   How does that relate to epidemiology? In a previous discussion here you made basic errors like referring to a study from a single clinic as if it was representative of all of New York.

   The user exists to promote this site. The author of this site admits they have no expertise. This and previous posts make hyperbolic claims with little to no evidence.

    I wonder if there's compositing at work here? In Alexanderplatz there's a woman blinking in the foreground from 0:37 to 0:41 but her friend's hand moves a couple inches. Then at 0:57 there's a woman who starts blinking a

    If there are any significant similarities in implementation, independent reinvention seems more likely. The list of similarities appears to me to be mostly surface-level trivialities of marketing copy rather than technical details, and I se

    The marketing sounds like they've stepped up the app/cloud bits with a browser plugin, etc. Do you know for certain the second version still supports the non-cloud snycing? The support site is incompletely updated for the new devi

    Any details on whether they've fixed search? Zoom? Or made it a mountable USB drive so it doesn't require their app or similar janky solutions? The first one really looked nice, but all the reviews were full of practical usability

    (I'm the Lobsters admin.) I think "better" is too reductive a framing for comparing things as broad and deep as online communities. There's no single dimension to judge quality on, and it's largely a matter of perso

    Yep, and it's slow, too. I just deployed some code to improve it last week and we've got some more in the pipeline. In the meantime, a Google search with `site:lobste.rs` is probably more effective.

    Thanks for the reference! I found LTMI's registration in Delaware (file numbers 6362713 and 5806497; 4797091 looks unrelated). I see how this doc says Kape is acquiring LTM, but Freenode's announcement specifically says it's
