Agreed, but that entire thread after your comment was more or less orthogonal to the headline.

So possibly the warranty may say "replace or refund at supplier's option." In that case, it's clear. But if we don't know what the "fine print" says, then I don't see how we can figure out who was wro

Sure, it should say PE not VC. But it was pretty accurate. The PE firm won't be on the hook for much of the debt. The nano-debate over the word "push" is probably obscuring more than it's revealing.

I think Americans tend to say "orient." I think English people tend to say "orientate."

Some content on ResearchGate can be downloaded for free. Some can't.

by nyeah 7mo ago
You may be arguing that ResearchGate allows free access to its articles in general. If so, I believe there's a logical fallacy in your argument. But I've been warned that naming that logical fallacy is a ban-able offense on HN. (S

Nice take on the trolley problem. "No amount of pulling the emergency brakes is going to prevent passengers from dying when this runaway train finally crashes. So let's be responsible adults and put the pedal to the metal."

Really you can. You look at the engineers who create steaming piles, and you look at the ones who don't. Over a year or two, the difference is easy to spot. For people who care to spot it. If there's no competent front-line techni

Nyeah ... but people can get promoted for consistently shipping stuff that works, on time. And people can get sidelined for consistently taking 10x as much time to provide the same business value. That may not be the rule, and it may not al

Yeah. "You already know what a title is, Neo. A title is a text field attached to a pay grade."

Yeah. But anything bad does that.

:) Not exactly. We'll use English to get a kinda description, then test and debug to make that functional, then cycling the functionality with users to nail down what is actually needed. Which won't be written down anywhere. Like

Business school professors are professors. They've never run any business. They can train MBA students to get hired and promoted. They can keep their own personal money in S&P500 index funds. That's about it. (EDIT: Even if a

Some people say "this is obviously wrong" and other people say "this is too obviously correct to be worth mentioning." That combination can sometimes indicate an interesting point.

Signing (or refusing to sign) legislation is a good example of the President exercising executive power. I'm not aware of any occasion when the President delegated that power to Congress (or to the Supreme Court). Can you cite somethin

These are good examples of congressional power as defined in the Constitution. In each case the legislative branch created new agencies and delegated some power to the executive branch. But not the reverse. Can you give any example of the o

Can you give an example of a case where the executive branch has delegated power to the legislative or judicial branches?

"So much grief." It sounds like you're trying to interpret Hickey's emotions. How would you check whether your interpretation is accurate?
177.
by nyeah 8mo ago
I think some might get the impression that you're complaining about Hickey's tone. Perhaps your emotional terms "frustration," "defensive," and "exasperated" may be the reason.
178.
by nyeah 8mo ago
Agreed, TFA is a good example of how to write down expectations explicitly. But as far as dinging Hickey for the fact that he eventually needed to write bluntly? I'm not feeling that at all. Some folks feel that open-source teams owe t
