That's not great! I wonder if Ebola is especially quick to mutate. This article: https://jvi.asm.org/content/early/2015/12/08/JVI.02701-15 suggests that it is. A mitigating factor is that it do

What's the alternative to "build your own platforms" though. Are you willing to compel Stripe by threat of force to keep processing credit cards for nazis? Are you willing to completely torpedo freedom of association, as long

FWIW the paper mentions that Google's autonomous driving fleet currently has 55 cars, so I suspect the 100 fleet size was picked to reflect a significant improvement over a notable competitor in the field. The article mentions Google&#

I would agree with you if this was just a list of people who think HTTP is good enough. If you read the article it's not "HTTP is good enough" it's "HTTPS is too slow" or "HTTPS is a plot by Google to take

I was pretty amused by the suggestion in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17135061 that it's actually US spy equipment that is malfunctioning and causing the problem, but it's honestly not totally implausible.

Oh shit, I absolutely love Infinity Loop! I played it a bunch and got a ton of mileage out of it. It hits what in my experience is a very difficult to achieve balance of relaxing and engaging, and even though it's simple it never reall

It would be really, really easy to make the exact same points, simply by typing less. I've seen a lot of people defend Linus on the grounds that he's "terse" but this is actually quite unnecessarily verbose, and would be

To add further context, here's Linus' (imo rude and totally unproductive) rant from https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/2/23/611 , which Daniel Vetter is replying to: The tinydrm code seems like absolute

I basically agree with your friend, but I'm pro-drugs for pepole who find them helpful. I very strongly suspect that the underlying "problem", like with cancer, is actually an enormous variety of problems that cluster into va

I think that the United States is getting better about dealing with mental health, but we still have a long way to go. This is a little soap-boxy and anecdotal, and I apologize if it's inappropriate here. If I hadn't gotten a pres

This article references one of my favorite anecdotes about infrasound and "hauntings": https://gizmodo.com/some-ghosts-may-be-sound-waves-just-belo... It's early in, look for the part about Vic Tandy.

I've got a guess as to what the author is talking about, because gun owners have a similar thing. In the case of guns, it's "there's no such thing as an accidental discharge, only a negligent one". By this reading,

My two favorite podcasts are Sawbones and Welcome to Night Vale. I don't, like, personally care if people listen to them at high speed. It doesn't bug me and I don't judge them for it. My personal experience (descriptive, not

This is a good and funny reply. Also, it accidentally led me down a fun rabbit hole and I ended up trying to learn about the oldest scientific works are that are still regularly cited today. Answers: https://scholar.google.com&#x

Medical food and meal replacement shakes existed well before soylent, they're usually intended for people who are on a feeding tube. There's a lot of common brands like Ensure, and you can find probably at least one decent option

FTA: "Marakby’s departure comes not too long after Uber lost its head of comms, president, head of AI Labs, VP of growth and SVP of engineering." This feels like one of those things that's going to keep snowballing.

Looking forward to a Yelp for Yelp Clones, where I can rate yelp-for-X sites on how trustworthy the ratings are.

Imagine the little perverse incentives that companies offer to leave a Yelp rating (rate us and get some free breadsticks! or whatever), but with pharmaceuticals (leave us a five star rating and get a new car, or a new medical device, or wh
