claimed to speak for a community that you clearly aren't a part of nor understand
And you claim to speak for a community that by a vast majority doesn't agree with your viewpoints on the scientific applicability of race.
Which makes us more credible? Your defeasible argument from an authority that your own peers don't recognize, or mine from a standpoint of basic logic and the determinations of your community as a whole?
I vote me. So do most people. Carry on. I still await your paper on the scientific applicability of race as a proxy for genetic phenotypes.
Ah yes, that must have been the conclusion I was referring to.
Do you consider yourself clever?
When you honestly answer that question, I suspect you will understand why you fall prey to your own defeasible arguments.
Actually, since I'm a scientist, my opinion does count, funnily enough; I do after all get to publish findings on such topics.
I wait with bated breath to read one of these papers.
Being it will consist of your opinion dressed up as fact, it'll likely be laughed right out of the journal like most work done on such topics by your type. You seem to think that it's ok to construct evidence to fit your opinion. So no, your opinion does not count. What you can back up counts.
Your view is a minority view. "Race" has no place in biology, except as a very imprecise proxy for certain phenotypes. And you've shown that with your own words, only you're too dim to understand what it means for your argument.
You paint criticism of your logic failures as tantrums, also a sign that you're just not very clever.
Unfortunately, only you have claimed that it's the diagnostic phenotype.
It's not me, it's the scientific community at large. You can say it's just me, but it doesn't make it true.
You're a joke. You let me know when you publish that paper.
Look at the bright side, I'm just as bad. Calling you a racist piece of shit is nearly equivalent to you categorizing someone's biological traits by their "race"
you just don't like the particular emotional values that you have attached to it.
This is a common claim among morons who like to paint the vast majority of scientists that consider racist tirades masqueraded as science as some kind of conspiratorial cabal suppressing the truth. Your colors are showing.
And that's pretty much what one would expect from an anti-intellectual.
Yes, I must be that. In all likelihood, my intellectual work has impacted your life at some point. Excuse me while I roll my eyes.
As for "Japanese" having a small set of irrelevant characteristics, that is profoundly wrong, and I do wonder how you came up with that.
Again, citation needed. I'm also curious how you can wonder how I came up with it when it is the scientific consensus.
I'll note that I said irrelevant to the said cell lines, which it is.
You see, it turns out that statistics are rather important in genetics
I find it fascinating that you point this out, and fail to see how it completely derails your argument.
Race is asked in medical settings to judge the probability of a phenotype existing, to see if it is worth looking at pathologically speaking. It's hardly a rule.
Phenotypes do not follow sociological or anthropological concepts of race as a rule, only as a gross generalization that has little place in statistical studies or assumptions. That was physical anthropology 101.
Finally, and this is really strange since you are contradicting your own claim here about an individual sometimes lacking a phenotype from his own reference genome,
No, you're begging the question. Being we disagree that your definition of race is the correct definition, the above statement is categorically false.
Caucasian is not equal to melanin concentrations in the skin;
You're right, of course. It means a person lacking significant melanin in their epidermis and of European descent, which again, means precisely dick in the context you are using it in, except that there is a probability of said person expressing a phenotype.
that is only one phenotype, an incredibly basic factoid for those that have even the smallest knowledge of genetics.
Yes, the diagnostic phenotype, expressing exactly why race is a non-scientific term.
All you're doing is making my point for me, once you accept that your definition of race does not exist outside of your brain.
These things tell me that you aren't qualified to assess whether or not I am a shitty biologist;
No they don't, they tell you that you're struggling really badly to cling onto something resembling logic in order to paint a veil of rationality onto your likely racist beliefs, and you know that. You know you're struggling.
but it does sound like you're qualified to ask me if I want fries with that.
There's little qualification for that outside of being able to communicate and follow basic instructions and logic. So ya, I'd say I'm qualified for that.
Being those are dependent qualifications for what you supposedly do, I'm beginning to think you're nothing but an armchair shit stain peddling archaic racist beliefs dressed up in a veneer of bad logic and scientific-sounding words.
Of course I want to avoid use of the word. The word has little scientific meaning.
As an example, Japanese, as a "race" refers to a small set of diagnostic characteristics that are really completely irrelevant to the genetic characteristics of those cell lines.
An individual considered Caucasian can carry attributes of a cell line that originated in Japan, and a Japanese individual can lack them.
What makes one Caucasian? A lack of melanin in their skin. That's all.
The fact that you don't want to avoid the word tells me you're a shitty biologist.
