No amount of evidence will convince people who have already made up their minds. Do you disagree? What level of evidence would cause you to change your mind?
Except it kinda is, since the score is mostly used to filter what messages are shown. You aren't supposed to mod down something just because you disagree with it.
It's fine. Read with caution. Critically analyze everyone's post--even if they agree with you. If the poster's argument is sound, then does it really matter if they were paid?
We are experiencing a huge change in the ocean biomes due to ocean warming, acidification, melting ice, and fishing. Most of our oxygen comes from the oceans. You might welcome a few degrees warmer temperature, but would you welcome a change in oxygen content in either direction?
It's not that Gitmo detainees will gain super powers if transferred to US. It's that the detainees might get some ridiculous notion that they have some rights and due process since they are in the USA. That's what the senators are afraid of. The prison staff might have more qualms with doing certain enhanced techniques on American soil.
You realize that Slashdot is social media. A lot of people don't even bother to RTFA and come only to read people's comments and post their own. Look at me, and mod me up!

On geological scales, 14 years isn't soon. 14 years is now.
The sad thing is I can't figure out if ThatBeDank is being sarcastic.

We keep launching off bits of planet into space, which is presumably bad. Ergo, anything bad for us is good for the planet.
Massive extinctions, in oceans and on land.
Change happens, but that doesn't mean we can't make more change happen faster.
What kind of processes act on a 40 year timescale? Does this have something to do with sunspots?
You don't have to keep repeating it. If people agree with your position, they'll believe your lies right away.
Payola is illegal, as far as I know, and astroturfing is pretty much the same thing.

Sometimes, when liability is concerned, a middleman is what you want.

I assumed a Gaussian distribution, not a uniform distribution.
It would be dishonest to claim 100% accuracy for anything other than 0% false negatives AND 0% false positives.
More like sqrt(1/10) the size.
Seems like Amazon could simply analyze which books are generating revenue and pay authors of those books.
What's the name for this fallacy again?

Once upon a time, plugins were used to add functionality to a program, not remove it.
Vendors are selling pretty computers because computers have been "good enough" for a while. Performance isn't a big deal for people outside gaming.
