Sorry for being a bit rude. And yeah, this is the most hair-splitting argument I've ever been involved in on HN :) My work in linguistics and NLP is strongly related to ambiguity, so I tend to see things in those terms and I do not see

- Tea that contains ice? Yes. That is the relationship... "contains". There are many other examples in English of that relationship in NN compounds, and I guarantee you use them unconsciously without a second thought. You are also

You are not getting my point. The relationship between two nouns in a noun-noun compound is very flexible. Sometimes it means the head noun is made out of the attributive noun ("apple pie"), sometimes it means the head noun is

Ok, even if I accept that, it's not a reason to prefer the term "iced tea" to "ice tea". Ice algae are not made from ice, for example -- they are algae that are found in ice. The point is that in noun-noun compoundi

"Ice" is not a type of tea, but ice tea is a type of tea just as apple pie is a type of pie. I see no difference. Ice tea is tea with ice in it, apple pie is pie with apples in it.

I'll upvote you (although technically HN doesn't like meta-commentary about upvotes / downvotes) because you made your point well. I don't have an issue with every "error" on that page and I have no problem wit

Most of those are made up prescriptive guidelines, mixed in with some common misspellings. One grumpy person does not get to decide how the rest of us choose to use and evolve language. The "forceful" / "forcible" e

Not to mention that submission karma is way easier to acquire. Around a third of my karma is from one submission, for instance.

As one related example, DARPA is interested in "explainable artificial intelligence". Essentially machine learning where the decision making process and intermediary steps are less opaque to humans. http://www.darpa.mil

One of the reasons Everett is talked about so much is because his claims are controversial. Many linguists have criticized his methodologies. I have a background in linguistics but have never looked into Everett's work too thoroughly,

Extracting just raw text from the Wikipedia dumps is pretty hellish. Apparently the official Wikipedia parser itself is something like one 5000 line PHP function. There are about 30 or so alternate parsers that attempt to do this with limit

It's presenting your audience with misinformation, false hope, and scams. It's incredibly scummy. Those type of ads prey on people's desperation and gullibility, and there are actually people who will fall for them and waste

Of course it is. Are you surprised given that the US sold Saudi Arabia ~120 billion in weapons under Obama?

You seem to be right about parallel construction as practiced by the DEA/NSA. That revelation came out in a Reuters' report in 2013 rather than from the Snowden leaks. Regarding gag orders, I'm referring to National Security

Unfortunately this has dropped off the front page already. I hope that's not because of flagging. Hopefully the discussion of the next Wikileaks release will be more substantive, and pertain more to the content of the documents releas

GP is lamenting the fact that this is "barely news" and the bit about Wikileaks being a threat was sarcasm.

That argument is terrible. If you are smart enough to program weapons systems for a defense contractor then you are smart enough to make money doing something else.

You are totally correct. It's not just cows either, there are parts of many animals that I did not even know existed until I ate them outside the US. The skin, intestines, blood, heart, lungs, tendons, etc. of most animals taste great
