If we define a set of criteria by which that tweet can be deemed “antisemitic”, then applying that same criteria to comments about white people made by countless progressive-minded journalists would deem those journalists fanatically anti-w

If this is one of the most devastating aspects of colonialism, then colonialism must not have been very bad. Before we have a conversation about this, I urge everyone to research the degree of soil depletion in formerly-colonized Africa,

I have a concern. A few months ago, a widely publicized study[1] indicated that moderate-to-large amounts of exercise caused a buildup of plaque in the hearts of middle-aged white men. This correlation was not seen in any women, nor was it

I wonder whether this variant is similar to APOE E4 allele—which significantly increases one's risk of Alzheimer's—in that its affect can be minimized by lifestyle changes. In men, APOE E4's disadvantages can be almost comple

It's plausible that this would negatively impact transgender women, considering dementia is associated with lower testosterone levels in men. Please see: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12708367

Is there any way for those of us with average intelligence to contribute to tools like this? I know I'm a decent developer, but I feel entirely entirely inadequate to participate in this enormous, scary world of AI.

It'll barely affect those of us already in the industry, because we can easily differentiate ourselves from the herd based on our experience. But it'll really put the squeeze on the glut of grads who are competing with each other.
