Several inaccurate details just in the first couple of paragraphs: conflating remakes with preservation, citing a localization change as an "original" subtitle, and crediting Nintendo for third-party productions. I realize video g

Are they being taken less seriously when they have serious health issues, statistically? I'd like to see some data on outcomes, life expectancy is the best datapoint I've got and men are clearly disadvantaged there. If women are m

I have a hard time taking self reports seriously particularly because identity politics are in vogue and that means a lot of people are eager to portray themselves as oppressed characters. I've spent time in clinics, hospitals, and ICU

You have a point but need to drop the identity politics bullshit. Since when are women "underserved"? Men are far more likely to "tough it out" i.e. refuse to see a doctor when they have symptoms of illness, so by your l

Of course, I prefer walkable environments as well in the right conditions, but the headline implies that they are strictly superior, which isn't true when your society is low-trust and anti-social, and most walkable US city neighborhoo

Living in New York City, the most walkable city in the US I believe, was the unhappiest I've been in my life, and I know plenty of others who feel the same way. So, there's that.

You'd think that piles of concrete evidence would end the denialism, but it seems that people aligned with those politics don't consider stories like the Twitter Files to be real oddly enough. I'm not sure if it's becau

Given the very loose definition of racism and xenophobia these days, you may be right, but in the same sense that you can call a woman sexist for not wanting to be followed by a man when walking alone at night. Calling her a sexist repeated

I agree, but I don't think there's any harm in being honest about in this case, since it's pretty on-brand for their public persona. It just seems like a weird hang-up, which ironically fuels the rumor mill. "Hey, isn&#x

Doxing is an exaggeration of what it is. They have a very public online presence in the first place and made it pretty obvious, and they self-promote. It's just putting 2 and 2 together. The "block" on HN seems to have more t

It's a bit shocking to see such denial on HN of all places. I imagine that evidence will keep mounting in the coming years, but by then the damage will already be done. Widespread autoimmune diseases and allergies, poor social and prob

That's the point. We have reliability engineers and QA, but I don't find that they actually prevent or resolve outages. I guess it's funny to poke fun at every outage after the mass layoffs, but in reality I doubt things woul

If there was some disingenuous ragebait article every time someone broke something in production at my company we'd be in the news every week. And that's with plenty of reliability engineers and QA.

I don't know why you're implying that laymen are beneath discussing/speculating on scientific research, since during COVID plenty of bullshit was spread by the supposed experts too, which is what fueled distrust in the first

Swap the politics and it looks exactly the same. Solely based on your comment anyway, I don't know either character. You should be aware of your own bias. It is disturbing to see Western "liberals" justify persecuting their p

My #1 reason for working remotely today has nothing to do with office layouts or benefits, it's that housing costs in large-city tech hubs are insane. Chances are I'd pay at least twice my mortgage in rent for a crappy apartment i

I thought you were replying in good faith until the last paragraph, too bad. Legitimate climate scientists (who aren't just hopping on the bandwagon) will echo my sentiment, perhaps with less hyperbolic language although I don't b

One doesn't have to fundamentally disagree with the existence of an issue like climate change in order to notice it warping into mass hysteria. Having lived through several such episodes I've given up convincing people that it is,

I can relate to that. I moved out of a big city to the suburbs of a smaller one. Monthly expenses are roughly flat, but I own a house instead of pinching pennies in a small filthy apartment. I'd much rather work in person, but it doesn
