That's also why I detested the formal, algorithmic writing method you learn in English classes. They always wanted you to turn in an outline before you had even begun your paper. How are you supposed to organize a paper before you even

I think he's actually describing a much deeper phenomenon called a "coincidence" in which two things occur which are related in some way other than by causality. This strange phenomena is usually attributed to a concept known

I'm about halfway through doing just that and I think a pattern has emerged: does there exists a plausible, concrete (you could put it into words) mechanism for cause and effect? That is, can a person tell you why the finding exists.

Don't forget your sense of sarcasm either. The top comments in this thread apparently didn't get the point of the article or stopped reading early.

I don't think the problem is that we don't have enough buzzwords, but that the ones we already have are largely meaningless and pointless.

I remember getting an autoban on a Twitch chat for using a word that happened to start with the letters "paki." That word was "Pakistani." So apparently just being from Pakistan is the part that's offensive.

I thought this was going to be about some obscure, but interesting mathematical problem that has implications for physics. Something akin to the hairy ball theorem. Nope. It's just what it says on the tin.

And other articles state that it is only smartwatches with a listening device. This is why you don't trust a single article from a sensationalist website and rely on exact phrasing within it.

This is a Chinese company we're talking about. I'm not sure how much influence an American judge is going to have.

That metaphor doesn't work because we're both the one selling the car and the hundreds of poor people. The rich guy shows up and he demands that all the poor people chip in to buy him a new car or he won't even buy a car to b

How does being free trade and open-borders not make you a globalist? Those are like the primary pillars of globalization.

Logically not, since your sampling method is imperfect and will not detect all typos and, in fact, some typos might make perfect sense given the context and be inherently undetectable forever.

And yet tests seem to have made this massive garbage heap actually work and enable a lump of spaghetti to continue to operate as a viable product. It doesn't mean you should write bad code, but it seems like if it can make even the mos

I searched Michelin Star restaurants in the US and looked through them and couldn't find any, then posed the challenge. So, yeah, no I didn't actually Google that and I should have.

Show me a single Michelin Star restaurant in the entire United States located in a strip mall. And besides, if they put Michelin Star restaurants in strip malls, they probably wouldn't be the marker of not much going on that they curre

No one said the language was perfect. The language is to help you write perfect cod which was immediately defined at the start as code which does not produce errors on any valid inputs.

People have been moving out of high-cost urban centers to cheaper areas since at least the 50s. And the "secondary" cities the author mentions are quite massive cities. Second, the authors narrative that people are moving "fr

Right. It's not a bug if it's the intended behavior. It's merely insanity that this is the intended behavior.

It was popular, but didn't generate revenues. It's not enough for a website to be popular, you have to figure out how to get people to give you their money.

Zero. Read the rest of the site. These are paranoid ramblings of mostly one individual. The fact that this is on the front page of hacker news really makes me worry about the critical thinking skills of the forum.

I think the point is to get people interested in more serious tools, not to prevent people from using them. Crayons are great for getting kids to draw. Doesn't mean a professional artist would use them (well, now that I think about it

The thing that annoys me more than anything is that people on scooters don't slow down when passing pedestrians and I've had a number of close calls.
