Have you worked in a large unionized organization? I've worked in both. Unions are worse.

My anti-union sentiment arrived from my experience working with a large established union in an industrial plant. The union protected some of the worst, laziest, most unsafe workers I had ever witnessed in any job before or sense. It blew m

This sounds like paradise. Maybe Starlink isn't such a good idea after all.

They absolutely still have the mob and strategic use of violence. The mob is social media, wielded by corporate media. Strategic use of violence didn't end last summer. See: Salem, OR. It will erupt again if powers that be deem it bene

I know someone who runs an Amazon last-mile delivery service. He bought the vans. He employs the drivers. Doesn't sound like the same thing as what FedEx was doing.

Did you know officials sent a warning in 2018 about the Wuhan Institute of Virology warning that their experiments were dangerous and the facility was run poorly, risking a new Sars-like pandemic? https://www.bbc.com/news&#x

I think skepticism of the source's authoritativeness on the subject of information-filtering is perfectly relevant to TFA. But you are free to disagree and downvote if you want to punish me further.

Nature retracted a peer-reviewed paper last November after pressure from those with a particular political/ideological bent. You can read the details here and decide for yourself if their reasoning is valid for the retraction. Did not

Isn't every NDA basically the same? What makes theirs especially "airtight"?

This kind of thinking is so common I often wonder how the hell we manage to progress as a species. People seem to only ever look at the evidence that supports positions they originally adopted for bad reasons. I can't remember the last

Better solar science is another thing that can be done. Investing in better ways of forecasting problematic solar events. We do some of that today but much is in its infancy.

I don't think a source-less opinion from an anonymous internet commenter (even if it's on Hacker News) is a proper rebuttal of a rebuttal, great or otherwise. Sources are what count. She shares many.

There was a much better (based on more rigorous studies) anti-vitamin piece back in 2014 that made the internet rounds and I think Dr. Rhonda Patrick had a great rebuttal of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0u8UdZeOhc&am

+1 to Hume. He described causality as being a glorified expectation which is subject to change at any time.

Is "life only appeared once on earth" an accepted fact at this point? There was clearly at least one occurrence that led to a subsequent successful reproductive pattern from which we evolved, but prior to that, or alongside that,

Fascinating. Do you think things would've turned out differently for you and your brother had you attended public school? Private? I went to a truly terrible rural public school and I see many areas where that has held me back. Success

There are several examples under "Commentary" section on the Wikipedia article. This isn't hard, I don't see how you can dig your heels in on this. You really CANNOT fathom how someone would be against strict speech laws

Your comment is strange... 1. ephimetheus: The only people who have a problem with these laws are bad people with evil intent 2. me: I just looked and there are a lot of people voicing problems with these laws who are good and have noble in

A cursory search reveals your characterization to be inaccurate. Note: I had no real interest in this topic until I read your critique which just sounded totally outlandish to me. The ONLY people complaining about this limitation are people

There are... many alternatives? CircleCI, BuildKite, Travis, GitLab, GitHub Actions, Harness, and many more. Has been the case for years. Microtica is a little late to the party methinks.

No no, those were all victims of circumstance. Western cultures are uniquely capable of moral reasoning and are therefore more culpable than everyone else. I think that's what pop culture is telling me...
