    HN links it for her post on declining to work with Aubrey de Grey and SENS, which commenters treat as a dispute with a soap-opera quality.

    What HN people wrote when they linked it

    • skrebbelAug 2021

      Laura Deming's post (https://ldeming.posthaven.com/aubrey) has some comments that paint this as a coordinated attack on De Grey for financial objectives.

      Truth be told I find it hard to believe those allegations, but I'd lie if I said I didn't enjoy the soap opera aspect of it all while reading them. I think it's very impressive and indicative of how hard-ass Deming must be that she did not have those comments deleted. It definitely speaks in her favor that she's letting the debate be open fully, even on her own site.

      (Note for context: I'm just a rando on the internet who read some blog posts. I did not know who these people were until this stuff made it to HN)
