Tyranny cloaks itself in morality. Nothing new. I hope most people know we don’t need that kind of advocacy.

Strange to see these ideas on a site called “Hacker News” given the “hacker ethic” is to make information available to all: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker_ethic

Not to mention bot farms. The most-viewed source of “misinformation” in the linked 2020 report simply… doesn’t exist anymore. Have we just been hearing about crappy sites buying views these past few years?

They’re doing it anyway. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.

> Why the double standard for Turkiye? It's just pure racism. It’s Türkiye, not Turkiye: https://www.un.org/en/about-us/member-states/turkiye I don’t appreciate being called racist.

Honestly sounds more like basic probability—splitting up large families into small, isolated units. I tried searching for what you’re talking about but couldn’t find anything other than stuff like “white nuclear family hegemony” vis-à-vis t

Honestly it’s been great they stepped up patrols this year. A fair number of female friends had been staying off the subway because they didn’t feel safe. My girlfriend witnessed a violent robbery just outside our station last night. I thin

Maybe it could be opt-in. Elect to pay a little bit extra in taxes. Then you get to go to the government home. I’d fully support that. In reality, people don’t really care much about very elderly people. Not even their own families most of

Meth is substantially more serotonergic IIRC. Can’t find the numbers.

I don’t really see what’s not okay? My credit card company doesn’t send me offers from other companies alongside theirs, even though the networks are a duopoly. When I pull up to McDonald’s they don’t ask me if I’d like to order sides from

The FDA doesn’t prove anything. They evaluate claims.

I just don’t see how selling snake oil made my neighborhood safer. Like I don’t see how those two things are connected at all other than through motivated reasoning. Not to mention anybody can still walk into my local Walgreens at 4 A.M. wi

Definitely playing with fire. Inflation works in practice because people are intrinsically happier when they have more money. And we discovered in 1971 that “the printing press is inexhaustible.” Maybe shifting attention to producers is the

Anecdotally it’s still fine at enterprise-y stuff (e.g. corporate law), worse at day-to-day stuff and history, and way worse at medical stuff. Honestly with the amount of scolding it does I don’t think it’s that healthy for kids.

The natives were heavily armed and owned tons of slaves. A prevailing view was slaves were foisted on the colonists by King George III through a combination of debt and the trans-Atlantic slave trade, so a big goal of the Revolution was end

I’m perfectly fine with tougher laws against organized retail crime. Seems like a loophole that should be closed now that anybody can fence in bulk using services like Amazon FBA.

Check the markets. Everyone’s losing money on solar. If there’s a sunk cost at play, it’s probably there.

It’s objectively one of the best-performing assets in human history. Lots of funds are buying. What do you mean by “artificial demand”?

Nah this site is way different. Gotta get my Erlang news somewhere else. It’s still fascinating to read takes like this.

Concomitant is the erosion of spirituality and its replacement with other forms of tribalism. Atheists now donate to politicians at incredible rates—more than any other group.

I believe the Fourteenth Amendment gives Congress the power of enforcement, not the Colorado Supreme Court. I don’t think the framers intended for people to pick and choose parts of the Constitution to go after people they don’t like.

All your examples have fundamentally new stuff at the core though? E-commerce lets you compete with hundreds of brick-and-mortar locations using a single warehouse. Crypto enabled global 24/7 markets. CDOs were derivatives with built-i

I mean, I dunno, the Puritans were upset at tolerance. It’s not really puritanical if Amazon doesn’t want to run an internet brothel. Besides, any time you let new content on a social site you risk getting flooded and people leaving.

The scope is huge. There are basically venture capital funds that invest in these groups now.
