The issue of bias comes into play when it comes to the implied meaning behind the statements being reviewed. "Hillary Clinton successfully defended an accused child rapist and later laughed about the case" Statements like this are

I wouldn't worry about it. Some people just feel a constant need to get up on that high horse whenever possible.

If you can't drive responsibly with a baby on board lane assist isn't going to save your ass. You seem really defensive about a pretty inoffensive remark. Maybe you need to reflect on why you are so angry about something so triv

This whole low/no expectations thing can keep people in some pretty toxic situations. It's not really about low/no expectations. It's about not letting smaller, less important things impact the larger, more important t

Wow, this is extremely condescending with no actual backing information. The person being responded to provided no actual backing information either.

Nuclear power can be done safe, but we also have many examples of it not being done safe You could replace "Nuclear power" with quite a lot of things we do these days. Such as "Driving" or "Home construction"

And do we really need regional variations in math textbooks? Depends on if you trust the federal government to do a better job selecting a textbook than the state you currently live in.

Isn't gaming precisely a time diversion? For many people, gaming is much more of a hobby that you explicitly set aside time for. I was using "time diversion" in the sense that you are just bored and looking for something to

I'm sorry, but you're looking at Bitcoin from a narrow viewpoint. There are in fact people who actually need Bitcoin in their day-to-day. The question was why Bitcoin gets negative responses on places like HackerNews, and that q

Honestly, the lack of dedicated controls will never allow for mobile gaming to be anything more than a time diversion for most people. A touchscreen just isn't something that's comfortable to use for extended lengths of time, in m

A lot of the issues we face with technology today are pretty new in the grand scheme of things. Companies polluting the environment isn't only a recent phenomenon.

Still, using the term "hiding" makes little sense to me. It's money that not connected to the US or the IRS in anyway, and the information is readily available anyways. Are citizens of other countries "hiding" their

by Goronmon 11y ago
It seems strange that your definition of "hiding" is "not present in the US". Is most of the population of the world then a "hidden" group of people? That sounds a bit condescending.

You're making the assumption that vim/emacs are more effective tools.

It's not simply in vs out in some cases which is what I'm trying to point out and what Goronmon has failed to understand. You'll never find a diet/exercise/plan that allows one to achieve indefinite weight lose.

This doesn't always work. Many people, myself included can fail to lose weight on a restricted calorie diet. I spent 12 months eating below 1200 while working out religiously (4-6 days a week with 30sh mins of cardio followed by 45s

Yes, different underlying religious and political views than mine of the author make what they're saying invalid. Not by itself, but combine those views with the fact that the source used from the blog post is the Daily Mail, I'

I apologize if this comes off a bit glib, but sometimes this sort of advice makes me think the steps to founding a startup begin with: 1) Be wealthy 2) Don't be not wealthy

Personally, I think its one of things that sounds scarier than it is. I mean, sure, I would be nervous if there was evidence that armed helicopters/drones are flying over the US in the situations we are talking about here. But as long

So, the problem isn't the use of drones, it's how readily the drones can be equipped with weapons?

My experience has been that the only people with the desire to put effort into an alternative are mainly interesting in making sure there are so many flash ads on every single page that it can crash your browser.

The only rational argument for why it might be remotely worthwhile to spend more money than the debt on pursuing a debtor would be to make an example to prevent others who owe similar amounts from defaulting (or not paying back when defaul

Well, the author's suggestion that everything is fine, trolls can be ignored and Fry is somehow hypocritical with being fed up with trolls and offended people is really something that I cannot agree with. This is actually the opposit

We don't need much of anything other than some minimum amount of food, water and the ability to sleep somewhere. Roads, clothes, education, healthcare, music, etc are all optional.

But looking at it objectively, why should a company offer benefits associated _only_ with parenting? Because companies are cheap and want to keep paid leave to a bare minimum. But parenting is important so its harder for them to take a fi
