Yes it's a completely ridiculous theory that the biolab that works on bat borne coronaviruses might have had something to do with the bad borne coronavirus that sprang up a mile away. It's just a theory. Totally crackpot. I mean

Look at the jobs link on ycombinator. Startups that don’t suck. But if you want a big, safe company…… hmmm, maybe MSFT, Salesforce, Netflix…. Honestly I hate big companies so wish I could recommend better.

You can drive your car anytime you want, and you do. It’s not limited to a designated schedule of 2 days a week and 8 days a month and never on holidays. Same with everything else you said in your dishonest, bad faith comparison. Persona

"Python has some functional capabilities, but in my experiences with Python devs, those are little used and even shunned. Imperative, mutating loops are the Python way; and to suggest otherwise is to hear "But why would I need tha

It's not 2010 anymore. Google sucks to work at if you're a talented engineer that actually wants to do impactful things. In fairness I should specify that there are a few teams at Google that do amazing things but the vast major

I hate political stuff. I used to like arstechnica but it's degraded into what I am complaining about. The title of the article implies that people are crammed in desks next to each other by being purposefully vague.

Ableist because I didn't factor in that adjusting a chair is a horrific injustice? Can we just agree that that is ridiculous and absurd and comically dramatic? The ADA legally mandates that accommodations be made for people that need

I despise them. I'm convinced that they became "cool" purely for two reasons: 1.) Bosses loved the feeling of superiority they had by having their own office but everyone else is sitting out in the open where they can easily

Would you pay to rent a car for 5 days if you were only going to drive it for 2 days? You wouldn't, because you care about your own money. Why is it that we pretend like "shareholders" are these mythical beasts that are dif

Fascinating. The intel gathered from these likely helped send Nixon to China by revealing the Sino-Soviet tensions due to the military buildup at the border.

Clickbait title because arstechnica is a garbage publication. Employees are expected to work 2 days a week out of the office, and will swap the desk with another employee. They will not sit at the same desk at the same time. Doing anything

I also want this to be true. I've just been soul-crushingly disappointed with Google's execution over the last few years, particularly the outright degradation of so many products (Gmail) or just not keeping up with competition (H

Seems like this app is very stripped down streamlit app more dependent on API calls vs the DocsGPT. Doubt they are related.

Less than a year ago I made this exact statement in a thread on hn where a bunch of people were talking about how humans are like a virus on the planet. I pointed out that the only thing in the history of the earth that can stop the inevita

I'm not an ideologue so I don't derive my identity from my politics, and therefore don't view political opinions as "impressing" anybody. I don't like the GOP for many reasons (maga) and I think the current ite

Tyranny of the boomers, or apathy of gen X? That's the question I always ask when viewing the gerontocracy. In academia at least it's been very clear that the boomers were shameless about working long past the time they should ret

You and my father have something in common: He is an "apocalyptic environmentalist" in the sense that he believes climate change is going to be such a catastrophic event that human existence will be miserable. When I was a kid, h

So that's your take? "This thing that humans have done for eons without medical assistance now requires it and that's totally fine. Nothing to see here." Really?

Nope. It's altitude. I live in Colorado. The science on this altitude effect has been pretty thoroughly conducted, with potential correlating factors accounted for in multivariate regression models. Denver and its suburbs are FILLED

I live in Colorado, and I think it's just less oxygen and its effects on metabolism. It's definitely not a topic that's examined enough.

When it comes to issues that affect one of the genders, the structure of academia tends to basically ignore things unique to men. I think this is because every University researcher has a brigade of gender activists who only care about fem

The lack of federally funded research on this topic is astounding. It's been like this for a long time, but ignored. Even more notably has been the lack of curiosity from the media and academia. They simply shrug and move on, as if th

I have absolutely no idea if this claim is true. Just thought it might provoke a good discussion, and hopefully, some people have collected data on Twitter performance in the past vs. now.
