It seems it succeeded, by frustrating Warren and making it appear that she is significantly motivated by stifling dissenting voices, a possible abuse of the First Amendment [0]. I know there are lot of people here who identify with Warren&#

It's pretty undeniable that something significant is going on and has been for quite some time. What is now called drones might have been called UFO's or airships in a previous decade. And you see the same old characters saying &q

I'm no physicist but it seems like large things like galaxies should tend to rotate simply by the universal expansion analog to the Coriolis effect. Is there a pattern to the rotation that could confirm or reject that?

A lot of the polarizing nature of the modern Internet comes down to a two-team tribal mentality (two party system). Subreddits/forums like HN seem like an analog for the modern associations described by the article, and I do think they

Considering autoimmune disorders are barely understood at this point (and most have very little available in terms of treatment), it isn't such an extraordinary claim.

I agree -- the ability to put a flat rate bounty (similar to what is done with non-monetary bounties on Stack Overflow) would be a better way of fair price discovery. Maybe even allow the devs to place bids on problems and auction the price

I wonder how many people commenting have actually been part of a union. I have. My take is that if it's voluntary: great. If the union has negotiated that a company cannot hire you without being a part of the union: not great. Perhaps

I'm excited that this will really accelerate the space race. I think his relative lack of attention paid to Blue Origin (compared to Musk and SpaceX) is why they've fallen so far behind.
