Great. Cherry picking at its finest. Were you saying something about "science" down below? > there are large genetically distinct human population groups that correspond ~80% with our notions about race. Oh really? What exactly

Oh my. Project much? Your attempt to rephrase his question to try to suit a silly ideology has nothing to do with "science", is merely your own appeal to emotion, and isn't doing a thing to advance the discussion, moldburg. N

"...it is a known fact blah fucking blah..." [citation needed] And stop ducking the question, genius. Are you really trying to tell us that the solution to your homelessness problem is to bus people who you magically somehow don&#

Methinks you and yours are projecting. There is absolutely nothing "sensible" about intolerance and racism. Your arguments from numbers and history are not "sensible" or rational either.

~sigh~ Enough. Save your unsupported observations and your fucking breath. Your contributions and the contributions of other libertarians in this thread amount to little more than endlessly bleating that (in the opinion of the greedy ), g

So wonderful to watch this little drama (complete with breathless appeals to get the news media involved) play out today on HN, which appears to have become "Bitcoin News". A match made in heaven, between this genius financial ent

Ehhhhh....really? Your examples are unbelievably silly, as both Enron and the financial crisis of 2008 occurred in the context of deregulation of those "traditional markets". Wanna watch Bitcoin absolutely implode and die? You l

"I don't know about this particular man's case..." followed by "He irresponsibly had a child...." [emphasis added] Do you even read your own writing from one paragraph to the next? How in the fuck do you have

Speaking as a male, the vapidity of male, misogynist programmers (the kind who wrote took the time to write this chickenshit) who are threatened in their little enclaves is evident and pathetic.

Oh. Argument from "enjoyment". In other words, more complete illogical bullshit. The question remains: if eating meat is not necessary for nutrition, and it (killing animals) causes unnecessary suffering, then tell us again what a

Oh. Argumentum ad populum. In other words, bullshit. Are you really trying to convince us that because some large number of people want to mindlessly eat meat, nothing can be done?

by logjam 13y ago
Really. It's "not an acceptable answer." Really. And you were saying something about "bias"? Kindly explain to us all how "eating meat" and the suffering that inevitably accompanies it is necessary or even

Of course. You can do anything at 40 - become a programmer, go back to school and get a doctorate in physics, become a physician, etc.

Really. You trust "profit motives". How adorable. But yet you couldn't find space above to relate for us all the charmingly ethical conduct of companies "bound by various contracts and laws, public perception, and their

That's not an "update" - it's corporate bullshit that says nothing. 23andMe is finally learning that there are actual, legitimate reasons why regulations exist around medical testing. Off topic: when did the smarmy cli
