gthtjtkt··on YouTube deleting comments who criticize their hiding of the dislike count
HN is the most heavily moderated, manipulated and astro-turned forum I've even seen, but you don't realize that until the mods start suppressing your posts and comments. Titles are constantly edited for no apparent reason, users who post unpopular facts are permanently penalized, and you can watch as negative stories about large tech companies are quickly flagged off the front page.

There's literally zero transparency here. At least on Reddit you can track the censorship in real time.

gthtjtkt··on FDA grants full approval to Pfizer-BioNTech’s Covid shot
That's like saying "if you dislike any single black person for any reason you're racist".
gthtjtkt··on FDA grants full approval to Pfizer-BioNTech’s Covid shot
> Which? Next to medical reasons there are none.

COVID vaccines aren't eligible for the VICP and have a laundry list of horrific side-effects, that's plenty of reason for any reasonable person.

> It's just selfishness and not caring about the greater good and health of society, your neighbours, colleagues, friends or family.

You can say the same about fat people, smokers, drinkers, and all other people who take unnecessary risks of any kind. They're all burdens on the healthcare system that reduce access and affordability for everyone else.

gthtjtkt··on NYC to mandate proof of vaccination for many indoor settings
> and done: https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#datatracker-home

Vaccine effectiveness is changing every day. In Israel they're seeing 16% efficacy 6 months after the 2nd Pfizer dose.

Also, benefits are only one half of the cost:benefit analysis. Where is the public data on side effects? It doesn't exist because all we have is completely unverified VAERS claims.

You can't make an informed decision when you only know half the equation.

gthtjtkt··on Coca-Cola says 'Be Less White' learning plan was about workplace inclusion
> This probably sounds pedantic

It doesn't just sound pedantic, it is pedantic.

The topic is clearly about personality traits not medical conditions.

gthtjtkt··on Coca-Cola says 'Be Less White' learning plan was about workplace inclusion
Funny how people are jumping out of the woodwork to defend racism. There's literally no context where attributing qualities to people based on their skin color is OK.

When did we go back to the 1950s? I sure hope you don't feel comfortable being this racist in real life.

gthtjtkt··on Coca-Cola says 'Be Less White' learning plan was about workplace inclusion
Didn't Biden reverse that?
gthtjtkt··on Coca-Cola says 'Be Less White' learning plan was about workplace inclusion
Don't try to justify racism. The slides literally told employees to "be less white".
gthtjtkt··on Order on Protecting Americans from Overcriminalization Through Regulatory Reform
The justice department tried to count all the federal criminal laws once. The best they could come up with was a rough estimate, and that didn't even include state or local laws. There are literally so many criminal laws now that no one is able to count them all, let alone understand them.

Is it fair to penalize someone if they couldn't possibly know their behavior was criminal?

gthtjtkt··on How Huawei controls its employees in Europe
9-9-6 schedule, "brainwashing" training, public humiliation for mistakes, automatic termination at age 50, penalties for integrating with EU culture. This isn't employment, it's slavery.
gthtjtkt··on Governor Schwarzenegger's message following the attack on the Capitol [video]
Here's a little summary of Kristallnacht for anyone who thinks the Capitol protest was comparable:

> Rioters destroyed 267 synagogues throughout Germany, Austria and the Sudetenland. Over 7,000 Jewish businesses were damaged or destroyed, and 30,000 Jewish men were arrested and incarcerated in concentration camps.

> Estimates of fatalities caused by the attacks have varied. Early reports estimated that 91 Jews had been murdered. Modern analysis of German scholarly sources puts the figure much higher

This is exactly the type of hyperbolic rhetoric that only enflames political tension.

