From the link: Mike Pence once supported the use of federal funding to treat people "seeking to change their sexual behavior." That seems like a great thing to fund. Looks like our current vice president seems interested in

I know you don't understand me but I'm basically saying that there is a religion that espouses responsibility, that has ancient relevance to the human race. Then there is atheism which basically means follow nothing, do what you w

Oh my god dude... it's simple, you believe in responsibility or you do not believe in it.

Situation is bad, what to do? Work to change it. Criticism without means to enact improvements is meaningless. Then let these weak men suffer and wither. Harder working men will prevail

Well the problem is that you think you somehow know how to adjust the status quo correctly in order to properly set up your nation for the rest of the 21st century. But the reality is that you have no idea, probably because you're a pr

Sure it has merit to say that, generally speaking, Christianity espouses responsibility and atheism does not. Where are the tracts of Atheist values and dogma that carry a deep message of responsibility? Point me to _any_ symbolic represent

I'll venture a guess: We've been talking about rights for so long, as a nation, that we forgot to discuss responsibility. The major media and political narratives are focusing on the rights of women, the rights of trans folks, the

You're also not interested in debating your opinions, which is your right but also frustrating.

The point of the list is to reduce the best human behavior into a small cheat sheet. It's like boilerplate that includes all the important functions. The complexity of the environment created by and occupied by human experiences is inf

Well, I could argue that people are waiting to tell you the principles of their behavior, but you've yet to ask. If people look serious in a coffee shop, it's acceptable to ask them why they look serious. Perhaps the commandments

Sorry Dang. I'll try to not do this in the future, as it does make HN a worse place for everyone.

Hmm, I have not considered how they're retrieving driving data. I'm sure they're getting that data back somehow. It's a lot of data to waste.

by hi-im-mi-ih 9y ago
You make some great points here. However, isn't 27 vehicles small potatoes? Tesla has almost 500,000 cars on the road and it also has 5 billion miles driven. That's a lot of training data. The approach to self-driving cars is larg

I don't think that angry Twitter comments are a sure sign of impending nuclear war. We'll become wary when there are border skirmishes and killing of diplomats.

You're absolutely insane if you think we should abandon capitalism. It is about the only social system that does not result in the state killing hundreds of millions of it's own. The ideologies that you profess here are incredibly

Being poor is not a sacrifice. Being poor is a condition in the terms of your life. A sacrifice is being frugal, being diligent, and working hard at self-improvement - Do all poor people do that consistently, as a quality of being poor? Of

You need to refute the central point of my argument, not provide a counterexample as you have done.

This is Marxism at it finest: boil the complex reality of the wealth generation and the economic productivity of the super rich into a seductive narrative about oppression using a ratio that you actually wrote incorrectly: Harder than 9

Do you have an argument against women being hypergamous, or are you just going to be derisive in every comment?

by hi-im-mi-ih 9y ago
Yes, I've been in this type of situation for 9 months. My reaction to it is that, yes, the golden boy is much better than me and he knows what he's doing. I respect his competence.

So you conclude that I have a sexist line of thinking because I dispute that the reason for the pay gap is men's sexism?

If empiricism was the interest of the social sciences, they would abandon all work on implicit bias, for you cannot reliably test for it and there is no evidence that IBT affects one's behaviour in any way other than making them more p

Comparable skills is not the same as equally skilled. You provide an example of sexism but that's not what happens in the real world - In that scenario, Al is pissed because he has to do all the work when he knows full well Marcy can d

In my argument I was more making the claim that you're going to see more research supporting the left if all your researchers lean left. Also, you could make a much stronger argument that liberals value 'fairness' over factua

You're right, it's not a good reason. I'm just skeptical how social sciences can come to fair conclusions when is almost no representation of the political right in their field. However you might be able to say the same about

Two engineers placed side by side are never "equally qualified." Their competence will differ. If you look solely at their degrees and work history alone, you'd be ignoring the individual abilities of the engineers. The paren

There's no evidence that one's implicit associations affect their behavior. Also the Implicit Associations Test used to determine your implicit associations in the first place is unreliable. Implicit bias testing and training is p

The higher number of men in senior positions isn't necessarily sexist. I think it's because men are more likely to accept insane work-life balance in exchange for the status, because it increases their attractiveness more than it

Music is a pretty widely-accepted noise masking solution, though.
