> Do religion and politics have something in common that explains this similarity? One possible explanation is that they deal with questions that have no definite answers, so there's no back pressure on people's opinions. Since no one can be proven wrong, every opinion is equally valid, and sensing this, everyone lets fly with theirs.

I'd suggest another guideline: keep your claims falsifiable.

The most heated online discussions I've witnessed have been around non-falsifiable claims. These discussions may offer an adrenaline rush for the participant, but not much else. Minds don't change in these discussions. Quite the opposite.

However, topics like religion are noteworthy in that none of the claims are falsifiable. Lots of political discussions (the more heated kind especially) deal in non-falsifiable claims.

PG suggests that such discussions can't happen around technical topics (JavaScript, baking?). I think there's evidence to the contrary on HN not to mention many other discussion forums.
Proper peer review has people at or above your level in the research area of the paper = they understand it and can know the nature of what you are telling in the paper. Sadly projealosy can rear it's head and some weasel sees your 'Nobel grade' paper and wants to delay and knock off kilter and get his similar paper ahead of you. Admittedly this is rare. In addition, the readers or referees of the paper could be very busy and drag their ass. This has become such a problem that the idea of preprint server has come into being where yourpaper is made public right away - establishing your priority as all stuff preprint served is scanned by your field and a number of people will give it intensive study for their being able to stay abreast of the field and let ideas spread. Often journals have a substabtial fee for this.
The whole journal game needs to be burned at the stake and replaced by electronic.
Their is another weasel, their are thousand of fake journals who copy and paraphrase paper and release them online via a nice sounding fake journal. It is a plague, however, those in the field know these rats - sadly newspapers and other media do not and are often tricked.
I don't think it does, so long as one uses a sufficiently broad definition of religion (e.g. crypto, wokeness).

Also my impression is that there was a spike of js hate ~3-5 years ago that has since subsided. I think it grew alongside the development of web applications, where more and more people who had little previous exposure to js were suddenly forced to confront it as some part of their workflow or other.

Can you point to a big dust up thread about js recently? I can't think of one personally. At most there are various complaints about specific js technologies like npm.

EDIT: Since everyone wants a definition of religion, here's the copypaste from my response downthread: Priests, holy writings, dogmatic beliefs, original sin, etc.

It’s because any such commenting is immediately seen in the context of the current social rights battles. Immigrant implies brown or hispanic in most people’s mind. Since I do not experience that sort of prejudice (supposedly), any complaining is immediately seen as “distracting”.

In Texas, there's been a lot of gnashing of teeth about the low labor supply, as a talking point against the unemployment bonus (which the state is opting out of). It seems to ones the most effected are places likes restaurants, who often pay the $2.15+tips rate. Then I noticed today that HEB (grocery chain often rated as one of the best in the country) was hiring warehouse workers at $17.50/hour. I suspect they have no issues finding workers.
This list is the "brute force" security algo. Eg 'just make everything more secure'. This would have someone upgrading a door lock with a hole in an adjacent wall.

There are at least the following major factors:

* what might happen (event A,B, ...) ?

* how probable is eventi?

* what is the cost if eventi happens?

* how can one deal with eventi? (action 1, 2 ...) ?

* how much / how long does actioni take?

* what actions should we perform with the skills/resources/time we have?

My algo:

1 enumerate possible security issues

2 assign approx probability and cost to business

3 re-order by prob*cost

4 imagine ways to address issues, assign cost to address

5 decide on courses to address issues

6 for next epoch, address issues

7 goto 1
Oh, this doesn't happen at all times on all subjects. There are a few more or less Nazi-adjacent topics where it's gonna happen. Could be worse, on Reddit it happens in a coordinated fashion, here it's a bit more organic.

You are invoking exploitable core tenets. If one is arguing in bad faith the FIRST thing you'll do is invoke free speech, invoke the principle of charity, call for the strongest possible interpretation and insist that good faith MUST be assumed.

For instance: I neither said nor meant that 'everybody' who supports free speech was doing this. That's half the trouble: it's protective coloration among people who are acting in earnest. I'm stating unequivocally that SOME folks in this camp are acting in bad faith: not just hypocrisy, but pursuing calculated behaviors akin to people coaching their peers to 'not reveal their power level' so as to better influence the communities they're operating on.

