I'll take real professional journalism over amateur internet commentary any day.

This is a /r/selfawarewolves-tier post. Bravo.

Anytime I hear people generically blaming "The Media" for everything I just roll my eyes.

My post outlined multiple specific instances where the media dropped the ball. It by definition is not "generically blaming."

The madness that is overlay networking and other brainfuck networking stacks that are normalized now due to Kubernetes and Docker are horrific. Moving to micro-VMs with each one having it's own unique IP and leveraging basic networking has paid us off in spades.

Which is exactly why there's a gigantic push for gender ideology, whiteness studies, and other grievance studies. Those steeped in the ideology are truly uneducated and will vote for those pushing these beliefs. They're pro-open immigration so the better workers will flood in, and the more diverse the workplace, the less likely they are to unionize.(https://www.jstor.org/stable/24810295).

It's a win/won for the capitalist owner class.

It feels like I'm reading a mentally ill extremelly schizophrenic write-up on the recent sudo vulnerabilities

It doesn't feel like it, you are. You are reading a mentally ill extremely schizophrenic write-up on the recent sudo vulnerabilities

I asked a friend who just left med school. He laughed and said yes there's lots of evidence supporting this in his profession alone.

I just asked a friend who is a professor of medicine. She laughed and said no there's no evidence supporting this in her profession alone.

He suggested you pick up a copy of "Principles of Transgender Medicine and Surgery" ISBN 1138857009 which was a required for one of his courses.

A book that covers transgender care for mentally ill men doesn't magically make them female. They are still human males, and will always be human males.

It has hundreds of references by MDs,PHDs and the like on the medical side alone.

None of the MDs disagree with the fact that "gender affirming care" is for human males or females, and their biology is most definitely male or female. The grievance studies PhDs are not experts in science.

He did agree that quantity is not quality and recommended to use "Directory of Open Access Journals" to access a large amount of peer reviewed research that does establish the science.

There are none that establish "the science", there is no science backing any of it. Again, grievance studies papers are not science.

You should contact everyone referenced in the book/research papers and let them know they're incorrect

"You should contact Hitler and Goebbels and let them know they're incorrect about the Jews."

Having an open mind to learn more information is not a weakness

I agree.

I work in data science adjacent and it's fascinating to see new information being uncovered all the time that does fill in missing information about everything we know - or don't know.

Data science is not biology. There is no missing information. Humans are mammals, humans are sexually dimorphic and produce two gametes. The earth is round, not flat.

Er, no.

Er, yes.

While you may believe what you wish, the scientific AND medical AND psychological community disagrees with your assertion.

No they don't. "Scientific" is meaningless here, grievance studies are not science. Medical field deals with male and female humans, such is basic biology still taught in all university medical schools. Current medical books also cover male and female specific physiology (because there are only two types).

There's more research happening into it in the past 10 years than in the past 100 years with some interesting research.

Quantity != quality. There were a lot of publications in the USSR that stated genetics was a false Western ploy.

Unfortunately people are operating off 50+ years of knowledge

Some basic findings and facts don't change. The fact that we're carbon based organisms is 50+ old. The fact that we're sexually dimorphic mammals is 50+ year old.

elementary schools or via religion.

Yes, Newchurch is definitely working this way.

I don't expect this is an area of study for you, so that's probably why you're not aware of these advances.

There are no advances. You don't need to concentrate in an "area of study" to understand the fact that humans are sexually dimorphic. Grievance studies are not an "expert" field.

At one point in time people thought the earth was flat or that people were only righthanded. I'm glad to part of the scientific community that embraces increasing knowledge regardless of how it challenges preconcieved notions.

And that science was settled decades/centuries ago, much like the fact that humans are male/female mammals. Thanks for making this point for me.

Regardless, your claims relating to Lysenko are extremely hyperbolic at best

No at all, they're spot on.

There's lots of evidence going back to egyptian times supporting the science behind this.

No there isn't. There isn't any science behind this to begin with.

Unfortunately most people only see the surface level sound bites thrown out in the media and make up their mind based on that - or what their own religion has pushed forward.

Exactly right.

I suspect that fifty years from now we will have built on all the existing knowledge (including historical) and have a more refined understanding put together.

Hopefully we'll continue with the knowledge of science based biological facts that are no longer in vogue: humans are a dimorphic species that come in male in female. That is what science has taught us.

There were multiple car lengths of room when the Tesla started merging. The other car was so far back it wasn't close to the blindspot. Americans do not adjust their speed or following distance to the conditions. They drive like they have some sort of right to a road free of obstructions and to drive at the speed limit or above, no matter the circumstances.

The Tesla had its turn signal on for a solid 5 seconds before impact. I blame the asshole that was in the far left lane going way too fast and not slowing down (just letting off the accelerator when the Tesla signalled would have prevented the accident) when someone is trying to enter. Then they brake way too late. Everyone behind that first vehicle is also to blame for following too closely at too fast of a speed and braking too late.

Voltage to residential main electrical service panels in the United States is 240V. Major appliances run on 240V circuits.

So when you install a 400A panel in the US, it's 400A*240V which is 96,000W.

In Africa for sure. People kept digging up phone lines and phone infrastructure to sell the copper. Service was always down, or spotty at best. Cell sites were easier to secure (they're defended like military installations, razor wire and all) from scavengers, and you need a lot less of them to service a large number of people.

Well, if you want to know why some people are rear ending a Tesla, it's because it's far more unpredictable than a human driver.

How unpredictable is a solid 5 seconds of the Tesla signaling it's lane change then slowing down? I blame the asshole that was in the far left lane going way too fast and not slowing down (just letting off the accelerator when the Tesla signalled would have prevented the accident) when someone is trying to enter. Then they brake way too late. Everyone behind that first vehicle is also to blame for following too closely at too fast of a speed.

If I collect the dust from your car, I can (in abstract) place where it's been with 99% accuracy too.

If you picked the dust from a person you could make this exact same discovery.

That doesn't mean if it has pollens from one place or another that it's significant in any meaningful way, or that you can make statements about a car based on that.

You can make statements on where they've been, but not what they are. You can look into a car and see it's a V-6 with a CVT, and you can make a lot of statements on its actual performance, how large it is, how it accelerates, etc. This is the same as looking at the DNA of a person.

Most of the differences we know about account for things like skin color (which, in turn depends on vitamin D versus cancer for a given latitude), local diseases immunity, and similar things. Some account for random things which have no impact on natural selection (e.g. aesthetic details like hair color or thickness).

And height, and lactose intolerance, and how well alcohol is digested, and baldness, and everything that makes a human human.

We have no evidence for things related to personality, intelligence

This is extremely wrong. Intelligence is something like 70% inherited, it is directly related to your DNA. Tendencies between groups for suffering from things such as schizophrenia are also inheritable and different between races and smaller ethnic groups.

or anything associated with classic constructs of race and racism

There are generally true statements to make between different ethnic groups, and different races that still match classic constructs: East Asians are more likely to be lactose intolerable, Black Americans are more likely to have sickle cell, Ashkenazi Jews are more likely to be schizophrenic, White Europeans are more likely to suffer from melanoma, etc.

In fact, the genetic variation within a racial group is often greater than the variation between racial groups, meaning that people who are considered to be part of the same race can be more genetically diverse than people who are considered to be part of different races.

Funny to see it repeating the debunked (but regime approved) Lewontin's Fallacy almost verbatim. There's a reason why a DNA test is 99+% accurate at identifying your ancestry down to 500 mile radii from genetic markers alone. From there you can make generally true statements about "race" (European, Sub-Saharan African, East Asian, etc.).
