Why are the poor in the America described in terms of "meth heads"? Being poor is not a moral failure.

Main note: if you work full time you must be able to afford a child. It's a basic human need and absolute requirement for the future of country and economy. Developed countries like the USA and Japan are going into a crisis where there

They are not a public square. They do have the right to censor you. Especially, if you spread misinformation and hatred.

This post is classic Dunning-Kruger. Florida arrested a statistician who was attempting to publish the real death toll. So can we seriously accept thier count as the truth? California and New York were hit before they could implement lockdo

I wonder who is the 'source' of this 'information'. Could it be a European?

I wonder if you drove your car today. Or bought apples from South America.

You would be in real trouble if you have a bacterial infection. You will need to on some kind of antibiotic.

An exercise in skepticism is actually asking a specific question that bothers you about the article. And not just a random "I don't believe this".

The target audience for the article are white Europeans living in the USA or Europe, where racism is often targeted at black Africans or African heritage.

Cultural diversity is not the same as genetic diversity.

A dataset with no variability makes it impossible to find any useful pattern. You are only counting the blue M&Ms in the jar. > Europeans are not clones In terms of genetic diversity, yes, they are. I don't know where you get yo

by wesleywt 5y ago
The European datasets are essentially useless because they lack diversity. So you cannot make any generalisations. You need a highly diverse dataset to start looking for patterns of expression in subgroups to draw any meaningful conclusions

I hope this isn't true. Imagine if flat earth, anti-vaccines and 911 was faked becomes "orthodoxy". We'd be a regressed society.

Coming from a genetics background, I can tell you the fact that it worked once is a massive achievement in itself. This is science fiction.

Not everyone in the world a completely knowledgeable in the field of computational biology and GWAS as the average HackerNews reader to consider it "pretty pedestrian".

The article was not written for rats but for humans who love to anthropomorphize. So you comment is moot.

Why go through all that trouble when regular banks already launder cash for you.

My dog lived 19 years. A corgi. The best pupper ever.

I would look at treatment for humans first for solutions to the dog's problems. I don't think it's as developed as medical research in humans or livestock for that matter. Proper breeding and genetic testing might actually be

Yes, Facebook do have that right. But they also have a right to look stupid while doing it.

You know this thing called gold. All you are doing is being an early investor in "gold" in the hopes that a future "investor" will hand a greater amount to you for the "gold". This is all there is to it.

You don't need to read faster. You will need to learn how to understand what you are reading quicker. Speed reading does not help with this. Only practice and carefully building up your understanding of subject so that assimilating new

Surprisingly my reasons for not eradicating pests like mosquitoes and tsetse flies is that these insects protect natural environments from human encroachment. Remove these pest, makes it easier for humans to enter and region, then do untold

HN is anti-Bitcoin. You probably should take these comments with a grain of salt until there is more balance.

The Japanese have a culture of tearing down and rebuilding houses after a few decades. So a prefab building makes perfect sense. There is no reason to build a prefab with aircon and insulation. Here in South Africa, most middle class houses

Well I am getting censored by you for pointing out your bias (my comment is being flagged). I also mentioned some don't live here anymore. As to being a whiner. Most of these post when South Africa is mentioned has the whiner replies h

The typical internet South African tends to post extremely negative news about the country. Some of them haven't lived here in many years after immigrating to Australia or some place just as "racially homogenous". We are a ne

No. Its still irrelevant to the fact that the Oxford vaccine is probably ineffective to the South African strain. The post is more South African whining rather than the discussion at hand.
