I would say both ABC and SMH often lead with clickbait as well. I sometimes check the headlines and it is almost always a waste of time and emotional energy. The top article on abc at the moment is clickbaity and niche, although, I give cre

This is an incredibly insightful comment. It’s a bit insane that the scope of the drug does not include it’s delivery system. Timing is everything for psychiatric medicine but also I could easily see it being important for things like antib

I put this in another comment, but, 4. we are on a website that espouses dense static design without animated transitions right now . Otherwise, yeah, totally agree. The modern web is infuriating in many ways. All praise to reader view, ub

HN users might be self selecting for this bias towards a dense static design. 1. this website meets those criteria, 2. tech orientated people are power users who prefer the UI to get out of the way.

To put this in a statistical paradigm; time is always an important predictor in your model of organism traits (outcome) but there also a whole lot of other predictors that sometimes, or often, are more important/correlated than time.

To be fair, the podcast is produced by Europeans. Still, a British history podcast should spend more time recogning with its colonial history, and they have done at least one very very good episode on it.

Surely rux would cover more edge cases than your function? A lot of people would see this function and struggle to understand what it is doing, but if you explicitly use something like rux it's much more obvious. I guess rux would have

Being literate in history is very useful for putting these social panics into context: “I returned to civilization shortly after that and went to Cornell to teach, and my first impression was a very strange one. I can't understand it a

My advice is if AI tooling improves tasks you do (art, writing, coding, data entry) you should be using it now. If it doesn't you should continue to ignore it. Aside from avoiding art and transport industries I am not sure there is muc

Something like 30-50% of all human genetic variants are shared across continents. It's hardly asinine to say that a significant proportion of genetic variation is shared with everyone. Depending where you are talking about, ~20% of var

Yes you are right about the greater variation being localised. But I thought it was localised at the level of linkage disequlibrium blocks which can encompass many thousands of genes at their largest. Regardless the genetic distance between

Yes, ppl in the same country have more similar genomes. But modern population genetics has found that 1. There is more similarity than difference between any 2 humans on earth (there are africans and europeans who share more dna than with o

Well at least you can google it… But it certainly doesn’t help. I keep my css specific to each class and try to be as explicit as possible to avoid any weird consequences.

It's actually such an old practice that historians of Rome read ancient texts on the assumption that they have been edited/revised/embellished multiple times. It really puts into content the people in this thread saying this

Yeah I think this is a solid analysis of what is going wrong. While I disagree with the moral view of productivity, I do still think it is advisable and admirable to build up good habits.

From what I’ve seen it gets easier as they get older. But I also am told the pain is worth it, I hope your journey is good! :)

Emotions aside, why are we not allowed to discourage bad faith behaviour here? It doesn't have to be a legal rule, a social rule seems to exist already. We do the same for many other actions.

This isn't exclusive to straight men. I know plenty of people who have pursued relationships in good faith. EDIT: please cite a source for "99% of".
