Are we now going to disregard anything that can't be properly defined in 10 words or less because otherwise it just sounds funny to "idiots off the streets"? I guess the two paragraphs on wikipedia are too elitist for…
"which they aren't" ... OK, you seem oddly confused about what's actually being discussed. Let me help: here's a passage from the paper itself "On one hand, some scholars argue that populism is inherently illiberal…
What if the choice of the majority of the people is anti-democratic? It would seem that that would make you anti-democratic while trying to be pro democracy.
So given the "consensus" that "genes have a significant influence on differences in human behaviour, interests, capabilities etc.", you're basically saying that a significant and spontaneous, yet undetected, mutation…
"[...] the Marxist intellectuals transitioned from class warfare to gender and race politics. The core oppressor-oppressed dynamics remained, but now the oppressor is the “white, straight, cis-gendered patriarchy." This…
Not sure I understand your point, in a zero-sum game the third party could still do some redistribution to keep the habitual loser "in the game" Update: scratch the above, you're right. But in my experience the ones…
Genuine question: I've never understood the non zero sum game idea in the context of economic inequality. If I win more than you lose, overall it's a non zero sum game, as in, our combined gaines are greater than before…
Haven't read the full paper but is seems to suggest that returns on capital investments are declining because of consolidations. Companies in dominant positions make huge profits(compared to the rest of the players),…
I believe this is the paper about the declining labor and capital shares mentioned in the article http://home.uchicago.edu/~barkai/doc/BarkaiDecliningLaborCap....
What about those who don't have funds to begin with, hence can't pay for adequate legal representation and have to take a plea bargain. Would you say those don't have basic human rights to begin with?
You are awesome for taking the time to explain. Thanks.
I would love this too
You're assuming "outside influence" is the same thing as "different views". For example, in information ops you only have to use sensemaking on a target (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensemaking) to feed little bits of…
I like to think of myself as technically minded. However, your stereotype of technically minded people seems to sugest that either I accept the "natural truth" of stereotype accuracy or forfeit my technically minded…

I can now reply to your comment here, so I will reply again :) You say that reality tends to punish irrational practices which means that some escape this punishment. Hence I will conclude that with time irrational…
I can't reply to your last comment below so I'll reply here. To me it seems that you are using some game theory ideas to explain how markets behave. The problem is that you forget to incorporate concepts from the…
You're just arguing that dumping can be fought with dumping and hence it's not rational for economic agents to engage in dumping. When did a rational argument stop the market from doing something?
Oh wow, I still find the level of effort the HN crowd puts into being helpfull, amazing. You sir rock!
That you very much, I'll look into those.
As someone intrested in the subject but with 0 insight or knowledge, would these algorithms be a good match for short text clustering? For example identifying identical products in a price comparison app based on their…

They're overcharging today compared to yesterday, so that tomorrow, on the day of the sale event, they can display a bigger discount. And all of that to "incentivize" (read trick) the buyer to spend his money. It has…
