"And justifying them on the basis of politics—prohibiting, for instance, grants that include language referencing diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI)—was unheard of until now." You could rewrite this the other way for the prior

You're right, but because nuance isn't allowed on HN, you'll be down voted. Primarily the focus has shifted to faster approvals with evidence for new methods and drugs coming down to one high quality trial, and removed stipul

Gotcha so no real ability to recall this is the same outlet that worked hard to reveal private details about the lives of people it is also now calling anti-intellectualism. The article is just a regurgitation of the zeitgeist including the

This is just wrong and frankly naive. While Israel has always been crying wolf over them having nuclear weapons, they had facilities purifying uranium to weapons grade up and running. We can debate whether they were close to a nuke or not,

I'm not sure where or by whom you you were told it's a fragile, prone-to-collapse form of government, but I wasn't. Communism has a stranglehold on the societies it spawns within because the elite keep it that way. Show me a

Most of this land was low-utility anyway. You should realise it is good for the land owners to convert it to high yield output, which in turn the government can tax and return some of the gains to the people. What's the alternative ?

This take is bunk. I travel to China every year and in each major city, for each filled skyscraper, there is another that is half built and empty.

Does anyone have a right to land, except for that which is enforceable by the threat of violence? Why are they called Native Americans? Is all land simply owned by the first foot put there anywhere in the planet? I'm not defending &quo
