For whatever reason I’m unable to respond to the response to this, so I’ll put this here: > Bankers generally put out analyses like this to convince would-be clients that their firm can make them money by making smart predictions about t

This is a fascinating word game! He doesn’t actually think that in order to increase returns it’s a good idea to increase foreclosures and allow further spread of a pandemic. He doesn’t actually want or openly advocate for these meas

So the phrase “will require” is descriptive and not prescriptive? That’s news to me because I was of the opinion that the future, having not happened yet and has such has never been observed, cannot be objectively described. This whole p

You’re of the opinion that the author does have a crystal ball and is objectively relating what can be known about the future(s)? And he’s doing so in such a careful manner that he’s painstakingly taken immense care to ensure that his mus

I interpreted the words “less… concern about COVID” as being serious. It’s entirely possible that those words were incorporated as some sort of joke or gesture though, I suppose

I’d suggest searching the terms “foreclosure” and “acquired immunity” in the text. If you find it to be up for interpretation, I’d love to see your take.

If my job were to be to subtract all traces of humanity from language about things that directly affect countless people, I’d consider that to be ghoulish even though I was receiving a paycheck. The idea that my pointing out that something

Advocating for an increase in foreclosures (increase the homeless population) and an increase in “acquired immunity” (read: let COVID run rampant and employ whoever survives) is incredibly ghoulish. It’s made even more shameful by its casua

I’d wager that a lot of people outside of think tanks have strong opinions about taxation. I’d even go so far as to suggest that if you were to ask some average Americans what they think about this topic, you’d see that a nontrivial amount

By “substance” I meant “ The most important part or idea of what is said or written; the essence or gist .” Additional graphs that support the presupposed conclusions are not some sort of contradiction.

How did this article from a blatant covid misinformation site (posted by an hours-old account) make it to the front page of HN? The entire substance of this article is taking a single graph from Twitter and establishing that masks do nothin

Can user behavior be controversial? Absolutely. An exploding battery is not, to my knowledge, “controversial” in that we’ve all agreed that fire is unwanted behavior. This is why I’ve found issue with your battery analogy. I do not believe

I can’t speak for the person you’re responding to, but I personally do find a large difference between the risk of fire/explosion and the visibility of an LED. Furthermore I do in fact think that the distinction is big enough to justif
