What does this have to do with the article? This sounds like you're here gloating about some pedantic argument you made 4 years ago. And of course we are only hearing your side, so of course you're the hero. And judging by the fac

I'm not clear what point you're trying to make here. The original point is describing the interface between the 17mm tool and the 17mm bolt, not all of the other tools that could possibly interface with a 17mm bolt. Your other exa

You're going to be blown away when you discover people have been reliably passing down information to future generations for many many centuries.

Because clearly that "smart entrepreneur" has demonstrated that he has no issue willfully committing an elaborate fraud. It's not a stretch to believe that its better for society to keep people like this (a combination of hig

Then I guess we should include every study participant as an author across all disciplines. 200 participant study in psychology? 200 authors on the paper.

You really think their hiring pool is going to shrink because they got fined for $150,000? The person they are hiring is likely going to cost more than the whole fine. And OK, let's say they keep getting fined. Seems like a badge of ho

"Too much tension" is not a math problem. It's an engineering problem (and a poorly defined one, at that). Try thinking for a few seconds before posting such a meritless dismissal.

OK, great. So can you explain how the mathematical answer is a solution to your interpretation? Spoiler alert: it didn't. Nowhere does the mathematical answer address the question of "too much". And what do you mean by "

So with zero substantiation from the OP (who admitted this), you believe this explanation and you've now connected it to some company trip to South Korea you once didn't go on?

Think of what you're saying. If it was so bimodal that the screened people "gained years" while the ones who didn't "gained 0", then how could the average possibly be 4 months? If we take your theory at face va

I don't understand questions like this. You have the entire internet to search, powerful search tools, libraries, bookstores, etc. You're asking about the most basic building blocks of a subject (akin to asking "How can I lea

You're right. Why should any American ever work in any job that doesn't favorably compare to SWE salary and working conditions? Everyone should quit their jobs and become a SWE. It's just that simple, right? /s

This seems like a great way to make people believe you're smart when you're really just constructing "surprising" talks.

You make it sound so straightforward and simple. > and then you do the experiments and see if the idea works or not The problem is "if the idea works or not" can be very fuzzy. With a little p-hacking, anything can work! If not

Since when is "miles driven around" a good indicator of build quality for a laptop? Your laptop isn't a car. There's no odometer on it.

That ship has sailed my friend. Comments like this have been proliferating for some time. And then they take off on their own uninteresting threads like you see on Reddit, with people just repeating low-effort meme responses on and on and o

Unfortunately for the author, it would then become apparent that this approach is just something that sounds great for a blog post and has little to no practical value. The advice isn't even consistent. He says that you need to break t

It doesn't matter that it requires effort. You don't get a gold star in these scenarios simply for putting in effort. If you didn't spend any time thinking about what someone in these scenarios might truly NEED, you're a

Unfortunately as people move away from Reddit, invariably some number of them will end up here and we'll end up flooded with even more useless Reddit comments like this.

The other option you may not have considered here is that you are immensely entertained by boring and derivative writing.

Where did OP mention that a human should be ragdolled by a bullet? Also, I'd love to see you take a punch by a good boxer and remain even remotely still.

This article makes exactly 0 arguments about why it's time to freak out. Just a bunch of vague claims, fear mongering, and dubious extrapolation. I imagine you could find a similar article in a newspaper after the loom was invented.

Anyone who uses the term "deeply afraid" to describe their feelings towards what amounts to just a smaller version of their laptop... I just don't know what to say really. What exactly is the silver bullet here unless you wer
