This is just silly. Coming up next, names for cold snaps, tide surges, landslides and solar flares. Followed by name diversity arguments for them all. I'm not dismissing the severity of these events, but this just reeks of headline cli

I sense a religious undertone... The type that would force the sanctity of marriage at all costs to avoid 'sin' and save face with God. Maybe also with some warped victim blaming and sexism thrown in for good measure, topped wit

I think it depends on market conditions. If we do see a recession/depression over the next few years I'm curious to see how many of these "you're leaving money on the table" threads keep popping up on HN...

You just trolling or do you seriously think it was hedge funds who lost money?

You still would have given that same gift when Bitcoin was over $50K?

by headsoup 4y ago
Do you think Bitcoin reaching ~$70K was purely legitimate?

You mean had been better off, for a little while.

I wonder how long it would have taken to discover the gut-brain links if experts were not allowed to speak out of their fields. Do we also measure the credentials of the peers and check their biases before allowing them to approve argument

by headsoup 4y ago
Yes but people must do that every day anyway. It's like saying no expert opinion or statement is valid unless you check credentials first and they meet some arbitrary bar of merit. And even then, we've witnessed a long history of

Ah, the old everyone's an idiot that can't think critically thing. People might not form the opinion you want, but that doesn't mean they can't still be critical and come to an informed opinion. I think none of these top

So here contrarians are mutually exclusive with facts?
282.
by headsoup 4y ago
But then the question must be asked who then gives them an opinion?
283.
by headsoup 4y ago
Define 'some amount of credentials' and I'll bet I can find you scientists with them that support the thing you say is loony.

Yes it is way better! If flat Earth is so outlandish (which it is), it should be easily dismantled in debate and journalistic investigation. Not wanting to allow it full stop for fear of internet trolls grouping up is no solution at all.

Weird though that it's perfectly fine to host false statements so long as they're on the correct 'side.' Those become honest mistakes or 'the science changed,' etc. This helps no one, as does not allowing opp

Do you at least appreciate the irony of the BBC here saying we shouldn't give contrary opinions a stage as a way of ensuring integrity?

Almost every site I've had this pop-up on required no more than 2-5 clicks -> manage cookie options -> either select ok because everything but 'required' is already off or deselect a couple of options then ok. That&#x2

I would think those doing it the 'long' way are spending more time and energy thinking of returns. What actually are these legitimate reasons for SPAC, other than apparently nebulous instant increased returns for early investors?

This seems to imply that there would be some significant cost to BMW for implementing it, which is clearly not the case if it can be enabled on subscription. Otherwise just make headlights an optional subscription too because they're o

That's because parents were trying to enforce the strict school environment on their child at home, instead of realising kids can learn without being pinned to the desk and certainly won't get way behind in life by not doing stric

It's like there's no children outside of school and no way to introduce them to each other... Tell me, what is 'learning' social skills at school? That everyone was locked at home during the pandemic and couldn't g

by headsoup 4y ago
I think there is something wrong with an attitude that children not in school are apparently unable to learn and develop. And something even more horribly wrong if that is true.

How is Biden historical already? 'actual good,' is that like the no true Scotsman of good?

No, the point is just because something became popular doesn't mean it was because it was a high quality product technically or in UI. The early iPods sucked in usability (controversial!) And functionality, but became popular anyway.

So you're quite a fan of that Minority Report movie? We should just arrest everyone and put us all in home detention, then we'll never have crime! That's a big win, right? And we'll be monitoring the Politicians and Pol

To me it's quite simple. It's colour scheme does not indicate 'warning/NOTE.' I just looks like a happy themed title page. Make the text red, or put NOTE/Important! in bright, bold text etc and it'll get
