What are you talking about? You consider "the science" to be e phenomenon? What does that even mean? Also, plenty of people who are (voluntarily or involuntarily) spreading FUD are not directly telling others to do or not do somet

TFA is actually written by him. This discredits WSJ Oppinon as a valid source of information. If as a journalism agency you do not bother to ban obvious quacks, you do not deserve to be listened to.

Humorlessly debunking stuff is necessary when the group of people confusing fiction with reality grows. Unfortunately there is plenty of humorless debunking to be done until humanity can safely engage in fiction without having said fiction

I find this atricle to be rather hollow basing rather big claims on just the success of AlphaFold and Facebook's ability to manipulate people. Scientific theories will continue to be the pillar of scientific understanding. Just because

Yunohn, you are the one who used the term "the science" which you consider controlled by corporate interests. Mellavora's anger at your comment is justified since at the very least you were directly accusing them of being com

If you would of made this comment in the 70's or 80's you would have been called a commie bastard. You manage in just two sentences to conflate 3 different notions into one single "bad thing ™": science, capitalism and d

I remember when that article was trening on HN. I wonder how supported by data that article is, because if it is scientific it would be a wonderful quick and easy reply to people using autism and the spectrum for various arguments. Higher r

That looks cool, but I do not see it featured on Relativity's website and their pricing page is the "contact sales" kind. IOW, this is irrelevant for individuals.

I do agree that structuring this as a print journal is pointless and a relic if a past era. This should be something implemented using something like science-octopus.org or osf.io

I agree that phrasing it like that invites misinterpretation. And when publishing on a subject with as much disinformation as this, it is your duty to be as clear and precise as possible in order to avoid misinterpretations and being misquo

How can you still be an anthropic climate change denier in 2022? Batteries might not be eco-friendly, but they are reciclable and meanwhile global warming is the more urgent and grave issue. The alternative is you are a troll.

I read the entire link you posted. The conclusion presented lacks nuance. But other than that I see no issue with that debunking. Even drawing that conclusion is understandable at the time it was initially published. But I agree, the conclu

Remember that the ones spreading this theory before any evidence of any kind, were very much pushing a biowarfare angle. They still are but now they are more diluted ammong the larger group supporting a lab leak theory. The conspiracy theor

Entirely agree, we should find ways to reliably support upstream. But that is a different issue, and unfortunately it is one that the main beneficiaries are not willing to solve. Forking solves the issue of an upstream dependency not willin

You can not force your dependencies to do what you want. You can only patch the problem for yourself and maintain that patch in the build system, or you can fork each dependency in the chain, maintain those and then your build system is cle

For the same reason I find the grammar of Kakoune a lot easier to understand. It is similarly subject first instead of predicate first. I wish there was a NeoKak that would integrate with other environments like VS Code the way NeoVim does.

The alternative would be a journal/platform/wiki/repository of only reproducible results. Only double, triple, quadruple checked results would be accepted. In physics I believe this is called being above a certain value of si

While true that reproducibility is the truly useful filter, peer review is still a valid pre-filter. Do you believe peer review suffers from both false positives and false negatives (type I and II errors, don't remember which is which)

We should strive to make reporting so easy and painless it is routine. I believe this together with finding ways to increase trust is the only way to decrease the first type of under-reporting.

You should report it, even if it was mild. Databases like VAERS and EudraVigilence do indeed suffer from both under-reporting (due to patient apathy, and other reasons) and over-reporting (by design, even events with unrelated caused are i
