It's crazy to me that Reddit isn't a mark on YC's brand. I can't think of a worse site to use today. It makes it clear to me that YC's business model doesn't really care about quality because Reddit has only de

Reddit is toxic. They can't please anyone. You'll either find people upset because they banned covid alternative information subs or upset they didn't do it sooner. hen there are subs that celebrate people dying. Reddit has a

It helps when you have guys that are so convinced that they have found the lance that pierced the side of Christ that they are willing to walk through fire to prove it.

It speaks to the power of belief in something. Napoleon represented something bigger than a person, he was French nationalism. I think a similar story (this is in Ken Burn's doc, told by Shelby Foote) is when the Union forces at Freder

I'm not sure how to phrase this without sounding rude, but what is this saying that adds insight to what I've been reading on places like HN for a decade? Is it true that people are getting dumber? Big claim, no evidence. Do parag

I wonder if any of his angst would be calmed if he understood what modern machine learning (deep learning even) is. It really doesn't sound like the original author has more than a passing familiarity, even being a math genius. Right n

If they left in 2012 the Taliban would have done then what they re doing now. There's no good leader that was willing to abandon people to that fate until the public exhausted of the war as it has.

What's with the hyperbole? That's still 20 years of attempted infrastructure and education. I knew at least one person in graduate school that would not have been there. Just because this is a tragedy doesn't mean everythin

It's all hindsight. Iraq was a colossal mistake but the world was in agreement about the Taliban and their war crimes. There was never a right time to bail out; the US and allies have invested hundreds of billions in infrastructure b

It's a very large amount for the most talented person to learn, much less build multiple production-grade systems with. We all should get some grace ofc, but does he also not need to show that he's learned not to make exaggerated

Those that lie often either don't respect other people or they don't have the ability to know when they are lying. Which is scarier? Go, Nim, and Zig have similar focuses and their devs have put in years of public, good work. Some

Could someone explain to me why, after seeing how many exaggerated claims the author has made, they have invested their time into building up a community around it? I'd be straight up terrified to trust anything serious with this guy&#

> The idea that anyone is actually offended or feels harmed by that paragraph we're talking about is absurd It surprises me that you don't see that language like this is the same language used against marginalized groups. Nobod

You're right it does seem like a small thing to pick on in this context. I think it stood out to me because like you said it's not a common term. It gets used in specific communities and areas (academia) but it's a term that

There's something about writing like this that gets at me. It's angry, for a good reason, it has lots of good points, but in trying to get across its main point, which is signaling dissatisfaction with the tech industry, attacks l

Their history shows tend to only be political if you perceive different viewpoints as political slant. The hosts undoubtedly are liberal elites, but I think they strive for objectivity more than most media.

There is an overenthusiastic, uncritical way of looking at it, but there is a cynical way of looking at it, too. I realize now that I'm older that I'm a creep I'm a weirdo (I'm not a creep) and it is because I had a to

Hey, wanted to respond to your comment because mine could come off as unhealthy. I simply mean that I'm old enough, have experienced enough that there are very few people in the world that can say something which I haven't already

I've been in academia for awhile, I'm used to getting serious criticism. I'm a man, my whole life I've been told to toughen up. There's really almost nothing you can say to me that is going to hurt me. I really mean

No, the US did not plan to start a civil war which left the Syrian regime in place while destabilizing their own allies. The US has been involved in all of this, of course, but the Syrian civil war is largely a result of the a series of 201

It may help if you asked yourself why you feel qualified to judge a bunch of people's minds.
