This is, not to put too fine a point on it, crank science. Opening up the linked document, the DOI fails to resolve, the paper investigates pH variations in urine during tide cycles, and also skimming over it doesn't appear to make a s

An intervention on the household someone is raised in is not the same as an intervention on race. This is part of what it means when people say racism is a structural problem: people are, systematically, treated differently in many differen

This looks interesting as an approach to relating schema to data types. One aspect that feels very counter-intuitive/unidiomatic is that, if I understand correctly, in your example there is no Schema enum. Usually this sort of macro do

This is not an argument, and you have provided no evidence for your claims. There are numerous studies, and indeed meta-analyses of these[1][2] indicating that cash transfers can have a positive outcome for recipients. These interventions a

It is a fine form of forward secrecy: past messages aren't compromised by later keys being compromised. The sender/receiver ratchets essentially provide a notion of what a session means in an asynchronous environment, and the doub

This is similar to arguing in favour of the existence of dictatorships, as not having them restricts the choices of what kind of society people can choose to move to. The point is that in a democracy, at least in principle, people can choos

The employees can democratically decide how they want to run things. They can choose to issue stock, they can choose other people to make decisions about the business e.g. appoint a manager to make decisions for them. They cannot do these t

> If the story is "all companies must be fully employee-owned workers' cooperatives", then first, note that you are calling for a restriction on workers' rights: they have to be given part of their pay as stocks, and

This is not a place for your transphobia, and at the very least violates the "Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. That tramples curiosity." I'd have flagged this rather than responding but a

That is the argument you are making, and I struggle to see in what world being published in Nature is "being suppressed". They make the claim "vaccines that pose 50% higher excess risk of myocarditis compared to an infection&

Your first study does not show what you claim it does, or at least it is a gross simplification. These statistics are at the 10 per million scale i.e 0.001%, which is smaller than fatality rates for unvaccinated under-40s. That is to say t

I'm not sure we have the same understanding of emergence, here (and I'm not going to insist on being precise). I would think being emergent has something to do with a structure being present in a system which is not a fundamental

There are arguments that the Amazon is pushing down warehouse worker salaries [0,1] (i.e. $15/hr is certainly not the highest warehouse worker wage). I read this campaign mainly as a public relations move in attempt to undermine union

In the general case, you can compress a sequence of N biased coin flips with arithmetic coding. For a coin with known bias, this compression is (essentially) optimal and will therefore produce ~N*(Shannon information) unbiased bits.

I think these two sentences are different: it's analogous to treating a symptom vs treating an underlying condition.
