The article makes the assumption that AWS will be reliable "because amazon runs on AWS". This has also been put forward by Amazon as a fact in their marketing materials. However, i…

How about just getting rid of downvotes? I see very little spam on HN, but I see a lot of thoughtful posts that swing widely as people upvote them an then they get power-downvoted …

This is Dvorak, of course, but still it seems wrong to me to buy a company just to get employees. If they made a viable business, then maybe it is worth integrating that business a…

You still don't seem to get it. You may have calmed down but you don't sound like you think you've done anything wrong. It sure sounds like your employer demanded that you stop emb…

How is it not ethical to use the results of your own labor for your own benefit? To presume that our labor (whether you think the quality is "crap" or not) belongs to other people …

The unconstitutionality of airport searches is not in question. The constitution does not have an "administrative search" exception. I understand that you're talking about the ruli…

You're being snide, but you're actually correct. Governments have spent billions upon billions to rationalize this political movement. Energy companies are not the only ones under …

Yes, when you model the past, that makes sense. What AGW proponents use are models to project the future. But they are inconsistent with the data of the past. They don't fit it. Th…

You link to a place where you confused me with someone else, as justification for making personal attacks? See also: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1867917 So, you refuse to r…

First off, you've confused me with codefisher. Codefisher made his point by providing a link to support his argument, which you said couldn't be done because you said there was no …

The projections are based completely on the temperature record, and changing the temperature record would produce different projections. The projections are essentially fudged to g…

This is another form of insult. You lie about what I have said in order to characterize me in a negative way. Ad hominem. Reality is, I have responded to your "Arguments" such that…

I sure wish you would actually respond to the arguments, maybe make salient points. Instead of simply snidely characterizing everyone who doesn't agree with your ideology. Also: It…

You're saying that the only way to debate you is to go to some blog, do a bunch of research, construct arguments against that blog post, and then post them here? Must be nice to no…

Aw, gee, a snotty insult with no actual substantive response. Stay classy, hacker news! Sure, the snotty insult gets upvoted and the response pointing out that it is not useful or …

I never used the word moron. It takes a lot of gall to use the insult you used against someone else and attempt to tar me with it. Your lack of class is why having a reasonable dis…

You are expressing your bigotry towards me. When I disagree, I actually disagree, and it is this disagreement that you are responding to. You can't downvote a response you disagree…

I think that you are sincere and so I suggest you re-read the first paragraph of your response for the answer to your question. On one hand, you linked to a blog that links to "ple…

If the planet were actually getting warmer, as CO2 goes up, over the last decade, that would go a long way towards making your theory worth listening to. You did not provide any ev…

Zeolots spamming random paper citations that they've never read to people whose arguments they've never read is not supporting science. It is actually, attempting to stifle science…

You are being anti-science because you don't know or understand the science, you're just giving them citations that are completely irrelevant to the question at hand. This has been…

Linking to a blog written by scientifically ignorant proponetns of a religion who make inaccurate in dishonest links to random scientific papers is not making an argument. Just lik…

Don't let the term "fossil fuel" confuse you. In the early days of drilling they found fossils in the oil that came up, and this led to the common hypothesis. But people don't real…

It is a myth. It is an ideology that rejects science. And the proof that hacker news is full of ignorant college students who choose ideology over science (and capitalism, for that…

Actually all of them are because it is just linking to random papers without any understanding of context-- it can't have understanding because it is a bot. This is actually a very…
