you: it's not about reframing, they get facts wrong the author: "reframe the country's history, understanding 1619 as our true founding" I think this speaks to the fundamental issue that the entire conversation here AND

the thesis of an argument is by definition not a fact. It's a point...founding is a theoretical concept, its metaphorical, its not provable and demonstrable and repeatable. Wow.

can you provide examples of that? clarifying: you claimed there were errors, pls provide examples. You made a claim, its not unreasonable to be asked to support it.

I'll tell you something...I teach undergraduate statistics. One of the projects I give students is to find a news article that talks about a research study and then find the research study. They have to analyze and compare them. It&#x2

I teach statistics to undergraduates...you are correct it is a VERY weird suggestion that presumes many things. I'm trying to craft a more coherent and unfortunately long response to this whole conversation...HN is making some wild pra

As someone who actually engaged with that story, I found the reporting and posited facts to be incoherent and full of holes. It only made sense if one presumed the outcome. Literacy includes evaluating why something was covered by certain f

You realize that a major portion of the 1619 project is discussing demonstrating HOW history HAS been manipulated. What you are referring to is the history we choose to center something DIFFERENT is somehow now being treated as 'manipu

this is why that education is so critical. because the news literacy is countering the exact type of thinking you are responding to. Any analysis is treated as criticism. Analysis isn't criticism, its analysis.

Because often the best fire fighting technique with wild fires is not to. Not every problem has a technological solution. Not everything should or needs to be disrupted.

Is there a more advanced version of “normalization of deviance” that is specific to normalizing signing off paperwork without doing the tasks?

It’s not surprising, they wanted more ability to look at it than was available at the paint shop. If they were comfortable flying it that should tell you something. This seems like the first time they’ve encountered the phenomenon so they w

Why would you think that? You think these aerospace engineers are a bunch of goof offs?

People are actually inspired by it. Their perception is actually being a doctor is so far away that things will be solved by then.

This and similar arguments begin from an assumption of bad faith by scientists. It’s unbecoming. You should care about the number of cases because each case is a potential for a new mutation that could be the one that bypasses vaccines or b

very tongue in cheek. Much more ' lets not argue athletics on the internet' and I'll admit I do it too. I say it as a, pretty terrible, ultramarathoner who regularly questions decisions other runners make :) I am equally asto

I'm not sure it is becoming of any of us on HN to be critical of the athleticism of Olympic athletes.

It can also be useful to, perhaps, engage in either a passive or active interrogation of what the value and purpose of a meeting is in the eyes of others. I agree there are some useless meetings. I would, however, classify more meetings as

We have three cast iron skillets that see nearly daily use. You are exactly right on this. Ours get, scrubbed, wiped, soaped, and cleaned as needed but just use and constant reseasoning is all it takes to make them look and cook gorgeously.

Or access to information increased? Or I’ve gotten older and more sour on this type of stuff? Honestly I feel like the change has been, for me, more awareness and less attachement to the narrative forced down my throat. I also don’t believe

I would argue classroom management is the biggest focus of K-12 teaching not the most important aspect. It speaks to our educational systems priorities and structure not its function
