Exactly, calling it “illicit” is funny. Your ToS isn’t law.

I tried to clone a HTTP (not HTTPS) site, and it's giving me `navigation failed: net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED`. Even when I explicitly included the protocol with `http://<FQDN>`.

If positive correlations exist between people who do bad things, and their ethnic backgrounds, then it's a pattern worth looking into.

Now you're just talking out of your ideological a**. Which is your right. Just know that that's what you're doing.

Mao's cult as you call it, shares little similarities to the modern day Chinese government, which is arguably the most pragmatic government that exists in the world today, certainly amongst developed countries. So once again, wrong.

Ironic then that most of the students throughout China who supported and even participated in the Tiananmen protests would later admit that Deng acted correctly in squashing it, and that China is better off today for that. This is a sentime

Yes, so what's your point?

An ideologically driven subset of urban educated youths that was proportionally a tiny subset of the entire Chinese population marched for it in 1989. FTFY. They are ruling themselves in the sense that their governing systems are emergent c

Ok yes, you're right. Guess I meant to say: no humans today are descended from someone between a male sapenis-female Neanderthals hybrid.

>And in retaliation we genocided them This is far from being the only or even main explanation to their extinction. The Neanderthal populations were extremely inbred, so I'd guess that was a bigger factor to their decline.

by jyscao 7mo ago
Because these hybrids would contain mtDNA from their human female line. Neanderthal mtDNA could only be passed down by Neanderthal females. And because none of those are found in any modern human populations, we can conclude no humans today

by jyscao 7mo ago
Presumably this hypothesis is meant to explain why there is this observed asymmetry in the type of Neanderthal DNA we find in modern human populations that contain them, which is entirely autosomal. With none in the mitochondrial form, whic

So does this mean Discord is scrapping its new face verification requirement for users, or imply they’re no longer using this 3rd party service (Persona) to do it? The article wasn’t too clear on that.

This is the path I want to take too. Do you find it difficult to focus on the marketing and sales side of the business rather than the building part?

One thing that never ceases to amuse is how people like yourself always inject moralistic prescriptions into what were meant to be purely descriptive commentaries. My comment on U.S. actions against Venezuela was not a condemnation, but rat

Because “international law” is a farce, recent U.S. actions against Venezuela is but the latest example of that fact. The strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must.

Genetic diversity within continental races, including that of Sub-Saharan Africans, are mostly a consequence of genetic drift. While genetic diversity between races are from selection. Thus the inter-racial genetic differences are more like
