Yeah, it's tiresome and unfunny. Yes, things have bugs and design flaws. No, your painfully unoriginal caterwauling about how much you're pretend it vexes you does not make you int…

The problem with this corporatist neoleftist thinking is that "the west" are the victims too. Thousands and thousands of people in "the west" were killed or horribly damaged by the…

Horrible victim blaming. Only under neoleftism could addicted victims of these violent destructive drug pushing cartels be considered to be supporters of the cartels, and not the c…

Have you ever stopped to wonder whether you have been similarly goaded into believing your neighborhood is flush with nazis and white supremacists?

I don't know how you're defining simplicity but the integer promotion rules are not complex at all, I would call them very simple. The problem with them is not the complexity, it's…

> But Sanders has been far more forthright in his opposition to the super-wealthy, categorically stating, “billionaires should not exist.” I have to laugh at this hateful hypocrite…

These are semantics, the concept of zero is still obviously everywhere in nature. "How many fish have you caught?" "None." Just because you reply none doesn't make it some wildly d…

It was always credible. The title should read, "How the neoliberal corporatists decided their propaganda machines should change their position on the issue"?

Just 4% of India's workforce is white collar? Incredible statistic when you think of all the skilled professionals from that country. This globalist neocolonialial hell sure has a …

It is possible that it is bad intentions. If the consequences of peoples' actions are externalized, if they are relieved of any responsibility to provide for themselves, and if the…

I can't keep up, is Fauci still a high priest of the grotesque cult of corporate leftism, or has he fallen from grace? Before making a comment on the topic I need to know if he is …

The communist party has conspired to cover up worse, genocides perpetuated by their dictatorship for example. The people who claim it's an outlandish suggestion they might have cov…

> Given the state of factory farming and our understanding of neurobiology, moral catastrophe is a perfectly reasonable assertion. No I don't think it is reasonable at all. > Anima…

I reject the flimsy assertion that eating beef or chicken is a "moral catastrophe" or even bad at all.

Stirring up outrage mobs to get what one wants is even more problematic.

Idolizing "the experts" leads to this. Certain types of people are treated as beyond criticism, and anyone suspecting they might be subject to the human condition is a heretic and …

Well said. HN likes to think of itself as a paragon of virtue and goodness, but it's a thinly layered veneer on top of a lot of bullying, nastiness, envy, and hate and fear of the …

You appear to be becoming unhinged and are making things up.

Not sure if you're editing your comment or I didn't read it entirely before. And your last sentence is not some kind of proof of your belief. Without a dirty cheap producer then a …

I could well be wrong, sorry I should not have tried to make such a strong statement I don't actually have much knowledge of recent technology nodes. In your first link I'm struggl…

Of course it does. Not much US oil usage, of course, because US uses oil extracted domestically. And most of China's carbon emissions come from burning coal not oil, and almost all…

> Does this account for the goods exported from China to the US? These should be added to the emissions caused by the US. No they shouldn't, China sells products in the global mark…

> I'm not a fan of China's actions but your post is both mis-informative and ironic given that every one of your points apply to the U.S. at various points in time. It is neither m…

In this particular case I don't think the market is all that complex. People were valuing bitcoin on the assumption that other people would keep buying it at higher prices before t…
