Was disappointed when I realized the author was not an actual doctor.

Do you remember what they were called?

Wrong how? Skewed R?

If he knew they were going to kill him why did he let them visit?

the signs of this type of person are pretty obvious in retrospect

What are the signs?

Why not just name the paper :)

some other N. American immigration hypotheses (eg, that pleistocene peoples could make boats)].

Why were they so opposed to this? You can't leave us hanging...

EDIT: ok and why is this at -1??

Fake story -- that's way too fast.

Yeah it’s all about the 3rd party who gets insulted. I have one friend whose brother is disabled and he’s told me off for using it, which I get. Transgression is part of the appeal of curse words

I agree it’s rude but banning a discord of 50k people just for that is highly sus

So calling someone R*** is not allowed but calling them shit-for-brains is, though the intended meaning is pretty much the same.

From what I understand, Parler was bankrolled and designed to do exactly what it was ultimately shutdown for. That is, be a concentrated anger-machine-echo-chamber. I'm not angry at the public corporations that have dropped Parler. I'm angry at the people that created Parler in the first place.

Where did you get this understanding? Seriously. My understanding was that the founders were mostly anti-trump libertarians.

Ok, now I really wanna see a photo.

He does have the disclaimer

how much of this nuance is achieved by having discussions about issues which have real life-or-death impacts on people but without having any of those people inconveniently present?

Uh, not much? This comment seems to be assuming some weird things about what the blog typically focuses on. Actually, he writes about trans issues a bit, got some flack for defending Blanchard, and a large fraction of the readership is trans.

The test has actually changed over the years and since people made a stink about the oarsman question, they’ve been more careful to reduce cultural bias (though I’m not convinced it was ever that bad in the first place). It is basically a canard at this point.

What are you saying "No" to? This article says it may have been from the 80s?

Talking about the Oarsman-regatta thing? That was 2 decades ago...

That and... the war

Just because it's not engineered doesn't mean it didn't come from a lab. It could be a natural virus that was collected and escaped. The original SARS escaped no less than 3 times from chinese labs following the outbreak.

Strange indeed.

You said your test kit arrived already? What does it look like?

Yeah, and it's not listed... in the actual FDA database.

Until recently there were sites selling contact lenses (like visiondirect.co.uk) that would flaunt this rule, but visiondirect was recently being investigated for it so YMMV.

Yeah, after digging into it more I saw that. Doesn't explain the missing FDA number though which is quite sketchy.

Seems to be a scam. If you look up their FDA registration number nothing shows up.

The biggest pain point with the theory was its handling of equality, which HoTT fixes.

Ergonomically.. well it's hard to describe TBH, the easiest way to see is to just download one of these systems and try using them. You try to prove a theorem and everything just ends up taking way longer than you'd expect. Mostly because you can't gloss over small details the way mathematicians will do informally. Every small turn of phrase like "for large enough N" or "without loss of generality" can become dozens of extra lines of code.

The answer is simple: these systems aren't mature enough to formalize the modern fashionable math. They need better ergonomics and perhaps better underlying theory before we attempt that.

being very expensive

Oof, madison is pretty "hot" these days.

I assume the explore-every-corner-of-the-map thing he was doing made it hard to make money

Most Americans can't even afford a $500 surprise bill[0].

EVE costs money wikipedia doesn't?
