Correct me if I'm wrong, but this could be the first real acknowledgement in science that RA, lupus, and autoimmune disease in general could be CAUSED by mental health issues? FTA: "It’s also unclear whether simply treating inflam

If this isn't the biggest failed opportunity to name and shame, I dunno what is. People like this should be eviscerated in the same social media sphere they work in.

I think one of the only things preventing the US from implementing Australia-style pandemic policies was the number of guns in civilian hands. As such, the pandemic taught me why America tolerates this sort of thing repeatedly.

This is the type of voice used to railroad people into a certain point of view. It's trying to stonewall and invalidate and gaslight anyone who dare even consider the possibility of the lab leak. As an American in my 30s I've grow

To be fair, this man's job was to identify the type of person who is likely to succeed at startups, and by most accounts he was very successful at it. Understanding personality traits and how they relate to the people you're looki

Agreed that it's right to be suspicious of the motives of any venture capitalist that makes a post like this (nothing against Fred Wilson personally). One thing I noticed at my last few startups is that the initial option agreements te

Yep came in here to see if this was flagged and it was. Reinforces the author's point, and of course HN is part of the problem.

To add to this, you don't even need to know what the antibody looks like, or even if it exists. Very simplified example: It's possible to grow a dish of cancer cells (because they divide quickly and are immortal, e.g HeLa cells),

This is the type of thing that can really benefit from public disclosure and discourse. What's "acceptable" varies so much by person and over time that having the censoring done in a black box will never be the answer. The gu

I was feeling okay about this article until seeing this colossal punt: > That said, the real intention behind this pattern is to keep the API/view/controller lightweight and free of excessive logic, which is something we would

This article resonated with me quite a bit, the Bridgewater connection notwithstanding. People love to sensationalize Ray Dalio as a cult figure and, at the same time, seem to not be able to stand how successful his firm has been. My encoun

The article makes a number of points that resonate with me and were the initial reason I felt obligated to start my own company: * Corporate and management issues / misalignments * Uninteresting work content (e.g. fixing old bugs all t

As much as I loved the concept of turntable, it was always a music service for me rather than the interactive experience they intended. The best part about it was that other users, not bots or radio station managers, determined the playlist

You bring up a great point that some people are naturally great fits for startup life and terrible fits for corporations. As the ecosystem improves for startups, fewer and fewer of these types will be forced into corporations which hopefull

The article talks about startup founders having low risk because of money and stability, and that's absolutely true in my experience (especially of people who jump into startups immediately out of college). What the article fails to me

I always thought using fans to repel mosquitoes was common knowledge, but thinking back it was a trip to China where I learned about it. In fact, it was the same trip where I discovered the plug-in hormone packs AND the electric fly swatter

In a way, I'm happy I'm not the only one who has thought about this situation. I do this every time I'm on an outbound 7 train in New York. The train runs first through a hipster/young area, then a number of distinct ethnic neighborhoods, a
