Interesting initiative, but I couldn't find an answer to the most obvious question when exploring the model: what do abbreviations like "evas" and "comp" mean? I suppose that "evas" stands for evasive answ

The article mentions the peptide "BNP", without explaining the abbreviation. This stimulated my curiosity. It's "BRINP2-related peptide", where BRINP2 indicates a specific gene responsible for the production of the

This is known as Operation Chokepoint 2.0 But in the interview, Andreessen is confusing this with "PEPs" (politically exposed persons) which is a totally different concept applied to politicians and their immediate family members.

If the ability to enter the sweepstake would start after the voter registration deadline, that would be airtight as far as legality goes. The loophole indeed lies in the grey zone, that strictly it isn't a reward for registration, but

As a sweepstake (essentially a free-to-enter lottery), it is legal. If it would be a reward to register as a voter, it would be illegal. The sweepstake is explicitly exclusively for registered voters in certain battleground states. I'v

To be clear, you mean a first name, also called “given name”, not a surname? Do you feel uncomfortable when hearing about the Ariane rocket? Mercedes cars bear the name of the daughter of the founder. Dave is a highly ranked banking app. LA

Yes, I've seen stories marked as dupe. But aren't they posts pointing to exactly the same URL or with exactly the same title? That isn't sufficient IMHO. It has to detect posts about the same news subject. It's not a tr
