jczhang··on Israeli startup claims Covid-19 likely originated in a lab, willing to bet on it
mmm disagree as "strong" is a relative word. any claim should have equal amount of evidence
jczhang··on Chess tactics explained
unlikely at any low ratings imo, also you can look at post-game analysis. not a reason for not playing!
jczhang··on Amazon hires 427,000 people in 10 months
I'm only posting this because I've seen this type of response to responses many times. While it's good to encourage higher standards of communication and thoughtful response, there's no need to slam a different community and think people on HN are somehow better.
jczhang··on CDC advises Americans not to travel for Thanksgiving
Not a comparable situation because you are now potentially spreading it to people in your family whom you have not seen since.
jczhang··on Moderna Covid vaccine candidate almost 95% effective, trials show
The thing is, it's more likely to be skewed in the wrong direction, the direction that it is safer than you think. So actually its important to understand how bad it is for those who get it. We have consistently had >1k deaths per day in the US and then many others with longterm issues.
jczhang··on Notion Timeline View
Well that's very different and not comparable to Notion because Notion is first for documentation and only secondly for project management
jczhang··on Biden wins White House, vowing new direction for divided U.S.

jczhang··on UV B LEDs More Effective in Producing Vitamin D3 in Human Skin (2017)
Question for someone who might know, how safe are UV B lamps? IE (https://www.amazon.com/Angel-Kiss-Portable-Phototherapy-Fluo...) and is there a better / cheaper alternative?
jczhang··on Hard Data on Remdesivir, and on Hydroxychlorquine
Your skepticism here might be based on a logical fallacy that assumes that term has a certain connotation or is even used by the researchers themselves. For all you know the term was just created now by the parent commenter to label a group of individuals in his/her own definition.
jczhang··on Ask HN: Why is Reddit on mobile so obsessed with making me use their app?

How's it different from Houseparty?
jczhang··on Microsoft is reportedly in talks to buy TikTok's US operations
How does it fit in with the rest of their products and overall strategy is my question.
jczhang··on Product Discovery Methods
I don't think the point of the site is to be an example of Design Thinking, rather it seems to be presenting the slideshare (original document, https://www.slideshare.net/almingwork/nyt-product-discovery-...) so that it's more easily accessible.
jczhang··on Hyperapp – A tiny framework for building web interfaces
so.. a lighter react?
jczhang··on Why Figma Wins
Eh, that line of questioning should be handled by designers at the very beginning or even before sharing designs and can be addressed more generally for all of their designs before sharing any specific one.

jczhang··on Launch HN: Motion (YC W20) – defense against online distractions and addictions
Great to hear. Already enjoying the app. One concern a friend brought up is that he says he has security concerns about the extension in terms of tracking keypresses (triggered by dialogue box that said all data is read and can be changed when installing the extension). Thoughts?
jczhang··on Launch HN: Motion (YC W20) – defense against online distractions and addictions
Hmm, are there any plans to solve this problem for mobile?
jczhang··on Ask HN: How to explain job gaps on the resume?
A lot of interesting responses here. While I agree with being honest about it, one issue is that the resume might be overlooked because there is a gap and you never get a chance to explain it. I am basically having to solve the same problem currently so @jobgap if you'd like to discuss pm me.
