If you put just a bit more effort in and actually respond to people's points, including my previous ones, then I'll be willing to then expend more of my energy and answer your specific question - but it seems to just be another st

How about you address the points they responded to you with instead of sarcasm? You asked for details, you got details, now you avoid - so you really seem firmly indoctrinated into an unchallenged ideology - seemingly because you refuse to

Have you looked up the statistics and not viewed it from a race lens? Do you have the belief that the way immigration is structured can't ever "be a problem"? I'd recommend looking into the quality of life and cost of li

Can I inquire why you decided to jump ship on X? If something(s) changed there would you have stayed or would you return? By measurable account he's made the platform better overall, contrary to certain propaganda narrative talking poi

And it's even easier to displace or misplace blame when you control the state-funded media in Canada - like CBC getting $1.6 billion annually, and the other popular channels getting $600 million annually distributed amongst them.

The TL;DR would be that you can regulate-manage how, how much, or if you are shaped by an experience. And understanding this and factors that help or factors that may make you more prone or fragile, make it more difficult to regulate, is va

Step one with someone locked or frozen-stuck in such belief-logic is that improvement is possible - which is part of developing psychological flexibility. You'd have to pay attention and find any step forward possible for them to begin

This is missing the understanding that there is a lever to mitigate what you describe above that I believe likely everyone, or close to everyone, is able to develop through practice. Four factors that are party to this mechanism of not &quo

Next step to level the playing field: eliminate patents. Getting rid of non-competes is a matter of levelling the playing field in free market capitalism, no?

I have lots of thoughts written in draft notes, hopefully someday in the next few years it'll be worthwhile to compile it all and polish into a blog post; part of it has been studying behaviour associated with how various platforms sim

Oh certainly, and the way you have designed it is doing what you want - it seems to work for you - along with causing unmeasurable externalized consequences, but to each their own. Repetition doesn't bother me personally, especially wh

Shocking how a person who's deeply thought through something and has developed a strong stance against something may also have created a solution to help fill in the gap where VC industrial complex may be beneficial, e.g. networking an

Oh boy, global consensus? That's a big ask. Why not allow branches of divergence? You'll maintain a higher and increasing level of free help from a bigger base of contributors that way.

Care to share examples? Accelerators can be a great fit for some people at a certain stage of their life, development, or understanding of these systems; it really depends on what your end goal is too.

And don't mention a dislike for "that one thing" too many times.

Pointing this out seems to popular in comments, and doesn't seem to add anything to the conversation.
257.
by loceng 2y ago
So what do you suggest, suppressing or censoring dissenting voices? Your comment also doesn't add anything to the conversation, does it?

Good ideas are arguably emergent from "time spent on problem" - where time spent on problem is also considered a key metric. If people do want to play the VC industrial complex game - then at least understand the pros and cons of

Also understand the VC industry is inherent with learning from the ideas submitted to them as part of curating deal flow; and it's common for them to justify it with a mantra that ideas are supposedly not worth anything, and it's

Who would you accept as a credible source? Will it be from any of the people complicit in what's being testified to in an official government senate hearing?

Can't reply to your other message since it was made dead: I agree with the sentiment, HN is captured by ideology-false narratives and bad actors, and the mechanisms give them outweighed power to suppress.

Do you know of how Pfizer designed the COVID-19 shot clinical trial, and how they designed the app to collection symptom reports from the clinical reserch participants? Do you know of Maddie de Garay's story?

I'm still surprised the scandal of how Pfizer's clinical trial for COVID-19 was designed isn't widely known - most specifically with how the app to collect clinical trial participant reports was designed: 1) there was no free

You'd think or hope they'd be tracking, A/B testing to see how this goes - and I wonder if incentives are perfectly aligned between Twitch's profits-costs and of the streamers they have to share ad revenues with?

They want to be able to control-direct the narratives that people see - where if they can't fully control it, as part of the censorship-suppression-narrative control apparatus Facebook is party to toeing the line for - they will try to
