I'd say the very fact that you have to read into the detailed post to understand which "black" is indicated in the title supports my claim that the term is problematically overloaded.
- tptacek 5y agoYou are expected to read the posts on HN before commenting. It's one of the norms of the site. This isn't a newspaper article; it's a post they wrote specifically for us, in our norms. You should not feel good about trying to litigate this at their expense.
- thegrimmest 5y agoI did read the post. It doesn't however detract from my claim that the term is overloaded.
- tptacek 5y agoWe're here to talk about the startup they're launching, not about this. Again, I don't think you should feel good about trying to score points like this.
- thegrimmest 5y agoYes indeed, and discussion of the title of the startup, and how it fits into the wider social landscape is very much relevant here, don't you think? Also if you are under the impression I'm writing to score some "points" I can assure you you're mistaken.
