If everyone had the same capacity for achieving greatness, why are there so few geniuses? Do you think everyone is capable of the same level of greatness?

Stack Overflow is the new Yahoo Answers

Lots of "can you google this for me" and copy/pasted content from other original sources without context or attribution

I want the most talented and skilled people performing their best at what they are most talented and skilled at. That's how you make progress. I fail to see how that harms anyone, and certainly not everyone.

Or you could incentivize building up? That'd be a lot easier and wouldn't create more hideous sprawl.

The multitasking functions are very confusing, as are the new multi-finger gestures for performing undo/copy/paste etc. Nothing is obviously discoverable either, it all feels accidental at best, though that's been the case since they removed depth from the UI.

Wasn't the promise of iPad that it was much easier than a Mac or PC? I don't find that to be the case.

Anyway, I use mine as a couch browser. I still can't find a heavier use case for it.

Did you have a specific event that caused your injury, that led you to do your own research in that direction?

And are you hypothesizing that your injury may be related to prior fluoroquinolone use?

Proper diagnosis is hard, and most doctors are generalists rather than specialists. A common medical aphorism is "When you hear hooves, think of horses not zebras".

Health and time are the two biggest things people take for granted, particularly when they're young

Humans are squandering arguably one of the most important medical advancements in history, and ultimately it will be human health that pays for it when they stop working for us entirely.

That's because opioids remain the single most effective pain treatment that humans have available. People have been using them for 4000+ years, they have a long track record of efficacy (and safety).

Managing pain with opioids is not much different than managing diabetes with insulin. I realize the media mania and moral panic doesn't convey that because it doesn't fit the hype narrative, but there is a huge difference between medical patients and drug abusers.

Is AR this generations VR? Full of promises and fantasy, but all of which is far from being usable or practical at any mainstream level.

To lose weight, eat fewer calories than you expend.

To gain weight, eat more calories than you expend.

It's that simple. This is basic physics, weight gain and loss is not complicated.

Antibiotic resistant is a huge problem that is only going to keep growing. Unfortunately very few new drugs are in the pipeline because they aren't particularly profitable to develop.

It's not even that thin, there are thinner PC laptops with better specs, and ports, and great (and reliable) keyboards.

Still has the unreliable keyboard

Still has the annoying Touch Bar

Still doesn't have a physical ESC key

Still has an annoying port situation requiring a half dozen dongles

Still is no user serviceable RAM / SSD / battery

= Still not a "Pro" laptop

Agreed, the Touch Bar is a hassle at best. They should at least make it optional.

Huge mistake. The Touch Bar is a bad user experience.

Pro users need a physical ESC and F keys, that seems fairly obvious.

I don't know a single person who likes these keyboards or the Touch Bar.

Anyone else reminded of similar news from years past?

> What email client loads images by default in 2019?

Most do. You have to turn it off manually.

Do you really think all power imbalances suck?

Should a 2 year old have equal say in household decision making as their 32 year old parent?

Should a first year med student who wanders into a patients room have equal sway in patient care as a specialist attending physician?

Should an intern be able to make decisions that a CEO typically makes?

Nature is largely hierarchical.

Are these actual reporting and investigate journalism jobs?

Or are these the type of "journalism" jobs that produce all of the endless "16 cat pics you won't believe" and anger/outrage clickbait rubbish?

The former is very important, whereas the latter won't be missed by anyone and shouldn't even be considered journalism.

Wait, are there really people who think the flat design trend is "pretty" ?

I guess there isn't much design needed in services and upselling of services anyway

This should be the URL posted, not anything on Facebook

There are tons of great comments and use cases here. Perhaps I'll have to dust off my old Raspberry Pi and repurpose it.

Presumably you'd have been equally OK if they banned any other political speech too? Under the same guise of moral responsibility of course.

Perhaps they should ban all political discussion. It's a knitting forum, after all.

> Adjunct/non-tenure faculty should be kept in mind.

Absolutely. Most adjuncts and non-tenured professors are paid surprisingly low wages, and many colleges are relying more and more on them (probably because they're so much cheaper).

I never understood this either, it's not practical advice for most people. You might as well say "become a plumber", "do electrician school", or even "go be a doctor".

There are a variety of high demand and well paying jobs, but not everyone is interested in them, or even cut out for them.
