   Nah, can't be. HN is surely an unbiased sample of the population. /s

   "Jobs board for people with psychic problems." Don't you mean "psychological"? Is it for people who are struggling with depression or summoning Cthulhu?

   You can rest your case all you want, you're still wrong. The language in the original comment did not imply ALL journalists. You are arguing against your own misunderstanding.

   Sure, but then the distinction between science / not-science hasn't got that much value. A not-science (math) is the most critical tool in the scientific toolbox, and hence contributed more to scientific progress than any isolated

   I understand what you are saying, but on the other hand we don't call calculus "physics" just because it was introduced by Newton (and Leibniz, yeah yeah). Also, modern economics use some heavy mathematical tools, yet nobody

   No, it's not. longdelay has their own interests and thinks that adherence to those interests defines the value of a branch of science for everyone.

   On top of that, German (and I think European, code law) practice has a weighted view of human rights. If two rights come into conflict, one must prevail. For example, if somebody promotes the idea that people should start a "holy war&q

    I had a lot of trouble understanding it as well. I also don't find speaking about organizational questions in overly software engineering terms any good. "It's rather coupling than an adapter." No, just say that the spon

    True. But also, this decouples cars from fossil fuel dependency. So switching to something cleaner, like nuclear or wind/solar wouldn't require uprooting cars as a whole.

    I think the Black-Scholes model and its history in the financial world shows how fragile physics-inspired models are in explaining social behaviour.

    I chose Windows as a development and creative machine. Visual Studio and .Net are great for what I do.

    Huh? HN is about corporate interest and globalism. Also, I don't necessarily see why those are bad things.

    Didn't know that. Could you provide a source? Everything that I read was about basic user behaviour.

    Yeah, you are right. And these apps are proprietary. So there is no way to look at their source and make sure everything's good.

    Remember when Microsoft used very basic telemetry in Windows 10 and everybody on HN lost their shit as if it's the privacy armageddon? Google: (very intrasparently tracks your location history, even when settings are off) HN: Yeah, nah

    The design of the Euro is intentional. This is why countries have to adhere to some pretty strict fiscal requirements to join the Euro: specifically to avoid BS like the one happened in Greece. Well, Greece lied about their compliance with

    So the article deliberately confuses "self-obsessed" with "individualist culture".

    I feel this is painfully banal. I know that it is industry best practice, but still. It is pretty transparent when somebody is writting to me to sell something and I care less about that text instinctively. I don't care what the copywr

    This is a factual statement. But I see how it can be seen as an emotionally charged one. White people are too ambigously defined a group to have one common culture. Hence the term is nonsense.

    I don't think this is a moral question, but rather a question of reality. Black culture does not exist globally. Black culture of the United States does exist, because black people in the U.S. have a common history and common socie

    Nobody forced for example the Baltic states into NATO. They did that because these countries felt threatened by Russia. I think there were even referendums on this and they came out overwhelmingly positive. The belief in Ukraine, however, w

    There's a slight error there. SNB was buying foreign currency to lower the CHF exchange rate in an effort to protect the Swiss export industry.
