Do you think people seeking medical advice from HN comments might be related to their disatisfaction from the suppor they receive from medical clinicians?
My impression is that the site has gradually shifted right, but the Overton window has shifted right faster giving the illusion that it has gone left.
Edit: There is something ironic to be said about my very benign comment triggering someone to the point that they felt compelled to create an account and call me classically right wing slurs (subhuman, animal, low-iq). I think its worth considering that the internet/social media has contributed to a growing mental health crisis. Hurt, sick and lonely people seem to congregate online.

For Muslims, the day of Eid is either determined by lunar calculation or visual observation. Often this splits the community due to theological differences. This year Eid is predicted to be on either Friday or Saturday (21-22/04).Asking ChatGPT for clarification however gives a wildly different answer of 21-22/05.This might be due to some error in calculating the difference from the Islamic to...
Failing to mention his involvement with the US security services seems like an oversight. We don't know exactly what technology he add access to at the time.
This might say more about the effectiveness of antidepressants than anything else.
Doctors aren't scientists. Most likely incurious and also uninterested.
This is reprehensible and further evidence of the systemic rot within all police forces.

Reminds me of the documentary Cold Case Hammarskjold where they discover the apartheid era South African government had set up fake medical clinics to infect (Black) Africans with HIV.

Why are University spots scarce in the first place.
And CIA seeded companies aren't?
>The Hamas-tied Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), which is best known as an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terrorism financing case in U.S. history, appears to have access to high-ranking Facebook and Twitter executives and has communicated with these individuals about who should be allowed to stay on their platforms, according to a Wall Street Journal report published Tuesday.
Wow.. talk about subtle.
What don't you agree about?
How does it set a disturbing precedent? Business has always pursued money over morality under a capitalist system.
Or maybe its a chance for you to wonder why a gay woman might find themselves constantly frustrated and angry when living in a patriarchal homophobic society?
Probably looked more like Osama bin Laden than white Jesus.
The downside of this though is that unexpected positive results sometimes get buried. For instance, clinical trials have to report all adverse effects but not positive effects. We've had drugs tested for symptom X fail to have any effect, while causing bald people to have their hair grow back. Yet the company we were testing it for wasn't interested and those results never made it into the public domain.
All white people do have some innate starting advantage due to their whiteness. That isn't to say they don't also have disadvantages too, for instance poverty, disability etc.
Having white skin though gives you an advantage in a system that prioritises whiteness over other colours. Its not racist to discuss this.
That's a very dismissive attitude. There are limitations with the study, but the methodology is sound.
>Funny that all these Middle Eastern rulers follow the same pattern of tyrannical rule and are undone by it when they are eventually taken down tyrannically by much bigger tyrants
You mean Funny that all these Middle Eastern rulers are propped up by the West and only replaced when its politically expedient.
"Uncontrolled population growth is bad (Africa)"
What do you even mean by this statement?
Nature should publish less articles about how to do X on the cheap and more articles about how the government needs to increase funding for primary research.
As one of the most prestigious journals around, or at least most well known generally, they should be using their clout to go in and bat for researchers, not constantly being reactive and defensive.
More flexibility to litter?
> is completely wack.
Truth is stranger than fiction and a journalist only lives by their credibility. He wouldn't publish it if he didnt think it was solid.
Can Chinese isolationism really be compared to repugnant UK imperialism?
