anotherarray··on Why Nothing Works Anymore – Technology No Longer Serves Human Ends
Why is humanity the "subject" of History and technology simply the "object"?

Why do we always think like this?

anotherarray··on How did Europe become the richest part of the world?
So, should we give up on relative peace for the sake of scientific and technological innovation?

Not an attack, but an actual question.

anotherarray··on YC at Columbia, Harvard, MIT, Stanford, UPenn
You're also forgetting there are also talented students outside of the United States.
anotherarray··on YC at Columbia, Harvard, MIT, Stanford, UPenn
What about the other 99% of talented students that couldn't afford these schools?
anotherarray··on Ask HN: If you were to switch career, what would you do?
Something that doesn't have a process or technique.

Something that can be done out of my heart.

anotherarray··on Ask HN: If you were to switch career, what would you do?
Wrong.

Basic income doesn't end supply and demand of labor. In other words, if all you want is money, you'll still perform these jobs.

anotherarray··on Inflammation halts fat-burning
This is interestingly related to Dinitrophenol, which is widely used by bodybuilders:

anotherarray··on Ask HN: What was the best book you read in 2016?
The Scapegoat, René Girard.
anotherarray··on Virtual Reality Can Leave You with an Existential Hangover
This is interestingly related to two psychiatric conditions named derealization and depersonalization:

http://www.calmclinic.com/anxiety/symptoms/derealization

A friend that suffers from the condition could never really explain what it felt like. Then, he tried VR for the first time.

anotherarray··on Ask HN: Why is the top bar red?
Actually,

>this friendly, fat Santa in these bright red robes, which, I don't think is a coincidence, match the color of the Coke logo — this really took hold in American culture."

anotherarray··on Germany threatens to fine Facebook €500,000 for each fake news post
Your comparison is meaningless.

1) A corporation is not the same as a German citizen.

2) "Contest" is not the same as "suing"

3) No German has a net worth of over U$300B (FB's Market Cap)

anotherarray··on Germany threatens to fine Facebook €500,000 for each fake news post
It's an example of ideological self-destructive universal.

Take freedom of speech, social justice, progress,... as an universal and it's ultimately destructive (to believers and itself).

anotherarray··on Germany threatens to fine Facebook €500,000 for each fake news post
>Facebook should absolutely take the government to court over this

This is not a contract between two corporations.

A private corporation should NOT sue a government for creating a new law. As long as it's legally feasible, Germany should do whatever it deems necessary to its own sovereignty and interests.

anotherarray··on Germany threatens to fine Facebook €500,000 for each fake news post
Your statement is completely ideological and blank of any actual argumentation.

Answer the question:

Is it bad to "suppress speech" that is a threat to "free speech" itself?

anotherarray··on Finland will hand out cash to 2000 jobless people to test universal basic income
>"not doing anything"

refers to "not performing a comercial activity", which means the same thing in my native language.

If you read my whole comment you can clearly see that's my point:

>Do they give up? Do they get depressed? Do they create things? Does entrepreneurship increase? Violence rate?

anotherarray··on Finland will hand out cash to 2000 jobless people to test universal basic income
Isn't that the whole point of the experiment?

You need to understand how people react to the idea of "not doing anything and still get paid".

Do they give up? Do they get depressed? Do they create things? Does entrepreneurship increase? Violence rate?... These are all interesting questions

anotherarray··on The worrying implications of China's social-credit project
This is terrible, but isn't it also a reality in the West?

Privacy laws getting loose, private business making deals with the government, social acceptance based on a "state of emergency".

Only difference is that the infrastructure of "Western digital totalitarian states" is run by private corporations.

anotherarray··on Management theory is becoming a compendium of dead ideas
Putting the blame on MBAs is laughable.

MBAs and their professors simply replicate and regurgitate an ideology that is outside their own awareness and control.

Lutheranism itself is more to blame than the whole faculty of HBS and SBS combined.

It's a problem of universals, not individuals.

anotherarray··on Facebook Investors Criticize Marc Andreessen for Conflict of Interest
I used an analogy to simply demonstrate every entity (e.g. government, corporation, military,etc) must follow specific rules while making decisions.

Go radically against these and chaos will erupt. It's both unintelligent and ideological to take speed as an absolute.

anotherarray··on Facebook Investors Criticize Marc Andreessen for Conflict of Interest
There are specific laws to protect rights beyond the realms of "speed".

Apply your line of thought to democracy and you'll see what's the problem.

anotherarray··on Facebook Investors Criticize Marc Andreessen for Conflict of Interest
Isn't it ironic they're both facing the same privacy concerns they helped to create?
anotherarray··on Facebook Investors Criticize Marc Andreessen for Conflict of Interest
I'm sorry, but this looks like a selfish, one-sided view.

>The plaintiffs suing Facebook's board include pension funds, like the Employee Retirement System for the city of Providence, Rhode Island, and individual investors

It may be "founder-friendly", but it's hurting thousands of Average Joes.

anotherarray··on Why the Film Industry Hasn't Been Disrupted Yet, Part 5
What about bootstrapped, self-funded, youtube channels that became huge?
anotherarray··on MailChimp’s founders built the company slowly by anticipating customers’ needs
Although not a numerous, there's some data in the following website:

anotherarray··on Silicon Valley wants to trick us into thinking capitalism is revolutionary
Capitalism isn't revolutionary or creative. It is destructive.

It's not shiny or different - it doesn't have to. As long as it makes X more productive, it will help people in the long-term.

anotherarray··on Our IQs have never been higher – but it hasn’t made us smart
In my country, unlike the US, it's legal to use psychological tests for hiring purposes.

Still, as I grew my company, I've realized how inaccurate they can be. Some of the best performing testers couldn't demonstrate a long-term perspective or broad set of knowledge/opinions.

Whereas they were terrific at solving puzzles, they couldn't accept or recognize a puzzle itself.

anotherarray··on What 2,000 Calories Looks Like (2014)
This is a fairly biased article.

It is possible to have a healthy calorie consumption with fast food. During college, I was able to compete in a natural bodybuilding competition by mostly eating like this.

It's all about what you choose to eat. No matter where you are.

anotherarray··on Sweden Wants to Fight Disposable Culture with Tax Breaks for Repairing Old Stuff
What if this comment hurt you and you had millions of dollars in a legal department?
anotherarray··on Body fat link to bacteria in feces
As a mere reader of this article, my only question is:

Couldn't the bacteria be instead the result of a high body fat percentage?

anotherarray··on Why I Majored in Philosophy Despite Everyone Telling Me Not To (2013)
I waited to have a established career and money to pursue a Philosophy degree just for the sake of it.

Many Americans obsess about graduating in their "dream field" before they're 22. It's much better not to worry about food, roommates, books, and so forth.
