Why do you assume they aren't someone with a website and have a career?
- AndrewKemendo 11y agoAnything is possible of course but what is more likely: 1. An elected Judge in Brazil also has a side business of running a marginal tourism website and the time to comment on HN 2. Someone is lying on the internet
- Retra 11y agoThe real question is what does it matter to you? Nothing a person says is correct just because they have the right title or label.
- AndrewKemendo 11y agoIf the goal is to simply make a compelling argument then stating your title immediately induces bias.
- Retra 11y agoMy point is that you have nothing to gain by calling into question the title. You give people the benefit of the doubt because that's the way to maintain civil discourse.
- mikeash 11y agoSpeaking only for myself, obviously, I don't find the argument itself to be particularly interesting, but I do find it interesting to find a Brazilian judge posting it on HN, just because that's really unexpected to me. If it's all fake, then the comment ceases to be interesting at all.
- loceng 11y agoThat just doesn't sound reasonable. University students, to me should be a full-time focus, also very often have one or multiple part-time jobs or even a full-time job while attending classes and doing their school work. Surely being a judge doesn't take 100% of someone's time, and this is also a topic likely close to the commenter. Also, did you look at the date of his tourism website post anyhow?
