crazy people” or “stupid people” will “come around eventually”. They did not expect there’d be enough of them to pull the carriage backwards.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨protein!⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you find half a worm, you just spit it out, cut/bite out the wormy part and continue. Can’t throw the whole fruit. Although the worms I remember in guava make hard shells around them as they eat, so most times you bite into it, know immediately, and throw that part.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Im an unworthy Fraud when it comes to Tech⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s mot boring though. You just have to find things. I see so many interesting projects, and so many interesting ideas that I want to implement but run into time/skill issues. Summer is when I can just forget about other things and develop what I want, but I think after university I won’t have much time at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Brave browser blocks Windows feature that takes screenshots of everything you do on your PC⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly, how do you even fight with the OS except just making it bit hard for them lol. You have to tell the OS what pixels to put in the screen, there’s literally no way you can hide things from the OS if they want to know.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨you don't know me⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Wow I have opposite problem. I don’t like reading papers that much. And while I do write I don’t like to spend too much time there either, so I just end up procrastinating by making new things with plots, analysis, codes, helper scripts and such.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do dams pregame?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Flood control is very close to my area of research. My research involves effect of dams on river water and I don’t get to talk about it often, so it was fun. But I haven’t actually worked on a dam control or made policies, so my work is more theoretical what ifs.
