You do it. You're the one making the claim. I've been on HN like 8 years and I'm wondering what you mean too.
What the hell is going on here? Why are you being downvoted for politely asking for clarification?
The problem is obvious and needs no explanation. The post in question extrapolates that all women are gold diggers from a single study that purports to have found manipulative behavior in a few groups of monkeys.
Plus a nice API. I'm curious what OP means by Namecheap becoming more like GoDaddy? I haven't noticed that really.
> Those individuals did not believe what they wrote. How do you know that?
> There are plenty of single men that should not be forced to pay for women's reproductive healthcare. I have to say this attitude makes me viscerally angry. Men have a much higher incidence of heart disease, so maybe…
I registered http://www.4ppl3.com a while back. No potential for abuse really, but I just thought it was fun to have a l33t-speak version of the domain name of one of the world's most litigious companies. That said, I…
To take a more recent example, when Chris Cuomo stated recently on CNN that it's illegal to view the Wikileaks Podesta emails, should something like that be censored if it's posted to Facebook? It's plainly false, and…
I tend to agree with you. I'm looking at the NYT archives right now and finding examples both of uncritical quoting of official sources and straight up assertions about WMDs in Iraq. This is a famous quote from Judith…
So, I am not at all an expert in finance, but there are claims (from Jill Stein for example) that the real cost of the bailout was much, much higher. Here's a Mother Jones article that takes this position:…
> People don't speed around mountain passes on snowy nights. I don't follow. Driving on a snowy mountain road is still incredibly dangerous though, even after I've adapted my behavior.
Obama mentioned that he wants an internet "curating function" for determining truthful information. Watch about 5 minutes of this talk starting at 58:00 to get the full context:…
It is bizarre. GP is, as you said, "either grossly misinformed or purposefully misleading readers". There is plainly illegal activity in those emails, and massive evidence of electoral fraud. But whatever, it was the…
The guy you're laughing at is about 65 years old. I know nothing about Dennis Cooper, but people of that age are sometimes just not tech savvy. And based on what I've seen of his response to the situation, he never…
> I like to believe that there's a lot of savvy and affluent couples out there who are buying either moissanites instead of diamonds and choosing not to tell their friends or family about it to avoid the social stigma.…
One of the most disturbing stories that I don't hear mentioned is of Sean Baker, who was working undercover for the USAF as part of an attempt to gauge the abuses at Guantanamo. Baker was beaten by the guards so badly…
Have you worked in education? By self-directed, I don't mean let the kids roam the streets. For example the teacher and student would decide on a project individually or in a small group, then pick any resources the…
I agree completely. I did reread GP's post later and notice he probably didn't imply what I thought he did. There are few things more vital than education, and that will pay back to society at a higher rate, so by all…
I said already that I've worked for a year in a school! I worked full-time as a reading tutor in an elementary school, and taught summer school. I've also taught abroad, classrooms with 30+ students. I taught tennis to…
The Ars article discusses Playpen / Operation Pacifier in the first sentence. But you're saying that these 23 other sites only displayed an error message and distributed malware? Ok, but still, the FBI did in at least…
Source? This Reason article says differently: "Operation Pacifier is reminiscent of reverse drug stings in which cops pose as dealers to catch retail buyers, except that in this case the FBI actually disseminated…
Here's mine... The FBI discovers a child prostitution ring and infiltrates it, but keeps running it and forces the children to have sex for a month to ensnare more customers. If one accepts the idea of re-victimization,…
What does SJW mean to you? Just someone who cares about social issues, or someone who only pretends to care for self-serving purposes? Or something else? I really dislike that term, but maybe I'm misunderstanding what…
You're right about those first drafts, my mistake. That Clinton campaign strategy documents comes from, apparently, the Guccifer 2.0 hacks. Glenn Greenwald and Lee Fang contacted Nick Merrill to confirm the document's…
