I got one, just keep spamming continue, it will eventually go through!

Why the surprise? 😅

I mean we have ESA right? As much as I love the idea of getting more budget for space stuff, I don't like this Trump-esque nostalgia-driven "make ___ great again" rhetoric. When did we stop being a space power?

What do you think the overlap is in two groups of outliers?

Well, seeing as people with abnormal sex genes may have an advantage in competitive women's sports, you would actually expect to see a significant amount of that "outlier" group in the group of top athletes, as there is a selection happening. You're right that if you chose independently at random from people who are top athletes and people who have abnormal sex genes, the overlap would be incredibly small. But sports is not a random selection at all. At the top of sports, even the smallest advantage means the difference between winning and losing, so even small variations (like those caused by abnormal sex genes) may give significant advantages (perhaps even "unfair" advantages).

Sure, but do you think that’s the test they’re doing?

I mean they state right there what kind of test they are doing (but perhaps you didn't read it or missed that part?):

>all athletes over the age of 18 that want to participate in a World Boxing owned or sanctioned competition will need to undergo a PCR (polymerase chain reaction) genetic test to determine their sex at birth and their eligibility to compete.

>

>The PCR test is a laboratory technique used to detect specific genetic material, in this case the SRY gene, that reveals the presence of the Y chromosome, which is an indicator of biological sex. The test can be a be conducted by nasal/mouth swab, saliva or blood.

So they are testing for the presence of the Y chromosome. Not sure if that covers any of the questions you asked there but presumably no. But again, we must draw the line somewhere and "presence of the Y chromosome" doesn't seem to be an unreasonable way to determine that line - at the very least it sounds like a very unambiguous way to draw the line. But I am not an expert so I won't speak with any confidence about this.

That's a nice infographic, but must we not draw a vertical line somewhere on that spectrum to say what is allowed in women's sport? It seems unreasonable to allow everything on the spectrum as women's sports would be dominated by people from the male end of the spectrum.

What does it mean if a democracy bans a party that the voters want to elect?

To be fair, 80% of voters did not vote for AfD - and if 80% of voters want to ban a party? Well, that is democracy. Although it's a dangerous tool to use.

The US is way more fucked, as more people actually voted for Trump than not.

It's a political necessity really. If you keep denying the losing party any influence, they'll grow bigger.

The Danish political system has very successfully stopped the far right parties by acknowledging their concerns and bringing _some_ but not all of their policies into the centrist parties. Honestly this is probably much better than the alternative of the far right parties getting more and more influence.

EDIT: If you're not Danish and not familiar with our (very successful, I might add) democratic political system, you might not understand, but it has worked quite effectively here. Keep in mind the Danish political leaning is quite leftist already, so even some of our "right-wing" parties are still quite left wing all things considered.

>Community admins would decide to link their communities.

At this point, why not just shut down one of the communities and use the other one? What's the point in linking them like this? That just makes it the same as one community, no?

Communities should be linked at least

Who decides what communities are linked? You'd need some kind of central authority to do that, but that would break decentralization.

Multiple options for the same thing is good and should be accepted as normal. It's only on the internet that we have learned to think otherwise.

Wouldn't it be weird if you only had one supermarket option to go to? I mean yea super markets mostly have the same stuff, but there's a good reason not to have monopolies.

To be fair, almost all instances started like this.

Username checks out?

Not sure what programmers have to say about this though.

DST is a major pain in the butt, getting rid of it simplifies a lot of things. Only problem is that everything still needs to take DST into account for all of history.

Are there some better metrics?

Denmark is super flat. I believe the highest point is the pylons of the bridge between the two Major islands, Funen and Zealand.

AfD is Alternative fur Deutschland, a far right party. This divide is present ever since the division of Germany into East and West Germany and persists to this day despite the fact that the wall fell in 1989. It is definitely not coincidence that there is a political and demographical divide.

Shows well why Ukraine is so important as an exporting farming country, they've got a lot of the green.
