trust_bt_verify··on Websites hosting major US climate reports taken down
This comment does not align with the hacker news guidelines. Pretty weak response.

The fact you had to stoop to personal attacks tells me you are not that confident in your position. You can downvote with your alt accounts but that doesn’t change the facts here.

trust_bt_verify··on The Academic Pipeline Stall: Why Industry Must Stand for Academia
Did you get a good job after getting that degree?
trust_bt_verify··on Websites hosting major US climate reports taken down
You are correct. The fossil fuel industry will fund anyone who will take their money and push their greedy agenda. The difference in the republicans are normally the only ones who will stoop that low to sell out future generations for power today. That’s why no one cares about your false equivalency.
trust_bt_verify··on The Academic Pipeline Stall: Why Industry Must Stand for Academia
Well you certainly sound _incredibly_ gifted and it’s truly a shame you pushed through a CS degree that was clearly beneath you. Any reason you didn’t change course once you clearly evaluated college was not for you?
trust_bt_verify··on The Death of the Middle-Class Musician
A blog post referencing another blog post doesn’t seem to rise to the level of total disregard for the original study. But maybe we can try Wikipedia again.
trust_bt_verify··on Bunker Busters probably failed to penetrate Iranian concrete
Care to provide some sources for these wild statements? Got an AP article where they use that as her name? Maybe we just have a different definition of credible news sources.
trust_bt_verify··on Tesla launches robotaxi rides in Austin
> they just stop if they ever encounter a situation where they don’t know what to do.

Oh my god that’s terrifying if true. I can think of many situations when driving when slamming on the breaks is the absolute wrong choice. Tesla is pushing this out way before it’s safe enough to operate in public.

trust_bt_verify··on US Congress is making more than 250M acres of public lands available for sale
This article details plans pushed specifically by a single party.
trust_bt_verify··on Show HN: Tool to Automatically Create Organized Commits for PRs
Sounds like it may be closer to ‘git commit —fixup HEAD’ but same idea.
trust_bt_verify··on Trump's NASA cuts would destroy decades of science and wipe out its future
Two edits and you hand waved away the point about CEO compensation? oof. Governments and private businesses have the same problems since they are both made up of imperfect humans. The government has the great oversight mechanism that private businesses don’t which is called voting, which is why I think it takes the cake here.

I never said that the government should never use private contractors (always need janitorial services), but when tax dollars are being used to fund technology and research, the government should never cede ownership of those outputs to private business.

trust_bt_verify··on Trump's NASA cuts would destroy decades of science and wipe out its future
That’s an odd take, I never said people should not be paid a living wage for their contributions to the country. However, when was the last time the government authorized a multibillion dollar pay package for a single worker? The government doesn’t have stock buy backs, they don’t have dividends to pay out. That is where private business greed comes in and has no place in public government work. That kind bloat is what I am highlighting in private business.

What are some private contracts which do not contain the bloat of private profit?
trust_bt_verify··on Trump's NASA cuts would destroy decades of science and wipe out its future
So private contractors are unreliable for a variety of reasons? We should get all of this private bloat out of the government.
trust_bt_verify··on Marines being mobilized in response to LA protests
Same with Chicago. They handled it from what I heard, why did Texas struggle so even with the extra federal dollars they get?

Reposting this everywhere doesn’t make it truthful.
trust_bt_verify··on Grok's white genocide fixation caused by 'unauthorized modification'
And when moderators repeatedly make biased comments on political threads it’s… supposed to be ignored. Got it.
trust_bt_verify··on Grok's white genocide fixation caused by 'unauthorized modification'
I guess you are right, this thread is filled with low effort, emotional posts which clearly illuminate biased views. [0] Hopefully some one with years of experience in ‘forum talk’ will be able to realign this misguided soul. Until then, let’s flag anything that makes Elon look bad so we never have to talk about it.

trust_bt_verify··on Grok's white genocide fixation caused by 'unauthorized modification'
Can you elaborate on how feelings about a subject and intellectual curiosity are mutually exclusive in your world view?

This is an article about a conservative tech company producing an AI that pushes their conservative talking points. The only common trait in these so called ‘low quality’ threads that the HN staff feel the _need_ to call out is that conservative look really bad. The tech is still just as interesting to discuss.

Seems like _everyone_ has lots of feelings on this post. What an interesting comment!
trust_bt_verify··on The Future Is Too Expensive – A New Theory on Collapsing Birth Rates
> ‘most easily’

Seems like you may be underestimating how much work kids, even at elementary age, can be.

trust_bt_verify··on CT scans show cigarettes are harder on the lungs than marijuana
And I’m sure there are those who cringe when they see you but into a sweet for the same reasons. People optimize for lots of things in their life that are not always health, and that’s ok.
trust_bt_verify··on Corporation for Public Broadcasting Statement Regarding Executive Order
You won’t hear that on NPR and this is why the ‘both sides’ argument has been so detrimental to American’s perception of their media.
trust_bt_verify··on Whistleblower: DOGE Siphoned NLRB Case Data
The false dichotomy! Nice. However you still make a good point. Farming out gov work to private industry is rarely a good answer. As you stated, they are normally even less efficient and cost more!
trust_bt_verify··on US Government threatens Harvard with foreign student ban
But you said it your self, 3/4 of the students are American students primarily benefitting. How high does that ratio need to be? Possibly non-American students might bring some value to the school and students also? Lots to consider, maybe people are not taking things at face value but rather seeing the whole picture.
trust_bt_verify··on NIH freezes all research grants to Columbia University
Source?
trust_bt_verify··on Justice Dept. scales back crypto cases in line with Trump administration memo
Seems like an odd choice to move some but not all comments between posts like this. Especially when the only ones moved seem to be conservative talking points. This one even discusses a title that doesn’t exist on this article?
trust_bt_verify··on When the physicists need burner phones, that's when you know America's changed
I don’t believe we are reprimanding those who mishandle sensitive information any longer. Anyway, they were just joking when he concealed it. That’s just their ‘weaving’ skills on full display.
trust_bt_verify··on CDC to study vaccines and autism despite research showing no connection
They seem to have only included credible research.

This is the type of intelligent rebuttal I come to HN for.

They were released at the same time and were found to be just as effective? Which ones?
