Thanks for that definition. I didn't know the word, but it for some reason carried a negative connotation for me. Perhaps because I linked it with "insidious"?

- sixo 10y agoI think it's the way it's used - the headline seems to suggest that these prefab bars are cheap imitations of real culture, but assiduous doesn't actually participate in that connotation.
- dang 10y agoI think it's the exporting that was being described as assiduous. However, since the word is needless we've omitted it above.
- freehunter 10y agoI also thought negatively of the word before I looked it up. I honestly do feel the HN headline was chosen specifically to drive emotions like that, there's no other reason for it to differ so wildly from the article headline.
