This is a highly opinionated piece that selectively uses a tiny bit of data while ignoring a ton of inconvenient data to make a persuasive argument that does not stand up even to mild scrutiny. It is cleverly disguised as objective research.
In other words, this is political propaganda of the highest quality. I mean that as a compliment.
It doesn't belong on HN. I flagged it.
- locacorten 6y agoIt might be flawed, wrong, stupid, etc. but that’s not a reason to flag it. Argue against, bring more light into the discussion. Censoring it brings no good. Censorship should be rarely and carefully used.
- cs702 6y agoIt was NOT intended as "censorship." According to the HN guidelines, as I understand them, this kind of writing simply does not belong on HN. As I wrote above, that's why I flagged it. Please don't attack a straw-man. For reference, see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