I don't know how many of 'em there are, but I find it a catastrophic failure of a community's intentions to assume charity. It's nothing more than an exploit, and there are some topics, political topics, that bring this out.
Of all the potential headlines that include the words "DARPA", "growing", and "clone" this is potentially the least exciting.

Agribusinesses certainly rely on illegal labor. Look at what happened in Georgia even before Covid. California is no different.

Hospitality is often from the illegal labor pool. Sure, Mariott doesn't pay below minimum wage--they just subcontract such that the subcontractor can't possibly be paying minimum wage.

Construction work is also quite often from the illegal labor pool. A raid has shut down every worksite I know who had an unannounced one.

Shall I go on?

> Illegal immigrants could actually be a net positive since they’re additional customers and don’t use the services they pay taxes for.

1) Illegal labor depresses the wage of those not willing to do the work below minimum wage.

2) Payment to illegal labor is generally cash and dodges taxes. Most do not have bank accounts that they could cash a check at anyway.

Politics are _meant_ to be understood by the common person, especially in the US. The Declaration of Independence and the Consitution were intended to be understood by regular people. This is so that there wouldn't be a political class, who believes the common person needs to be ruled.

Too bad we have that political class, anyway, along with regular people who believe politics should be inaccessible to regular people.
I found that "have you considered" is better at communicating a genuine intent. It avoids painting the original problem as trivial ("simply"), doesn't imply that it's a new idea, and in the case where it is new to them it gives them space to explore with it instead of being forced into a defensive position.
If people cannot argue fruitfully about questions that are part of their identity (and I agree with this premise), then it follows that for one to win politically (or convert them), the trick is not to convince people that your views are correct, but rather to convince people that their identity is threatened and that them maintaining their current identity (whatever that identity may be—and perhaps vagueness is key here) depends on you winning (or joining your group). Let them fill in the blanks on your views, wherever possible, as the specifics aren’t that relevant anyway.

This is what I perceive our political discourse has been reduced to. Maybe it never has been more than that.

I like the author’s conclusion that to keep an open mind, don’t make stuff your “identity.” Yet the instinct of many is just the opposite, so that not religion and party affiliation but even the most trivial things are stated as identity: “I’m a coffee person, not a tea person.” “I’m a dog person, not a cat person,” and other such bizarreness. Why are people seemingly so drawn to identifying themselves as anything at all?
Just wow...

I hope TD Bank wins this fight.

While there is a component of free speech advocates who are doing so because of partisan interests, there is another component who are sincere. (The way to tell is to ask whether they would accept censorship of their ideological foes.)

> where 'free speech' is treated as sort of antifa Kryptonite

I'm a bit confused by this. Whether or not free speech is repelent/harmful to antifa isn't an argument against free speech. If free speech harms a movement, then so be it. If it allows a movement to prosper, then so be it.

On the object level, I've seen a lot of allegations that antifa attack people who film them (and one of their movement sucker punched a journalist on air.) This gave me the impression that antifa is at least as interested in controlling speech as their opposition.
I’m inclined to think it’s akin to recreational drug usage in humans.

Crows are supposedly more intelligent/aware than other animals, and with awareness comes existential dread or whatever you want to call it.

Lots of humans use drugs to alleviate this and I think it’s plausible that crows do something similar. Hopefully I’m wrong and it’s a more uplifting reason.
For about 15 years "transistor" was one of the go-to words for anything technology. Although it looks bulky and clumsy today, Iron Man's first armor, in 1963, was said to be as light and powerful as it was because of transistors. http://www.ironmanarmory.com/Gray_Armor.html Subsequent armors also used the wonder technology until, I think, 1968.
Compared to this, it's fun to live and work in NYC. Here everybody assumes that everybody else can be an immigrant, or at least moved across the country to live here. But everybody also assumes that everybody else may be local, independently from the skin color, eye shape, accent, etc.

(I personally love this arrangement. I've seen it in several other cities, like London and Moscow.)
Frankly, those idea bots are useless. You have to spend so much time on them to see the good ideas vs the bad ones.

Even some people who manually tell others ideas are useless as they don't say anything about execution plus they haven't spent a reasonable amount of time on thinking how it could all go wrong. They just spend 5 mins thinking & put it in their idea list.

Increased rights have consequences. Decreased rights have consequences. There are limits on rights everywhere, even the US. I think it's quite rational for people to favour one or another system or limitation.

