No, I mean to illustrate that "blue" and "knowledge" have a vastly different degree in variation in definition. Like you say, all words of course have different definitions between individuals, but you and I are obviousl

Yes, but blue doesn't have a "Definitions of Blue" Wikipedia page. There are nuances to definitions of common words "what is blue, what is a bicycle, what is a dollar, really?", but the magnitude of variance in defi

Your linter can flag the type mismatch, and/or the function can reject f"" at runtime. This is because t"" yields a Template, not a str. Template is also more powerful/concise in that the stringify function can

Perhaps they were using the original meaning of "one-tenth destroyed." :P

I understand now, thank you for the explanation. :)

Sure, everyone who wanted to join, could. That doesn't mean that the same kind of people want to join orstick around. Even sites like Twitter and Facebook have pretty different userbases, despite being pretty similar.

You're saying that the demographics of 4chan is roughly similar to most any site on the internet?

Interestingly (and I'm not sure if it was intentional or not), but the first thing kimbernator did here was validate your feelings. "It definitely sucks when..." Like ziddoap points out in another reply, the way it's sai

I feel like most people would tell you that it's harder to date than it used to be, because most people are older than they used to be. That is, you're generally "less attractive" (in a median sort of way), as well as ha

JKR's net worth is less than a billion, which means she's probably not raking in over a billion annually.

I agree - there's not much leverage that "we the people" have at this point, without the threat of a violent revolution.

Nitpick - if you need to apply and it comes with conditions, it's not UBI. Perhaps a better word would be stipend?

Language can be a (lossy) serialization of thought, yes. But language is not thought, nor inherently produced by thought. Most people agree that a process randomly producing grammatically correct sentences is not thinking.

Philosophers are often the last people to consider something to be settled. There's very little in the universe that they can all agree is true.

What kind of protest do you imagine could stop Trump from being Trump? His own staff tried that for four years (2016-2020) and made next to no progress. Now he's surrounded himself with enablers, and the Dems won't even make a rea

Emissions from shipping are about 3-5% of global greenhouse gases, and my understanding is that also includes all domestic shipping. Emissions from personal vehicles (not including freight trucks) is at something like 10%. I don't hav

"Stating facts" does not mean you are following the other rules of the site. For example, if you irrelevantly post "My software is on sale now for 10% off and here is the link!" on every story, everything in it is factua

I might agree with you, if the "why we're making changes" section had listed even one reason to lay people off.

This is correct. For the people who disagree, go read Slashdot at -1 for a while. Then pretend that you're one of the people who are targeted by that vitriol, and think about how much you'd read the HN comments if they were like t

Why? I'm pretty sure my public school education prepared me for all of these questions by 8th grade, excepting some notation that we no longer use and some specific history questions that are now less relevant.

Re: noise complaints, I'd suspect that most neighbors wouldn't mind if you had a generator running during a power outage - especially if you offer to share to keep their fridge cool.

Y'all have natural gas lines run to the home but use electric to heat it? That seems so backwards.

An additional truth is that straight women tend to be much less picky about physical appearance than straight men. Despite what many single men will tell you, their difficulty in finding a partner often has much more to do with their person

I don't think you understand what "proportional" means. It doesn't mean "there are two numbers." It means that when looking at all employees, compensation is strongly linearly correlated to provided value.

People can want things, so there's the possibility that your friends are being honest. LLMS cannot desire, and in fact are so devoid of interiority that they are not even lying when they say that they do.
