  • This is actually a HUGE factor in human sexual selection. Other primates have visible Estrous cycles. I.e. what people commonly call going into heat.

    This has a big impact on reproductive dynamics. Who mates, when they mate, etc.

    Humans, for whatever reason, do not have a visible indicator of fertility, which provides females more sexual selection options. Because it’s not obvious when they’re in heat, they can choose who they mate with at the right time. They can also socially mate all the time, which can increase human bonding.




  • is such a hassle it wouldn’t really pass in any company

    Hate to tell you, this is now the norm. Right now, today, thousands of corporate travelers!

    Company creates a travel laptop, perhaps even just a completely empty kiosk laptop. Corporate traveler downloads critical data to the laptop in an enclave (like a presentation). They have a two-factor token with them. If they need to get back to the corporate network for whatever reason, they use remote desktop software and no data is stored on the local device. They’re given policies telling them that if the computer is out of their possession, or view at any time, that the device is not to be used whatsoever afterwards. Contact security and let them deal with it.

    When the traveler comes back to the mothership, laptop is checked into IT, it’s completely wiped.

    Does remote desktop software suck? Yeah. It’s better than the alternative though
