This is such a big problem in society. We teach kids that every one of them is "exceptional" at everything they do and then, when they hit the real world, they shut down at the first sign of criticism or "failure."

What can phase three trials show us that an empirical trial of a billion people can’t?

I was asking the same thing the other day. No way to prove it, but I would say it's probably 25%. Before this all started, I knew quite a few people who were just terrified of needles. Now, it's not that they're terrified, it

Anti-vaxxers' rallying cry is "WE DON'T KNOW THE LONG TERM EFFECTS YET!" Which means, I guess they'll get the shot in 50 years?

More specifically, the article points out the money was supposed to be used to expose the kids to culture that they're not already exposed to. Instead, they're using it to buy more of the culture (magna) that they're already

Agreed. We point the finger at the media all the time, but the media is just a reflection of society. Why is Kim Kardashian on the front page of CNN? Why is "Iconic New York City park, featured in sitcom ‘Friends,’ trashed by urban dec

I don't know if putting AngularJS on there is accurate. It was deprecated in favor of Angular, which is a re-write of AngularJS.

I wholeheartedly disagree with this. I would say a large percentage of people are incapable of judging the risk for themselves, which is why we get people going on ventilators begging to get the vaccine now. I mean, the entire insurance ind

I run a software development company. I don't care if employees work 40 hours / week or 4 hours per week as long as they hit their deadlines. That said, 100%, straight coding for 40 hours / week is probably unrealistic, but t

I think you're making a lot of assumptions. > I'm saying most criticisms I've seen are much broader than that, and if that world view was true, neither option would exist in the first place. Not the case for me > billio

Journalists today are such hacks. The whole "So and so is saying.... How would you like to respond?" Is so weak. As a journalist, do your research. If you have a question, ask YOUR question.

Depends on how you get the sample.

Why is this junk on HN? "Not that it matters to Carlson’s critics, but odds favor the NSA scandal being true." What? How about Carlson knew the information was out there and tried to get in front of it by cherry picking an easy ta

Any serious professional or academic study contains a "Definition of Terms" section that explains how the researchers are defining key elements in their study. https://www.slideshare.net/myotakustyle/definitio

If that's the definition they're using, put it in the paper. Otherwise, it's just like asking someone if they feel "hot" at work. And if it can be tested for, why not do a study that tests for it? Otherwise, it&#x27

This is why I have a tough time putting much weight into the soft-sciences. I don't see any operational definition of "Burnout" so this is like asking people if they feel "fast". How about something like "How m

I still remember when I was laughed out of my Masters class on Mass Communication for saying that giving everyone a voice might result in a net-negative. I’m not sure we’re there yet, but that’s where we’re headed.

You're 100% wrong. If you showed that much initiative, I would absolutely try to train you in other skills. I own a software company, and while we don't have a physical office, I'm always offering education material to employ

I've been a mid-level manager, upper-level manager and now run my own company. I simply won't hire or promote someone who isn't a hard worker. Does it guarantee success? Nope. Is it a requirement for success in many circumsta

Meh. I'd argue more people need to tow their boat than haul lumber, but I live in Florida where that's visually true.

And so that's the vehicle's responsibility? Like, you're complaining that a truck/suv has a 9-foot blind spot. What's an acceptable blind spot - where if someone hits a laying down/sitting kid in front of their

"objects less than 6 feet tall" That is utter nonsense. You're honestly saying you can't see something five feet off the ground in front of an F-150? "1999 Chevy Silverado for ten years, it could haul just as much s

And you don't see those children there when you get into the vehicle?

by codyswann 5y ago
So you run into the kid at 1 mph? Are we thinking people hammer down on the accelerator when leaving Walmart? And if so, we then blame the vehicle?

by codyswann 5y ago
That analogy doesn't hold water. A hammer isn't meant to shoot bullets. So shooting bullets would be something the hammer was never intended to do. What I'm telling you is that you have an opinion that is different from mine
