This is decidedly not true on almost every account. Europe has its own opioid crisis, and we absolutely can blame other countries who play host to the primary runners of heroin and…

You missed the sarcasm. HN articles all follow a formula, almost predictably so, where they’re lazy thought pieces by a self important blogger.

This might shock your worldview but cheating is absolutely rampant in STEM programs in person too. I still remember the corrupt graduate students who would circulate exam answers a…

Remote and correspondence (the same thing really) have existed forever. There is zero basis for your statement it’s worse, and there is zero basis for your statement that there is …

I don't really believe the bent on this article that the hospital was at fault. There's an implication that Lawrence Livermore was in some sort of cover up and I don't really buy t…

While I agree code like this shouldn't be released fail-deadly it's also patently obvious it's not to be used. There is sufficient notice in the README. If someone uses this, it's …
