Of course they don't care about spam. It pumps their engagement numbers up. They have a direct financial incentive to let it continue.

The second and third order effects from society's misguided Covid response will, over time, prove much much worse than the effects of the actual virus.

No. Bitcoin network power usage isn’t related to the number of transactions.

This is 100% correct and caused by artificially keeping interest rates low. If the price of money was allowed to find it’s natural equilibrium, these distortions wouldn’t be present. It’s anti-capitalist, market intervention by the fed that

It’s not just real estate. It’s all assets. This is Finance 101. As the risk free rate goes to zero asset prices go to infinity.

Right. In this case, it’s on those arguing for mask mandates.

It’s also CYA among politicians, and the comforting illusion that you’re doing something. Same part of human nature that leads people to wear lucky charms to ward off evil spirits.

There are multiple studies cited.

Sure. Here’s a meta of 14 studies. But, there are hundreds saying the same thing… “In pooled analysis, we found no significant reduction in influenza transmission with the use of face masks (RR 0.78, 95% CI 0.51–1.20; I2 = 30%, p = 0.25)”

Masks have been heavily studied re viral transmission and been show to have zero effect. It’s like people are ignoring the giant body of prior scientific research. Masks aren’t a new idea in medicine.

There are hundreds of studies. And, it’s pretty conclusive that masks have zero efficacy for stopping viral transmission. But, you’ll get shouted down by the mob for pointing this out. Nobody reads the actual studies.

I find it disturbing that everytime someone points out the actual science of masks (ineffective for stopping viral transmission) they are immediately downvoted or shouted down online.

This is just not true. There are several multi-Billion dollar public companies with millions of users and thousands of employees built on Rails. In fact, the philosophy of convention over configuration et all makes Rails MORE scalable and e

The only reason to start a tech company in CA was the proximity to talent and capital. I always found it funny that supposedly cutting edge high tech VC’s wanted you nearby when we had all the tools to base anywhere in the world. Seemed lik

If presales are any indication, the electric F-150 is already a huge success.

Disagree. HN has one of the most usable designs on the internet. The last thing we need is more unnecessary JS bloat.

The was the original "reddiquette" from back in the day. But as you know, it's pretty hard to align incentives, human nature, and that ideal.

I downvoted this comment because it's hyperbole. There are plenty of over very real concerns with this. For example, say some activist intern at Apple decides they don't like your politics and hits the report button, next thing yo

Physics isn’t immune to latching onto an idea dogmatically. From what I understand, string theory relies on elements which are impossible to verify experimentally.

I think your comment aligns with the article’s findings :). It seems the author has the idea in their heads that #{insert_topic} is settled. And, they’re shocked that in there is ongoing debate among the scientifically literate. You saw thi

Agreed. This has been my experience as well. Whenever I get to a dark place, I eventually pick up the weights again and w/in a few weeks I'm feeling much better. Fixing mental health issues with working out is a meme in the fitnes
