Rent control created an disincentive to build new rentals, increasing the cost for new renters....laws against building made it worse.

People complain because they work low wage jobs in the city and need a place to live. If they don't have an affordable place to live they won't be able to do the work that needs to be done.

From a knowledge building perspective, this study is not helpful. All this does is show that maybe there is something to look at in a more well funded study.

More than one study is needed before you can conclude that allowing people to stand while working is not a good thing. We don't even have to population details to determine if the study population was properly selected and that all variables had been controlled for. The fact that the study was of only 20 people doesn't bolster the idea that the study was any good.

I think there is value of management in all cases wrt processing corporate beurocratic paperwork and even for resource allocation of staff to initiatives.

You get into trouble with non-SME managers that start directing the way people solve a problem or prioritize what work gets done.

It's great that someone down voted my comment even though it is a true statement.

We know when neanderthal was living in Europe and we think we know when Humans arrived. Based on the evidence that we have, the conclusion is that neanderthal has symbolic thought.

I am not saying it is not possible that modern humans are not responsible for the cave paintings. I am saying that all we have is evidence for a settlement in Israel that is old enough to show Humans could have migrated OOA much sooner than thought. That settlement is not evidence that they did. If you find more data then we can talk about it. A settlement of modern humans in the Balkans or even in Anatolia during that time frame would at least bolster the argument.

Infertility of offspring is not the boundary line that define species.

Evidence of modern humans existing in Israel that long ago does not mean a migration occurred. Those remains could be from a group that ranged only that far and died out.

If they can tie their genetics to the genetics of non Africans then yes, you have your evidence for earlier migration, but you still need to show that modern humans could likely have been in Iberia during the time frame of the cave paintings.

The burden of the evidence that it could have been modern humans lays at the feet of those who say it could have been modern humans, not at the feet of those claiming neanderthal did it since there is ample evidence of neanderthal populations all over Europe during this time frame.

Acquiring mass is interesting. It means that in the course of this process they must be interacting with the Higgs field.

When I think of WYSIWYG editors, I see presentation and content being mixed.

Unless Typora has figured out how to get remove the need to locate the insertion point of a formula, open an editor, then submit the data to render an image that is placed inline or made into a block. If it has figured that part out then props to them for making it easier to write mathematics in an accessible editor.

Did you just equate modern science based medicine with witch doctors? LOL!

The problem is, if you do a lot of formula writing in a narrative, most WYSIWYG editors that support LaTeX formula rendering are just not efficient. I want to type my thoughts, start a formula block, write my expression, end the block, and continue going. You can't do that in most WYSIWYG editors.

I used LaTeX all the time at university. It made citation/bib easy, it made writing reports for mathematics way more efficient, and the presentation of the documents were beautiful. I had a prof rave about how nice the my paper looked once when I turned it in.

I wish I had stuck with it afterward. I write enough that it would make my work less painful, but I let the skill laps. This article is making me think I should pick it back up.

I like the premise of the article. I think bean counting, short sighted companies killed the junior dev....and that role died a long time ago in many places (even farther back than 2010).

I also think the article needs some copy editing. A few paragraphs were rough to get through.

Affluent and powerful people are typically people that are smart enough to parse out any mild bias and ignore it. The Gomer and Cletus crowds of the world that vote are the people that are the risk for the lies of the fake news sources because they vote and are a very large group.

Just remember, Skepticism isn't rejecting information, it is withholding your acceptance/distension until you have more data.

Rejecting information outright is cynicism.

You might have been implying this with your parenthetical but, just to say it, the irony is that the same guy created Comic Sans.

style guides are not laws and if the style guide changes it changes the meaning of the law.

WASM will eventually completely replace the need to use JS for any web development. That will be a good day.
