I rarely read articles. Reading an article is a time commitment of, usually, at least several minutes. But I can skim through the comments without commitment. And often the first few comments are enough for me to decide if the article is wo

That wasn't an arbitrary definition invented by GP to make a point. It was copied from Wikipedia. Major dictionaries agree that censorship is not limited to government censorship. For example Webster defines “to censor” as “to examine

Water Rights are not an invention of the Western US. Scarcity of water is as old as society itself, and societies have developed countless different ways of allocating and enforcing that right. The ancient Romans had regulations on who coul

I am not an expert on sleep medicine, and so I recognize it's bold to claim that the American Academy of Sleep Medicine is wrong. But they are. Many good scientists still struggle with translating research data into real-world predicti

I wish more people would do what you just did here: State an opinion, get feedback, adjust their opinion. I wish HN and other social sites gave you the ability to update your comment at least with an indication that you no longer stand by i

One of the reasons people use social media is to get a feel for the generally environment of opinion, even if we disagree with it. We want to know what "people are saying" and understand the rapidly-changing boundaries of what is

I love this idea. I have been working on something similar and would love to discuss this with you some more. Anonymity is important but tricky. Many researchers believe that anonymity can be key to countering groupthink, where people say w
