That explanation sounds real, but it isn’t. Really weird, why make something like this up?

Except not really, I wouldn’t be surprised if CTE is actually higher in non-athletes, nobody is checking the mass majority of these people. The insurance companies always make accident related CTE into another illness so it’s impossible to say, but look outside the US. A LOT more realistic stats.

There’s also active downvote bots that search for phrases like GOP and flag them immediately… watch.

You are doing that right now though because you want attention, don’t you see how ironic your comment is? You’re the noise.

Really I feel like HN is the worst for discussion. Look at all these long empty comments. There’s nothing of substance here.

I think Lucas knows he’s screwed, he will be lambasted no matter what he does. Look at Game of Thrones, even the best written nerd series get torn apart by the nerd police. He understands that his business was always in nostalgia, it’s just his nostalgia for 50s serials, not actual Star Wars.

The game wasn’t perfect, but it was extremely stable. I remember people spamming proximity mines, but even that became fun because it was so easy to get back in and play.

Developer hiding their lack of knowledge on projects and it being difficult to prove without letting the project fail.

OpenAI is a better SQL query writer than any developer I’ve worked with, and it’s not close.

I love how these raw mathematicians consider something proved when they can understand, meanwhile the computer can prove it easily just by counting a finite number of bits. What exactly would be considered proof in this case? Any explanation only mathematicians can understand?

A lot of people are upset when their grant doesn’t get funded and it’s easy to suppose there’s some sort of sinister motive behind it. In truth it’s probably that the science is very difficult and only a tiny fraction of people get anywhere in social sciences.

Try marine biology, they are always looking for decent papers.

When also has someone retracted a real confession? It seems more likely that the police beat it out of him, then they leaned on this obscure lab to get the results they wanted. Or he’s just guilty and somehow thought confessing to multiple murders wasn’t going to effect his life that much.
