Good post. A lot of people see platforms like Twitter as inherently terrible, but if you follow the right people, Twitter can be a very good platform to learn new things and talk to interesting and smart people on. You just have to carefull

No. Leading a completely utilitarian life based only on the metric of estimating the emissions produced by your actions (and then, only first-order effects) is not only completely infeasible, but is also not a solution to global warming.

These are all very common tricks that are often used by even the highest-profile publications. It might not have much to do with anti-UBI sentiment rather than just for-profit/click motivations, but I cannot personally know either way.

The solution to this is not "regulate Amazon's facial recognition". It's just "regulate all facial recognition". While that's obviously challenging, targeting Amazon specifically doesn't actually impr

What can one expect Apple to do, disallow apps that do extensive tracking, causing their users to not be able to use any social media whatsoever? They don't have any feasible option in that space. It is nice that they do something rath

I said 'near-complete' in attempt to include edge cases. Most parents definitely make their own decisions as to what to feed their kids rather than letting the government make them, just as they decide what to teach their kids.

While protecting the kids would be nice, it results in a large inconsistency to apply it here, given the level of control we allow parents to have over their kids in many areas. For example, parents have near-complete jurisdiction over the

Is there a good reason to put minors in a separate group here, aside from legal aspects or that it just 'feels' like a worse offense to the casual reader? I ask because a lot of common arguments in this area don't seem to app

HN moderators are actually pretty active, but usually maintain a low profile compared to how things appear on other websites, so it can be harder to notice the work that they do.

This post is more reasonable for smaller curated communities, but as we can see from, well, every large social website that exists currently, it can be difficult to scale. I'm curious what the other thinks the solution would be to an o

At least in the first instance it looks like there's a minor overestimation, but it depends on what you're looking at. Quoting my comment from previous submission: The general effect still exists, yes. It's just reported on p

They meant that it is a good blog post (likely - not specifically stated), but that when posted on HN, will likely inspire bad comments. I interpreted your comment as conflating the concepts 'post' and 'submission' - the

Parent comment specifically states "I'm not saying the post is bad", yet you say "Saying it's a bad post because" in your response. It would be better to read their comment in full to attempt to better understa

Strongly disagree. The title and article constantly refer to higher self-expectations as "an exaggerated belief that they are better than others", with the first sentence of the page stating "Overconfidence can be misinterpre

I view the above article as trying to convey to readers that there was no positive correlation between social class and actual rank, when in fact there was, which they attempt to mislead readers about to the greatest extent that they can wi

The general effect still exists, yes. It's just reported on poorly in this instance. The 'relative overplacement' in the first table (the extent that participants over-estimated their own performance) is a correlation of 0.04

A large issue I see with this is that of moderation. Discord, Slack, Reddit, and so on, all have appointed moderators for every community that keep users in-check according to community standards. With this idea, there are no 'owners&#
