On: DOGE puts $1 spending limit on government employee credit cards

The quote is meant as a type of sarcasm/humor. Meaning if a presented solution is neat and plausible it's likely going to be wrong.

I know… that’s why I wrote I’ve never seen such a solution for cancer presented as if it where both neat and plausible simultaneously.

If anyone offers an example that could have plausibly fooled the median HN reader at the time of reading, then I will change my mind.

On: Group buys up large tracts of land in Romania to create 'European Yellowstone'

It would be interesting to see some kind of data on this.

I have a mutual friend that does tours in Europe. This was his and his worker's sentiments as well. Talking with them we thought there may be a lot of self-filtering going on in his situation. He does historical tours and those seem to attract a less rowdy group.

On: Writing by hand is still the best way to retain information

[AcedCapes]

I used to have pretty poor handwriting as well. It didn't help growing up in school when learning to write they would just have me trace letters, and never taught what actually makes handwriting legible. A few years back I started practicing calligraphy for fun and it helped out quite a bit. The basics that translate to everyday handwriting are:

1.Use your big muscles to write.(Move your shoulder/elbow, while keeping your wrist and fingers relatively stable.)

2.Make sure vertical lines are all on the same angle. Vertical parts of "l's","h's","T's" etc...

3.The round parts of letters are the same shape (For example the rounded parts of "o's","e's", and "c's" are all the same)
