Rapamycin: The unlucky history of an anti-aging drug
Sorry for the meta-commentary but…<p>HN’s anti-aging obsession is <i>wild.</i><p>I get zero anti-aging content from any other news source, user submitted or otherwise, and yet without fail it seems like there’s at least one anti-aging article a week on HN. Any other topic I find on HN I run into elsewhere: space, JavaScript, crypto, lisp, etc etc. Only on HN do I regularly see anti-aging “news” promoted.<p>The discussions are all about the same: it’s a scam! It’s worth a shot! More research is needed! Anti-aging is unnatural! Anti-aging is a biological imperative!<p>idk it must have fans to get so consistently upvoted, but I do not get the appeal.
