This is caused by staffing shortages. Our hospitals thought it was a good idea to fire nurses and staff over the summer.

You seem to be coming to this debate with a very different set of assumptions. I think with a bit of creativity, YouTube could satisfy both sides. Give creators the ability to remove dislikes. They previously had that ability, but they were

I don't see how that is relevant to this debate. Of course they are free to make product changes. As a user I am free to dislike it and complain about it in an effort to get it to change. What do you suggest we do? Should we all just s

The case for that line of reasoning is extremely weak given that vaccines provide dramatically low protection against infection and vaccinated people also infect others at high rates.

It depends on how expansive we take the whole "government as protector" role. It is a perfectly reasonable position to believe our government overstepped their responsibility if you take a more narrow view of this idea. In the las

The link you provided in your previous post is about global prices and uses global commodity data. They are certainly not US-only figures. Correcting this error would likely show you that inflation is real.

by crisdux 5y ago
I see significant errors in your thesis. You are using global commodity prices to make claims about US consumer prices and consumer inflation. We have comprehensive data from national food retail that shows strong price inflation. Your insi

What did you find convincing about that article? It seems like it takes the worst evidence to support the mental health claim, disputes them and then offers similar fallacious arguments to blame housing issues. Anecdotally, I live in a quit

I can share what I did because I recently went through this journey. I started with Pavel Tsatsouline's Simple and Sinister program and bought a few kettlebells. I slowly started to incorporate push ups, overhead press, curls, dips, sq

It is astonishing to me that you are taking the position to censor scientific findings. Ironically, your attitude is science denial. You are fighting "science denial" with science denial of your own.

That's a very expensive price for unassembled computer case with questionable aesthetics and missing many premium features of similarly priced products. I don't even think this is a good market fit. I don't think this case wo

I don't really understand this critique. Isn't Twitter a metaverse of sorts? And It's a fairly dystopian one at that. I have no doubt these online environments will continue to get more sophisticated as time goes on.

We do not need to sacrifice our prosperity in order to decarbonize our electricity grid. What you are suggesting will result in more inequality, more avoidable deaths and slower progress. What you are advocating for is counter productive an

I think it's bad from a moral hazard point of view. These institutions increase their exposure to risk. The interventions exacerbate inequality and other issues. These centralized intuitions are resistant to reform. Reform that does ha

I am equally disappointed when I read comments like yours that demand some sort of ideological purity and agreement. How selfish. Meta comments that disparage the HN community are so weird. This community is made up of a lot of different pe

It is reasonable. Refugee means people fleeing conflict and persecution - not economic hardship. Our elite circles have very recently redefined refugee in quite a revolutionary way.

I find it offensive when folks on HN completely get the facts wrong and disparage people for no good reason. The utility industry has cut electricity generation from coal by 50% in about 15 years. Manchin is right.

I think we are seeing citizens deputized to enforce laws and norms in other places in society too. It already happens on social media. It's also happening offline, folks are losing their jobs over just expressing opinions. Citizens wit

Thinking Denmark's success is mostly about vaccinations and masks ignores some other characteristics of Denmark and other "successful countries." These countries are largely healthier, more homogeneous societies with signific

I'm giving the commenter some grace and I do not truly believe they meant all middlemen are bad. I think your interpretation requires you to assume too much intent. And also that claim at face value is preposterous, which is why I don&

I agree with you and I find the other comments dismissing you to be completely mind blowing and heartless. We are making society increasingly more difficult to navigate and creating more barriers that imped the movement of people. We are al

But still, America has a large untapped opportunity to curb greenhouse gas emissions through more use of trash burning power plants. What's required is the right controls, technology and public education. That included mixed trash with

Not necessarily. In countries like Japan and Sweden, they claim that their waste to energy (trash burning) operations reduce greenhouse gases when all factors are considered. So much so that Sweden imports trash to burn. Landfills arent the

We have solved those issues for the vast majority of the country! Heck we provide all of that and more. Now we are even giving welfare payments to middle and upper middle income families(in the form of an enhanced child tax credit).

Among all the posts Facebook is saying is "misinformation", which I agree some of it is, they are removing legitimate claims from users that they are being harmed by vaccines. This isn't misinformation. Whistleblowers had a f

Okay, I'll bite. Free speech is a legal doctrine and an aspect of culture that America has traditionally valued. Few examples below. * The Biden administration is working with technology companies to flag users and posts for removal. *

I don't think this comment understands the reality of how great the US's food producing abilities are. US producers could add more new land to its agriculture output than all other countries combined. All that new land is in areas

This reminds me of an article I read earlier this week in AdExchanger about Amazon's advertising business. https://www.adexchanger.com/online-advertising/the-birds-eye... The future is all about video. Brands are

This is currently the top comment and it includes obvious misinformation. 28% was never proposed by the Biden administration for the global minimum tax.

I don't feel hopeless because I understand that we are being manipulated by these apocalyptic predictions. They will not pan out. Really diving into the projections from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, RCP4.5 and RCP6.0
