Would it be fair to summarize your position as "facts about the lives of people who are substantially different from us are difficult to obtain; therefore, we should defer to their personal experiences"? If not, could you correct

With the principle of charity in mind I'd interpret Red_Tarsius's comment as saying "$182,000 don't make for a life changing hustle under B's circumstances", not "$182,000 don't make for a life changi

I think your comment is symptomatic of the general disregard for genetics and its impact on the individual life that we have today. Obesity appears to be highly heritable. For this reason a careful balance must be struck between encouraging

Whether a basic income or even a basic job program is plausible under the current conditions in the US is very debatable (you can find yummyfajitas' criticism here on HN). What I had in mind with my final remark is more about the futu

I think the popular conceptualization of economic inequality (effectively, "inequality is suffering") is misleading because it doesn't take marginal utility into account. What I mean is, take the pizza-dividing example and s

Yes, working professionals are the core audience. Some of the topics that are discussed there like resumes and interviewing can be useful for students looking to be hired but not so much for those wondering what to major in. For students t

I am curious why you feel morally obligated to use OS X, React and Meteor. Your other comment mentions avoiding the GPL but I am unaware of GPL-licensed competitors to React or Meteor, so I assume it's a different reason than with Cla

by proveanegative 12y ago
The opposite question would be as, if not more, interesting: are there tools that you use or support out of a sense of moral obligation?

I agree that that is the most likely reason. I may have also overestimated how likely the alternative interpretations were from the tone of the announcement.

8K is unlikely to surface in consumer desktops and laptops within the duration of Microsoft's usual OS upgrade cycle. Does this imply Windows 10 will be supported for longer? I supposed it's either that or Microsoft finally inten

On the other hand, I wonder if this opens the door for more radical opinions on the opposite side. If those who deviate from the socially enforced norm expect (whether correctly or not) for their views to be condemned anyway the marginal

Isn't the relationship in the graph simply the result of how income inequality and social mobility are defined? The lower the income inequality the less you need to earn (relative to the baseline income) to move up the social ladder

Are you advocating the use of this kind of reasoning (generalizing from a subset to the whole set) as a general rule? I.e., "Given this study, do you think it is more reasonable a) to think this drug works for other diseases, or b) to

Is there a self-contained alternative to ElasticSearch specifically? If there was one written in Go or otherwise statically linkable that would be great from a deployment standpoint. I could deal with somewhat worse performance in exchang
