Wouldn't we expect to see substantially more than 30% of the DNA be different. I don't think carbon dating can be used to extract DNA. I also would have thought DNA would have degr…

Not that this is really the core of your point at all - but I believe the state of the science currently suggests that pheromones in humans are a myth at worst, at best unproven. W…

Is this also an argument for determinism in the Bible? I'm guessing not because that would somewhat goes against some of the bigger messaging.

How has it sped up your writing of software? It's not integrated into an IDE like GH co-pilot yet is it? I only find I reach for it for stuff like navigating some curly regex or fo…

Seems reasonable. Although I would tweak it to say you can't control when each turn ends.

That is not a clinically recognised term.

You are responding to a satirical comment, riffing on the 'hacker news famous' comment that was criticising Dropbox during its infancy.

That is hilarious. Can we use deep fakes combined with trump's spite to move him closer toward the left??

The "agree?" is quintessential LinkedIn. Such an utterly shallow pretence for engaging a discussion.

I feel like I've missed the context leading to this perspective. Where was the discourse on t-cells shut down?

What makes it important? Isn't protein really easy to get from veges? Like chickpeas, tofu, tempeh, quinoa, edamame, lentils, etc

As a young boy I was convinced this was a conspiracy. Until I saw the PBS documentary and a 90s website debunking the JFK movie (which I really enjoyed). Helped set me on my journe…

What level of testing would make these vaccines non experimental in your mind, and what other vaccine do you know that has had that level of rigour applied? I'm genuinely curious

Jetbrains is trying to catch up on this, and in some cases has.

There's no way to be notified of comment replies, or see votes, though. But otherwise I love it as well.

This, imo. Netflix did the exact same thing.

This makes me think of how steam does indeed have some smarts to warn users when a game may be getting review brigaded. I think it's a combination of volume of reviews by time, and…

Agreed, people made the same argument for removing 5 star ratings from Netflix ('people only ever vote 1 star or 5 stars'). If this were an input for the decision making, these pla…

I felt like Lex just took him on faith for so many points. This was a hard listen to me. Some really interesting points were raised but I didn't feel like there was much fleshing o…

It must only be pretty extreme cases as Russel Brand and Brett Weinstein still have their videos up.

That blog is horrific on mobile

Are there any examples of people doing this? Sounds interesting

Sometimes in Western Australia I forget covid is happening if I don't check the news. Brief, sweet moments. We haven't been in a lockdown longer than 3 days in quite some time.

I thought Gmail was much worse, scanning email contents etc.

Afaik they operate out of the US. I'm not sure if the NSA is really any better, perhaps just less forthright. I mean, I don't know what to believe, the whole FBI app.le thing makes…
