- givan 14y agoThis will become the hacker news law. On any submission with a headline ending with a question mark somebody will point out the stupid betteridge law.
- waterlesscloud 14y agoI downvote any comment that does nothing other than cite the stupid thing. I encourage others to do the same.
- ralfd 14y agoSadly, I don't know what else to discuss about this article.
- stfu 14y agoI'd suggest creating a more original hacker news law. I'm sure some of us are willing to work it into their TedX presentations, and whoop de doo we have our own annoying reference.
- guylhem 14y agoThen what if the story was submitted under the title "Is there anything that may stop solar power exponential growth from reaching 100% of our needs in 20 years?" If you think that the answer is still 'no' while it completely reverse the conclusion, maybe this law isn't a "law" in the scientific sense - not even a theory, and shouldn't be cited (karma whoring?) any further on HN?
