This just reminds me to never assumes someone's reality. I speak more than two languages. And I disagree. Papers are read by all type of people, I don't know why you assume scientific papers which are almost all written in English

It became clear in 2024 and 2025 that they're all dangerous. All these tech billionaires or pseudo billionaires are basically believing that an enlightened dictatorship is the best form of governance. And of course they ought to be the

This is a clear example where diversity of lived experiences make for a better product. I have no doubt that a young monolingual US developer can't imagine that many, if not most, people around the world are juggling between two or mor

It's hard for people to accept it because it raises new questions about the reaction to adopt. If it's true then you know you should resist or you're complicit. A lot ot of 20/30/40 something Americans are going to

The definition of conservative is conserving the monarchy during the french revolution. From the start it was and remain to this day an ideology for those currently in power to conserve their power.

It clearly lacks a meta lesson about letting go of strong opinions, especially when he held them before doing any prior research.

On the other hand why does one of the richest company on earth, who can afford to hire the smartest people on earth, resort to unpaid volunteers on a site like HN to fix their product? Don't they use their own tools? Is there an intern

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but what I got was that there's nothing to patent because phages are found in sewers and mud pools as is. Also every individual with a bacterial infection needs a custom cocktail so there's
