I really think you're missing my point. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miss_Julie https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miss_Julie

This is exactly what I thought you would reply. You were saying the other two were ambiguous, now are you saying that a wikipedia page means they aren't ambiguous? At some point, you just have to say "My education was cut short before a class on logic". Also: Hacker News (HN) is a social news website focusing on computer science and entrepreneurship. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker_News https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker_News

  No, I'm saying that there's nothing broadly ambiguous about any of these three references, but that of course you can find people with a localized confusion for each. Your position seems to be that Miss Julie is somehow different or something obscure, and I disagree. It's just an instance of localized confusion. Also, more authoritatively than the 'pedia: > On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html Anyway, this is a silly conversation. Now you know about Miss Julie. I wish I could say you'd enjoy reading it, since we've spent so much time talking about it. Unfortunately, I didn't enjoy the play when I read it many years ago. It is well-respected though, and perhaps I should give it another chance in my adulthood.

    Here is you before: Anyone named Riemann might hypothesize on any subject. And Kubernetes is a word in Ancient Greek Here is you now: there's nothing broadly ambiguous about any of these

      This is silly. This is me, from the beginning: > But "Miss Julie" has exactly as much inherent context as "Riemann Hypothesis", or "Kubernetes". In all cases, a web search will return, as the first result, the correct reference.

        Show me anywhere on any tech site where someone sees "Riemann Hypothesis" and asks 'which Riemann' or "Kubernetes" and asks 'is that the greek name?'

        Localised confusion, indeed: You're still labouring under the misapprehension that you're on a tech website here.
        CyberDildonics 3y ago
        Hmm, yes misapprehension indeed. Ergo, visa vi, concordantly, find me anywhere on any site where someone sees "Riemann Hypothesis" and asks 'which Riemann' or "Kubernetes" and asks 'is that the greek name?'

        > visa vi Oh man, you're killing me here. Too deftly ironic for trolling, so I'll respond, for your entertainment! I work in Fintech, and I use vim. You just blew out my context scope. But I see this is more localized confusion. Your liberal arts curriculum also didn't extend to Latin or French apparently. Or you can blame autocorrect if you like! vis-à-vis Also, seriously ironically: I first learned that phrase from the same guy who made me read Strindberg in high school (he also taught French). There's something going on here. Re: the rest: you're still missing the point, so I've nothing more to add.
