There's all these linked stories of people suffering for years not knowing definitively what they have, a 5k test to diagnose for sure seems like a bargain. I don't understand why the CDC says chronic lyme doesn't exist and s

For cancer, you can do a biopsy and know for sure. The equivalent would seem to be presence of the bacterial infection in the body.

Just reading up about this issue. Root cause for the controversy seems to be difficulty of diagnosis. What prevents development of a "smoking gun" detector for lyme, finding the actual lyme causing bacteria in vivo in humans wit

I'm curious why there isn't a "smoking gun", i.e. the actual Lyme causing bacteria being found in vivo rather than these inconclusive diagnostic tests and questionnaires. Seems like the first step to Getting Serious.

Does it really need to be spelled out? :p 1. Incite outrage, 2. generate clicks and discussion, 3. profit! E: revisiting this because pure snark adds nothing. I think the heart of the issue is that the tests are inconclusive -- why can'

I think if the options are clear and up front, with the "exchange rate" between equity and salary laid out, what you said holds true. I think the tweeter is generally dissatisfied with how little transparency there was.

I guess if it's getting a good response on HN along the lines of "it's better than the other ones," it's close? :)

Epstein knew it was coming. And why would this be at odds with the root comment? Epstein's death served to protect the rich.

Try Greg Egan's Axiomatic. I picked it up from a free books charity knowing nothing about it, and found the author to be a little "harder" than Chiang but with the same focus on the humanity to be found in sci-fi.

This is great advice. I really enjoy ergonomic keyboards, and having as little strain on your wrist as possible is key. On "regular" non-split keyboards I ignore the touch-typist tenets and keep my wrists relaxed, so my index fing

Calling it "merely the art of debating" implies it lacks actual substance. I think philosophy concerns itself with what you debate about, not how you do it. Besides, nothing outside of dogma can "give you" a value sy

Won't argue with you on the point about car obsession--cities prioritizing cars over humans is a clear problem. I'd like to understand the incentives better--if SROs work well to put roofs over homeless, and lead to some level of

> Housing in places without jobs is not really housing, it's a structure. Great way to put what I was trying to say. Another way to think of it is that there are tons of abandoned houses due to lack of opportunity, but no jobs left

Re: 2. I've heard there's a huge surplus of vacant/dilapidated homes selling for a dollar in the rust belt. Is it really a problem of housing supply , or lack of demand , i.e. desire to live in, well, undesirable locations?

An education should not hand you a canned answer to what is "right" or "wrong", it should do almost the opposite. Learning to evaluate well founded opposing arguments is certainly more useful than being force fed moralis

Also the CLJS you see is using the vectors and hashmaps of the language, meaning much more direct manipulation the same way you'd program any other datastructure.

Isn't that use case just to save time on initial load? An SPA with SSR for load times is different from a webapp structured to have logic mostly in the server.

Wow, the Manzini et al. paper is particularly egregious, because they accidentally swapped "caucasian" and "black" in their actual query and still got the sensational word associations they wanted.
