Yeah to me twitter=grifters

This was the only comment I disliked reading here...

No, they're correct. I was downvoted for a reply to a comment further down. I appreciate it. I visit the site mostly for the comments as well.

Some of the things the post mentions are possible to do and good and some are not. There's much to be grateful for yet there are still many problems to solve if we could focus as a society...

The even crazier thing is that DNA does not encode any of that. Behaviour and morphology is not directly encoded in there, you'll only find recipes for proteins. The zigote will divide into billions of cells that share that same recipe book. Depending on the electric and chemical signals surrounding cells are sending, individual cells get their "personalities" or function. This cell colony forms an organism which emerges from the sum of morphology and behaviour of all cells. But you'll find no recipe for an arm in DNA, it is the result of the work of the collective intelligence that is your body.

I'm not sure in what sense there isn't a recipe for arms in our DNA. To me, it seems the DNA does encode that stuff, but in a highly compressed format that is then "unzipped" through the laws of physics and biology into a living and breathing being with arms.

I mean, the information has to be in there somewhere, right?

I don't know either, maybe epigenetics play a part in this (Some information transferred from the mother cells to the child)?

If the DNA does not encode it then it's an astounding coincidence that it happens so reliably and repeatedly.

Starting at a bigger screen doesn't make it better

A bigger screen isn't better? I'll have to respectfully disagree. Having a huge screen on the PC has been a godsend.

A PC isn't just a smartphone with a bigger screen. I keep a bunch of things open and fully visible at the same time (file browser, text editor, terminal, smaller browser window, larger browser window, and some space for other things). This is nothing like using a smartphone. Every one of those programs is a content viewer/editor, where I set what they show. No notifications. Most of the time they're all static, showing what I chose and waiting for my command. If this is how you use your smartphone, then I stand corrected.

Consoles are increasingly becoming PCs, so I don't see this happening

I do find it bad in Belgium, mostly on big cars like SUVs. Another reason for me to dislike them. Unfortunately they are getting more and more common.

But who is letting interns with no experience take architectural and technological decisions for a core feature such as the start menu? These are the people that should be blamed.

They said Microsoft not windows. Modern dotnet is a good example of something Microsoft has been doing right. Windows on the other hand...

Yes especially the one asking a colleague if their are scared of them...

Why post files without explaining why we should care about this?

People post all sorts of nonsense, but more to the point, why is this on page 1?
