There are (right now) over 30 randomized, controlled trials on Ivermectin showing its effectiveness for COVID-19. To the people still insisting that it's misinformation: how many countries will need to adopt it before you concede that

There aren’t any measurable elements of personality that are fixed. Personality changes as you age. I’ve witnessed a reversal in each of the Myers-Briggs markers in the past 15 years (from INTJ to ESFP) — not intentionally, but that’s just

Good for you & your company! I’ve been watching the job stats and noticed a slump in junior positions.

Scary, but true. It's 100% inflation. I don't know what else to call it.

Some of the coolest stuff I've found is by putting a niche topic into YouTube and either sorting by newest first or filtering by "Last year." The "new" tab of HN also gets honorable mention.
