I find it bizarre that this author wrote so much about information warfare, talking about China and corporate censorship, and a piece in propublica about algorithmic bias... But never brings up the fact that a billionaire bought one of the

I have a pet theory about the medical industry in the USA. The US is the most pure-capitalist nation on the planet, and medical services are as bad a fit as it gets for a market economy: * interactions with the market are ideally as few as

Your post has now been edited to be factually correct. But the misleading implication that this abrupt cut is part of some other cuts that started before remains.

I've noticed that there's a post like this in most articles on HN that could be construed as negative for the current administration: some vague false statement followed by either a factually incorrect explanation or some quote th
