My BS filter goes off when I read that isolated sentence. The context in the OP makes the sentiment novel and useful.

WhoCanISue.com's profitability is another data point in favor of the hypothesis that there are corruption problems in the justice system. The obvious example is the well-known correlation between having deeper pockets and winning in court.

It aids clear thinking to habitually demand immaculate precision in your speech. It's not just for mass-emails or public-facing websites--it helps you, too.

This summary took me 1 minute to read, not ~20. It's worth the indirection.

What drove you away from Haskell? Expressiveness there is just awesome, it must've been hard to walk away from that.

Maybe you are actually arrogant? How could you tell that you aren't just using your concise writing style as an excuse to offend people?

This is very convincing. Why did Netflix do it?

Appeal to age? Really? Where's your reliance on merit ? The "behind the veil of ignorance" argument from Rawls has a solid basis. The premise is merely that if you were born with a higher a priori chance of living a fulfilled life, why n

The device used on the rats seems similar to the weaponized air tank in the horror/drama film "No Country For Old Men".

I believe markets are tools, not rules. This is one of those times when my background in economics threatens to overwhelm me with analysis paralysis while writing a comment. Just to be concise about it: economics is a descriptive science, b

I've been saying for a while that Turing's premature death set back mathematics by years, if not decades. :( Discrimination still happens to a large enough degree (gender, race and class) that we're shooting ourselves collectively in the fo

His authority is out of sync with his authoritativeness. I often appreciate his posts, but they can be vacuous. He's your business partner, I expect you to defend him. I'm criticizing what he writes, not him.

Atwood's blog isn't peer-reviewed and he's been slammed (rightly) many times on HN. Jeff seems like a nice guy, and some of what he says is useful. But please stop citing him so much in your posts. It's a credibility sink.

Reg, what's your take on the enhanced syntax that comes with PLT Scheme macros? Do those scale ? The code in that isn't just a list, it also has contextually-meaningful information. http://docs.plt-scheme.org/syntax/index.html

Did you mean that my summary is concise and correct, or just a correct representation of an incorrect statement?

Obviously. Show us how to do point-free style in Python. We're talking about Python's lame implementation of anonymous functions, not something that it doesn't have any implementation of.
