Sold my old car a few weeks ago. Finally got a new (used) car last Friday. I'm so glad for it to no longer be consuming some of my brains processing power in the background constantly.
I had a very slutty weekend, which was satisfying. I think I'm in heat. I think I've been in heat a lot the last few months. I wish I had a solution to this. Being slutty didn't really seem to solve the horny, although it was a nice outlet.
I'm removing this because Sabine has repeatedly been lambasted by the media for junk science, and because she's a known transphobe.
It's a big step up from literally drowning lab rats as an experiment, but we've got a long way to go before we get even reasonably ethical with lab animals 😔
To be fair if anyone was gonna not kill them when they're done, this lab seems like they might be the ones.
compress the image first, there's a max upload size and I think a max pixel size (I forget)
Yes, but if a review board were to sign off on them and then someone managed to significantly hurt or damage themselves, one could theoretically apply some of the blame to the review board for not doing their job to ensure that a study was safe. The whole idea of having ethics as a part of the review board was born of some of the studies they used to sign off on that were ultimately problematic and resulted in seriously damaging some individuals, such as minorities and kids.
Sorry by experimental what I meant here is something which is not ready to be tested in humans - this scientist was skipping a bunch of the necessary steps to show this is a safe thing to do (in lab grown cells first, for example) to proceed to human experimentation.
Ethically speaking, we should not be experimenting on humans, even with their explicit consent. It's not allowed by any credible review board (such as the IRB) and in many countries you can be held legally liable for doing experiments on humans.
With that being said, there have been exceptions to this, in that in some countries we allow unproven treatments to be given to terminal patients (patients who are going to die from a condition). We also generally don't have repercussions for folks who experiment on themselves because they are perhaps the only people capable of truly weighing the pros and cons, of not being mislead by figures of authority (although I do think there is merit of discussing this with regards to being influenced by peers), and they are the only ones for which consent cannot be misconstrued.
My dude, I told you to chill and take a step back. People were reporting you for being confrontational. I flagged my comment to help you understand that this was me helping you understand how we do things on Beehaw. If you think someone reminding you of the rules, asking you to take a step back, asking you to not be confrontational and doing their best to treat your comment with good faith and providing you educational material is "rude and condescending" or that it is "talking down to others" then you're probably not a good fit for this instance.
I'm going to time you out from our instance for 7 days. Please take that time to reflect. If you repeatedly show this behavior on our instance, you may find yourself with longer timeouts or even being removed.
Hey there, I've removed this comment because it reads as rather aggressive (and was reported for such). Maybe take a step back and re-assess if you're treating others with good faith and be(e)ing nice.
that still doesn’t make this about colonialism because this is about capitalism.
FYI- there is wide overlap between these two and they are not mutually exclusive. If you're unfamiliar with the use of these terms, you should ask how they are defined or how they are being used, rather than pushing a pedantic lens on the words definition.
Great article, thanks!
you should filter out irrelevant details like names before any evaluation step
Unfortunately, doing this can make things worse. It's not a simple problem to solve, but you are generally on the right track. A good example of how it's more than just names, is how orchestras screen applicants - when they play a piece they do so behind a curtain so you can't see the gender of the individual. But the obfuscation doesn't stop there - they also ensure the female applicants don't wear shoes with heels (something that makes a distinct sound) and they even have someone stand on stage and step loudly to mask their footsteps/gait. It's that second level of thinking which is needed to actually obscure gender from AI, and the more complex a data set the more difficult it is to obscure that.
Sold a '13 CR-V to a very good friend who had borrowed it for a few months about two years ago and loved it and wants to go camping more. Bought an '18 Fit so I could have a slightly smaller city friendly car.
