Sounds like he just doesn't want to have sex with his wife. That's pretty gay.

I've been following this situation. This article leaves out a ton of relevant info. Here's some more details in no particular order:

• The assignment had nothing to do with transgenderism. It was to read and discuss an academic paper about socially enforced gender norms (e.g., bullying the tomboy for not wearing makeup).
• The instructor is a grad student.
• The same day the student filed the complaint, a second grader (a professor I think) re-graded the paper and confirmed the original grade.

Someone I follow on another platform pointed out that this looks suspiciously like a setup to stoke outrage and media attention.

• Samantha Fulnecky is a junior and this is a freshman course.
• This section of the course is the only section taught by a transwoman.
• The assignment is not a meaningful part of the grade. Think of it as a weekly assignment, not a major paper or exam.
• Samantha's mother is a lawyer and conservative activist known for representing two Jan 6ers and for fighting COVID-related mandates. She has been in national news before.
• Samantha & mother contacted media outlets the same day Samantha filed the complaint (the regrade happened that same day too).

Edit: sorry, didn't mean to reply to the previous comment. This was meant to be a top-level comment. I've reposted

Hmm, I dunno if that's a fair comparison. That house might be structurally sound and just look weird.

I'm mostly a lurker. I've also been selfhosting for at least a decade, and I'm a professional in the IT sphere.

I wholeheartedly support this rule change. Hardware is a big part of selfhosting/home labs. And for some people, it's a hard leap to make.

If we end up seeing lots of redundant posts (e.g. "Can I use my old laptop to host stuff?"), we can always start an FAQ or something. But until and unless it becomes a problem, keeping the rule simple sounds perfect.

The bigger deal is how many customers will react worse if you engage with them in any way. If that weren't the case, pointing to the hours, shaking your head, etc, would be reasonable.

Greece is one of the most corrupt countries in Europe. They don’t respect driving laws. They openly throw trash in the streets. They smoke right in front of “Please don’t smoke here” signs.

For pedantry's sake, these aren't examples of corruption. In order for it to be "corruption," there has to be someone in a position of power who is misusing their power. ::: spoiler definition [0] "Corruption is a form of dishonesty or a criminal offense that is undertaken by a person or an organization that is entrusted in a position of authority to acquire illicit benefits or abuse power for one's gain." (wikipedia)). :::

Some examples of corruption would be:

• Bribing a public servant to get better service (link)
• Fraud and money laundering (link
• Bribing a politician to win state contracts or improve terms of existing contracts (link 1, link 2)

I've worked with spectrometers and on spectrometry design before, and that quote from the article is intelligible. It's also pretentious and poorly explained.

RFID tracking would be my first guess. If you want to know where a tag is, you need multiple readers. Are they roughly in a grid pattern?

A second guess, are there e-ink tags in this store? These might be repeaters for programming those.

Which isn't to say there can't be leftist antisemites. But it does seem like a lot of anti genocide people are unjustly treated as antisemitic.

Two different concepts.

You're talking about work slowing because of increased overhead from more people needing to communicate and make decisions.

The OP is talking about the"bus factor". How many people can leave the project unexpectedly and still have the project survive. E.g. if only one person has access to merge changes, the bus factor is 1 regardless of how many people actively contribute.

You worked there as an intern? In your field, do people expect to move from intern to full-time employee? If not, "the internship ended."

One small correction. You switched units. You started with Watt-hours (kWh, energy) and then switched to Watts (GW, power). With the right units, it's even more dramatic.

There are an average of about 730 hours in a month. If a home consumes 1000 kWh per month, that's an average of 1.3 kW. If we divide 9 GW by 1.3kW, we get 6.9 million.

So this data center will use the same amount of energy as over 6 million homes. For reference, Utah has a population of 3.5 million (total people, not total number of homes).

Here's another way of comparing the numbers. If this new data center uses 9 GW of power 24/7, that's an about 6,500 GWh per month, or a little under 79,000 GWh per year.

In 2025, Utah produced a new record of over 35,000 GWh.

So this data center would more than triple the amount of energy produced in 2025.

Whether they're directly caused by an ADHD neurotype or not, all those things are associated with ADHD

To pick one at random, Rejection Sensitive Disphoria (RSD) is often found with people who have ADHD. People dealing with RSD often imagine rejection where none was intended. That includes reading negative feelings into text messages, conversations, etc.

(CAVEAT: I am not an expert. This is not my professional field. This is speculation from someone who has ADHD and is around ADHD kids) I don't know if there's good research out there or not about RSD+ ADHD, but I suspect RSD is conditioned. Growing up with ADHD, you get a lot of negative feedback from people. You aren't paying attention well enough, you're often clumsy, you often say the wrong things at the wrong time, etc. With enough of that sort of feedback, developing negative self talk which turns into full RSD sounds like a natural outcome.

I largely agree, but one situation I can think of where condensing the work makes sense is experienced professionals who already meet the learning outcomes. Their goal is to prove that they know the material, then have a degree to show as proof, not to actually learn the material.

It's the "adventure of a lifetime."

IIRC, there's a harder, trusted process for measurement. But an easier method that has gained widespread adoption, and that method is what has been called into question.

The easiest damages would be the cost of attending (conference tickets, travel, hotel). If there was reputational damage, that's harder to prove but the conference could be liable for that. Seeing how many vocal supporters they have, reputational damage would be hard to prove

It's hard to prove the blanket statement, "there are no good reasons to have a private jet." But it's easy to prove, "one overpaid person taking a private jet to commute 1000 miles is frivolous."

I'm not surprised. I have no idea what their specific situation was, but I've known a couple people going through the green card process. And each was its own brand of long, painful, and expensive.
