wait so why did you reply to my comment instead of just to the original comment? Is there something wrong with me addressing inaccuracies in the portrayal of Schiff's role, even if I don't address the aspects that…
I don't see what it is in my comment that you disagree with. I was only pointing out that Schiff funded the Bolsheviks because of his political views that were related to bring an American Jew. And there seems to be…
That fact that you can't call it the Jewish lobby is exactly the squeamishness I'm referring to. The Jewish lobby are not at all shy about saying that they support Israel because they are Jewish. There are of course…
Based on the wikipedia article it looks like Jacob Schiff funded the Russian Revolution because he was Jewish, and disliked the anti-Semitism of the Tzarist regime. As the article discusses, he funded the Japanese side…
Back then this makes sense, but today the Jewish lobby is as significant as the "military industrial complex". It's unfortunate that it's considered impolite to speak about the influence of Jews in US politics, unless…
The problem with the comparison is that the left also has blood on its hands. The self righteous zealotry of the progressive movement is as comparable to China's cultural revolution, as Trump's populist appeal to Whites…
Both freshwater and saltwater would agree with the comment I replied to. freshwater and saltwater econ differ in their approach to macro models. Both sides broadly agree on general equilibrium theory as kind of first…
It's hilarious that the one thing that is consistently down voted on hn is economic orthodoxy. This is absolutely no different to the anti vaccination movement. People are simply too lazy and arrogant to listen to what…
Isn't that exactly what the fake news sites works say?
This is an interesting question, but don't forget to also ask "how much would they make if they weren't working for Uber?" Same goes for Walmart. If you've been to Walmart and Starbucks it's pretty clear that most…
You are interpreting "all lives matter" to mean this. It could also mean that black people are not especially target by the police and that outrage at law enforcement is misplaced. For example we know that the rates of…
I think the left tends to deal in half truths or highly questionable interpretations of facts passed off as facts, while the right deals more in outright lies. But the left has the ability to get you fired if you…
"othering" of nerds isn't restricted to liberals but it is especially hypocritical when they do it. Also liberals are predisposed to "other" nerds because they have chosen nerds to be the symbol of unaware privilege and…
A HUD would probably be almost as good as AR in terms of safety, just not nearly as cool.
What would be cool is using the windscreen for an AR display, with glasses for both head tracking and for stereoscopic display. I guess it would be expensive, probably too expensive for Uber drivers. Maybe it could…
After playing Holopoint for 30 minutes, I felt a sense of elation and heightened perception. I felt like I could type faster, and my reaction times were faster. It reminded me of Lawnmower Man. I didn't get this effect…
>If you want to make something cool, don’t give it to geeks first. Does anyone else get really tired of stuff like this? Why is it that every possible difference is celebrated except within liberal circles, with the…
A voting system for websites based on "liquid democracy"[0], where a pagerank like algorithm is used to let a person assign votes to others. The catch is this system would deliver personalized scores so each person sees…
If we keep the same caps and introduce a minimum wage for H-1B visas, this would be a strict improvement. I don't know why this would even be controversial, it's basic economics. All developed countries prefer higher…
The problem is that liberals sneer at other people regardless of their actual qualifications or education. No on here has presented evidence that they are more educated or qualified than Trump, and yet they are taking…
Ok I'm starting to see this. I guess a good example is how he acted towards Jeb especially in the primary debates. I still think that responding to Trump's verbal style with physical violence is wrong.
I meant "per capita". I'm wondering if you are really being fair in interpreting my comment the way you did. E.g. a progressive article uses the exact same language[0]: It is also common to hear the supposedly neutral…
Everyone needs to break out of their own bubble to some extent, though other equally misinformed people may not be the best source. My advice is to read the most informed, reasonable representatives of different…
This site seems to be broken, I get matched but most messages don't post. In the meantime the best way to have a discussion with Trump supporters is not to vote them to negative infinity on HN :-)
"The social bullying coming from Clinton’s supporters guaranteed that lots of Trump supporters were in hiding. That created the potential for a surprise result, so long as the race was close." This contradicts the…
