A wasteless means of payment and accounting is wishful thinking, from my point of view. We don't really use cash anymore, but a digital representation of it. This comes with a lot of electricity consumption on datacenters, among other

Criminals send illegal goods from Colombia to Europe through amateur submarines [1]. Doesn't require much thinking to guess what submarines come back filled with. It's not that they can't move money illegally already. We woul

Java and the JVM had considerable marketing investiment to become a popular choice among the enterprise segment. Python was taught in many universities for its flat learning curve, then started to be used in academic research. Even without

Very interesting. I would like to listen more to this side of the debate. Everywhere I read is "demographic bomb" or "chaos", which seems to be a bubble. Would you be able to point some references for different arguments

> I think religion is a poor analogy, because except in a few extreme cases like Iran, religion doesn't seek to create a totalitarian framework for every personal thought or action. Sure, now tell that joke to Giordano Bruno. The le

This seems to be very useful. I'm finding a much better experience browsing references made within a paper.

I think you have an issue in your UI, or I don't understand how it's supposed to be used When I have the results from an article in my screen and use the top search to find another, it only updates the upper part of the page with

Thanks! Weird, I searched for that DOI moments before and it showed this result: "This publication either has no citations yet, or we are still processing them" Let me look into others

@sleepingsoul , how good is your database? Just tried a random paper I've read recently (DOI 10.1109/32.748920). It shows "no citations" in Scite, but Google Scholar shows "Cited by 1180": https://sc

That's because we were seeing massive dips in other diseases in the months prior. There is an official determination from the State-level government in Brazil to consider all deaths as COVID unless a doctor can prove otherwise. By the

As a famous economist has said, Brazil is like "Belindia": Belgium and India in the same country. Deeply heterogeneous society, unfortunately. If you don't take this into consideration, you risk saying something really apart

The vast majority of people out there are not flat earthers. I wouldn't consider this as evidence that people in HN are better than others. Getting information is not thinking freely. I can get the best information possible, but if I d
