I’m not sure what this has to do with leftists, as the idea that Taleb is a leftist is absolutely risible. He’s a reactionary egomaniac who thinks all of his ideas are correct simply because they are HIS ideas, and obviously HE can never be

The frustrating thing from the perspective of an individual differences researcher is that Taleb is not at all correct about IQ becoming less predictive of performance at higher levels! Studies pretty consistently show that IQ is a valid pr

I have a Mid 2014 MBP with a GeForce GT 750M currently running Sierra, and I'm so glad I saw this before I "upgraded" to Mojave! Despite my system claiming that it supports Metal, there are numerous reports of people with sys

Why is Labor being "savaged" if the conservatives are the ones presenting, pushing for, and providing the overwhelming proportion of the votes for the bill?

That sounds like either something that didn't happen, or something legal that you are intentionally twisting to make sound equivalent to the (very illegal) things that are going on in North Carolina. Care to provide some evidence backi

Thank you for sharing this, I enjoyed it very much. I've always been fascinated by the fact that the culture of architecture is (or at least has been) more aligned with that of art and literary criticism than, for example, engineering.

To this reader, nothing you've written is cogent, earnest, or in good faith, fwiw. I'm seeing a lot of projection, dissembly, disingenuousness, and now insults. Mods, are you seeing this or what?

Those who have been subscribed for a long time know that the content selection is abysmal compared to what it was in the past. A long time ago, I remember feeling surprised when they didn't have something specific I wanted to see; now

I see this kind of response a lot, and unfortunately it's difficult to respond to you without taking what I feel you would interpret as a patronizing tone. If you read the article, you would find links to research articles and addition

This is just another data point in a long, long line of research demonstrating that spanking and corporal punishment in general is harmful. It is very frustrating to watch people (in this thread and elsewhere) blithely continue to believe w

Symbols only have the meaning that they are given through use. A symbol that originally has one meaning can take on another meaning if it is used to convey that second meaning. Just look at what happened to the word "Isis" over th

I'd like to know why you think it's likely, considering that it's a strong claim for you to make.

This is not pyschology's replication crisis. Every field has replication problems, psychology is just one of the only fields taking it seriously.

I'm surprised that you'd think yours would be an unpopular or taboo opinion on Hacker News, of all places. I opened this thread certain that it would be an echo chamber (other places where couthness is less mandatory might instead

The very fact that so many people happily use DuckDuckGo instead of Google is proof enough that Google isn't an essential utility. The same story is true for all the rest: I'm sure you know people who have left Facebook completely

It is frankly terrifying to me that so many voices in this thread are defending this blatantly unconstitutional and thoroughly authoritarian idea. If this ridiculous proposition is not beyond the pale, perhaps nothing is--a chilling thought

It's easy enough to google it yourself if you think "no means no" being related to rape is just a figment of google's algorithm that appears for some people and not others. What was returned when you googled it for yours

I know, right? Almost like someone decided that investing a little bit of energy to manipulate a relatively small forum whose members wield an out-sized amount of power might generate a spectacular bang for the buck.

I'm not sure that's true. Every single post about climate change or global warming, for instance--no matter how tech-related the story may happen to be--gets flagged almost immediately. That's not being done by liberals.

It is (or was?) quite common to have a valet key, which would start the car, but not open the trunk or glove compartment--and in some cases would limit the speed of the car to below e.g. 30mph, in case some valet tried to take the car for a
