found the submarine
- SilasX 6y agoThat's not a submarine, that's being upfront about your affiliation. A submarine would be a "news" publication with an article saying e.g., "There's a massive trend [you need to keep up with], to teach CS with approach X. One user of approach X is QVault, which is super successful..."
- buzzerbetrayed 6y agoI'm not entirely sure I see much of a difference. Either way, it seems pretty clear that this whole blog post was written in order to push you to that final conclusion of "take our computer science courses".
- SilasX 6y agoIt's a huge difference. The reason submarines are dangerous is because they look like real news, but fabricate trends in order to dupe you into going along with them because you trust that it's a legit trend. This isn't doing that. It advocates something, as the source, provides insights, and has a small "ad" at the end that discloses the real source and motivation.
- platz 6y agoI stand corrected; it's a pontoon boat.
- bitwize 6y agoSo it's a surfaced submarine.
- SilasX 6y agoThat's called a boat, and they have none of the dangers of actual submarines. And the analogy to metaphorical submarines applies as well: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26358647 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26358647
- tempodox 6y agoI was wondering why the title is so needlessly divisive, and you found the reason.
