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.

Or could the females just be tending to wounds suffered by the most aggressive monkeys?

And yet I bet not too many women interact with you.

What the hell is going on here? Why are you being downvoted for politely asking for clarification?

by 75j 10y ago
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 .

Wow, I saw that this morning. I really wonder what effect it will have. For now the discussion will move to r/conspiracy, and possibly voat.co. Will they ban r/conspiracy too? I'll delete my reddit account instantly and never

What did you find difficult about Python 3? I switched around 3.1, though granted I was still a novice programmer then and didn't have to port any legacy code. I had so many issues with Unicode in Python 2 (some may have been my own ig

Yes, it's a sad time to be an American. For those that don't know, Trump has been sued over allegations of raping a 13 year old girl who worked for Epstein. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/oct&#x

I have also been amused by all the delusional assertions on 4chan and r/pizzagate, and I feel sorry for anyone innocent caught up in this, but this whole thing would have never caught on if there weren't real connections between t

Well, as an anecdote, I have been following this since day one and I'm absolutely not a member of the alt-right (if you do a search, you'll find that I'm the first person to ever mention "pizzagate" on HN). Not sayi

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 haven

I could not agree more. Plus, is it really a good idea to suppress a meta-discussion about propaganda and false information? Those "fake news" articles and their corresponding beliefs will still exist, even if Facebook manages to

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 given t

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 Miller and Michae

It was one of the the few smaller colleges with a linguistics department, so there's that. I had small class sizes and good, well-known professors, but the main reason is because I was 18 and I was just expected to go to a college like

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: http://www.motherj

You're preaching to the choir :) I find it totally revolting that the response from the left to Trump's election is to blame "fake news", as if it's possible for an algorithm or even a very intelligent human to dete
