You say that it is "provably bad". Can you provide such proof?

HN had two Wim Hof-related submissions hit the front page recently: eight days ago[1] and six days ago[2]. This reinforces the impression that it's more prominent than before. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24

It's worth noting that any hyperventilation raises blood pH (low CO2 in blood -> increased alkalinity). There's nothing special about the Wim Hof method in this regard.

There are similar sayings around number of heartbeats. It's fun to imagine, but it's not particularly scientific.

Harold Puthoff, one of the SRI researchers who studied Geller, was in the news somewhat recently. He was involved in that "navy UFO" business. He co-founded the "To The Stars Academy", which produced a History Channel do

[1] shows only that repeatedly hyperventilating then depriving oneself of oxygen affects various blood parameters. This is not surprising, and not evidence that the more pseudoscientific mind-over-body claims of the Wim Hof method are valid

This is something I've been thinking about for a while. In the next few years we will cross a threshold. Past that point of no return, we will have significantly less certainty about the past. There's an opportunity to preserve mu

This video was posted an hour ago: https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/13125258335050588... It shows Trump as alert and well. "Very concerning" and "not on a clear path to a full recovery&quo

Freeway driving would generally be much simpler than city driving, wouldn't it?

I would argue keydown is generally right, for the sake of latency and immediacy of action. Do people who want a capital 'A' ever intentionally type A-Shift instead of Shift-A? I've never heard of it before.

AFAIK this is not intended to be free-standing. It is more like a large puppet held up at the waist.

I have also long desired something like this. I'd love a parametric vector (+ image) editor; it's an unfilled niche. (If any startup people are looking for ideas, here's your million dollar opportunity.) There are the CAD pro

While we typically think of a fourth dimension as time, that is just convention. One could easily say [x, time, z, y] and the math works out the same.

Yeah, it seems this is all just buggy application code. The title should probably be changed to something less suggestive, particularly given current paranoia around Chinese surveillance.

Not that shocking. After nCoV-2019 was sequenced, the first thing they would do is compare it to all previously sequenced virus samples.

The same sort of content (including many re-hosted videos) is available on his Twitter page, so I'm not sure this is evidence for anything.

Is this the oldest "<submission title> (<year>)" submission on HN? As an aside, if one does not enjoy the Fowlers' translation there is different translation done by A. M. Harmon (side-by-side with original Greek)
