I'm surprised no one has mentioned ventilated prose, which is like this but even moreso: https://vanemden.wordpress.com/2009/01/01/ventilated-prose/

How have ~5% of married men never been on a date? Is the chart just imprecise?

A lot of people here are jumping to conclusions based on what could simply be a bug. Why not wait 24hrs and see if this is actually some policy or just a mistake.

@snapetom (author): what caused you to counter-offer 80% rather than sticking with 100%? Presumably expediency, but it seems with arbitrator on the line you were well on your way to a 100% payout.

Stepping back from the numbers and into the realm of personal anecdotes: 1. I was listening the radio a couple weeks ago and the DJ invited people to call in and talk about the mask mandate being lifted (in Toronto). Woman calls in, says sh

Q: What happened to Pidgin? A: Google & Facebook shut down their XMPP gateways to force you into their apps. All the sudden you can no longer use Pidgin to communicate with people on google & facebook. At least that was my experienc

If this was the intention, it's a bit curious the creators of CSS waited a quarter century to share this information. I wait with bated breath for the true purpose of text-decoration to be revealed.

To be fair that's what they were doing, with Vimeo (who they paid).

The solution I think most people want here is "give more notice for a change like this." Probably at least six months notice, i.e. enough time for someone to reasonably be able to put together and execute a migration plan. Vimeo i

I think the topic is getting a bit muddled here. Are we talking about couples who can't have children because one or the other is infertile/sterile, or couples who could have children with someone else but not one another? I&#x2

I'm pretty sure they do this on their own now. I set up "notify me" for a site and got tons of emails as sites became available.

Wow, thank you for explaining this!! I was wondering how weekends that were "not yet available for online booking" were already nearly fully booked when I looked on the booking site. Very irritating that people do this... With tha

I'm not a huge google fan but I write a ton and I use google docs extensively, and I have to say I'm crying tears of joy seeing this update. Just yesterday I was complaining to a colleague about how a table he put in a google doc

You chose to use your comment to promote longnow movement (there's no other reason to use that esoteric and confusing date format), and the conversation turned to the longnow movement. If you don't want to discuss the longnow move

by sequoia 5y ago
As far as I can tell, promoting the longnow movement is the sole purpose of using that confusing and distracting date format. So critiques of the movement you're promoting seem completely germane.

You chose to make a statement by using a method of formatting dates almost no one recognizes, and is therefor predictably confusing and distracting. If you didn't want to start a conversation about this topic, why did you make this sta

I've got to ask how many times you've been arrested or jailed fighting for justice in your country. It's very easy to talk about this, it's a lot harder to do it, especially in a place like Russia. I've been arreste

The FINTRAC inclusion of crowdsourcing is clearly a response to foreigners outside of Canada sending millions of dollars to fund an occupation of Canada's capital city. This is a delicate issue: on the one hand political contributions

The circularity of this meme is funny to me, even if the article is fundamentally true: This article is very very popular on hackernews, indicating that people agree that google search results are bad. What sources does the author draw from
