This is of course very unfortunate. Most likely, it will now be less than a decade before the project gets run into th ground by power hungry moderators (make no mistake, once any steering committee goes down the path of censoring their community, this result enshitification is unavoidable). Hopefully, by that time, there will be a good alternative to gcc.

Archetypal instance of Betteridge's law of headlines.

Because, obviously, being young is somehow more important than knowledgeable about the subject.

Steve Huffman is used to lie about pretty much everything else, so why not this as well?

People haven't been falling dead in droves by all these super dangerous gas stoves for the past century. These kind of "studies" should not be consumed without a dose of common sense.

Gas is much more convenient for cooking though.

I mean, it's reddit's admins. Clearly, they would never lie to their community. That's just completely impossible to ever happen.

That might not be an entirely unrelated issue...

I recommend you check out the blog ufotrail.blogspot.com. The main claim of the author is that UFO beliefs are use as a sort of lightning rod to cover up clandestine activities by the intelligence community. You shouldn't necessarily believe all of that, but some of their claims seem plausible to me.

This sound like a arcehtypical case of Betteridge's law of headlines, so the answer is a resounding "no".

In An Inconvenient Truth, it was claimed that "Research says the Arctic could be Ice-free in fifteen years." Fifteen years later, it is still "in fifteen years"...

It might also be a personal effort by people like Altman to secure a lucrative position in such a UN agency.

Since there is a lot of crime going on in American cities, clearly there is a problem of *under* jailing.

And clearly, it is still not enough. The fact that there are criminals in prison is not an argument for not putting criminals in prison.

This is obviously a ludicrous lawsuit by the city, but since such things seem to be possible in the US courts, I think Kia and Hyundai should sue New York city for negligence in dealing with crime.
