luxeo223··on Ask HN: My child food allergy from prick test. Can't find science based info
Why quackery? As the page says the test itself is not enough for a diagnosis: the result will be interpreted based on whether your child had symptoms of food allergy in the first place (rash, bloating etc.), which is what, I believe, medical history / physical exam is referring to. If yes: that's the likely culprit; if not (and you just got this test randomly for no reason?), the chance of a false positive is 50%.
luxeo223··on Google blocks Truth Social from the Play Store
Yes to the former: in my impression, the far right discourse and memes, in the broad sense of the word, tend to be more threatening and violent on average when the posts are directory towards the opposing political group or marginalised communities (e.g. racial or sexual). This happens both towards the group broadly or when targeting particular individuals, such as jail Hillary, hang Pelosi, or shoot the gays, or that women are not worth anyone's time (Andrew Tate example).

You can have a less polarised left- or right-wing discussion, and that results in less moderation for both sides. For example in the UK, you may not have liked Jeremy Corbyn or Boris Johnson, but you'd hardly have anyone calling for them to be jailed or murdered.

I hope he gets some help, before the media and all the attention exacerbates the situation
luxeo223··on Ask HN: Who decided copy+paste should copy styling/formatting?
Wouldn’t most applications that support rich text input inherit it from the browser, the underlying framework for native apps and/or be implementing styling themselves already (i.e. code editors)? I’m trying to enumerate applications that I use and I’m struggling to come up with more than Google Sheets, where paste without formatting is a drop-down menu instead.

Ctrl-Shift-V pastes without formatting in most applications
