I complete agree. My premise is that you can only remove two out of the four -- echo chamber, trolling, toxicity, community. If you accept this premise the only logical conclusion is to remove trolling and toxicity. Without community the po

So we've tried: - Real identities (Facebook comments) - Voting and self moderation (Reddit, HN, etc.) - Strong moderation (Reddit, HN) They all result in toxic comments, trolling, an echo chamber,or worse, a complete lack of participat

I won't mislead you by pretending to be an economist or expert, but you should look up the "business cycle". As the name implies these booms and busts happen pretty periodically. In the past it's been approximately every

Political tangents aside, it will be interesting to see how this race unfolds as the next recession winds up (which is inevitable, really). The seemingly limitless amount of capital, technological, human and otherwise has led to this arms r

Can someone explain to me how one can believe in property rights and also be against this? fwiw I think property rights should be drastically scaled back.

I am not making any claim. I just asked a question. Not everything is a debate, you know.

Generally things like "self disclosure", "trust" and "commitment" are things that are highly correlated with strong friendship quality. I loosely put all of those under the umbrella of vulnerability as self dis

What are some of these violations in your view that China should be called out on? EDIT: Removal of previous question since posters have interpreted it as trolling (though I assure you, it was not).

Loneliness might be the logical conclusion to a society going more and more towards metrics. Likes, dislikes, upvotes, downvotes. Dissenters are punished, perfection is idolized. Research is pretty conclusive that to have tight friendships

And why wouldn't they? It's time to bring back mechanisms, legal or otherwise, to prevent this from happening again. Usually the collective workforce of a company has significant leverage over a company, but with the advent of glo

I'm probably just out of touch, but what's with the obsession with dogs, anyhow? > I was so devastated by the loss of my dear Samantha, after 14 years together, that I just wanted to keep her with me in some way. It was easier

So if you wanted tech giants to have less power what exactly would you do? I suppose you could tell your representative, but then they'd have to somehow influence the senators of your state, but even if that happens you need a majori

> why do we constantly talk about getting more women in to tech but not men in to healthcare? Who is we? HN? If so, the answer to that is obvious. Your comparison needs more nuance, in my view. If health care had 100 people, 80 nurses (7

This is good, but is easily explained by the reflected percentages with various doctor specialties. What's the technology equivalent?

I'm sure NYC is doing quite well, but a New York based website is saying NYC is doing great without any context or even a reporting of the full list? You could write the same article about Boston, Denver, Austin, etc.

I don't understand -- you already are allowed to form an anonymous trust. That's not the issue.

I honestly don't see the issue. The only reason the lotto works is because people know you can win and it's not rigged, and the only way you can know that is by making the winners public. Finally, the only reason said lottery was

I'm not arguing anything. I'm just expressing an opinion that the comment you made is disingenuous since it's entirely centered around a claim around impossibility that no one made other than you. The original comment that sa

In regards to "organizational memory", has anyone had any luck not allowing for "private messages?" The idea being that the vast majority of conversations between any two people will be about a work item, if it's ab