Also, don't forget that Kamala Harris and Joe Biden were cheering on the BLM rioters who killed 30 people and caused $2 billion in property damage.

gthtjtkt··on Parler App delisted from Google Play; Apple threatening same within 24h
So you think they were about to start legislating after they walked into the Capitol? How would that work exactly?
gthtjtkt··on Permanent suspension of @realDonaldTrump
You forgot Kamala Harris, who encouraged the extremely violent and destructive BLM riots that killed more than 25 people and caused over $2 billion in property damage. That didn't seem to get Twitter's attention. She even set up a bail fund for the terrorists who participated in those riots.

gthtjtkt··on Apple’s longtime supplier accused of using forced labor in China
> immediately after this become public, Apple put Wistron on probation

That's far too late and at that point they had no choice. They deserve no credit for doing it.

gthtjtkt··on New York Times retracts core of podcast series ‘Caliphate’
That's the point. They had numerous reasons to believe he was lying and they chose to ignore them.

Sadly it no longer surprises me to see the NY Times reporting what they want to be true rather than reporting the actual truth.

gthtjtkt··on Poll: Will you take the Covid vaccine?
Remember Thalidomide? Remember asbestos?

I'll wait.

gthtjtkt··on The Moral Case for a Wealth Tax Has Never Been Clearer
> not having access to healthcare or food which seems incredibly orthogonal to how much money Jeff Bezos has.

How much food and healthcare do you think Bezos could buy with his extra $180 billion?

gthtjtkt··on YouTube to remove content that alleges widespread election fraud
It says they found the same thing: a lack of sufficient evidence that the Trump campaign conspired with the Kremlin to impact the outcome of the 2016 election.
gthtjtkt··on YouTube to remove content that alleges widespread election fraud
I'll quote it again since you didn't read:

> the findings run parallel to the conclusions of Mueller's probe, which found overwhelming evidence of Russia's efforts to interfere in the election through disinformation and cyber campaigns but a lack of sufficient evidence that the Trump campaign conspired with the Kremlin to impact the outcome of the 2016 election.

That's from the article you linked.

a lack of sufficient evidence that the Trump campaign conspired with the Kremlin to impact the outcome of the 2016 election.

Do you see that part?

gthtjtkt··on YouTube to remove content that alleges widespread election fraud
Your own article disagrees with you:

> The committee's findings are a more in-depth look at the interference than Mueller's investigation, but the findings run parallel to the conclusions of Mueller's probe, which found overwhelming evidence of Russia's efforts to interfere in the election through disinformation and cyber campaigns but a lack of sufficient evidence that the Trump campaign conspired with the Kremlin to impact the outcome of the 2016 election.

Mueller didn't indict a single US citizen for conspiring with Russia.

It didn't happen.

gthtjtkt··on Bertrand Russell's argument for idleness is more relevant than ever
This honestly sounds just like my nightmares.

I'd rather go live in a tent than spend 10+ years putting in 70+ hour weeks just to retire when all of my best years are behind me.

gthtjtkt··on The Truth Is Paywalled but the Lies Are Free
> the fact that this thing is being pumped through the lie pipelines that originate with places like RT (Russian state-controlled media) is kinda a dead giveaway.

What makes corporate-owned media more trustworthy than state-owned media?

gthtjtkt··on TikTok: Logs, Logs, Logs
So you think examining a single network activity is a thorough analysis of an application with millions of lines of code?
gthtjtkt··on TikTok: Logs, Logs, Logs
This is an extremely simplistic analysis and he even admits he only spent 3 hours doing it. He analyzed a single network call.
gthtjtkt··on How real are real numbers? (2004)
Sounds real enough for me.
gthtjtkt··on Trump says he will ban TikTok through executive action
I guess you never heard about what happened with Huawei?
gthtjtkt··on Slack Files EU Competition Complaint Against Microsoft
> very very reminiscent of exploiting Windows' dominance to push IE.

Reminiscent? They recently pushed out a mandatory windows update that caused IE to take over your entire screen upon restart, pin itself to your taskbar, and attempt to set itself as the default app for numerous functions: https://www.theverge.com/21310611/microsoft-edge-browser-for...

gthtjtkt··on Costco Convinces Brands to Cannibalize Themselves
> I am an actual vodka drinker and disagree

Your opinion is irrelevant unless you were one of the judges in the many spirit competitions where grey goose was ranked one of the worst vodkas. It has literally never won a blind tasting competition, unlike Smirnoff and Tito's which win very consistently.
