Precisely. I remember hearing him in his debates years ago and the jokes about "well it's not like he's a brain surgeon...what!?"

I usually consider Ben Carson as a modern and well known example.

Do you know exactly how your car works? How every food you eat is specifically processed? Anti-vaxxers are disrespected because they use "mom science" rather than respecting the evidence created by those whose job it is to researc

To all the others saying intelligent anti-vaxxer is an oxymoron, you can be brilliant in some fields and have doorknob level intelligence in others.

Seems like both can be true. Author could be entitled and annoying to manage, and the manager could be showing his worst side to this crummy employee.

At least in the IT world, there are lots of contractors sold on their certifications who end up being complete frauds. I'd like there to be some sort of way to prove your merit especially when you have people's lives in your hands

I think Black 3.0 which is around 98-99% and anyone can buy it except for Anish Kapoor

I wouldn't assume that human traffickers are proud of what they do, or that they enjoy it. I guess the question is why does someone get into a hard criminal lifestyle like that in the first place. Maybe education and opportunity are th

But I have parents. Do you think I was raised in a vacuum?

So if there was no threat of punishment you would become a murderous, thieving, drug user?

Just because it's the traditional view doesn't mean it's correct, or that it works. Crimes like drug use have shown great benefit from using rehabilitation over punishment, as proven in Portugal's long test of decriminal

Better education and healthcare I'd assume.

I never claimed to be wiser, though there is evidence that agrees. At least in the US, murder rates are consistently higher in states with the death penalty. https://web.archive.org/web/20140330143555/http:/&#

That's crazy. I recall a good pair of Levi's being about $40-50, though I'd have 2 pairs and put them to work for years.

H&M makes clothes that seem to have the texture and quality of tissue paper. I understand they are cheap but I assume shopping there is like being the poor man in the boot theory of socioeconomic unfairness.

Apologies. Punishment is not a deterrent.

Except that has never proven to reduce recidivism, and in the US seems to increase it. The Swedes seem to have much better luck with education, training, and rehabilitative options.

It's the same if not better compared to the alternative, right? Person isn't bothering society and the state isn't subsidizing their imprisonment. Exiling people kinda sounds like the best option unless you like punishment.

Individually, even most of the rich don't directly pollute so much as entire industries. On the HN front page there's an article stating that shipping companies have collectively spent $12 billion to cheat and instead of polluting

It's pretty common, sometimes you'll see multiple countries claiming the takedown and have a few different crests.

There's a radio host in Florida that had something like 4-6 heart attacks and 11 stents.

It's harder to accept telecom bribes when you have an official agency telling you how terrible they are.

I'll throw it on the pile of all the other credit monitoring I've gotten from other breaches.

Anecdotally they've been the worst. Since you're adding a delivery middle man to the process instead of having a restaurant deliver straight to you, the food is usually later and colder. I think the only reason to use them is if y

Some email services let you receive to a wildcard, so anything on your domain. Also I believe Blur already does this (the company name may have changed but I forget)

Since when is HN a news-only aggregator? The top story right now has a click-bait headline as well and is about octopodes.

The best thing I did last year was going to a gym 2 weeks before xmas and getting a membership and a trainer. I didn't tell anyone, I didn't make it my "new year resolution", I just went and did it. I'm still happil
