Stigma... stigma... yeah, try using a flip phone... or anything other than an android or iphone smart phone XDXDXD

No buddy likes my webkit OS anymore

This is obvious tabloid-esque content from a non-tech source. I do not think this is good enough content to belong on hackernews

I liked Jon Stewart's take on the Wuhan Lab Theory https://yewtu.be/watch?v=sSfejgwbDQ8 watching that always cracks me up

I've seen this comment repeated about 4 or 5 times in the last 30 minutes. HN is not a place for vacuous and lame comments like these.

facebook, inc. is not just an amiercan issue. For years they have been nefariously bribing other countries to promote their website.

Take for example internet.org internet takeover attempt in India, or a better example, in Brazil facebook, inc. bribes local telcom providers to provide whatsapp access for free ( users are not charged data usage )

their agenda is clear. abuse and lie through their teeth, making as much money and power as possible.

facebook, inc. is a cancer on our global society.

Excellent analogy.

Almost hilariously the exact definition of a Logical Fallacy of a Loaded Question: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loaded_question

Ex. "When did you stop beating your wife?"

We need to educate more people against logical fallacies, and we need to educate and arm people with better critical thinking skills.

How apropos it is that hackernews has flagged this, I really hope that mods remove the flag here, this warrants debate and discussion.

in his first three years at Augusta Fells, he failed 22 classes and was late or absent 272 days

I recently graduated highschool, well I suppose recent is subjective, but I cannot imagine missing 272 days. You're not even remotely trying.

In all my experience using wikipedia it has been successful at providing facts and accurate references.

I don't mean to attack the speaker here, but that former cofounder of wikipedia you just cited... isn't he an extremist neo-conservative? Why did he leave wikipedia in the first place? What are his proposed solutions?

Science is the result of the scientific method.

Whether you agree with science is up to you, and you can voice your opinion on it because in US we have the bill of rights ( thank you, founding fathers... )

But voicing an opinion and labeling it science, without using the scientific method, that's ignorance.

Tell that to the Indian government, who straight put US webtech corporations in their place recently. By the way, what is Variety.com ? It's a name I recall hearing before, but what corporation owns Variety?

Edit: Looks like variety is owned by PMC https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variety_%28magazine%29

Well, I don't even want to touch the first part of this comment, there are smarter people than I that can put that logical fallacy to sleep.

Also, please don't be disingenuous, it is entirely feasible and reasonable to legally distinguish between a blog with 10 monthly visitors, and a corporation with 100 million monthly visitors.

Far be it for me to get sucked into politics, but I think the difference here can be explained that more evidence came out. It is only now becoming clear exactly how detrimental, and for how long the CCP has been obstructing investigations.

The more time that passes, the more clear it is that there is some obstructionism, and that makes the CCP look guilty.

I don't think either US political party said that no further scrutiny should be applied. Everyone wanted more investigation.

I also think that we should focus on the issue. If you want to make another issue about bias in the mainstream media, that's a much larger can of worms, and I definitely support that and agree with you.

Article is from 2017

This isn't a left vs right issue, it's a top vs bottom issue.

This is one of the biggest use cases for "crypto assets" that I can think of. Perhaps the only one, aside from ring of trust and public key distribution.

Monero or ethereum, both superior to bitcoin in every way.

Nuclear is superior no doubt, but it's asinine to dismiss solar power outright.

nano to name one

I am nonplussed, if the institution is effective and well managed, than I do not care about its size. Look at what the non-profit Bell Labs pumped out during the 1950's-1960's, all of it was non-profit and approved by a state-sponsored monopoly of ma bell. The intellectual achievements directly went into the US private sector to the great benefit of US citizens.

Precisely right, look at Bell Labs, look what came out of that! transistors, tcp/ip, satellites, cellphones just to name a few. thank god for bell labs and the state approved monopoly that allowed bell labs to fund science without profits, although it didn't hurt that they also gathered the brightest minds in the country at that time.

While I agree with this, I am confused why this was posted to hacker news without any technical stories.

I have to correct my original comment, it's actually the presence of the Y chromosome, and consequently the reaction of androgen receptors to testosterone in the womb that causes the physiological change on the male fetus. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Androgen_receptor#Effect_on_de...

This event early on in the embryo's development is tantamount to dividing males from females.

When a fetus is exposed to testosterone ( as males are ) their physiology is fundamentally and unalterably changed.

The question is rather, was significant bias found.

Specifically the denial of man made global climate change.

I am libertarian and conservative leaning, although, modern day "conservatives" are far from conservative in any sense of the word. For example, true conservatives advocated for abortion rights, because the government has no business regulating what a citizen can do to their body.

TLDR; I will never side with a party that insanely denies climate change.

IF it merges. That's a big "if" The ethereum Miners will rebel, "The Merge" will introduce catastrophic bugs, 0-days will appear.

However, if it does successfully transfer to proof of stake, we're in for a long and exciting ride.

Trust is a valuable commodity these days.

Kind of sad that we don't have a top or process viewer. Or free -m / open system. This makes me yearn for an open source OS on my phone again, I may have to look into a pine phone.
