Grandma would love the homebrew CLI!

This is standard fear-mongering from Apple fanboys. The truth is that consumers gravitate to lean, high-quality apps regardless of a review process - the market is the ultimate rev…

Outside of the "cult of Mac", people aren't really convinced on a $1000 laptop-ish device, on which apps are only allowed to run after passing an anal probe from the app store revi…

1. Invest 50% in an index fund 2. For the short term gains, Gilead sciences, and other antiviral makers, even generic chloroquine & friends, are likely to gain FDA approval for CV.…

Because overconfident Reddittors >> HNers

I don't understand. Regardless of COVID, they always need to consider the impact on developers. Like I said in my previous comment, the newly remote Chrome team may be facing many …

Remote work now is likely lower in productivity than normal-times WFH. If a software company cannot adjust to remote delivery, albeit at lower than normal productivity, the rest of…

Italy has both universal health coverage and sick leave policies, but is still reeling with a 7% mortality rate [1] and crisis. Neither replaces good leadership and policy/decision…

Hyperbole is a feature of political discourse in the US, let's not get semantic.

The article fails to ask the obvious next question: if this can potentially apply to much cheaper and instantaneous tests, maybe something ultrasound based? I'm not an expert on me…

I'd rather have a sustainable Gilead, with a strong moral compass that prices things fairly, to invent the next antiviral. But the middlemem and insurance companies add ZERO value …

Almost certainly a lie. What would techcrunch write about, if the founders said something banal? Revisionist, sexy origin stories are a proven way of getting free press. Somewhere,…

If approved for treatment, I hope this is fairly priced, given that the CDC predicts 40M infections in the US. Just to be clear, pricing ultimately comes down to insurance companie…

Is SARSCov2 == COVID-19? Or is SARSCov2 ~= COVID-19?
