There are also some paranoid people who use encryption because secret services could be spying on them. We have no idea how aids causes hiv, cannot even predict weather for next week, but we are 110% sure some theories are right.
No wonder, it is waste of money to get phd today
- alanh 13y agoIn case you wonder why you are being downvoted, it’s because you are, yourself, denying recent (and less recent) news regarding federal monitoring; engaging in HIV/AIDS denialism; reversing HIV and AIDS; conflating weather prediction with scientific understanding; and ending with a non-sequitur.
- mikeash 13y agoThus providing a wonderful illustration of my point.
- DominikR 13y agoI think his point is that people who believed that government was constantly monitoring everyone a few weeks ago were also seen as paranoid crazy persons who believed in conspiracy theories, and he is sarcastic about that.
- parasubvert 13y agoI don't think people using SSL before a few weeks ago due to spying and/or hacking would be considered paranoid or crazy. We've known about domestic spying since 2006, some people just were not paying attention. Now people on HN can't seem to get enough paranoia for breakfast.
