    wait so why did you reply to my comment instead of just to the original comment? Is there something wrong with me addressing inaccuracies in the portrayal of Schiff's role, even if…

    I don't see what it is in my comment that you disagree with. I was only pointing out that Schiff funded the Bolsheviks because of his political views that were related to bring an …

    That fact that you can't call it the Jewish lobby is exactly the squeamishness I'm referring to. The Jewish lobby are not at all shy about saying that they support Israel because t…

    Based on the wikipedia article it looks like Jacob Schiff funded the Russian Revolution because he was Jewish, and disliked the anti-Semitism of the Tzarist regime. As the article …

    Back then this makes sense, but today the Jewish lobby is as significant as the "military industrial complex". It's unfortunate that it's considered impolite to speak about the inf…

    The problem with the comparison is that the left also has blood on its hands. The self righteous zealotry of the progressive movement is as comparable to China's cultural revolutio…

    Both freshwater and saltwater would agree with the comment I replied to. freshwater and saltwater econ differ in their approach to macro models. Both sides broadly agree on general…

    It's hilarious that the one thing that is consistently down voted on hn is economic orthodoxy. This is absolutely no different to the anti vaccination movement. People are simply t…

    Isn't that exactly what the fake news sites works say?

    This is an interesting question, but don't forget to also ask "how much would they make if they weren't working for Uber?" Same goes for Walmart. If you've been to Walmart and Star…

    You are interpreting "all lives matter" to mean this. It could also mean that black people are not especially target by the police and that outrage at law enforcement is misplaced.…

    Sure, I will give an example. Most people on the left believe that black Americans commit more crime per capita then whites, and that this is due to various sociostructural phenome…

    I think the left tends to deal in half truths or highly questionable interpretations of facts passed off as facts, while the right deals more in outright lies. But the left has the…

    Yes there is. The actual tweet, verbatim was "will the 2nd amendment be as cool when i buy a gun and start shooting atrandom white people or no...[two eyes emoji]". Scroll down in …

    "othering" of nerds isn't restricted to liberals but it is especially hypocritical when they do it. Also liberals are predisposed to "other" nerds because they have chosen nerds to…

    What would be cool is using the windscreen for an AR display, with glasses for both head tracking and for stereoscopic display. I guess it would be expensive, probably too expensiv…

    After playing Holopoint for 30 minutes, I felt a sense of elation and heightened perception. I felt like I could type faster, and my reaction times were faster. It reminded me of L…

    A voting system for websites based on "liquid democracy"[0], where a pagerank like algorithm is used to let a person assign votes to others. The catch is this system would deliver …

    If we keep the same caps and introduce a minimum wage for H-1B visas, this would be a strict improvement. I don't know why this would even be controversial, it's basic economics. A…

    The problem is that liberals sneer at other people regardless of their actual qualifications or education. No on here has presented evidence that they are more educated or qualifie…
