I found this article from a month ago easier to read: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/10/orders-top-eus-timetab... But maybe that is just because it contains fewer German words. Edit: the top link has now

.. then all you end up finding is conflict? In a better forum the original proposal by the particle physics community would have reached the front page and then a version of this blog post could have been a valid comment. Now it is the othe

I am afraid that, no matter how well thought out a strategy or plan for the future really is, there is always a ranting blogger who will get more attention. And in that tradition I guess I should have expected a dismissive reply using '

79 points as of now. And how many points would hacker news have given to the Nature comment by Giudice and Gianotti? It is both curious and sad to see the outsize attention given to bitter polemicists (and not just in physics). Please read

Seemingly completely reasonable... but I think your assumption can be classified under falsehood number 7 (People's names do not change) in https://www.kalzumeus.com/2010/06/17/falsehoods-programmers-...

Hah, I guess that would be falsehood number 7 in the above link ("People’s names do not change.") Are you a programmer by any chance? In Dutch one capitalizes 'De' if it is the first word of the name. So the article is c

Could you explain why you think this proposal would help you avoid lens? If I am not mistaken all of the above code can easily be rewritten in the old syntax without using lens, so you probably have another use case in mind?

I would like to make a small point about the letter signed by "hundreds of scientists around the world". According to the NY Times there were in fact 239 signatories, which coincidentally is almost the same number as the "253

Those are some very good points, thank you. The lack of paid sick leave makes me both sad and worried. My guess is that changing that situation, even temporarily, could make a big difference in containing the pandemic. I could not find a re

It is a bit surprising to me that there is such a strong focus in the US on school closures and mask wearing (here on HN but also in the major newspapers). It is my impression that in quite a few European countries there have been, and to s

In response to the question about the best book to learn [subject] from, the best answer I ever received was: "the third book". The point being, of course, that it may take a few different expositions before something 'clicks
