m681··on UC Berkeley indefinitely suspends international student work authorizations
And at best misleading, if not outright false.
m681··on UC Berkeley indefinitely suspends international student work authorizations
Of the international students at Berkeley, 36% are from China and 11% from India. Very big difference.
m681··on Apollo will close down on June 30th
I suspect as much too. Third party mobile clients dying saddens me for sure, but most of my usage is on old.reddit.com. When that inevitably goes away it'll be the true end for me. While I don't exactly look forward to the day, I'm oddly excited about the opportunity to put my time elsewhere. Maybe I'll finally start reading books again.
m681··on YouTube tests blocking videos unless you disable ad blockers
Need? No, not particularly. Deserve? Yes, they are providing a service.
m681··on YouTube tests blocking videos unless you disable ad blockers
Sure. But don't complain when they in turn disable adblocking as if it's some great injustice lol.
m681··on Sex, food or water? How mice decide
It seems obvious, but I think an important part of science is to remain skeptical and not accept things as fact because they’re “obvious.”

It very well could have turned out that the mice still chose to eat despite having no hunger. I for one am definitely prone to overeating past the point of satiating hunger, or eating even if I’m not hungry. I find it satisfying and a way to overcome boredom; or maybe a better example is my dog, who I’m pretty certain would eat himself to death if I left his kibble box unlocked.

It seems obvious that the sun revolves around the Earth, but we now know that isn’t true. :-)
