Every social media platform is manipulated by it's owners and elites. There's no way to get around it, not when your KPIs are user engagement and advertising dollars. Twitter has b…

This is the only comment you made so far that made sense, with clear assertions and references. Everything else was unfounded or inflammatory without any concrete assertion, which …

It seems likely that theoretical work would still be done on battleships, after we stopped using them in the real world.

Fraud sucks and is ever evolving. Everyone gets hit in increasingly elaborate scams, and companies with degrading services makes it easier. Some things I'm surprised weren't in the…

This fits what I've read. Data driven decision making is the way to go, but good data is hard to come by in these fields. We have no baseline for many parts of physical health, let…

Not a big fan of Heidt. Way too much political, unsubstantiated and handwavy rhetoric from him. And his track record has been entirely unconvincing. The only reasonable way I can i…

I think the answer is that ECS isn't supposed to solve those problems directly. It's just a framework that makes a certain class of problems very easy to solve. But big picture com…

A corrupt Spanish organization, trying to support a corrupt Korean organization, only brings more credence to the argument that SPNP was a bad idea.

I'm not really into Twitter, so I'm guessing there's some drama you are referencing that is topical. But, I'm not talking about any society wide issue or philosophical treatise abo…

I'm not sure if confabulate is exactly what LLMs do (though it seems closer than the implications of hallucinate). But neurotypical, neurodiverse, perfectly functional people, etc.…

Music from the hit 1993 video game Doom. The first level's theme. In case you weren't joking. It was quite the popular game.

It's trivial that nice communities exist on Facebook. Positive, engaged people build good communities, regardless of platform or technology. The same distributions of haves and hav…

The only reason why this travesty persists is because Putin still holds the world hostage with Russia's nuclear arsenal. The only future for the world lies in cooperation, peace, a…

10% is a token number for argument's sake, not any rate based on reality

Love the final explanation for how ivermectin can be incidentally good for COVID-19 patients, even if it does nothing to COVID-19 directly. In fact, as the author cites from anothe…

Going over the background of who did the study, the abstract, and their assertions, it appears they've made the classic mistake of correlation = causation. Nothing in their study s…

Freedom of Association: An individual's right to join or leave groups voluntarily, the right of the group to take collective action to pursue the interests of its members, and the …

The original report only analyzes successful exonerations. There are many times more cases out there of false convictions, victims who have not seen the light of day. Those without…

"Plagiarism detection software" can most certainly be misused and abused - it's quite a slippery slope, difficult to administer fairly, and likely to create unwarranted chilling ef…

To reply to the actual content of the paper: Understanding the factors behind video gaming as a problematic behavior separate from addiction is quite useful. Oftentimes, video game…

The title of this submission should be changed to reflect the content of the paper - it neither talks about gaming in general, nor does it imply that video game achievement is fals…

Seems like red hearing - why are we ignoring the criminal prosecution system whenever such crimes happen? Relying on civil cases to resolve crimes against the people is step backwa…

Does that not suggest that CEOs are worth their cost to the vast majority of companies that retain them? What companies operate without a de facto CEO?

Maybe OP meant to be... ironical. If we're being that charitable.

Not just basically - it is a hit piece. It's a website run by and for advertisers, publishers, and media, aiming to monetize content as much as possible. They are supported by adve…
