- systemvoltage 6y agoThis type of language and tone is not acceptable on HN. Please refrain from further inflammatory comment regardless of the topic or stance.
- guscost 6y agoIt’s a fine, fine line. I’ve been on the receiving end of much more insulting personal attacks here, many times. And note that my comment says nothing about the person I’m arguing with, it just pre-empts a common response and calls the response nonsense.
- systemvoltage 6y agoyeah, I would just respond like this to avoid any kind of misinterpretation: > It's because of applied science. Most of the science won't be applied.
- guscost 6y agoThat’s a good suggestion, thanks.
- mr_overalls 6y agoI'm kind of curious how you expect science to be applied without its discovery phase being performed first.
- guscost 6y agoIf you think of e.g. string theory as the “discovery phase” of anything other than a ponzi scheme, we’re not going to come to agreement here.
