Huh, the reviews I read seemed to say that the camera was a huge step up. (But maybe they were mostly comparing to the A53, which seemed uniformly to be regarded as a regression.) If not, then I feel quite stupid for paying the extra to &

I have no objection to calling "almost all criminals vote Democratic" a "claim" rather than a "statistic," although I'm not sure what it changes. I still doubt the claim, and, even if there is no pre-defi

What I found was a bunch of occurrences '...' without a hyphen, which I assumed indicated the general trend, but on further searching I see that it is as you say. Nonetheless, if I may still ask, why?

Here I was thinking I might have another fun little bit of trivia for my Statistics class, like the T-test one from the other day ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40485313 ). Different standard error!

Ah, either the author of the article I'm dimly remembering was mistaken, or, much more likely, they correctly inserted some caveat that made the claim true, and the precise caveat was just lost to my faulty memory and the mists of time
