I expected all of those downvotes, honestly.

I expected that downvote too. On Hacker News you have to pander to get points, but then you can spend them by saying interesting stuff.

Wow a downvote in less time than the linked video takes to watch... I am shocked by this. Just kidding I expected this. BTW if you don't like "mansplaining" you'll probably like th…

"As the people had no idea of germ theory, it is impossible to claim this was intentional."

But not a disgusting remark like when you stated that 'the "genocide" of native Americans was a result of European diseases, not barbarism' in another thread and argued that eviden…

I just provided the historical evidence. It was written in the past tense. Do you think he fictionalized his account so that hundreds of years later you'd have a stronger argument …

Ah, you seem to be a bit nutters. So I'm not going to engage further but I do want to give you a serious response to the argument you seem to be making. First, the same argument ab…

I suppose this is sarcasm but the results are quite intuitive to me. From my perspective, it's trivial to construct the truth tables for trivalent logic based on a sense of what "s…

Unknowns are not even remotely problematic for logic. Not only SQL, but illustrious languages such as VB6, include built-in trivalent logic.

Do you really need this spelled out, like for real? Your statement that the genocide was not due to overt actions by Europeans is false. Accidentally wiping out 90% of a population…

Well that's an oversimplification. Diseases wiped out 90% before they ever saw a soldier. BUT... 'Instead, when the Indians were ready to leave, Trent wrote: "Out of our regard for…

They also banned Christmas, and most sports.

TOML is supposed to be easy to parse.

Reminds me of the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berry_paradox

Except there is no evidence he said that, is there? Wikiquote lists it as "suspect".

If you are basing this on the idea that something that can store a graph is a graph database, I'm not sure that definition really holds up. It has been argued -- for example by Neo…

This one https://steemit.com/ is interesting... would be more interesting if the percentage of non-cryptocurrency-related articles were higher.

There are numerous studies showing positive effects of seltzer, and a few suggesting negative effects. But in what world can we compare this to diet soda?

>> What's more unclear is whether the sugar-like taste of artificial sweeteners affect the body's blood sugar regulation. How is this unclear... every study I've seen shows that ar…

Sigh, the flatearthers are going to love this one.

I'm sorry, but describing the diet that scientists literally describe as "obligate" for cats as somehow being forced on them requires mental gymnastics I can't quite comprehend.

It depends on what you mean by toxic, but most healthy animal foods contain basically zero antinutrients or toxins. (There may be a small amount environmental toxins.) Thus animals…
