- davidw 18y ago1 degree isn't very good, and isn't accurate either, really, as policy consensus amongst economists isn't really one of the regular topics here. Try for a higher score with something like this: The article recommends higher skilled worker quotas -> some hackers aren't from the US -> skilled worker visas would let them get in the country -> eventually, they could create startups -> ... it's really hacker news! To tell the truth, I liked the article, but I see a slippery slope: 1) economics articles 2) mises.org articles 3) ... 4) Ron Paul rules the home page, or at best, flame wars break out about things like, say, the gold standard (which I know some people here think is a great idea, and others think is batshittery).
- cawel 18y agoIn which case I could charge you for playing the "6 degrees of separation from 'Ron Paul rules the home page' " game :)
- davidw 18y agoFair enough, but it did go pretty much like that on reddit:-)

- hugh 18y agoOne step beyond gold standard debates, I think, is when the 9/11 Truthers start showing up. At that point the site becomes useless to pretty much everybody. This is the big problem: it only takes six people with some ahem fringe interest in order to spoil it for everybody.