Technology is a cumulative progression. It seems natural to me that it would have a very exponential curve. I've never been surprised that it took our ancestors 10s of thousands of years to learn how to become agrarians.
If you were thrown onto an island as an toddler, with a semi-abundant food source that doesn't require preparation, decent weather and zero education, would you have learned to farm?
The vast majority of what we call intelligence, is a couple hundred thousand years of passed on cultural knowledge.
No, you don't. You have groups of genes that originated in certain populations, that certain cell lines are representative of.
I'm really surprised you know that much about categorized cell lines without understanding what makes them, well them.
Cell lines are categorized by the geolocation of the population they originated from. The word race does not show up there.
You've got a dead body, an ass-ton of blood, and a guy telling another guy to shut his fucking mouth or he'll wreck his ass.
In general, those who tamper with witnesses, probably have involvement in the suspected crime, even if it isn't nailed down yet.
To claim otherwise is some pathetic gaslighting bullshit.
48kHz only on aptX HD, actually.
LDAC has considerably more bandwidth to play with.
It doesn't quite sound wired (I think it may be a bit noisier than wired) but it is noticeably better sounding than aptX HD.
That all being said, I'm not all that picky. I can listen to AAC streams without gritting my teeth or anything, but you can hear the better quality encodings. It's beautiful.
I'm using a Sony WH-1000XM3. It supports SBC, AAC, aptX, and LDAC. It has a little app to tell you what the currently connected audio source is using for Codec. Highly recommended. Listening to LDAC encoded FLAC over BT is 99% amazing.
BT using the SBC is abysmal. (Linux, shitty hardware)
AAC is a bit better (iDevices, mostly)
aptX is even better (Windows, some Android Phones)
LDAC can do 96kHz/24bit (Oreo+ Android phones, specialized hardware)
BT really gets a bad name due to SBC.
Most BT devices only support SBC.
I find it fascinating that you point to 2 species with a common ancestor who was undeniably sentient, and claim that they both "evolved" sentience.
Sorry, AC. You may know a couple of big words, but with logic that bad, you probably struggle to dress yourself in the morning.
It works wonderfully. I've used mine for a little over a year. My game PC sits behind the couch. I will echo what he said about ethernet connectivity, though.
I can stream games over wifi to my laptop, but the Link doesn't appear good at this. I grabbed a MoCA adapter and attached it that way.
I'm not holding my breath, but I'm hoping they decide to build another. Steam In-Home streaming is a lot less annoying than nVidia's GameStream.
They simulate GPS-dark operations on a regular basis. This story is less about how it affected them, and more about the fact that it was done to a sovereign nation with "collateral damage" in time of peace.
They do it at the borders of NATO all the time.
The fact that they don't have the capability/friends over on this side of the globe (anymore) is hardly relevant.
NATO members in Eastern Europe and Scandinavia are scared shitless of the Russians. Yes, we're all very sure that Ivan is aggressive. NATO was founded because of it.
The alternate pole of NATO was the Warsaw Pact, which collapsed because its members managed to throw the yoke of their masters in Moscow. Your relativism here is fucking nauseating.
You aren't modded troll for calling out some kind of inconvenient truth, you're being modded a Troll for gaslighting and dressing it up as such.
What I consider a defining aspect of our times, is I'm not even sure you're aware of how full of shit you are. I think you might actually believe that shit.
I would expect this to be one of the first things that is done during any military conflict.
They do.
What led you to believe otherwise?
This is news because a country we have a near Cold War with did it across their border and impacted civilian population as well as military exercises.
Not quite an act of war, but it's hostile. Whether or not it's expected in case of a real conflict is entirely inconsequential to the report.
Statistical wave propagation and distance squared are working against you. You could block a lot of the jamming, but it's very easy for the jamming to still be far more powerful, on account of it not being 12,000 miles away. GPS already operates with a negative SNR at ground level. It's simply very easy to drown out. Always has been.
You can buy a fucking GPS jammer off of alibaba.
If you're bored, you can build one for $20.
If you're determined, you can go ahead and build one with a wide area of effect for a reasonable price as well. But warning- they *will* find you.
WTF are you going on about, anyway? Blocking GPS isn't hard, and is expected in any military encounter with any even reasonably advanced adversary.

I have no problem with your facts, they just don't support your conclusions. That's why you're a shitty supposed-biologist.
Still waiting.

It has a solid scientific meaning

Why no farming until about 12k ago?

I'm forced to conclude that you're a twat.
The more accurate point is, without the investigation, they'd never have caught the guy trying to cover up the not-a-crime.
You're right. All they caught him doing was dousing blood stained walls with ammonia.
He was clearly just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
You've got a dead body, an ass-ton of blood, and a guy telling another guy to shut his fucking mouth or he'll wreck his ass.
