Hospitals are now at the point of being overwhelmed in several hotspots, particularly in Texas. You're just flat at wrong on every aspect of your comment.

There's the exact same opportunity for learning when it comes to politics. The difference in discourse on HN is ostensibly the content, but we all know the thing that really separates this from other forums is the quality of the discus

No, I do not mean the quoted section. They claim to play games where there is no chance of winning, then go on to claim they eventually win them often.

Your first and last sentences are in direct contradiction.

> The death toll from COVID lockdown is so much higher - from excess suicides, poverty, crime and violence That's the same false dichotomy we've been hearing since the pandemic began.

I'm in the exact same boat. I know there are differences between excel and calc, but none of them affect my daily usage - which to be fair is about 60-70% using it ass a glorified CSV editor.

I'm sure the parent knows the meaning of the word, but was asking as more of a philosophical exercise. But funny enough, your example is still describing extrinsic value. Tools don't have intrinsic value. They're valuable bec

It's undeniably both. But the former was the focus of the discussion.

One could argue that peer pressure and forced convenience are often more effective approaches than compulsion by the state.

What's great about that?

It's a false dichotomy rooted in isolationism and justified by xenophobia. It takes care of Americans in name only.

Are you unaware of the fact that police plant evidence?

And unfortunately, we need to know that information between we are willing to judge the validity of the comment.

And I completely agree with all of that. That doesn't change the fact that "the government wouldn't defraud you" is a horrific argument. And that is one of his points.

That's not the point though. If Aldrin's implicit argument is the US government would never try and defraud its citizen, then any example of such a fraud disproves him.

Yes, but the parent didn't imply that the two necessarily correlate. All you showed was that developing countries can have a high GDP. Are there any countries considered first world that have a low GDP?

Some of that is a productive of the fact that the justice system is run by humans doing human things. But part of that is the design of our system in that it's designed to protect wealth.

The animated movie was my first Tolkien experience, and I still have fond memories of it.

I agree with you, but I think that particular example says more about our police than it does about the cameras.

I don't think the default position should ever be that physical phenomena without empirical evidence exist... Also, what you're describing sounds more like a multi-dimensional (above the ones we're aware of) universe rather t

Assuming this all took place in the US, the American justice system is pretty horrific. I wouldn't want to call the cops on anyone unless it was absolutely necessary. It's not an action to take lightly.

I've tried disabling javascript several ways, and they all lead to a complete crippling of the site. 30+ JS scripts are load. As it should be obvious from using the mobile version of the site that it makes heavy use of javascript. Even

It's definitely been discussed for a while. Recent takes on it include a really interesting Outer Limits episode and the recent Netflix show Living with Yourself. This is easy to say if you're not the one dying. If you know a perf

Cows absolutely do not have a lifespan of 5-7 years. Wild cattle easily live 20+ years; same for cared for domesticated species. I've been to these farms to, and I've personally cared for animals that have escaped. For many of the

> "I'm going to protect my calf by trampling this human to death" Knowing what we do to their calves, I can't say I blame them. They have every reason to try and protect their calves from us.
