Sad, but true. We're not anti-science. HN is one place where I'm quite sure everyone loves science. What we are is aware that the establishment entrusted with interpreting science has gone completely off the rails, and it has noth

This is not me trying to be edgy or snippy. During an era when eugenics was the predominant belief of the professional class in America, when they openly promoted "mercy killings" of certain classes of people, withheld treatment o

I consider the idea of doctors deciding who lives and who dies to be applied eugenics. "First, do no harm." Maybe that's not how the situation really looked on the ground, but that's what the author of the piece presents

You just repeated the same thoughts in an even more condescending way and still didn’t explain why they’re wrong. It’s so odd that top level comment would be flagged.

This comment is a bonanza of appeals to authority, straw man arguments, and ad hominems. At HN we generally prefer to see steelmanning. Would you like to take a shot at explaining why the most charitable interpretation of the Drosten review

I became convinced of this myself when I worked for a large digital publisher. Direct sold ads outperformed programmatic by a large margin and are easier to implement. All it takes is someone to make the deal. Therein lies the rub. If ad te

Cheap, but not free. If it means that a spammer can send 100 emails before marked as spam instead of 10,000 or 100,000, it changes the landscape for sure.

by tboyd47 6y ago
Yeah, but tech is not a zero-sum game, and the path of history is not linear. Email is becoming a pay to play system where you’re spam if you’re not one the approved senders, and this seems like an elegant idea to correct that.

Sounds like the previous ideas were all flawed, and the trend (which is all that it is— a trend) towards internet centralization stalled progress after that.

Actually, yes. Contrary to received wisdom, most Rails devs learn Rails before or as they learn Ruby.

Why would that help? At least now that they've been exposed, we all know what they're up to.
