Yes. Issues of poor implementation are not my concern. I think you are very wrong about the difficulties you suggest. What you identify as the 'root' problem is a policy problem best addressed by legislation and not really relevan

If only there was some secure technology capable of hierarchical accreditation and authentication that already ran on every single computer operating system that could resolve this situation for no cost beyond administrative overhead and wa

Is this a running theme with IEEE articles? Do they tend to run along the lines of the University press release to science journalism content mill, feeding a presumptively educated audience gee whiz material outside the compass of their act

I should presume you all enjoy hearing members of the public explain how easily [your domains of competence] can be understood through intuition and cursory 'research', and that you yourselves are more serious about [critical syst

Let me confer my profound hope that providence will triumph over irony.

Wow, that's a remarkably insensitive take coming from someone who's experienced an anxiety disorder. All you needed to do was remember that not everybody gets to have therapy. You didn't even need to accept that not everybody

The problem is that on an individual, person to person basis, people like me owe people like you a respectful hearing of what you think America is and how you think it should be and understand - this is the important thing - how you got the

Many (not all) types of suntan lotion are toxic enough to corals that it has an impact on the environment at popular beaches in coral reef areas.

This is an excellent reply, more interesting than my comment, and I certainly cannot gainsay you. However, '100' might as well be 'n'. Your reply suggests that there is a struggle to maintain contextual awareness of &#x2

It would be perfectly reasonable for someone to just say "no, I'm not going to imagine my job designing software as analogous to cabinetry," because argument from analogy shifts some of the burden of proof to the analogy itse

Yes. That was not what you claimed and it does not imply that your argument is correct, for reasons that I feel I've spelt out fairly patiently. You are welcome to remain opposed to the incineration of plastic waste, but I feel that yo

This is a false assertion. There is always carbon in the atmosphere and there should always be carbon in the atmosphere. The only thing that has a negative impact is when the total amount of carbon is excessive. "Plastics in a landfill

This is a somewhat blinkered perspective. It's true in a sense, but the emissions can be offset by not burning some oil that's in the ground not causing any problems. In the meantime, it is an optimal way of getting rid of huge ca

I'm sorry, I did try to graciously point out that you had taken your patently noble defiance of the Chinese Communist Party and turned it into something that reflected poorly on your humility and empathy for others. Might I suggest wri

One of the remaining gems within my reddit horizons is the /r/AskHistorians subreddit, which maintains an FAQ that (amongst many other things) contains a plethora of academic responses to GGS. I have included below a link to the t

Well that's definitely speculating. Hedging is when you also buy several bushels of bran.

It is a shame that nobody really knows the impact of this thing that was experienced by millions of people and extensively documented by the Japanese and subsequently studied by Japanese historians as well as all historians of the war and o

Yeah, molecular distillation is a type of vacuum distillation pretty ubiquitously used in distilling extracts from oils because minimizes decomposition due to heat. I looked it up.

I value HN for these moments in which someone lucidly debunks an abstraction and undoes the epistemic closure that it had performed. Attempting to articulate my thanks brought to my attention this general idea, that all abstractions are [p

I have no doubt that Robin Hanson is a brilliant man, and I am aware that he has an extremely strong physics background for a professor of economics, but it would seem prudent at this point for those of us who are not domain experts to have

I prefer it when the commentary on Hacker News does not extend to hot takes. I am sure there are many hypocrisies to be observed on HN, but you are drawing a patently false equivalence between the carbon footprint of cryptocurrency, which i

I am pretty sure that "Linus is an ethnic Swede, can't have that" was destined to sound offensive also to a fair number of people familiar with Finland, and that this was a predictable result. You also in passing manage to ca

From the moment I read "full broadband fidelity," I began looking at this press release as a product of dark-pattern science communications rather than an announcement of scientific progress. The news is that the connection is wir
