First, a nursery rhyme is for kids so if it only "rhymes" on paper, then it's going to be missed by the audience (and it's only a rhyme in a metaphorical sense anyway). Besides that, square and year don't rhyme eith

That nursery rhyme is deprecated for the simple fact that it doesn't actually rhyme.

Yeah, it's fine.

Or the government told them to strongly deny the allegations and the fact that the government can do that is just one of the many powers that we already know get granted to intelligence agencies in secret by rubber-stamp classified court sy

I have never assumed that an email address I gave the government would be protected. I would also not assume that the contents of any email I sent would be in any way protected either. The government is collectively owned. Your police recor

You don't even need to go that far. Someone Bloomberg trusted has his own motivations for not being honest. Maybe that individual wanted to stoke fears of China. Or they were having a laugh. I have no way of knowing at this point.

When it systematically and illegally oppresses a class of people in an obviously ethically dubious manner, I would expect a certain level of caution.

I'm honestly pretty shocked that Amazon went ahead with this which is such an obvious legal liability in an extremely touchy area of business practice. Everything about this should have been a red flag that meant it never should have g

There were people who moved to accept a job at that company a few months ago who got fired. Imagine uprooting your entire life, moving across country for your dream job, for the sole purpose that management can keep up appearances that they

I don't think such black and white thinking is appropriate here. Most websites are neither or something in between. It would be intellectually nice if there was such a simple distinction, but it's entirely artificial, a remnant of

I'm not sure if Terry Davis should be considered like the outsider art of programming or more of a sad side show that captivated the internet's attention.

It seems pretty obvious to me that the line is a bit off. If you allowed it to have a negative y-intercept or allowed some kind of an S-curve you'd reduce the error dramatically.

You cannot anonymize data and we've known this since the Netflix data was famously deanonymized. "Anonymized data" is what people call it when they're lying or don't know enough to be trusted with privacy. The prima

Yeah, they're not serious citations. They're either criticisms or jokes. I've heard that it's become a bit of a meme.

I'm all in favor of healthy, competitive free markets with reasonable assurances to protect consumers and control for externalities. Basically your boilerplate I-took-some-econ-courses-in-college mentality. The problem is only in very

Yeah, people think linguistics is the study of language in the same way that a Spanish class is the study of Spanish. It's just people not really knowing what the field is, but assuming they do because they speak a language of some sor

It kind of reminds me of the use of Navajo as a code by the Americans in WWII. If you don't know the language and no one in your country does, you have no hope of decoding it because words just mean different things and you can't

I mean, there's an entire area of accounting called tax planning where accountants consult with businesses about how to conduct business to reduce their tax burden. Avoiding paying taxes isn't some obscure thing that people do, it

Move fast and break things, I think, is good advice. Why on Earth you would ship said broken thing, I don't know. But the whole point of moving fast and breaking things is to see where things get broken, so you have time to fix it befo

I think as a non-medical term "blood" is potentially broad enough to cover both hemo- and myo-globin. It's not like when our ancestors in ancient antiquity used the word they had any clue about what the underlying biology, th

A brand new laptop I bought this year can't run Windows 10, the system is basically unusable. Not a cheap laptop, either, it was one of the more expensive ones. It runs Ubuntu no problem. All of Microsofts products seem to have latency

I'm gonna guess it's because of increasingly region-specific regulations about the internet. GDPR being the most recent big example.
