Some of this goes beyond party. "Anti-semitism" is an AIPAC carve-out and AIPAC owns both parties.

It serves the narrative, which is more important than facts. That's why people often say we are living in a "post-truth society."

You can't. This is the very reason the scientific method exists.

Hahaha, that was my exact feeling, as well!

The movie Gattaca addresses this very topic.

Neutrality has nothing to do with it. HN should not be for political discourse; therefore, neutrality is orthogonal to the site's character. Many of us agree, hence the flags.

Sadly, this is very true in my experience. We are all fallen to some degree, but few, including Christians, seem to have the humility to recognize this in themselves.

The solution for many issues that pose negative effects on society is, indeed, the removal of personal liberties and choice. That's literally what law is.

With current birth rates in developed countries, it won't take a few thousand years. Not even close. Nice hyperbole, though.

Would you care to elaborate how? Logic doesn't care about your feelings or mine on the topic; it simply is .

Are you familiar with AQAL? You strike me as someone on a high level of cognition. Unfortunately for you (and me), we are stuck in a world of low-level thinkers mostly concerned with their own control. You and I can wish it wasn't so

As someone who has showdead turned on, I'm reasonably certain that users and websites can be shadowbanned. To know for certain you'd have to ask the user directly, or dang would have to weigh in.

I have no idea what a "chatbot hunt" is and why there would be economic value in hunting them.

This kind of stock marketing script tends not to fly on HN. If you want general interest you need to go deeper than this.

The only way--the only way--to solve these issues is with web servers requiring that all clients authenticate with a credential that is provably tied to a real-world entity--person or corporate entity--so that legal recourse is available

I appreciate your empathetic need to help, but the answer is not more tech, no matter how that tech is funded. It's less tech. As a species we have to return to more local life where we grow up knowing those around us, including the

XML makes sense in this case because the project files already use XML and the build tools are already optimized for it.

It's not up to the President to do everything that needs doing. Presidents make stupid promises they can never fulfill all the time; this has been the case going back decades at a minimum, and probably further than that. It's real

My mom's iPad's screen has failed so she asked me to look into a new iPad for her. I'm not generally interested in Apple products personally; in just five minutes of research, I ran into the same confusion you have. iPads use

"haircut" LMAO. Is this a reference to something or just snark?

To answer the question directly: there isn't an obvious way that is economical. There's nothing intrinsically valuable about a group of 40+ technologists when most investments seem to be in the AI space or in other hype-driven spa

The people who oppose you disagree and see it exactly the opposite. That's why we vote--to see who wants what.

As do I. I was going to post the same thanks. Hacker News has become Reddit with these stupid political posts. It's crazy how far this site has fallen in such a short time.

If people choose not to have children, then they choose not to. That leaves only two possibilities: change social and economic conditions such that enough of them choose to, or force women to. Obviously, no society would choose the latter o

Why is that a difficult question to answer? Nearly all adults have Star ID driver licenses that are basically as good as passports for that very purpose. Required documentation is consistent and easily acquired. In general, birth certificat
