This is a braindead opinion. Why would anyone work as hard as possible when there are 0 incentives to do so? When at any moment you could be fired without warning in a mass layoff and when even the highest performers only get 5-10% raises p

I believe it's already straightforward for a decent bio lab at a large University to synthesize dangerous viruses. So it would only be a matter of time until they could selectively add or subtract from the genetic code to create except

How are people not more skeptical of this. This would without doubt be the most successful trading run in history and we are expected to believe that a self taught HN rando who couldn't even get into an AI lab did this with 5 people in

Doesn't this make the case that we should be building institutions and systems resistant to this type of cheating? Why should it be possible at all to game Journals in this way? Particularly in Computer Science journals where people th

>It also gave the US an opportunity to show how effective it could be when it had the political cover to do so. Not sure what you mean, what did the US do exactly?

Are there other tests to determine prion disease related brain degeneration? Seems hard to believe they can't identify at all what the cause is.

Name some? My experience with authors like Cixin Liu and some contemporaries is that they are unreadable, this could just be bad translations in Liu's case but I'm not at all convinced modern writers rival the classical greats in

Unlimited vacation as a perk at US tech companies and startups in particular is a total illusion. I'm sure they never use 4 weeks a year that most Europeans are legally entitled to and if they tried would probably find that it is not n

>Sure, have all your money taken without a say to be given crap, rationed care, or most likely die waiting in line. Talk about strawman. By any objective measure the US healthcare system is the worst in the developed world.
