Your answer reveals a lot. Perhaps the reason you think that is because of the previously discussed biases that have became normal. I’ll give two examples: 1. The Black Lives Matter movement. Riots and cities being burned because of a few c

Bigoted literally means close-minded. I have encountered many close-minded liberal opinions. Think about this: we have seen ideas on the right that go too far (e.g., storming the capitol, white nationalism, racism or other forms of hateful

I heard this conversation at the beginning too. We all expected this fizzle out before now.

From the beginning it has been obvious that the decision makers did not know what to do about this pandemic. I am not convinced that lockdowns and masks have decreased the positive cases based on comparisons between places that were heavy o

Well, actually I've even found 600-level games on Chess.com to be harder than 900-level games. Obviously I've improved. But I wonder if the many of the very low ratings on Chess.com are just due to people making terrible blunders

I think you nailed it. It's awesome that they have overcome what others perceive as a disability. And in this case, they might have actually turned it into an advantage. But make no mistake, the reason they are beating people is becau

Anecdotally, I've seen this happen on a very small scale. The first time I drive down a road it seems longer than subsequent times. Once parts of the road become familiar the time it takes to get down the road seems shorter.

You left out fee-free stock trading which is commonplace now. Maybe you were intentionally focused more on the banking side.

There's an overwhelming tendency now to boil down all opinions to either "right side of history" or "wrong side of history", "anti-science" or "pro-science". This is especially true on social med

I think we can focus on both our response to widespread viruses and also making sure we aren’t shooting ourselves in the face by releasing novel viruses into the wild.

Effective Google search is also history. I understand they are trying to maximize ad revenue and search does work very well for people who are looking for products or services. But it no longer works well for finding information that is eve

You make it sound like you don't think people (or corporations) should be able to own property. I hate to burst your bubble, but someone is going to own the property. And if you insist on it being the government, you are going to sever

The HN title is bad. The teen was not falsely accused by unreliable facial recognition technology. I sort of skipped through the actual headline trying to figure out how AI was involved. It was. But only after several blunders by people.

I’m thinking they cherry-picked some names that aren’t worried about endorsement deals. It’s a silly comparison. Mike Conley Jr. makes about $30m/year salary. He may not be that interested in endorsements.

I want to complain too. I found this sentence in the article: "The gut brain greatly affects on how you body works." I have trouble reading articles with obvious errors in them. The writer probably gets paid very little and I doub
