Here is a decent place to start [for anyone truly unaware of the history of bad climate predictions]: https://www.bing.com/search?q=bad%20climate%20predictions

Your reply, while valid in isolation, isn't a meaningful response to the parent post. There is no single "global warming prediction", there have been thousands. The parent was speaking to those, not whichever one ends up bei

My intention is to inform, not to blame. :) Otherwise, I agree with your suggestion [of providing more guidance on the reply screen] Until a better solution is implemented, would you help spread the word when you see code quotes used this w

Your quote is better than theirs, but your criticism ('incredibly disingenuous', 'spreading disinformation') is hyperbolic and assumes bad faith. Edit: This would be true even if they didn't provide a link to the so

This appears paywalled, what did they say? (Is it the "half of UK" which is rubbish?)

That style of quotation renders terribly on mobile. Preserving line width isn't helpful for non-code quotes. You can use ">" and wrap the quoted text with italicizing asterisks.

The WHO emphasized the lack of evidence for human-human transmission on Jan 14.

Edit: I thought you said "determine" rather than "know", answered accordingly below. Of course they don't "know", that's not a helpful question. The same way everyone does when trying to solve this

At the beginning of the pandemic, Amazon was overwhelmed by people panic buying or preparing for shelter in place. The problem was not primarily the shipping industry, it was within Amazon. They've since hired large numbers of people

I've done this. It doesn't work for some third party shippers who claim to ship immediately (cancel option removed) even if they don't.

Certain products will be made and/or stock-piled closer to home. The effect this has on globalism overall depends on how various factions battle over narratives.

What would you want moderators to do?

All events are the result of a complex web of causal histories. The choice of which factors to focus on sometimes depend on the biases of the speaker. In this case, a Darwin award seems more appropriate to me than blaming anyone for specula

In some regions, so far, I believe so. We can also expect fewer deaths from the flu, which is not insignificant. We'll see whether this remains true.

by jshevek 7y ago
I think people often mistake bias in the moderation for bias in the moderators, ignoring that much moderation depends on flagging, which in turn is influenced by the bias of the people who were attracted to the conversation.

Someone provided a better link. The link was changed after my comment, and before yours. Edit: All other discussion occurred after this point. It's possible the paywall prevented discussion.

Yes, probably because of the shutdown. We are discouraged from complaining about it, so I'd like to know the best way I can help to address the problem.

Regarding paying for WSJ, I think it would be better (between those two choices) for it to not be submitted. Articles which require payment are not accessible to the whole HN community. Edit: Also, thank you for the working link.

by jshevek 7y ago
Yes, I think there is a tidal pattern here, waxing and waning. With the shutdown, netizens are seeking new places to engage. In some threads, an unpleasant critical mass is reached. Signaling [to other users, not just to Dang] on the issue

"Simplified view" in Brave bypasses the paywall. I assume "reader view" in Firefox does the same.

by jshevek 7y ago
My understanding is that paywalled articles should be bypassable. It's okay to ask how to bypass it, but not to [hypothetically] complain about the need to bypass it.

How is this paywall bypassed? I've tried disabling scripts, reader view, and archive.org. https://web.archive.org/web/20200403225044/https://www.wsj.c... Edit: From the FAQ for HN: > Are paywalls

The parent noted a similarity. They did not argue for inaction or acceptance. Edit: For example, it could be interpreted as an argument to be more mindful of gold extraction externalities. My beef with the statement lies in "not any di

In this case, the insult is in how one chooses to perceive it. It's not present in the words themselves.
