I called this out a few months ago, and got told by a moderator to not employ conspiracy theories. Yet, week by week, I watch as brand new accounts show up on these types of posts to spout the same short-sighted, toxic talking points that a

This is such a stupid talking point. It's like me setting up a bunch of gas canisters and then someone else coming in and burning those canisters, and then that person proclaiming "I didn't put the canisters there though.&quo

We are anything if not constantly chemically altered. From the food we eat, to the drinks we consume, to the things we inhale.

I strongly disagree. In fact, I'm of the opinion these days that if you can't communicate effectively and proficiently over text, you're in the wrong field; at the very least I'm going to question how much you are "

And where did I say you were? There you go again. Stop trying to waste people's time and be constructive about something.

Yes, racists tend to be in the Republican party. That is not saying that all Republicans are racist. Or that there is some intrinsic quality about republican and racist. Although it should make you question why you're apart of the same

Not a very reasonable analogy at all. Of course you and your ilk need to resort to such nonsense to waste everyone's time.

No it isn't. He's advocating for publication of data. No where does that align with a climate change "skeptic"

No one said they weren't allowed. It's just exceedingly unlikely that as a scientist you would align yourself with a political party that has had a staunch anti-science platform for the past two decades.

Flip a coin 4 times, all 4 times the coin lands on heads. You: "Statistics is bullshit."

He literally just explained this. Democrats then are not the same Democrats now. The people (southern whites) that committed violence against blacks who were democrats back then, are very, very likely to be Republican these days.

>We don't impeach Presidents because a loud group of people dislikes the fact that they lost an election. That's an incredibly disingenuous statement.

Well that's clearly false to everyone else, and again, is kind of irrelevant.

Assuming something isn't valid because it contains a fallacy is in and of itself a fallacy. Ad hominems are used all the time in extremely valid ways. Take what he said in spirit, instead of literally.

That's not the same thing as showing different results per user. It's just tacking on the user's operations when it renders out the front page. They're two completely different operations, with completely different com

I put "good" in quotes for a reason. I never said "hire the best"; that isn't a requirement for anything that was stated. There shouldn't really be a measurable overhead of running a distributed system, at lea

I would say in a lot of cases understanding that there are some basic failures is probably a great starting point to cleaning up the development effort. There's not much else I can say other than that, considering how vague OP's p

1. I think this is rather obvious, work with what you have. Maybe think about hiring specifically for areas your team is in lacking in, as long as the team as a whole will see decent benefit from it. 2. I hate to say you're doing micro

I literally have struggled to come up with an appropriate question that addresses the several different misconceptions about your statement, so I'll just go with this: what? How is anything you stated remotely analogous to what is in t

Are you seriously going to try to treat a blip from one publisher and act like it's characteristic of the whole ecosystem? For your information, other publishers that are apart of the "MSM" called out the Rolling Stone articl
