I think the parent’s point was that “them” is referring to a group that is “other than normal”, and that that should raise caution. (Not agreeing or disagreeing, simply trying to infer the meaning.)

> I wish the same focus was given to weight loss, smoking, etc. No one really cares about living an extra 10 years from 70 to 80 if it means giving up 40+ yesrs of enjoying bad habits. It’s the same thing, right? That is, exercise may

Anecdotal counterpoint: I have been quite sedentary for several years, since going fully remote. I had seasons where I would gain wait and lose weight, and my level of activity remained unchanged. A few years ago, I started paying more atte

Anecdotally, I own a Kia EV6, and had to get new tires within two years, under 20k miles. I leave it in eco mode, so acceleration is nerfed, too. We’ll see how long the new set of Michelin Defenders last.

No, it’s not a joke. EVs are heavier vehicles, and it’s common for EV owners to have to change tires much more frequently. https://www.cars.com/articles/do-evs-wear-through-tires-more...

I need to try some of their other ones. I’ve only played Opus Magnum, which I loved. But being the completionist that I am, I stopped playing it once I got to a level I wasn’t able to perfectly optimize across all three measurements.

Congrats, Anthony and Ben! Super excited for you both! (And still miss you at Kaggle!) :-)

I’m not necessarily saying it is or isn’t. But I think, by definition, if an article draws a lot of flagged/downvoted comments (as this one has), it’s hard to argue that it’s not divisive, at least to this audience.

by jader201 1y ago
I don’t disagree. I’m just afraid it’s a hard problem to solve, at least an automated one. At one point, I proposed a read-only option for (well-reported) divisive articles to help raise awareness without resulting in flame wars. But there

I think parent just means that it’s a divisive topic, which means on the internet, that inherently makes it flamebait (and not necessarily through any fault of the reporting). Even on HN (and sometimes, especially on HN). There are some div

Then you’re in agreement with the article: > I try very seldom to call for anyone to be fired, but I think whoever authorized this movie ad through Wallet push notifications ought to be canned.

You must not be allergic, then, because it lasts a lot longer than a stubbed toe, and much more painful than simply “irritating”. I’d rather stub my toe 10 times than get stung by a bee — well, maybe not the same toe. :)

I’ve not really educated myself on the details of cancer treatments (I’m fortunate I’ve not had to learn yet), so my uneducated assumption was that chemo always did something for cancer, it was more a matter of weighing how much it helped

Ads have been on TV since the beginning of TV. And before that, that were — and still are — on radio. Where they’re also “irrelevant”. But the relevancy to our current activities isn’t tied to their effectiveness. I know that they’re effect
