I don't know if I would call this an evolutionary response. It's more like the remnant effect of the one-time bottleneck the article mentions. The proportion of females with the gene for tusks was almost wiped out, while the number of females without that gene stayed the same.

There have only been a few generations gone by since then, but you would imagine the same factors that made the gene for tusks more successful in the first place, would start to again predominate, but it will probably take many generations for it to come back to where it was. That part, the recovery, could be called an evolutionary response.

OSH Park will definitely do 4 & 6 layer, not just 2.

Magnetic declination in Alaska is pretty severe too.

They might not actually be deeply religious, since they are liars, they might be lying about that.

Jeffrey Epstein was also very well connected. Sometimes those connections vanish into thin air to avoid guilt by association.

I think living wherever you want and spending millions of other people's dollars for three years is not 50% as bad as being in prison. It's better than most innocent people get to do out of prison.

But they actually did effectively target them. Six out of six complete remissions.

What about having low testosterone would make someone eat more products with soy?

I have a new-ish Miele which has it. Good thing too, because we have really hard water here.

Miele has it. It's a reservoir with a twist-cover at the bottom of the dishwasher that you fill with salt whenever the dishwasher tells you its time. Seems to be about once a quarter.

Cancellation is using speech and other means to limit someone else's ability to speak. When you demand that your local theatre forbid someone from speaking, rather then just choosing to not attend and listen to it, that's yes, technically, using your right of free speech. It's what you're using it for that is the difference. In one case, to get your message heard, in the other, to prevent someone from doing that. In essence using free speech to stop free speech.

I imagine a death march to be something worse than that. In this case everyone shared the goal, it wasn't a made-up deadline forced on underlings by a clueless management. This management knew they could do it, and the team knew they could do it and had done it before. That's what they were there for; the thing they hoped to be able to do.

When I think of a death march, I think of an engineering task (usually a software program) with a known-impossible deadline, where the team pushes back on the deadline and is ignored. Necessary tools not provided, work hours monitored, rather than progress, etc.

Ah! You mentioned in the article needing single button keyboard shortcuts. You can actually do this in SwiftUI, by passing an empty array on for the modifiers. I have code up right now so I'll copy a line:

.keyboardShortcut(KeyEquivalent("e"), modifiers: [])

That's for using just the "e" key, with no modifiers.

In the cases I've gotten this error, I am guessing it is covering something a bit more complicated in how it needs to discover the cause and generate an error message. I've found actual other errors in the code, removed them, and then this message goes away. It might be that whatever compiler improvements or pre-pass over SwiftUI is not completely working yet.

Are IMDb and Wikipedia not appropriate direct answers?

Or, people need to calibrate their desires for housing to their ability to pay for it. When landlords have bought property that becomes more valuable, they made an investment that paid off. This is what happens everywhere all the time. People speculate, some win, some lose.

You've probably done it yourself, maybe by speculating on where to apply for employment. It's hard to win that way since millions of people can copy that thesis. There is only so much real estate however.

At each rent increase, you could re-evaluate whether the investment is working out for you and adjust accordingly. You could also lobby your employer to move somewhere more affordable. I understand that is not a simple or easy thing to do, and you have my empathy. I just want to give you some insight a bit above "yeah, fuck those guys, you got screwed" which is not all that helpful to you.

A fun way, though maybe there are much more productive ways, is to learn Scheme and/or Lisp, and, with a language that has a library for it, convert the html to a big s-expression. Then you have it in a form that is the form of the language itself, where you can literally do anything with it.

Or they don't like their chances in the sea of unemployed tech workers after all of the other layoffs at Amazon, Facebook, etc.

I get what you're saying, but I don't think more doctors is the answer. Hospitals will only hire the absolute minimum number of doctors they can possibly get away with, other than the ones who actually bring in new business.

This is the reason: as soon as the medical industry has established a consensus price for some procedure or other item of care, the hospital administration starts to work on figuring out how to do it for the least possible cost. The price has been set in stone, no need for further justification. Medicare or whoever WILL pay that much. The price is fixed so the only knob left to turn is cost, and cost will be reduced all the way down, until service is just above a level so poor that patients would decide to stay home.

A model that's been used for a very, very long time, successfully, is similar to the one you are now using. Sell the current version for a fixed price, and the customer owns it forever. Also sell a support subscription plan, for a fraction of the price of the software, lets say 2.5% of the flat cost, per month. Sometimes, give one year of that with the base purchase. Support contract entitles you to bug fixes and minor feature enhancements (point releases) for free, and free or discounted major upgrades.

Bernie Madoff was a top executive, with great connections.

Wouldn't you have to have access to your coworker's email in-box to do that?

I think humans discovered child welfare was important long before there were any organizations at all.

That is not "of Covid", it is "with Covid". We are still counting a Covid death for each person who has Covid at the time of death, regardless of what actually caused the death. Probably some of those people died exactly of Covid, but many died of at least two things, counting "having Covid" as one of the co-morbidities.

It only had to have one bed.

You quoted two statements. For the first, I'm not going to further defend it, see above, it is widely accepted these days.

For the second statement there are two assertions, that the country is mostly vaccinated, and that no herd immunity ever showed up. The country is mostly vaccinated, so I think you must be questioning whether herd immunity showed up.

I do think some amount of immunity showed up, if by immunity you mean spreading a little bit of Covid but not as much as if you had not been vaccinated and were unfortunate enough to get a serious case of it. But I'm not sure that would qualify as "herd immunity".

You can't get herd immunity from a vaccine that does not stop the spread of the disease, even with 100% coverage. Covid starts spreading early in the infection, before your vaccine-stimulated antibodies get into the action. For that kind of contagion, vaccines cannot stop the spread.

For other diseases that become contagious later in the infection, vaccines can, and at the outset it seemed like Covid might behave that way, but it turned out not to.

What the current vaccines can do, is lessen the possibility of serious outcomes, which is great.

It does not need to be that nuanced. It's basically if you (think you might) have these X conditions, get vaccinated. You can give the detailed recommendations to doctors and other caregivers, and refer the public to them and the CDC website to check more in case they don't know.
