“The question is whether the data is accurate, not whether it is complete” Oh so Lies of omission don’t exist? Deception researchers will be very keen to hear how that works. So if someone Mormon bubbles a photo of you that also has a kid i

Well than it’s good that none of this is literally forbidden despite the dramatics. Then author just wanted to be over dramatic about how it’s not cost competitive to build in the Bay Area vs places like Reno where the land is cheaper and l

Nice, you’ve just described how confirmation bias works. Out of context, incomplete single data points that feels like one’s already held view is how confirmation bias works.

You’re right! Elon musks is gods gift to man, an infallible modern day Einstein who’s absolutely not racist or off the deep end. How did I not realize the thousands of reports suggesting otherwise were actually all examples of nefarious pro

I saw complaints that amounted to “it’s more expensive to build out large industrial facilities in bay area than in Reno” okay what’s different in Reno hmmm I could be like the website and try to imply it’s only environmental regulations… o

Really? Since it’s lacking any comparison to other states and because many of these complaints single out metropolitan areas comparison to nationwide census of metro areas, what actual conclusions are you drawing that are valid? Context mat

Oh I didn’t realize pineapple farms were banned in California and Alaska. I thought they hadn’t been built for other reasons over the last decade. But according to this, not being built means banned. TIL! Started reading this site but the m

I’ll defer to the majority of German newspapers - Germany is kind of an authority on this topic - it was a nazi salute. The son of the apartheid, musk, even literally videoed in to Germany’s modern day extremist party, the afd, that same da

Noice, defending musks hitler salute. Tesla is a meme stock and will one day explode like a game of hot potato. Going online and defending every poor decision musk makes won’t change the reality that these days musk is a drugged out buffoon

Okay… well it was extensively reported like everywhere so I don’t know what you’ve been doing but it’s sure not reading the NYT, NPR, CBS or the similar. Okay so you somehow haven’t seen any of the many many accounts of doge being extremely

by mint5 8mo ago
Please don’t cite doge itself as if it’s a reliable source. Citing doge as a source shows that your viewpoint is built on provenly bad info. And Frankly it’s insulting to HN readers that it’s being cited given how well published it was that

A man cuts back on his budget for vegetables and other healthy groceries to save money while also 10xing his spend on alcohol which he likes ice cold, surpassing the food budget by far. Most people: “hey dude that’s a huge mistake for xy an

Yeah a known Russian propagandist would say that, obviously. He’s specifically know for reciting Russian dissinformation on Ukraine. It’s very very tellingyour go to source was a Russian disinfo guy. Col Jacques baud per Wikipedia: He has b

Egh pontzer and his misinterpreted studies again. Exercise burns extra calories, just not as much as one would expect based on simple calcs. At least this time the article is mostly okay, last article I saw here a while back was basically s

Please don’t put in extra bright headlights on cars. Stock LED headlights being to bright for other drivers is already a massively common complaint — and then we have people installing even brighter ones? Please don’t.

I’m sure the low shrubs and lichen will provide excellent coverage for the proposed resistance that hide in the wilderness… I hadn’t realized Greenlanders are 6 inch tall so I’d discounted that possibility due to the essentially zero forest

That whole post parent is woefully uninformed, talking as if Greenland is actually green or otherwise suitable for sustained guerrilla warfare. It’s not, towns are solely on the coast and rely on the sea for a reason. The talk of reasons fo

“If Trump is not credible”!!??? If??! Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me, fool me 500 times, I want to be lied to” Similarly no one believes Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was to “denazi-ify” it as Putin and the kremlin clai

Except neither Trump or Rubio are credible sources. Their actions and words are notoriously unreliable. In fact, citing them as an authority leads to the transitive property applying to credibility in an argument. All of us here know Trump

Why is it as a soon as a politician announces they will start in the future to have a concept of a plan at tackling an issue, many people react as if it’s already done? No actual implementation steps have been taken or explained. Will this

Yet, we’re heading a dangerous path. Ice could easily start rounding up citizens soon… I mean “domestic terrorists” which is how anyone opposing Trump could be labeled soon

If only it were that easy… Overthrowing a dictator most often gets either a new dictator or years of brutal violence and turmoil Were you in favor of the Iraq war?

I strongly disagree that it’s pointing out the gas leak, it’s posting the way a foreign dictator would gleefully like his minions to post. “See that democracy has always been just like us” If I were a totalitarian leader of any sort, I’d de
