Joe Rogan has steered from doing light-hearted interviews to notable individuals to offering pre-chewed, easy-to-digest, sometimes-factual, no-opposing-view interviews on complex and controversial issues. Somehow Malone didn't have tim

Toptal selection is flawed exactly in the same way many tech hiring processes are: they heavily bias against people who are busy enough not to be able to fit 1-3 weeks long unpaid projects into their schedule. Sure, it weeds out incompetent

Nitpick: you can't break an EU directive. Directives are frameworks of laws that the states have to implement. Here it's the French implementation of the EU directive what was violated.

Censoring ideas isn't healthy, but platforms that snowball bits of information into dangerous wackery for ad revenue aren't exactly healthy either. It's funny how some people are swift to be against gain-of-function research

It's great to oversee certain hypotheses, but as a whole it's largely clickbait, IMO. Aside from what I said, for example, GoF research generally introduces silent mutations at about the same rate as natural evolution, because it&

The Marek disease scenario is more a result of massification of poultry industry and the fact that Marek-infected chickens are infectious for life, rather than the vaccination itself. That's several orders of magnitude higher in terms
