You're confounding the work of art with a kind of certificate that is nebulously attached to the art.

I guess you're right, my influencer idea could be called a conspiracy theory. But I'm genuinely curious, I'd guess I've seen a half dozen defenses of the term in the last month or so.

The most important term in that definition is "hypothesis", which is a hunch based on little evidence. Why have I suddenly been seeing a bunch of internet comments like yours trying to rehabilitate "conspiracy theory"? I

I definitely used to buy and read more books back then, and documentation in general. Maybe that was a good thing.

They don't have BPA, that's the marketing and it is true. But that doesn't mean that other estrogenic chemicals are not leaching, or that the non-estrogenic chemicals that leach are safe to ingest everyday for a lifetime.

I like your method better because the Aeropress is plastic. Plastic+boiling water is an absolute no-go for me. "BPA free" is marketing bullshit from the plastic industry, it absolutely will leech into the water.

Isn't Matt Stoller just repeating the Attorney General's argument? Or are you saying he's embellishing it?

HN has decently big scale. Somehow it works because of heavy handed moderation, manual, crowdsourced and automated. I think twitter really needs a downvote button. But they prefer relying more on their AIs instead of crowdsourced moderation

I thought they banned man-made claims not lab-leak claims.

How can you make those causation statements so confidently? Prop 47 was passed 2014. The opioid crisis has been going on forever. People are using these stories to fuel their political biases.

How is this a remotely justifiable idea? Police are paid to their job, if they're not doing it because of political disagreements that is unacceptable. We the voters determine the policy not them.

Police should do their job because we pay them to do it. If they're involved in some kind of work slow down because they don't agree with the prosecutors policies then they're playing a dangerous game with public safety and t

A lot of people blame SF's prosecutor but that makes no sense, this is a policing problem. The police is lazy and won't do their job. The police union sees their role as deflecting blame while working as little as possible and col

We created the WHO and the UN out of an idealism and optimism that derived from an honest belief after WWII that we were the good guys that were going to use our power to spread freedom and democracy. That idealism is what gave us the power

To the downvoters let me explain what I meant. jancsika is an HN'er as we all are. But jancsika is on here trying to say the community as a whole is a bunch of arrogant idiots. This annoying type of comment where you make yourself seem

Ban cryptocurrencies. Cryptocurrencies are all negative externalities with few societal benefits.

I was thinking the same, asphyxiating pigs and mice to time how long until they die is just cruel.

I''m really curious why this comment got downvoted. Wish I had gotten a reply. I don't see the error in my logic. If 90s Apple had had 50% of the desktop market Microsoft would not have been regulated. And Steve Jobs was no l

So if Apple had had any market share in the late 90s then Microsoft+Apple would have been allowed to put a strangle hold on the web the way that Google+Apple do to apps today. In that sense we are really lucky that Microsoft had that monopo

That's not what's happening here (Android already has low level C and high level Java). What's happening here is two low level languages side by side.

As an Android user I hate AirTags because it will reduce the power of Tile's cross-platform finding network making it less likely that my tiles will be found. This means that Google should fight back by integrating a finding network in
