If the open-source community can read the carbon-based ink inside carbonized ancient scrolls, then there is likely no need to open normal mail to read what it says. https://scrollprize.org/grandprize

A lot of people out there have managed to get past stigmatizing STIs, viewing bacterial ones as no more remarkable than sinusitis so long as they get tested and treated. Between PrEP and vaccines for hepatitis and HPV, risks for the scaries

It’s not that complicated. A lot of people don’t like condoms, either wearing them or having a partner wear them. PrEP, to many, has rendered condoms unnecessary.

However, taking less pay for “meaningful” work is frequently an exploitative arrangement.

I feel the same way reading this. Nuclear tech sometimes comes across as a solution searching for a problem — here, a treatment searching for a disease.

If this turns out to be a big deal we can make compostable tires or some other alternative.

“Lorlatinib and crizotinib are both ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). ALK TKIs are targeted treatments that bind to the ALK protein found in ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer and stop the growth of tumour cells.” Great, so this i

My apologies, in listing elements with numbers I meant to make them easy to reference, rather than to suggest a temporal ordering of their use. I did write that (2) has been used alongside (1). And it’s not like the vague character attack

I believe that 2 things can be true: 1. Toner says some specific things. 2. Toner presents them alongside insinuations and plenty of vague and nonspecific things. Apparently (1) wasn’t sufficient to justify her actions, so she’s had to reso

Toner has cast out a whole constellation of vague and non-specific incidents that motivated her to oust Sam. If the case was as open-and-shut as (2), why has Toner continued making vague and non-specific character attacks, and why did the b

Sam was already rich, famous, and well-connected when he worked for YC.

I feel that naming one specific presentation of an infection for the pathogen isn’t so tenable now that we’ve realized there are multiple presentations. Consider, is subclinical TB not TB?

What about it? Show us the specifics, the receipts, and then maybe we can have a better idea.

From what I’ve seen quoted, Toner says a lot of things that are non-specific and therefore difficult to weigh, assess, verify, or challenge.
