I try to contribute to things getting better, with sourced information, OC and polite rational skepticism.Disagreeing with a point ≠ supporting the opposite side, I support rationality.Let's discuss to make things better sustainably.Always happy to question our beliefs.

  • As someone in stem who has never felt smarter than anyone how do you justify your sucess?

    Jump

  • Get out of your stem bubble (Lemmy being one), do some local sport or activity where there is actual social mixing. You will notice the gap between your bubble and people who barely finished highschool. For me the gap is rather having the privilege to be educated to abstraction rather than being smart (~ IQ). Being able to manage abstraction better is often why you are better paid in STEM.

    • The Yuki language in California has an octal system because the speakers count using the spaces between their fingers rather than the fingers themselves.[2]
    • The Pamean languages in Mexico also have an octal system, because some of their speakers "count the knuckles of the closed fist for each hand (excluding the thumb), so that two hands equals eight."[3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octal

  • US ambassador to France banned from meeting French government

    Jump

  • The diplomatic speech use is pretty funny.

    "Faced with this apparent misunderstanding of the basic expectations of the office of ambassador, who has the honour of representing his country, the minister [Jean‑Noël Barrot] has requested that he no longer have direct access to members of the French government," the ministry added. "It remains, of course, possible for Ambassador Charles Kushner to carry out his duties and to present himself at the Quai d'Orsay so that we may hold the diplomatic exchanges necessary to smooth over the irritations that, inevitably, can arise in a friendship two hundred and fifty years old," it nevertheless specified.

  • You have a very restricted definition that doesn't seem to be common. "Social graph" is not mentioned once on the Wikipedia page of "social media", nor the Britannica, nor the Cambridge dictionary, nor Merriam Webster. While they are not specialized sources, I think they reflect the common usage of words. By those definitions Lemmy seems to be a social media.

  • The tobacco industry is a good historical example of all the shit world dominating companies do. The most sneaky thing I can remember is that they finance perfectly good research on a lot of causes of cancer, except for tobacco, so researchers were too busy and happy to get some money to work on something, to investigate tobacco. They also have been buying companies that used to finance legitimate research so researchers that depended on them are now forced into a conflict of interest. https://www.bmj.com/content/385/bmj.q1153

    Personal anecdote, a young female data scientists left my current department to join Philip Morris, it blows my mind that young educated people would join this industry willingly, I guess it was for the money.
