PoC with large lips exist, presumably PoC using bones as ornaments also exist or used to exist. The story of Asterix takes place 2000 years ago.

Asterix the Gaul contains some of my favorite scenes.

There still has to be some kind of formula to tie all measurements together, and I doubt it is simply a mean. Afaik it is possible that sea levels fall in some places and rise in o…

I have no issue believing you can measure sea levels at certain places. The question is, how do you mix all those measurements together to determine a global sea level number? Afai…

And how is sea level defined - the average over the year? So more ice has melted than usually? Even then, it seems normal that not the same amount of ice would melt every year?

Is it even solid science to measure sea levels over 2 months? How do you measure "sea level"? It seems normal that ice melts as summer comes around. So there would be fluctuations …

People lose business and need cash to get through the crisis.

And how does that supposedly work? Why do shareholders go along with it? And what is stopping people from creating businesses that don't do that? It sounds much like a conspiracy t…

That's obvious bullshit, given that most modern businesses provide actual value to people. Like an airline: people can hop on planes and go to places, to do business or meet people…

If people pick companies to do filtering for them, it is their choice. GMail is causing some problems. In general, most people opt to have suspicious mail sorted into a Spam folder…

I've been on HN for 13 years, I just don't care for the voting system.

Right in the first article it says "they are still unraveling whether large numbers of computer-generated tweets can really sway policies or elections—and how such influence might …

Yeah, I am actually an Arabian oil prince with 60% stakes in Twitter shares.

Such as??? Please point to the evidence, I am genuinely interested.

It's insane to demand somebody should be given the authority to determine what is disinformation and what is not. That is a totalitarian approach. Those few Twitter bots don't hurt…

Many people use fake avatars, names and locations. Those are not good indicators for bots. Presumably it is more obvious by the stuff being posted. However, the whole question is m…

Which ones can you recall? If you can "recall" them, why do you still do business with them? Don't know about the US, but I think most people there shop at Walmart or Costco. Seems…

That's nonsense. Businesses offering bad products go out of business. Can't say the same for state owned industries. Of course it is also up to you. You can always choose to buy fr…

They get what they pay for. And here in my capitalist country, "good" honey seems to be selling just fine.

Yes, it is a good thing that competition also operates on "being good". You can't be arbitrarily "good" to your employees, though. You have to improve your business to be able to a…
