It's extremely hard to say anything meaningful about anything and try to be PC without sounding like you are "lauding" something when you are merely reporting it. Furthermore, journalism isn't what it used to be. Newspap

“I write,” Marcus tells us, “to discover what I want to say and how to say it.” I used to say that some people don't know what they think until it comes out their mouths. Writing -- good writing -- is often an exercise in the writer

"Unlike the cardiovascular system which has one big pump, the heart, fluid in the lymphatic system is instead transported by a network of tiny pumps," Not entirely accurate. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2

Too little info in the article to judge the value of the position suggested. Brutalist buildings are hard to maintain and update. They tend to not be accessible. If you believe they "should" be preserved, perhaps write up guidelin

If tissue gets regenerated, it shouldn't "just go away again" once you stop the drug unless perhaps there is an unidentified pathological process involved.

Well, going off that, it sounds to me like it's probably mostly pain relief and probably doesn't meaningfully regenerate tissue.

Schwartz's less-than-comforting informal advice: "If you are prosecuted, Stanford will defend you. But if you're found guilty, we can't pay your fine and we can't go to jail for you." My impression is that it

The featured article contains mixed messages: It is hoped the drug — which is not a cure but will make the condition much less painful for sufferers — could also be used to treat rheumatoid arthritis and chemotherapy-induced pain in the fu

A lot of health care problems are undermined by the profit motive angle. I don't know how to solve that because there's no such thing as a free lunch and the people developing solutions deserve to be paid. But Africa is extremely

Cartilage heals slow because it gets no direct blood supply. All surrounding tissues need to improve their status before cartilage starts to heal because everything goes in and out via osmosis, not via the blood. https://atypic

I'm not personally aware of any studies. "In my experience" means it's anecdotal. Funny that it's fine if most people talk about their firsthand experience here and their personal opinions of their firsthand experie

The problem is that, in adult humans, cartilage does not have an inherent ability to heal. In my experience, this is not true. Though I certainly understand why it is believed to be true. We think our treatment could help address a serio

One data point: I checked my profile earlier and there was none, though my HN profile has scads of info. That's why I was curious. Totally fair to say "Word limit!" or something, but it means your reply doesn't seem to j

Just curious what the mechanism is for adding a bio to individual users. Your sample -- robg -- has the same bio on your stuff as on HN but others have stuff on HN and "No bio provided" on your thing.

On earth, we get microbes surviving in underwater volcanoes or the hot waters around them. It's a tiny portion of life on earth, but there's no reason we couldn't see similar elsewhere. Cue references to that Star Trek episod

In the good news column, California has a long history of being a thought leader on climate law and policy. This goes back at least to the 1960s and even further if you count them hashing out water law and being the birthplace of many paten

Excellent news. HIV is nasty stuff. It acts sort of like an acquired genetic disorder. It's a retrovirus, so it makes two copies of itself and replaces cellular DNA. Two RNA welded together make up DNA, so it more or less gives you the
