Yes. There’s a biology from Harvard who has noticed this. I think people are catching on it’s from the lab. I’ve seen PhD level biologists on twitter making the same observations Here it is: Wuhan virus is essentially SARs http://

I think the web has changed, that kind of information is no longer surfaceable within the current paradigm of search engines. SEO won, and I think in the short term we will just see walled garden websites create a monopoly on page views. In

It’s not misogynistic if it’s true. The dating scene is absolutely brutal for a lot men, atleast until they can date women in their late twenties. The source is basically all I did for the last five years was work and chase women in major c

Online dating has made it so basically all of the women are sleeping with the top 10% of men. This is the new normal. Edit. This is also largely the view of incels. Forums where they talk about why they can’t get girls. So everyone down vot

Actually it’s rare for the options to be worth more than FAANG options. Only the earliest stage employees do well, and adjusted for the risk they take, it’s a really bad deal

For everyone who doesn’t know, you’re getting shafted at that medium size startup/company. Most of these FAANG engineers are not geniuses, they just studied for the interviews

That’s what happens when you hire strictly off of algorithms questions with zero behavioral questions. How they thought that wouldn’t destroy the company culture is beyond me.

Yeah but I think most of the time this happens because some senior developer edges all the other devs out. After a few months of this he’s so productive with the code base that the others look like bad programmers

It’s fundamentally hard to govern YouTube. The tools to analyze and remove harmful video content don’t exist. Pic one, the existence of YouTube and harmful videos or no YouTube at all.
