Why don't they just target hedge-funds? Its easier because there are less people to manipulate.

No they don't. In my experience they become professors or get hired by top tier companies like Roche.

I am also from a molecular biology background and saw this often. We call these guys the "Golden Boys". They are super successful, but completely useless. If you still believe live is fair, wake up sunshine.

Its still news. You just want to an opinion, which is not news.

40K is pretty cheap for an education these days. Especially a really top notch education of the real world, which this guy got.

Spark plugs. People break into cars through windows pretty easily to steal stuff in my country. They use spark plugs.

The incentives are pretty bad for researchers in China. Cheating and corruption is the best way to progress rather than innovation. I find it waste of time reading a Chinese scientific article, yet Chinese scientist in the US or Canada are

How would you define calling for the genocide of the Rohingya people? Would you define that as hate speech? This is an important question for right wingers to answer. Should we be tolerant of your intolerance?

I think you are confusing right learning opinions with outright racism, anti-Semitism and calling for violence against various minority groups.

Can you provide evidence supporting massive de-platforming. As far as I know a few far right people who blatantly abused the TOS were banned. Most of these guys can freely post on Twitter and Facebook.

Sometimes it's almost as if the people I speak to are from a different planet. I have to explain what Facebook did to their brain.

I believe this is hell. Hours of your life wasted in traffic because the rest of the population believes the same. I ran out of battery power on camera in Barcelona. I got off the tour bus and was at my hotel room within 10 minutes to plug

Many people over estimate our capabilities regarding manipulation of biological systems. A gain function is extremely difficult to get right. It is more likely that zoonotic transfer occurred. Either within a wet market or people operating

If it was Facebook's policy to remove what hackernews determines to be "crap content" then this should be communicated to the users so that they can adjust their behavior. They did not change their policies nor was the accoun

You are also assuming that being a hateful place to work in is what made it successful.

Just to add to the list. Keep a paper trail of all communications between you and your line management or any other colleague. Especially abusive communications. It will look really bad when you read these out aloud at a HR meeting for them

How do you know this? A Farmville player might have been proud of his/her farm? It might have given them hours of pleasure and joy. Why should you dictate what they should feel?

Isn't this the case for all medicines? Vaccines mechanism of action makes it safer than any other medicine as they are harnessing the bodies own immune response system.

It's really amazing how a very slight majority is able to upend the country for generations. There should have been a series of referendums.

Should all speech be free? If the speech calls for the genocide of the Rohingya should it be allowed on a private platform. Remember, radio and TV has always been regulated and censored. Why shouldn't same standards be applied to Faceb

If you listened to metal you didn't go out and shoot Muslims. On YouTube you have people deliberately manipulating facts to convince people to follow their extremist views. You are comparing apples to oranges. You should compare the hi

There is a difference between saying, Mrs. Jones has a bad yeast infection and there are many yeast infections this time of year. The one is giving patient information the other is discussing the disease.

I think the RIAA is actually making Top40 music invisible to the internet. They will continue to blame the fall in revenue on piracy rather than their brain dead strategy of removing music from the Internet zeitgeist.

I don't think we will have the political will to stop climate change. The same misinformation strategy that is blocking effect coronavirus control comes from the climate change denialist playbook. There is probably going to be mass mig

It doesn't make sense to a computer savvy hacker news poster perspective. But to everyone else, the reason they use it because they don't really care or thought about it. It will continue to be the most popular meeting app despite
