You sure are presumptuous. I don't think 0% is ideal. But for most of my life the US government has had an incentive to say inflation is lower than it is. And their methodology reflects their bias. You really think it's a coinc

I did answer the question - I said a lower CPI is better for the government because it makes it look like inflation isn't as bad as it is. Do you think it's better to report 5% inflation or 10% inflation? Regardless of what you

A lower CPI is better for the government because it makes it look like inflation is a smaller problem than it is. So you're agreeing with me - they changed it to make the numbers look better.

> One of the conclusions was (AIUI) that the CPI then-methodology actually resulted in numbers too high. How is this any different from saying they changed the methodology to make the numbers look better? In my opinion the old methodolo

Google had a revolutionary search technology which they quickly learned how to monetize and it began printing money. OpenAI has competitive technology in a crowded field and they are currently burning through money, likely hundreds of mill

You could've said the same thing about Google (specifically their AI efforts) 5-10 years ago, and what ended up happening is the majority of their best engineers left for other places like...OpenAI.

Your initial comment is downvoted and you assume everyone understands you? My point isn't a straw man - it's a counterexample that disproves your statement. If you're going to make absolute rules with no ambiguity then you

Rules have ambiguity. If there's a rule like "no jokes allowed" how do you decide that mechanically without human judgment? Do you seriously believe everything is binary without nuance? This entire argument is over whether

You realize a moderator has to make a judgment on whether or not they're breaking the rules though, right? That's a human decision. Anyway, this is a circular conversation. Cheers.

Is there ever a situation where mods don't make judgment calls? Or are you just saying moderated is better than unmoderated? Also you specifically pointed out that arguing over the ban is bad, which is implies appealing the ban is bad

So you think if you get banned without notice you should be unable to appeal and this is what fosters a healthy community?

by OnlineGladiator 3y ago
It's because engineers will build what engineers want rather than what the customer wants. Engineers are more likely to appreciate highly technical details that average customers don't even understand, let alone want to pay for.

Hey dang, this is the second time I had to vouch for this user's comment. I don't know how your system is set up, but it seems odd to me these are immediately showing up as dead.

> 30 % of physics and chemistry can’t be replicated. Is this true? I left academia a long time ago, but I'd be surprised if it's that good. I'd actually suspect it's the inverse and only 30% can be replicated.

You're completely ignoring my point. The journalist was rewarded with murder. I feel like you're not actually considering what I'm saying and I'm exiting this conversation.

Sure, but when you say something people resonate with it gets upvoted until it's the top comment relatively consistently. So while I have no issue with you objecting to this, most people clearly still agree with it. For what it'

I don't see any substance in that argument at all - just PR bullshit. There are even contradictions within their own talking points which many other comments have pointed out. Anyway, you're welcome to your beliefs - but it&#x27
