The only thing that I'm responding to is the first three space-delimited tokens in your post, which was "Prior to 10/7,". Webster's dictionary defines "mention" as: > the act or an instance of citin

At least in my experience when doing investigative journo stuff, it's rare but it happens. The spokespeople who've done it towards me have been around for long enough that it's not unknown behavior.

To the authors: Please expand your acronyms at least once! I had to stop reading to figure out what "KSVD" stands for. Learning what it stands for* wasn't particularly helpful in this case, but defining the term would've

Today I learned that "caring about my audience" means using analytics against them to understand as much as I can about them without their full consent. Friend, there are many other ways to care about your audience without being a

Dang responded saying, "That site is behind a signup wall, or at least mostly has been, without any consistent workaround. That makes them off topic for HN per https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html . See also https

Seems like HN is killing tons of 404media.co URLs. I emailed @dang asking him what's up but haven't received a response yet. https://i.imgur.com/5UdDc5E.png

Noteworthy in what way, exactly?

To accomplish what, exactly?

Better question: is there not a better way to accomplish this without the national fucking guard ?

The question wasn't asked to extract enlightenment. This person in particular does not trust statistics, so the question is aimed at understanding the edges of their lack of trust through Socratic-questioning. Like, I fundamentally dis

Couple more questions: 1. "Nobody knows the real answer to this." Including you? 2. Do you think, specifically for argumentation, that Chicago is going up or down in its murder rates?

Sure, but probalistically some will! So if 99.9% don't lose their dormancy state, that small percent will carry the organism's lineage on. Obviously I'm generalizing, but I think my original point stands!

This is such an important principle to me that I've spent a lot of effort developing tooling and mental models to help with. Biggest catalyst? Being on-call and being woken up at 3am when you're still waking up... in that state, y
