You can ban me then (or just let this be my last post). This HN user spend a year blasting the lab leak hypothesis, going so far as to point to Wikipedia's allowed sources, to try …

We know that patient 0 was not at the market, and that people at the market got infected. So, perfectly valid scenario: 1. Scientists do controversial Gain-of-function research by …

Deadlines are calculated from the average worker speeds. Perhaps some Amazon employees really are below average, or do not give it their best at all, so they are forced to piss in …

Agreed. But if Turing left a letter with the motive, or was known depressed or irrational, then I would not question the hypothesis that Turing was driven to suicide. Right now I c…

Interesting, thanks. Lots of information there, and this should all be investigation better.

It was not hindsight. Those expats were interviewed ("locked in Wuhan") and broke the "official" timeline. In my mind, it can not be excused that China either: did not know about H…
