If they have gone unread for centuries how can they be so easily dismissed?

This is a really bad example of an anachronism, stop using it. They carbon dated a camel remain found in a particular settlement and are using it as the upper bound for domestication when it should be the lower bound. That's silly. Ear

I have never understood the opposition to the law of physics you seem to hold. What is the alternative? That we merely observe rigid patterns that are baked into physical reality? Isn't whatever is 'baked in' more or less a &

I'm a former DCSS player. I actually love the opacity and lack of documentation in the game. One of the truly enchanting elements of older rogue likes was the randomness, undocumented features, and various other things along those line

The audience is an interested one, capable of reading at or above college level. The paragraphs are coherent and well structured. Not everything is a pop science article written for middle school level readers.

For most of human history, by the time you were an adult one or more of your parents were likely dead anyway.

I think the error is one of imagining evolution finds maxima of this sort. It just finds acceptable local values that are good enough to survive generation to generation. Ex) Biological immortality seems like a great trait for animals to ha

One of the major problems with American 'orthodox' are that they embrace only the easy parts of orthodoxy. Often I've heard that 'orthodox dont believe in original sin' and other such nonsense. These beliefs are wid

I know what you mean about writing causing pain in the hands and wrists... Have you ever tried cursive? I can write much longer and with less pain when using cursive - really night and day.

Psychopathy is clearly ill defined . Kinda hard to find a link to such a vague category.

I think this list is accurate by our modern definitions of fascism. But did actual facists define it this way? Moreover, did the nazis actually have the same ideological\philosophical underpinnings as italian facism? I'm not sure this

Interesting perspective. They were advertising WATSON everywhere and it did seem like they wanted it to be big. I worked for rational doing... less savoury stuff but it did pay the bills!

Agree completely , the leadership was selling the farm piece by piece.

I was an intern at IBM from 2010-2015, and then an full time engineer for a short while before moving on. I agree completely that the change in leadership marked an inability to really bring WATSON to market, and some other products too. Wh

You can find this coverage in the US too. I think its normal for a countries population to focus mostly on their own team(s) in international competition. Even for the world cup, that's the what it is (mostly). I don't think its &

I'm always happy to see projects trying to make a decentralized future. I'm always sad to see the critical , pedantical side of HN's userbase point out that few ecosystems are completely decentralized and then claim that ruin

The numbers I've seen are something like as low as a few thousand for European population, but more like 5k for African populations Of course, these are model populations based on idealized breeding right- I believe the way these estim

I think the point about IVF and surrogacy is really quite a good one. Would it be better to freeze eggs at 18 than 25? Is there a 'too early?'

I think the author presents his points from strongest to weakest. People have different priorities in life. Just how much someone cares about career, financial, social success really feeds into how they'd weigh these points. I would sa

I'd agree that it's a poor sole reason to date, but its definitely something to think about if you really want children. Two of my girlfriends in their mid 30s are 'technically' able to get pregnant but functifinally una

Nobody is saying it's impossible, on average - but people aren't aggregate statistics. Some women are already going to be unable to get pregnant by 35, more by forty. Many more will struggle, but might be able to get pregnant. I b

Aliens are like angels and demons in 12 century Europe- they're everywhere but you'll never see them.

This reads like a 'just so' story to me. Do people in America with one or two children really not have more because they think this is maximizing the expected number of grandchildren? This doesn't seem realistic to me. I thin

This is probably an overestimate right, since they did not randomly sample but instead had voluntary responses. they indicate in the analysis that the child free group were more left leaning, and I'd Imagine that group might also be mo

I completely disagree with the analysis of smith vs gladwell's writing style. Gladwell's is less verbose, but not better - it says far less and it says it less well. The kincaid grade level of the gladwell's text is 7, the le

I think most people claiming a lab leak believe that the virus was ultimately of natural origin, and was 'engineered' only in the sense of being tested in a lab and leaking from said experiments. Some also hold that it could be a
