Where did I suggest otherwise? My whole point was to let the reviews be, but figure out a way to make them useful. 100k reviews complaining about not being able to buy Gamestop is not useful.

It seems like maybe the solution is not to remove reviews, but weight them somehow. 100k reviews left in 2 days probably shouldn't have the same weight as 100k reviews left over 2 years. Or a more sophisticated version of this would be

This can't be serious, can it? Cutting taxes from 16% to 0% will double the state's revenue? Everyone can attend any school they want for free? That's an obviously absurd promise to make. $1.6T is total US student debt, not j

It would be pretty shocking if Google were sharing search data with anyone, let alone Taboola. Others in this thread mentioned that Taboola used to have literal malware that would replace Google with a google-lookalike. Maybe you have that

I think the best evidence for Tesla doing poorly here (or maybe that LIDAR really is necessary) is precisely that they have all this data and still aren't doing as well as others. Tesla has a seriously absurd advantage here: they can o

It hasn't been even 1 day since a nearly identical thread was on the front page: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25823645 And I'm pretty sure we're averaging at least a few of these per week.

Huawei got its start by blatantly stealing IP from Cisco and other companies, which is essentially a large subsidy of R&D. That strategy was only possible because the Chinese government shielded them from legal problems. In other words,

You're really taking a lot for granted. I think not seeing and understanding that is a reflection of the larger problem you are complaining about.

The Mueller report is pretty damning. Unfortunately almost no one actually read it, and Barr's "summary" was allowed to dominate the news before it was released.

I think the disconnect here is that at least for a large part of RFA/RFE's history, simply broadcasting fair and accurate news was effective "propaganda". Whether that's still true today or not is not something that

I'm not one of the economists that knee jerk reject protectionism, but I don't think it would help that much either. Trading partners won't accept tariffs without reciprocating. The US might be big enough now to get away with

I agree with this position. Too many people seem to be looking for a small "patch" to the law to fix the problems we have today, or just more banning and censorship is the solution (which is permitted by Section 230). I think shie

Or maybe they are doing this because an unprecedented (in the US anyways) social media coordinated mob was perhaps less than a few minutes away from capturing and doing god knows what to the entire line of succession of our government.

Social media has the exact same problem magnified 100 fold, because there is so much more content to cherrypick from. People only see the actions of extremists and attribute that behavior to everyone that doesn't agree with them. Tradi

What is the point of your post? The post you are replying to cited a specific law regarding specific threats. What does that have to do with what most people believe or whether most people are dumb or not?
