There are so many legit, ethical behavioral geneticists in this world, and of course wsj had to go and publish Charles Murray. Believe it or not, most actual academic behavioral geneticists hate this guy’s guts! Anyway, if you’re interested

Read either CTCI or Elements of Programming Interviews. The key is knowing that the problems you’ll be presented with aren’t as novel or random as they might seem. The same general topics and problem classes come up over and over, and once

Yes, that’s how obeying the rules and operating within the system works.

Unfortunately, I have no faith in the HN audience’s ability to actually read the article rather than just assuming that it’s yet another standard takedown of wokeness and initiating the usual anti-woke CJ that the article describes.

Personally, I’m voting to make the USA a socialist country, like nearly every other first-world country on Earth is. I hope a lot of other folks will join me.

Is it considered kosher here to post a link in a comment after it was flagged and made dead? Seems like you’re trying to circumvent HN’s system.

That’s weird; which word did they ban you for?

Good for them, they have no obligation to host right-wing propaganda.

You are once again spreading the lie that there is some magical legal difference between a “platform” and a “publisher” that somehow limits a company’s ability to control what its users do on that company’s own servers. There is no such dis

I mean, I haven’t watched every 9-hour-long flat earther video on YouTube either, but I’m still pretty certain that the world’s not flat.

You’re suggesting that OP devote his or her time to learning pseudo-science. Hard to think of anything that could possibly have less value than that.

Hey, you’re preaching to the choir. I’m in favor of nationalizing all industry.

It kinda seems to me that the fact that the government has proven to be able to successfully provide postal service is evidence that we don’t need private alternatives introducing inefficiencies in the form of rent seeking

the actual definition of nationalizing is even better than what I thought; they should do that!

That’s what nationalization means.

I don’t think it’s a dog whistle, because the ACLU is stating it openly and clearly: ICE and CBP are unconstitutionally violating our civil rights. Nothing winky or noddy about it, and good on them for not mincing words!

Highly recommended! This book is relatively easy to understand, and guides the reader toward the practical application of causal concepts, eg in the realm of epidemiological research. Judea Pearl’s book, by the way, accomplishes neither of

This pattern happens so often that you’d think people would start to catch on. A story about one person supposedly being “outraged” about something leads to a huge vigorous CJ of folks eager to express their anti-outrage-outrage at the stra

Yikes, if that happened at your workplace I hope you talked to HR about it. That’s a “joke” in the form of a death threat.

Why are articles from this site being spammed so intensely on HN right now?
261.
by iron0013 7y ago
Reactionary outrage bait like this is one of the most popular categories of posts on HN, and can always be counted on to receive plenty of upvotes.

Anyone got a link from a more reputable outlet? I’m surprised the Daily Mail hasn’t been banned from HN.

“Feyerabend, who defended astrology and creationism...” go ahead and stop right there, that’s all anyone needs to know, frankly.

I shudder to think what would have happened if Obama had ultimately refused to give up his personal phone, and every half-talented hacking group on the planet had pwned it six ways from Sunday—what a national security disaster that would ha

It’s so funny to me that when it comes to whether YouTube or Facebook or whoever should be forced to host hate speech on their servers, the HN zeitgeist shouts “Platforms! Publishers! The right to free speech is absolute in all contexts—it’

Wow, I just discovered that people dislike this sensation—I’ve always loved it. It feels like my head is “exploding with silence” when it happens

One thing I’ve noticed is that expatriates from blue states tend to bring their politics with them when they move. Denver’s influx of out-of-staters was a big part of why Colorado moved from purple to solid blue, and now the same thing is h

I’d love to be wrong, but my gut feeling is that a huge proportion of HN readers are men—probably even a larger proportion than in the tech industry in general. It makes it feel kinda weird when these articles the gist of which are “women a

Very strongly recommend that anyone and everyone explore the entire ubuweb website! There is a lot (pretend I capitalized that entire word for emphasis) there, and a lot of it is very good. I can’t really think of another highbrow art and c

I hope people will follow the link to the actual research before commenting, because it addresses almost all of the objections that I’m seeing pop up repeatedly here: https://www.hindawi.com/journals/omcl/2019&#x2F
