This is a really important lesson to internalize (the first one). The second is too! I’m telling you, peanut butter is an amazing savory ingredient! You don’t have to go full Hemingway (peanut butter and onion sandwiches), but at least sa

Most people believe whatever they want to believe, and it’s a massive waste of the limited time that is life to try and change their minds. Peanut butter is best in savory applications.

Elon says a lot of things, and some of them even turn out to be true. The ones involving money though, seem to be less likely. This could work though, I think it’s more likely to never get off the ground. At least it’s just a tunnel, and no

Question: Who is the queen of England? Aristo is not sure about this one... Aristo's best guess: Carol Burnette Confidence: 19.35% Oooook, I’m not super impressed. Confused, yes, but not impressed.

Utopias are always justified this way, and the worst crimes are committed as a result. After all, if a potentially limitless number of lives are saved in the future, you can argue for sacrificing millions today. Somehow people never seem to

Lets take slavery as an example. Did you know that federal and state prisioners are forced to work for 30 cents or less an hour. If they refuse they get put in solitary. The average time someone is in solitary in the California prison syst

So you’re agnostic on murder, slavery, torture of children and animals, and rape? Come on, we have tons of clear rights and wrongs, and the kind of absolute moral relativism you’re peddling is a smokescreen.

99% of people don't read anything before they push yes. Most people get increasingly annoyed at the mountain of e-mails, and the hundreds of pages they in principle has to read through. No offense, but this feels like a “99%” and “mo

I'm not saying GDPR isn't good for privacy (we need it); it just makes competition harder. If easy competition is being paid for through shady practices, then it should never have been that easy. It’s a no-brainer that a large,

Right, no one is asking anything in those communities, because they’re the tumbleweeds. Voat has fulminating hate boners and tumbleweeds, and literally nothing else. https://voat.co/v/gardening Jesus that’s dead. Mea

Kinesis Freestyle 2 keyboard Is this not the greatest keyboard ever?! I only wish I could magically hook it up to my tablets as well, but even tethered to my workstation it’s the best thing since sliced bread.

Some people are desperate for it to go away, or are just pissing and moaning. Treat it like a UI change on a major site, realize that in a month or two the rage will die down and acceptance will emerge. After a year, assuming it works as in

The alternative communities often speak for themselves, while the popularity of the mainstream does as well. For a perfect example, look no further than here at Hacker News. The moderation is very active, but here we are enjoying civil conv

Few Reddit users actually crave that, hence the success of Reddit. Neo-Nazis for one example, do crave that, because otherwise they’re shut down. If you want unfettered freedom, try Voat, it’s downright pestilential, but it’s free.

Burden of proof lies on the one making the claim. I didn’t make a claim, you did, then flipped it around and made one for me. ;)

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17188353 Seriously, if you don’t know what something means, don’t use the the damned phrase. “For insulting” “For wearing” are not thought crimes. A handy rule to detect a thought crime

This is why I said, “To save us both time and aggravation please keep the actual definition of “thought crime” in mind, and don’t conflate it with something people actually did.“ Thought crime = the thought itself is a crime, i.e. simply ha

Is it really so hard to believe that people are all out of trust and goodwill at this point? It’s like having a classroom full of toddlers who all play with matches, and every few weeks they burn the whole school down. Finally the teachers

Please if you can, give one example of a European government jailing someone for a thought crime. To save us both time and aggravation please keep the actual definition of “thought crime” in mind, and don’t conflate it with something people

Filtering out the noise, you’re not willing or able to cite, and I don’t blame you, since you’d probably try to start with the discredited Tesla numbers. Then I’d post the reasons why they’re crap, and you’d grope for some more apples and o

Tesla is shipping systems in the absolute infancy of this technology that are already statistically indistinguishable from human drivers as far as safety goes. That’s a hell of a claim, I’d love to see some serious citations on it.

Maybe something like the Russian model makes more sense, if not legally. The most deterrent response is to hunt the kidnapers down and exterminate them, not pay them.

The quality of most content is so poor it’s almost physically painful though. Clickbait is pervasive, divisive trolling is ubiquitous and it infects everything. Look at how hard this site has to work day in, day out, just to keep the rot at
