False equivalence. People stop working during retirement because it is the very cultural expectation to not work. There is no reason to believe this analogy you're attempting to make would transfer to something like a negative tax rate

At what point in the rise of Hitler do you think people stopped posting anonymous criticism about Hitler? Because I'm going to bet never.

In my opinion we need to elevate doctors and invest heavily into more nurse practitioners and the like. I don't think you need to see a doctor all the time, for procedures or surgery yes, or if you need someone to actually investigate

Once again, I think your analysis is an oversimplification. (Also, staring with "once again" is so condescending it makes my skin crawl)

Sure, sure, except for this minor issue that the argument I was responding to didn't mention revenue, they talked about the state of the internet. So why again are you responding to my counter with a straw man?

It definitely tripped my "self-important bullshit author" detector, which doesn't happen to be a very useful heuristic since it requires me to read the whole article. But anyway, the examples used are not in any way like anot

I have a very simple counter argument: I've tried it and it's not useful. Maybe it is useful for you. Maybe even the things you're using it for are not trivial or better served by a different tool. That's fine, I don&#x2

It might be natural to jump to immediately think the majority was cheating, but as you rightly point out if they were cheating Magnus would have lost. Human players cannot compete with even a couple hours compute on stockfish let alone 24 h

I'm genuinely curious as I'm starting to believe HN as a whole entertains anti-vaccine conspiracy theories. Do you believe any of these statements? 1. Vaccines cause autism 2. Vaccines are not safe and effective (or that this stat

Why did you deliberately leave out the whole quote? "When polls said only about half of all Americans would take a vaccine, I was saying herd immunity would take 70 to 75 percent ... Then, when newer surveys said 60 percent or more wou

Have you ever applied for a grant? Do you understand how science in the USA is funded? How it is unique? Will the rest of the world absorb the scientists in the US? Probably not, that is honestly their mistake and missed opportunity, but al

This heavily trips the crackpot index: 1. Zero understanding about the philosophy of mathematics 2. Asking the public and AI models for peer review instead of the scientific community via publication at a physics conference 3. Association w

This is not a knee jerk mention of Nazis, it is a well known fact that after world war II the US changed strategy to invest in research and pull the best talent from around the world. That was in part motivated by German scientists fleeing

That was a long-winded way of not saying anything of substance. Tautologically all business (big versus big included) are fundamentally different, and hence have different strengths and weaknesses. Hence, it is not a priori true that the

There are so many things wrong with your comment, lets list a few: 1. False equivalence: Elon Musk's interaction with the federal government is unprecedented and comparing it to lobbying of companies is hysterically bad faith. 2. Appea

I said it was an evil action, I didn't call them evil. This is the standard essentialism fallacy of morality. Doing an evil thing does not make your inherently evil. Holding slaves in 1800s is evil, but I don't think the people ar

In my friend group it's clear as day: either you voted to kill and deport other people in the friend group or you didn't. Pretty obvious the group would like to know if you're secretly interested in their demise.

Trump will try a dictator power grab. This isn't even questionable seeing as he already tried to do this. The only question at this point is if everyone else in power goes along with it or they scoff like they did last time. Seeing a

Your horribly simplistic take has already received a lot of backlash, but whatever I'm angry enough to add onto the pile: 1. Big tech companies doing layoffs are not hurting on revenue, so your basic assumption is wrong. 2. "Cutti
