I remember writing soy is basically poison and definitely not a health food here on HN not long ago. People would be smart to wise up to this sooner rather than later. It is still an extremely unpopular stance because many are lead to belie

Like it or not, the civillian bombings of Japan were absolutely necessary. Japan was a very sick and diseased nation and culture at the time. They had made a national, media broadcasted sport of beheading children. They had turned deadly hu

Even prior to advanced theories, we know of plague doctors who made efforts to protect themselves. People knew there was something going on between infections that spread them even before the more advanced germ theories of Pasteur.

A theory proposed by a professor at my school was: The black death killed a lot of the people who grouped in churches and ignored the common sense precautions of staying away from people. This could be seen as a culling of what was largely

I grow concerned with the increase in addiction research among technology companies. The language is disguised as user retention, engagement, social, gamification, etc. I do not have a solution to this problem and it is a problem that I mys

Social media addiction can lead to severe mental health issues, eating disorders, depression, and even suicide. Video game addiction often leads to children and adults completely destroying their professional or academic lives. In many case

Twitters design makes it kind of a weird one way communication tool. Elon Musk can tweet something and a million people will reply. What percentage if those replies are bots, shills, or people trying to get money out of some offer of employ

Ukraine has been invaded by Russia and lost land for years now. This isn't a conspiracy theory, but is instead conspiracy fact. The strategy of appeasement is known to fail because it emboldens dictators like Hitler or Putin to always

LO has a lot of room for improvement. I am confident it will improve. I use it in a way that is pretty incredible and goes beyond the uses people are discussing on HN. I have watched developers of the project discuss what they are working o

It is an ideology that is sustained through censorship, faith, loyalty tests, and suppression. It is particularly amusing when it pretends to be a science and makes recommendations on how to manage your company, hiring, or engineering teams

The natural sciences offer a unique opportunity for an individual to change the world on their own. Institutions and peer review exist only to verify that the individual offered the best new model of the world. Academia has been taken over

I thought this recent drive toward marxist / equity / wealth redistribution positions were the very source of all division and polarisation. I am an extreme skeptic of any such study if it found that appeasement through giving the

Russia already did invade Ukraine. It has been taking Ukraine territory and waging war on Ukraine for years now. Last time Russia took over Ukraine, they genocided millions; It wasn't that long ago, either.

All of this just seems like government is developing an addiction for lazy police work. A dragnet approach of digital malware and backdoors is a form of automated policing that will always be as unpopular as red light traffic ticket cameras

I cannot imagine an entry level class in Web Development (or even a coding bootcamp) not dedicating some time to crypto and SSL / SSH. Anyone doing a deepdive on these topics would seemingly be put on a list. It is absurd.

It makes me wonder -- does everyone end up investigated for their interest in HTTPS and trying to think up encryption methods? It seems even having a passive interest in computer science or cryptocurrency would inevitably lead to one takin

Interventions work differently for different diseases. Influenza is significantly hampered by social distancing, surgical masks, and elbow coughs. Covid 19 is a different virus and the interventions of a flu pandemic are not going to yield

You misunderstood or I was not clear. N95s do filter viruses when used properly and still within their rated window of use.

N95s work via an electric polarity of the filter. This charge is what captures the viruses. Filtration fades when the charge is lost. I don't need to see your studies because I have helped build and certify N95 factories and know a lot

There is no evidence that I am aware of which would indicate places with strict mandates (Boston or LA) did significantly better or worse than places that made such mandates illegal (Texas). The outbreak curves and percentages are basically
