I want to buy this human a beer.

"Most tech content is bullshit"

N-gate summary:
"A webshit determines and announces the core truth of webshit. Hackernews bemoans the displacement of the technical book by the shitposting factory, but fails to reinvent the industry journal as a replacement. Other Hackernews debate whether the problem might actually be those snotty kids who don't know anything. The Hackernewsest post comes as someone declares critical thought as Considered Harmful, and recommends instead pestering random experts to train you for free. The rest of the comments are mad at Google for returning shitty search results, making it too difficult to just be told what to do."

    What kind of pompous nerf says something like, "The science is settled" 😆

    Sounds like politico-speak and sound bites. No scientist worth their salt would ever make that statement, for fear of being laughed out of science.

    @SortOfTested The thing is, science is funded by politics, so scientists will absolutely say that, and if their patron is friends with other scientists' patrons, nobody will dare laugh.

    When I was working at LBL, we took a lot of grants both public and private. It was most of our funding. We would have some truly bullshit profiteering at times (painting the bay bridge labeled as "a study into the efficaciousness of evaluable oxidation resistant substrate coatings in a high humidity environment", as an example).

    That said, we would never consider impugning our own integrity as a political mouthpiece. If you find anyone who will and have some evidence, you have my tacit approval to beat the shit out of them.

    Mad at google returning shitty results? Learn how to google properly lol, I feel like a lot of people need education on that topic if we put aside the fact that they don't really know what are they looking for most of the time!
