ahamdy88··on Danish study finds face masks provide limited protection to wearer
I think you should read the study yourself instead of taking some journalist conclusions who really loves flashy titles

https://www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/M20-6817

From the study: Inconclusive results, missing data, variable adherence, patient-reported findings on home tests, no blinding, and no assessment of whether masks could decrease disease transmission from mask wearers to others.

ahamdy88··on Spring-powered wheel claims to be ‘E-bike alternative at lower cost’
I was immediately triggered by "Weight (Mass) to energy conversion technology". I guess a better name to call it is "Nuclear Powered BS wheel"!

Too bad such BS end up on top stories of HN

ahamdy88··on "Equal pay for equal work" in remote jobs
If "Equal pay for equal work" is applied on a long term, That may have a great effect on demography and how cities/countries operate. I can imagine some people living in high COL areas will prefer relocating to other still-nice-locations with lower COL and also the other way around for people already living in lower COL areas. That should relieve higher COL areas from the huge pressure and give more juice to lower COL areas that enables it to improve its infrastructure and services making it even more attractive. Eventually, this high contrast between high COL and low COL areas would start to normalize even for non-remote non-high-paying jobs!
