Biologics do not contain living organisms. They contain proteins manufactured by genetically modified organisms.

He seems to be implying that this is a net good for tech companies to be funding research that doesn't directly affect their bottom line. I don't know what you read.

Oh I don't know the same way every other class of job across every other sector in the economy evaluates their candidates? Imagine hiring a PhD in Physics to lead your Applied Rese…

Perhaps but he wasn't rejected for bad fit he was rejected for lack of CS trivia knowledge.

I applaud your honesty. There is a bizarre religion on HN where people think that doing well at Whiteboard/algo interviews makes you a good engineer or is somehow crucial to recrui…

> labor is still very high quality. China wut?

The problem is that a mountain of evidence stands against climate deniers and your example "could offer no acceptable scientific explanation for his findings."

Seriously fuck off.

There is overwhelming consensus that the current rate of climate change, which by the way is totally unprecedented in history, can be from no other source than anthropogenic CO2. Y…

Do you also listen to debates on both sides of the Flat Earth Debate? Or the Moon Landing Debate? The scientific consensus is overwhelming and spending even a second debating or li…

But there is a rump dumbass part of the population that doesn't believe in it and they consistently elect leaders that don't believe either. What exactly do you think people can do…

Ok well I can't wait for us to send a probe lightyears away to determine if the universe is curved. See you in 2500 CE

Not sure they're the best example since they almost exclusively target disease whose treatment would be profitable. It's possible that many new drugs could be more easily developed…

The publish or perish system is obviously a major issue. But in fields like Physics all the low hanging fruit really is gone. To probe deeper into particle physics we need massivel…

Yes clearly children should have the right to be born with Tay-Sachs disease, Harlequin ichthyosis and Lesch-Nyhan Syndrome. They should be forced to live a live of abject horror t…

More like the "Journal of truths that are uncomfortable for SJWs" Your attitude precisely demonstrates the need for such a journal.

Equating Soros and the Kochs is literally insane. Edit: https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2018/10/donald-trump-george-... Please find me an example of Obama publicly endorsing a left…

I bet there were Nazi's whose jobs were to feed the poor in Berlin. Doesn't immunize them from what the rest of them were doing.

You could probably say that about 90% of the people in the Bay Area.

I think you misunderstood. It's certainly possible to learn a lot by doing Leetcode. I'm saying that since solutions are available to their problems that you could simply memorize …
