The OP was talking about monetary wealth. Here you're redefining "expensive" to mean something other than wealth, i.e., time. Also, the whole point of the submitted article is that the investment of time into exercise is tota

Non-athletic adults can't do anything consistently. Which sports do you think are easier? Certainly not baseball or American football. Perhaps soccer, but only because soccer is more generous about inconsistency: play doesn't stop

Yes, that has become a problem for tennis players, but it's a quite recent problem. Before pickleball became popular, though, free public tennis courts were widespread in urban and suburban areas. Perhaps not in rural areas, though I c

It's implicit that the submitter of an article thinks it's worth reading. It's not implicit that other HN users think it's worth reading. Again, HN receives a new submission every few minutes. Not every article is worth

I'm not confusing them. But I would say, for example, that the HN guidelines and moderation, which come from the top, are focused more on encouraging commenters to respect each other, much less so on encouraging commenters to respect t

Was that link supposed to make a point? I think it needed a summary from you. ;-) As far as I can tell, HN receives a new submission on average every few minutes. Nobody can possibly click all the links and read all the articles. So, HN rea

You're practically making this into a life or death issue, when in fact the issue is relatively trivial: should I bother to read the submitted article or not? When a HN user submits an article link, the intention is that people will cl

NSTextView uses TextKit 2 by default now, so you can't really escape it. This is precisely why the TextEdit app has become so buggy, because the app is mostly a default NSTextView.
