About bargl

My opinion is the opinion I hold right now. Even the facts I believe I know, might be wrong. Correct me politely and I'll look it up and grow from our interaction.. As far as I can tell no one person knows everything, and I am no exception. However, if you are rude I'll try to get past it to see what you're saying, but in general, I'll just move on.

I will try to respect everyone I meet, as best I know how. Please let me know if I don't do so, I'll try to get better at it.

    Yeah this is the part I find hard to suss out. If they said we have people who are 104 and the next oldest is 150 holy shit. That's case closed, but the link you sent makes me susp…

    I think both upvoting and downvoting are... a poor form of signal on content, but maybe the best one we have. There can be some pretty good indicators that come out of the combinat…

    The metric I use in hn is votes to comments. When I want a good non controversial read I go for a low ratio of comments to votes. When I want a more controversial topic I find the …

    When I went overseas from the USA to another country I had to get vaccinated as well. It's required. That's different. I'm neither agreeing or disagreeing with either point here, I…

    Gah. I can't remember the book but it classifies the different levels of poverty. There were 4 levels. I'm going from memory but level 1 was what you describe. Level 2 is being abl…

    No one knows. That's not public information. It doesn't take into account that at 400 shorting GME became a much more appealing idea than even at 20/share. Everyone knew 400/share …

    That's a valid argument, but they showed a ton of revenue lately and shouldn't be valued at 2/share. I think the stock is between a 10/share and 30/share stock but I'm not a profes…

    This. The stock was at around 20/share before the spike and was considered a WIN at that. It's now sitting at 40/share and is probably priced high. It was shorted to below 2/share …

    I'd argue you could have said this in a more constructive way. If this were a sports game there would be yellow and red flags all over this incident. -No talking politics -No overu…

    Without jumping on the conspiracy bandwagon, I'd also like to see this applied to voting software. I know it's a hot topic, and I'm honestly not trying to get political. Software t…

    And yet, we're static in that most of our crash tests are done the same way they have for years. They haven't started testing cars crashing at 60+ miles per hour. So while these re…

    I switched careers 4 years after I graduated college. It wasn't as much a demotion and more of a lateral move, but it is never too late to change careers. That isn't to say there i…
