I mean, I’ve found it very interesting to see different pros of ending a file in a new line I would have never even considered.

Compared to 1940census, this is a much more useful tool, with the ability to search by name. I wish the same feature set were applied to prior censuses!

But they're calling it a third sex because it's due to "normal expression of the species' genes", not because of hermaphroditism.

My thoughts are it could create clothes or furniture that will last longer fashion-wise.
Any of your clothes or furniture look out of style? Just download a new style online!
smrk007 | 4 years ago | on: Ask HN: Who wants to collaborate?
I would think that actually thinking about and defining everything that a Trello clone to do would take more than 10 minutes... Are you imagining a "software requirements" -> "product" compiler type of deal? Or what do you envision the workflow would look like?
smrk007 | 4 years ago | on: Research finds immune system responds to mRNA treatment for cancer
My thoughts exactly. According to the Moderna pipeline [0], they're already on phase II trials for their cancer vaccine, which to me seems much more exciting than a proof-of-concept if that's what this is.

OTOH, I think this position is relevant only from the perspective of new scientific inquiry — it’s worth asking questions that have already be asked when learning / acquiring knowledge! Sure, someone could find this information on Google, but misinformation too, so I think it’s worth asking in this sort of environment so we can all more deeply understand existing theory, etc.

smrk007 | 4 years ago | on: European court of human rights rules obligatory vaccination may be necessary
Good point, I guess that’s a good argument to use taxes for supporting healthcare.
smrk007 | 4 years ago | on: European court of human rights rules obligatory vaccination may be necessary
I would say yes, obligatory vaccination is a reduction of an individual's liberty. But, doesn't NOT getting vaccinated also diminish the liberty of all other individuals in society (i.e. The right to life), much like how the same principles of liberty are applied to outlawing murder? (The freedom to murder is diminished, but the right to be alive is increased)
smrk007 | 4 years ago | on: The architecture behind a one-person tech startup
Do you mean taking a company public without any co-founders and employees, or starting originally with none, then later taking some on?
If the latter, I would think Dropbox would count, since at least originally it was a single founder.
