I'd rather that your sex worker acquaintances spend their energy surveying the existing body of academic literature on the subject than to make pleas to me. Not trying to be snarky here, and I'm not mounting a defense for complete

The casual characterization of sex work as a victimless phenomenon is a mistake we better not make. Prostitution and sex work is often rooted in poverty: https://dspace.wlu.edu/bitstream/handle/11021/34747&#x2

You don't offer a convincing argument. We're witnessing the current real estate system destroy society before our very eyes, to propose then this idea that an inherently deflationary currency system is going to be a win is, I say

Are you using viper or evil-mode often (or some other thing which gives emacs vi bindings, I think there are a couple)? Because navigating text with emacs gives me the emacs pinky, I'm wondering how folks deal with that. Transposed cps

Absolutely. I don't think I've ever played a playable public piano. In fact, I remember last year I happened to be visiting Harvard Law School (I think Langdell Hall) and I saw a piano and I thought to myself that since it's

This is the same Marik behind efforts to treat COVID with Ivermectin. The paper he co-authored about treating COVID was found to have major issues and was retracted. As for this particular paper about the Vitamin C trial (which hasn't

I don't mean to suggest that (also as it turns out there's just a frightful scarcity of doctor candidates willing to work in rural America to begin with so that's a moot point to argue any which way). I sought to note the par

Medical sector has one responsibility: take care of the patients. Doctors that share a racial and cultural with their patients are able to provide better care. It's been seen in multiple studies that elder African American women are mo

I chime in only to say thank you, because a mere upvote seemed insufficient. Nowhere else, other than from you, can I get these viewpoints, and uttered in such thought-provoking and impactful ways. Please never leave us. :)

Oh man, I'd literally been looking for this for so long, very glad to have rediscovered it. Separately, in the spirit of debate, I'm happy to see the comment made by 'takes_joke_literally (meme account as it may be) actually

I think the admin account is getting mailed. And uhmmm, that's my issue, I don't remember what even the account name of my GSuite admin is... much less the password.

I frequently choose not to watch films because I can't find the right subtitles for them. They are an absolute boon for those interested in learning foreign languages.

There is a video in your first link. Trudeau does in fact say that, though in French (and as someone who speaks French and has just listened to the first-hand recording, yes, the translation is more or less correct). I'm inclined to

It is understood that it's not 100% effective, we enforce these restrictions upon ourselves in part so that we just slow it down and spread it out over time, so that medical centers are not overwhelmed and unable to provide care to tho

Oh, finally a big keyboard manufacturer has the cojones to move Capslock away from prime keyboard space. I have Advantage keyboard and usually wrote off physically separated keyboards, but thinking more about it now, I do wish my Advantage&

I think it is worthwhile to distinguish the two, and I think generally speaking it's the use of bespoke 0days that separates nation state attackers from all others. One can't really arrange the funding of computer scientists/

There's a selection bias at play here that one would be remiss to simply ignore -- elite athletes are likely on gear, the cardiovascular disease is probably due to misuse of said gear for a large part of these deaths. There's rece

Maybe comments like these are upvoted because it's fun to be contrarian, or maybe because a significant subset of HN audience consists of outliers like Robbe himself and empathize with folks like him easily. But this does not even begi

Congrats on the nature publication! And congrats on making the HN frontpage, I think this is one of the few times I've seen a paper (as opposed to a news article about a paper) on the frontpage. What type of epoxy do you use? I imagine
