I can think of plenty of hypothetical benefits. But it's not worth it; the cure is worse than the disease.

This is the point: in English, it is not a generic geographic term. It is in Spanish, though, so I get where the confusion comes from (at least when that confusion is genuine and not just boring troll shit). In Spanish, "América&qu

Hey look judging from how this thread evolved in the last several hours, at least it turned out that the bait worked and a bunch of people were dumb enough to take it? ha ha

HN's penchant for pedantic literalism will never cease to amaze (and dismay) me.

And you're accusing us of jumping to conclusions without evidence? Get a grip here dude.

You aren't being nearly as clever here as you think you are.

I find this kind of funny, since you say your not signalling anything, and then in the second half of the sentence describe for us a very signal you claim you aren't sending: > I'm not going to change for a role that doesn&#x27

This is a distinction without a difference; a signal was received, whether you meant to send it or not.

On the contrary, I think it's [pleasantly] surprising that YCombinator threads have finally stopped misunderstanding Palantir. God knows it took long enough.

I can't imagine playing Outer Wilds any other way. It's clearly designed as a controller game. (Doesn't it even explicitly tell you as much before you start, or am I thinking of another game?)
57.
by ishouldstayaway 9mo ago
This is why it's untenable to talk about spoilers in Outer Wilds - 100% of the progression happens in your own mind. Telling someone too much about the game isn't just ruining the surprise or whatever; in a real sense it's pl

This just pushes the problem back a step, and both has and produces all the same problems as the issue it purports to solve.
