Oh, Hacker News…FFS. Something got lost in the sad game of Popular Press Telephone between the actual study and this snotty post.
The actual study is here:
https://www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/ANNALS-25-00577
It notes that:
1. Most research on air cleaning devices used air samples, not human health outcomes. (It’s far more difficult to conduct a study on the latter.)
2. Not many people are studying whether e.g. UV air purifiers create toxic byproducts.
3. The available studies sure do measure a whole bunch of different things, and wouldn’t it be nice if they had more consistent standards.
Their main recommendation is basically “scientists should do more studies where they measure infection in humans, not just germs in the air.” And that’s fair: It’s reasonable to •guess• that fewer germs in the air means less sickness, but it’s nice to actually •test• that!
However, AFAICT, nothing in the study warrants the “tinfoil hats” remark. Unlike a tinfoil hats, we have plenty good reason to think at least some of these devices actually work; the paper just wants the research to go deeper. It’s one giant “further study needed.” https://mastodon.social/@ngate/115091700894746240
While skipping through the opening credits of this anime episode, l thought, wait, I don’t remember that shot…
Sure enough, this series has (mildly) evolving credits.
I only noticed because I happen to be on an airplane watching a downloaded episode, which for some reason disables the Crunchyroll app’s “skip credits” button, so I had to skip manually.
That’s the problem with evolving credits: if you’re not paying attention you won’t notice they’ve changed!

As I say there, it feels more like managing a team of experienced product managers and developers (which I’ve done a few times in my career) than doing developer work faster.

I've skimmed the actual text of the so-called "flag burning" executive order.
It is a more dangerous order than it looks.
The EO looks at "desecration", a more expansive concept than "burning".
It leverages other laws, such as a local "no burn day" order (often used in forested areas during high fire risk situations), to initiate deportation and other punitive responses that may themsevles happen too quickly for a trial or any min…
