They started off talking about the line defined in the contract as though it applies in the relational context. The GP contends that the equivalence is inaccurate: many will view termination a day before vesting a sort of theft, i.e., the c

People get to decide because you can't stop them from doing so. There's plenty of situations in life where being right and having a positive relationship come into tension. Invoking the "terms of the deal" usually has a

This is a great example of a line-drawing fallacy. The claim isn't wrong just because there's no universal precise line.

> Rib fractures occur during CPR if CPR is being done correctly. This is a common myth. They can occur when CPR is being done, correctly or incorrectly, but do not occur in all cases and are not a good indicator of proper CPR technique

The flip side sure could be interesting, but studying it seems like a very different task (with a significantly larger scope) than this project. That doesn't seem realistic to be covered in this sort of paper.

I don't think you're trolling, but again, you're not actually saying anything here. That's why you need to make the disclaimer that those are sincere questions. I'm suggesting that you instead take positions, even i

Just read that after seeing your suggestion. It's good! Skipped a lot of the argumentation—the proof is in the pudding, after all—and appreciated the concrete advice about "resources of speech" and intonational units.

Ok, but if we're being honest, you can make that sort of claim about anything and it's equally as unhelpful. Things can have value even if you can't perfectly define a metric, and even if others might use different metrics.

It seems like you're using a different definition of "better" than the article author or most of the people responding to your comment. You seem to treat things as a binary – as though the headline is only justified if it can

Do you mean "flair"? You're right that people can disagree about what to value, but I'd think that given a set of values, maximizing them is better than not. If you're a writer who does care about using all the colo

But they do start to create a feedback loop. Even if the underlying data is completely made up, as long as the “best” students are going to an institution, there’s at least some value to future students to be associated with them.

I am not a lawyer. That doesn't seem likely. Offering something for free doesn't mean you're legally off the hook for what it does. That's especially true when the "free" thing you're offering is part of a

Where are you finding “overly obscure, everything goes”? Saying “I oppose X as a solution to a particular problem ” isn’t the same as opposing X.

That quote doesn’t oppose structure and discipline. It opposes focusing on it rather than focusing on particular needs, when it comes to teaching students with a lower existing degree of skill.

Yes, it is. It reports a specific change that is taking place this year as a marked depature from the approach to literacy teaching that has been dominant for the past twenty years. Criticism of that approach isn’t totally new (see, e.g., [

No, of course, but if the comment was a response to the earlier one it may better have been posted there.

…the comment was suggesting not dealing with it, at least until earlier-identified problems had been dealt with, so it’s not clear what you’re responding to.

No, unfortunately multiple bad things can be happening at once, and FIFO isn’t a great way of dealing with that.

Do you somehow imagine there’s a way to start working that doesn’t involve starting working? It’s an important skill to be able to reframe things for your brain, and not just in this context.

I see this claim repeated but is there any evidence for it? It’s not like writing a long story adds any protection for the recipe. Seems the author’s explanation is simpler (though even simpler is that the audience of those long-winded site

I think the comment is proposing a massive shift toward rental and away from ownership. The landscape would not look the way it does now.
