>a preponderance of HN

is exactly the bias I'm talking about: https://i.imgur.com/Si183zE.jpg

HN is basically just reddit with slightly more dissent with the prevailing bias to be found in the [flagged] [dead] section. When the hivemind encounters data that causes cognitive dissonance it downvotes and flags it.

I was replying to this statement, "They made it up."

They didn't make it up, proof was provided that they didn't make it up.

This is just an ad hominem.

Address the content/message, not the speaker.

I don't know how you leapt from the only group with a negative in-group bias to wanting to expand the in-group. Hating yourself isn't intrinsically inclusivity.

It's hardly widespread, but it's absolutely happened: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moWe3rk7LzQ

White liberals are the only demographic with an out-group bias, and women rate higher in negative emotion, so this makes perfect sense to me.

Serious question: Did you play the Diablo IV open beta weekend? (It's live for 4 more hours).

I did, on my Windows 10 box. The issue isn't random games that no one would ever have optimized, the issue is bleeding edge games that most people want to play, and play right now.

If you didn't, can you? If (the royal) you can't, get started in the time remaining, download speeds allowing, the year of the Linux desktop isn't here.

At the cosmological scale, stars are dust.

Thanks for conceding I was correct.

The smug sanctimony in this comment reeks of "reality has a liberal bias".

To everyone (the majority) outside of your filter bubble, what you're pretending isn't there is obvious.

You're fooling no one.

I mean does it mean it's accurate information? Could be a repurposed copy of some other document. Maybe they wanted it to be written by DV-3 and it didn't pan out, but they continued using the draft document anyway.

I know from personal experience that I've had draft documents that were WILDLY wrong before I published to anyone but myself. Whole sections I just went back and completely deleted. In fact my senior project paper (LaTeX) in college had a whole section with big ASCII bull taking a shit on a paragraph because it was some work I'd done that didn't pan out at all. I left it in the source because I found it funny. lol, I found it: https://i.imgur.com/6Oj64AV.png

This was before I'd ever heard of a VCS system. Subversion 1.0 was released 6 months after I graduated, it turns out. So commented out code and multiple copies was all I had.

I'm talking about the headline being misleading, not whether he's in the right or not.