The first amendment in America protects speech (etc), while freedom of expression in Canada has stricter limits on speech w.r.t. hate speech. I'd argue that Canada's limits are more reasonable. I also accept that rational people could argue the opposite. I trust in the democratic process to deal with these issues.

The limitations on hate speech are something I agree with strongly, and would vote against someone wanting to reduce them. So I guess you'd find my position bizarre.
Anecdata: Driving through Florence SC a couple weeks ago, a McDonalds was advertising $500 hiring bonus.

A few days later in either Arkansas or Missouri I was inside a McDonalds offering $200 signing bonus, $100 after 30 days, $100 after another 30 days.

Yesterday I was at the Walmart distribution center in Houston (I'm a truck driver) and they had a banner stretched across a street-visible building for starting warehouse wages of $17.50/hour.

No idea whether any of those jobs get you more than 29 hours/week.

Help wanted signs are everywhere. Metal working. "Labor." Truck stop cashiers. There are signs as well as audio in the truck stops, and they brag about "flexible scheduling." Maybe that means you can schedule around school, or maybe that means "it's slow today, go home."

The big three truck stop chains (TA/Petro, Pilot/FlyingJ, Loves/Speedco) used to always be clean and serviced. Recently that's become spotty, all over the country.

Crypto and wokeness are not religions in the actual sense of the word religion. It's a shame that people redefine words in order to change their meanings to fit what they are saying.

> "More generally, you can have a fruitful discussion about a topic only if it doesn't engage the identities of any of the participants."

> Is that true?

I don't think so, but it approaches a truth. You can have a fruitful discussion about a topic only if it doesn't engage the identities of any two or more of the participants in areas where they have fundamental and intractable conflict.

But even this requires a very specific definition of “engage”. Its not just a matter of having overlap with content of the identity, but provoking a defensive, identity-based response. There are people who can converse around identity-related issues without their identity being engaged.

I empathize, but for a project as complex as a browser, how valid is this though? It's basically reliant on "the community", of which ungoogled chromium has a vanishingly tiny one, to flag any potential issues in a massive, complicated code base that is likely constantly moving. Sure, compiling yourself eliminates the middle-man who might have compiled the binary for you, but the trust element is still very much there. You're trusting eloston and other project maintainers.
I find this part so telling : ... domestic and foreign overfishing had taken its toll. In the end, stocks of cod in and around Canada's EEZ were severely depleted. Reluctant to act at a time of declining political popularity, the federal government was finally forced to take drastic action in 1992 and a total moratorium was declared indefinitely for the Northern Cod. The TAC for both the Canadian EEZ and NAFO regulated area was based on Canadian scientific advice. This turned out to be wrong and the Northern cod stock collapsed in 1992, and has never recovered.[5]

I’m not sure what your experience with it was, but in California it can be fairly cheap. Some anecdata:

- bartender friend of mine got laid off due to covid. With unemployment at ~$3k a month, he paid about $200 a month for insurance that had very low deductibles and overall seemed to be a good plan (silver). It was better than the plan I had as a university professor at a “good” university.

- another friend of mine started her own business. Very low income the first year (maybe $20k?) and was living on savings. She ended up paying about $100 a month for similar insurance to the bartender friend above.

The “downside” of these plans is that they scale aggressively with income. For reference, the entrepreneur friend’s business took off in year two, and now she’s paying about $1100 a month. This sounds high, but that’s what her group plan cost at her previous employer when you factored in the company contributions.

Or we could find ways to promote civil discourse. Avoiding conversation about difficult topics we disagree about doesn't seem like a very good idea. Society still has to deal with these things. You can't avoid personal beliefs involved in navigating the politics that run a country. Learning to have productive discussions about that and similar scenarios is a learned skill.

Heck, while HN is by no means perfect, the ability of people here an HN to do just that is what makes HN a step above many other online forums. This stuff isn't impossible, it's just not easy. On HN it takes awareness of and reminders about the community norms. People point out in replies that a parent post did not need to shift it's tone a certain way or level a personal attack. I frequently see posts voted down that express opinions that I know plenty of HN'ers agree with because their method of expression was disruptive to productive conversation. I'm as likely to downvote such comments as I am to upvote well reasoned comments that express something I disagree with.

I make mistakes on it too, and have been called out. I take a step back, consider it, and if the accusation fits then I apologize and resolve to do better. It's a group effort.
